history of present illness: the patient is status post percutaneous nephrostomy for nephrolithiasis obstructing the left kidney with pyelonephritis and becoming septic. other medical conditions: radical prostatectomy for which he received x-ray therapy. hypercholesterolemia. chronic low back pain. osteoarthritis. physical examination: on admission, the patient had temperature of 101.1 degrees, blood pressure was 113/52, pulse of 97, respiratory rate of 14, 97 percent on room air. the patient was alert and oriented to person, place, and time. cardiovascular: regular rate and rhythm. normal s1 and s2. no murmurs, rubs, or gallops. lungs were clear to auscultation. abdomen was soft, obese, positive bowel sounds, nontender, and nondistended. no peripheral edema. hospital course: the patient was scheduled for a cystoscopy. on the day of cystoscopy, the patient became febrile to 102 degrees and then to 104 degrees very quickly over the course of an hour or two. it was suspected that he would get septic, and he was deemed to high a risk for general anesthesia and was taken to fluoroscopy suite where he had a percutaneous nephrostomy on the left side. the fluid drained from there was stained and cultured. it grew out gram- positive cocci, coagulase-negative staphylococcus. the growth was sparse. the thought was that he was already on iv antibiotics, ampicillin, and gentamicin that would have covered other gram-positives, possibly streptococci and gram- negative bugs, so that they did not show up on culture, so he was continued on iv antibiotics. after the nephrostomy, he was taken to the unit where he spent two nights until he became more stable. while in the unit, his blood pressures dipped to the 90s systolic. when he was afebrile with pulse back up to systolic in the 120s, he was brought out of the unit to the floor where he recovered nicely. also while in the unit, he had a low potassium of 3.4 and required supplemental potassium; and to bring up his blood pressure, he was bolused multiple liters of normal saline. other important studies include a ct that showed a 1 cm stone at the upj junction that was the cause of the obstruction. during the fluoroscopic percutaneous nephrostomy, they were able to pull that stone back, but did not extract it. discharge status: good. he was afebrile, tolerating a regular diet, and ambulating without difficulty with pain well controlled on oral medications. discharge medications: 1. levaquin 500 mg p.o. q.d. 2. amoxicillin 500 mg t.i.d. for 14 days. the patient was asked if he had all home medications, and he replied yes. after discharge, he asked for some fioricet and was given 10 fioricet. follow up: the patient is to follow up in dr. office in 7 to 10 days. , dictated by: medquist36 d: 08:20:28 t: 09:07:27 job#: Procedure: Percutaneous nephrostomy without fragmentation Diagnoses: Pure hypercholesterolemia Unspecified septicemia Hypopotassemia Unspecified sleep apnea Hydronephrosis Calculus of kidney Pyelonephritis, unspecified

ams- secondary to medication error and exacerbated by opiate withdrawal. the patient was found altered at home, given narcan and woke up to become very combative and difficult to control. he was treated with several medications in the ed, but needed to be intubated to have a ct scan and lp. his ct and lp were both negative. he was monitored overnight and treated with zosyn for a supicious ua. in the am of his second day of hospitalization, he woke up and self-extubated himself despite being on a propofol gtt. his mental status began to clear over the course of the day, and he remember that instead of taking his 2.5 tabs of methadone, he took 2.5 tabs of ambien. that was likely the cause of his altered mental status. he was appropriate, although somewhat somnulent, at the time of transfer from the micu. through the rest of his hospitalization, the patient's mental status returned to baseline and he was able to be started on his home medications without incident. # opiate withdrawal - patient has opiate dependence as he has been on chronic methadone and percocet for pain control. pt was given narcan by ems which escalated his ams. while pain medications were initially held while the patient was intubated, his home regimen of opiates were restarted following extubation. # urostomy -pt with h.o prostate ca s/p surgical intervention with h.o fistulas. now urostomy. although the initial ua was positive, this was thought to represent colonization rather than true infection. the patient was initially treated for a uti as a possible source for his altered mental state. however, after the patient was extubated and it became clear that ams was due to medication/ opiate withdrawal rather than infection, all antibiotics were stopped. #

there were no schistocytes on peripheral smear. after several days the patient's thrombocytopenia resolved and she developed thrombocytosis, with platelets reaching a peak of 1306 on discharge. a peripheral smear was negative for platelet clumping. this thrombocytosis was felt to be reactive in the setting of infection and asplenia. heme/onc was curbsided and recommended against aspirin treatment. the patient will get a follow-up platelet count checked with her pcp. 5) hyperbilirubinemia/transaminitis: after reaching a peak tbili of 4.6, the patient's hyperbilirubinemia had resolved by the time of discharge. her ldh had normalized (peak 307). her alt, ast, and alk elevations had improved, though all were still elevated at discharge (alt 91 from peak 103, ast 59 from peak 82, alk 227 from peak 407). a ruq ultrasound was negative for liver lesions or intrahepatic bile duct dilatation. these lab abnormalities were felt to have been caused by tpn. 6) chemical pancreatitis: the patient had an elevated amylase (peak 170) but never had abdominal pain. her amylase had decreased to 131 by discharge. 7) heart murmur: a i-ii/vi systolic murmur was heard on exam on the day of discharge. a tte was done to rule out endocarditis; it showed no vegetation. 8) dysphagia: the patient received tpn and tube feeds while intubated. after extubation she failed a swallowing study. she refused ng tube placement and received only maintenance ivf until passing a repeat swallowing study three days later. this study did, however, show trace aspiration, and the patient will have a repeat swallowing study as an outpatient. 9) skin lesions: in the micu the patient was noted to have several small erythematous papules on her left inner thigh. cultures were sent for herpes, which were still pending at discharge. 10) subconjunctival hemorrhages: the patient had bilateral subconjunctival hemorrhages secondary to traumatic intubation. an ophthalmology consult at ruled out endophthalmitis and intraocular hemorrhage. 11) hypothyroidism: the patient was maintained on iv levothyroxine until she was taking po's, when she was transitioned to po levothyroxine. she will have her tsh checked as an outpatient. 12) ovarian failure: the patient's estrogen/progesterone replacement therapy was reinstituted as per her home regimen after she began taking po's. 13) disposition: the patient will continue to work with physical therapy as an outpatient. 14) code status: full code medications on admission: home meds prior to admission: 1. levothyroxine 75mcg po q24h 2. medroxyprogesterone acetate 10mg po on days of cycle 3. estradiol 2mg po q24h discharge medications: 1. levothyroxine 75mcg po q24h 2. medroxyprogesterone acetate 10mg po on days of cycle 3. estradiol 2mg po q24h 4. levofloxacin 500mg po qd x 2 days, first dose 6/9 discharge disposition: home with service facility: discharge diagnosis: pneumococcal sepsis hypoxic respiratory failure hyperbilirubinemia transaminitis thrombocytopenia reactive thrombocytosis anemia chemical pancreatitis pleural effusion discharge condition: ambulating with pt, urinating/bming on own, tolerating po diet discharge instructions: if you have fevers/chills, shortness of breath, or abdominal pain, please call your doctor or come to the er. please complete all your antibiotics. please have your platelet count checked on friday . followup instructions: 1) you have an appointment at the infectious disease clinic () with dr. . date/time: 9:30 a.m. the specific question to address with dr. is whether the standard pneumovax or prevnar is more appropriate for you. 2) please call your pcp to make an appointment within the next two weeks. you will need to get your tsh (thyroid test) rechecked and to follow up on the biopsy of your l thigh lesions. md Procedure: Continuous invasive mechanical ventilation for less than 96 consecutive hours Spinal tap Incision of lung Parenteral infusion of concentrated nutritional substances Insertion of endotracheal tube Enteral infusion of concentrated nutritional substances Thoracentesis Diagnoses: Thrombocytopenia, unspecified Anemia, unspecified Unspecified pleural effusion Severe sepsis Acute respiratory failure Septic shock Pneumococcal septicemia [Streptococcus pneumoniae septicemia] Acute pancreatitis Personal history of hodgkin's disease
history of present illness: this is a 73 year old woman who was transferred on , from hospital with abdominal pain. she had been admitted at the outside hospital on , and had at that time complaints of right sided shoulder pain and was found to have asthmatic bronchitis, and then subsequently found to have methicillin resistant staphylococcus aureus pneumonia. also, she was treated for methicillin resistant staphylococcus aureus pneumonia with vancomycin. she had this worsening abdominal pain and it was decided to be transferred to the for further work-up of this. hospital course: during her admission to the medical service, the patient had a general surgical consultation which was done on . the initial impression was two weeks of abdominal pain with a differential including ischemic colitis, infectious colitis such as with c. difficile, diverticulitis. the patient unfortunately was unable to take intravenous contrast so her ct scans that were obtained were all without intravenous contrast making bowel wall and ischemia more difficulty to diagnose in her case. the gi service was following her very carefully as well. the patient underwent aggressive intravenous hydration. dr. was the initial surgical attending of record. most of her pain was in her left lower quadrant and suprapubic. she also had some bloody diarrhea and progressive abdominal distention, which was concerning prior to her transfer to us, at the outside hospital. the ct scan of the abdomen that had been obtained showed a thickened sigmoid. barium enema showed some mucosal ulcerations. she, during her hospitalization up to the , had been treated with antibiotics including vancomycin, ceptaz and flagyl. the patient had been passing flatus and had liquid stools. on abdominal examination she was soft and moderately distended. there were no palpable masses appreciated. her rectal examination was guaiac positive with loose stool present. there were no palpable masses. the patient had a variety of stool studies sent. she continued on levaquin and flagyl. levaquin was added because she was noted to have a positive urinalysis and for gram negative enteric coverage as well. hospital course: the hospital course was basically passing flatus and stool with low grade temperatures and waxing and left lower quadrant pain. the patient essentially had a picc placed on , #5 french dual-lumen large catheter in the right arm. she did require a blood transfusion for decreasing hematocrit and was started on tpn. she had a pleural fluid tap for an effusion. she had a flexible sigmoidoscopy on the 26th. the flexible sigmoidoscopy showed some pseudomembranes and the patient was given flagyl p.o. three times a day. c. difficile toxins were sent and the final on the gi study was an active colitis. differential was continued ischemic versus infectious colitis. on , she had a right upper extremity ultrasound which did not show evidence of a venous thrombosis. all stool cultures were negative. of note, incidentally, the patient suffered from audio toxicity upon her presentation to this hospitalization and it was unclear exactly the etiology of this audio toxicity as her hearing was markedly decreased. after multiple discussions with the family and dr. in dr. absence, and the gi attending, dr. and their service, the patient consented to an operation. of note, on , a c. difficile toxin positive but all other things were negative for c. difficile. she was taken to the operating room after a short trial of p.o. vancomycin after the c. difficile toxin became positive. however, clinically her examination did not improve, so she was taken to the operating room with a preoperative diagnosis of ischemic colitis and postoperative diagnosis was gangrenous contained perforated colitis. she underwent an exploratory laparotomy on , and had a subtotal abdominal colectomy with end-ileostomy, a hartmann's sigmoid procedure and a splenectomy, wash-out of her abdominal cavity, repair of some serosal injuries to the small intestine. the patient's operative findings were that of a gangrenous contained perforated colon, soilage frankly to the abdomen, dead splenic flexure adherent to the spleen requiring splenectomy. the patient was taken to the intensive care unit postoperatively. her postoperative course was most remarkable for self-extubation followed by re-intubation followed by an additional round of elective extubation and re-intubation, and the patient had been intermittently treated with vancomycin for a methicillin resistant staphylococcus aureus pneumonia and methicillin resistant staphylococcus aureus in the sputum which she had had at the outside hospital and was continuing on. she finally had a tracheostomy placed for failure to wean off the ventilator. her early ostomy functional, patent and productive. the patient had been on tpn and was changed to tube feeds at goal which she tolerated well. perioperatively, the patient was maintained on intravenous lopressor and gradually she was switched over to p.o. lopressor and p.o. diltiazem, and of which she had been on a calcium-channel blocker preoperatively prior to admission. she has been followed by physical therapy and nutrition as well as speech and swallowing, which helped place a passe-muir valve with some vocalization but inability to tolerate p.o. and to coordinate swallowing. for her infectious disease course, she was maintained on triple antibiotics postoperatively, of vancomycin, levofloxacin and flagyl, a ten-day course of vancomycin and when that was stopped, her white count increased and she developed fevers ago. that was restarted after sputum, blood and urine were sent. her blood cultures had been negative. her urine grew out enterococcus which was not thought to be pathogenic at the time and her sputum continued to grow out methicillin resistant staphylococcus aureus. the patient was maintained on deep venous thrombosis prophylaxis of subcutaneous heparin. she was on carafate while intubated, and then she has been on tube feeds at goal. she is not on any further ulcer prophylaxis. she received aggressive resuscitation and her postoperative course involved significant diuresis with maximum of 40 twice a day of lasix down to 20 twice a day of ng tube lasix and currently she will stop lasix as she appears to be euvolemic and has lost all the anasarca that she had accumulated. past medical history: 1. significant for degenerative joint disease. 2. ischemic colitis. 3. chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. 4.

history of present illness: the patient is a 51 year old male who in late , early developed an upper respiratory infection. after his symptoms failed to improve, he underwent evaluation with radiography which eventually demonstrated a collapsed right upper lung with a right upper lobe hilar mass. bronchoscopy with transbronchial biopsy demonstrated a nonsmall cell lung carcinoma. mediastinoscopy was negative for mediastinal involvement. the patient's postoperative course was complicated by respiratory insufficiency requiring intubation. he was transferred to where a rigid bronchoscopy and debridement of the right main stem endobronchial tumor opening up the right lower and right middle lobe. a stent was also placed in the right main stem bronchus to maintain patency. the patient was discharged and now returns to the thoracic oncology multidisciplinary center for evaluation. it was decided to treat the patient with neoadjuvant chemotherapy/radiation to be followed by possible sleeve lobectomy. since that time, the patient has completed chemotherapy and radiotherapy. a repeat chest ct scan showed significant regression of the tumor within the right upper lobe bronchus to the point the right upper lobe was back spanned. there was no significant reduction of the tumor mass at the tracheobronchial angle. past medical history: 1. herniated discs. 2. possible myocardial infarction. medications on admission: 1. oxycontin. 2. percocet. allergies: the patient has no known drug allergies. social history: the patient smoked one and one half packs a day for forty years. he continued to smoke up to eight days ago. family history: the patient's father died of lung cancer. mother died of diabetes mellitus. sister currently has coronary artery disease. physical examination: the patient is a well developed male in no apparent distress. temperature is 97.3, pulse 72, oxygen saturation 97% in room air, blood pressure 100/64. head, eyes, ears, nose and throat - sclera is anicteric. neck - no supraclavicular or cervical lymphadenopathy. lungs are clear to auscultation bilaterally. heart is regular rate and rhythm without murmur. the abdomen is soft without masses. extremities - inguinal and groin regions have no lymphadenopathy. extremities show no cyanosis, clubbing or edema. hospital course: the patient was admitted on , and taken directly to the operating room where a bronchoscopy and right pneumonectomy was performed. the patient initially tolerated the procedure quite well. he had a chest tube in place. he was on perioperative kefzol and managed by acute pain service. chest tube was removed on postoperative day one, perioperative ancef was continued for one week. the patient was advanced on his diet. unfortunately on postoperative day number two, the patient started to experience some respiratory distress that over the course of the day was progressive to the point the patient required transfer to the intensive care unit for closer monitoring. the patient received in the intensive care unit two units of packed red blood cells for anemia. the patient received lasix in an attempt to decrease what initially appeared to be fluid on the lung. the patient was put on broad spectrum antibiotics, initially levofloxacin and flagyl and then zosyn. it was finally decided the patient had a post pneumonectomy contralateral lung respiratory distress syndrome associated with inflammation. the patient was started on epogen. over the course of the next several days, the patient required aggressive pulmonary treatment including cpap and steroids. when the patient was adequately stable, he was transferred back to the regular cardiothoracic floor where he slowly improved. the patient did essentially require aggressive respiratory therapy including oxygen and periodic nebulizer treatments. it was felt by the team that the patient will benefit from a period of rehabilitation in an acute pulmonary rehabilitation setting. for that matter, he is being discharged tomorrow in stable condition to acute pulmonary rehabilitation facility. he will need to follow-up with dr. in one to two weeks. the patient may shower but not take any baths. he should avoid driving while on pain medications. he should avoid strenuous activity. medications on discharge: 1. nicotine patch 21 mg td once daily. 2. prednisone 10 mg p.o. times five days. 3. levofloxacin 500 mg p.o. q24hours times five days. 4. ranitidine 150 mg p.o. twice a day. 5. colace 100 mg p.o. three times a day p.r.n. 6. nystatin swish and swallow 5 ml p.o. four times a day p.r.n. 7. oxycodone 10 mg p.o. q3-4hours p.r.n. pain. 8. oxycodone sustained release 30 mg p.o. q8hours. 9. midazolam 1 to 2 mg intravenously q4hours p.r.n. 10. diazepam 5 mg p.o. q6hours p.r.n. 11. albuterol one nebulizer treatment q3-4hours p.r.n. 12. heparin 5000 units subcutaneous q12hours. , m.d. dictated by: medquist36 Procedure: Fiber-optic bronchoscopy Diagnoses: Acute posthemorrhagic anemia Malignant neoplasm of upper lobe, bronchus or lung Chronic and other pulmonary manifestations due to radiation

(unofficial read). cxr : impression: resolving left lower lobe opacity which may relate to resolving atelectasis or improving pneumonia. persistent small left pleural effusion. echo : conclusions: left ventricular wall thickness, cavity size, and systolic function are normal (lvef>55%). right ventricular chamber size and free wall motion are normal. there is an anterior space which most likely represents a fat pad, though a loculated anterior pericardial effusion cannot be excluded. there are no echocardiographic signs of tamponade. brief hospital course: a/p: 56f with h/o stage iv ovarian ca, recurrent dvts, morbid obesity and htn with acute renal failure contrast nephropathy, and altered mental status increasing opioid doses in setting of failing kidneys (kidneys not able to clear mscontin). . 1. acute renal failure, contrast nephropathy: given temporal relationship to contrast study, we felt this was most likely contrast nephropathy. her fena was calculated to be 0.4% which can be consistent with renovascular constriction from contrast in the setting of dm. her renal ultrasound was without evidence of obstruction. we held her acei given arf, and increased her renal perfusion in the icu with ivf, pressors and lasix challenges. her creatinine responded appropriately, and her renal function demonstrated a downward trend in creatinine. she urinated well, with discharge cr at 1.2 (her baseline). renal was consulted and followed pt throughout her hospital course. . 2. cardiovascuar/hypotension: the etiology of her presenting hypotension was unclear, given she had no active infection and this was not a septic picture. she had +mrsa sputum with ?pna. her echo on admission demonstrated ef=60%, but suboptimal anterior fat pad, so tamponade could not initially be ruled out. she did not have a pulsus parodoxicus or elevated jvp. . 3. change in mental status secondary to uremia vs oversedation, with decreased clearance of mscontin. following admission to the icu, she developed worsening mental status, that responded well to 0.4 mg narcan. of note, her mscontin dose recently increased to 100 mg po bid, so we felt that she had decreased clearance in setting of arf. her head ct was wnl; and the pt was refusing mri (to look for carcinomatous meningitis). she can follow up as an outpatient with dr. regarding mri for staging workup of the brain. at discharge, her mental status is clear. . 4. pulmonary: during her stay, she had a left pleural effusion with left lower lobe opacification, suggesting atelectasis versus consolidation on cxr. furthermore, her sputum cx came back positive for mrsa. this could be due to colonization vs. mrsa pna. she has remained afebrile, however, satting 100% on ra. this was resolving on subsequent cxrs. . 5. chronic anemia. her hematologist/oncologist felt this is likely secondary to treatment with the /taxol regimen. pt is s/p 5 cycles. we followed serial hcts, without need for transfusion. this will be monitored as outpatient. . 6. right dilated pupil: question with regards to the chronicity as pt reports having this in the past, but it is not documented in prior notes. initial head ct negative. pt does not want further imaging studies despite our explaining our concern for increased intracranial pressure or carcinomatous meningitis. - f/u with mri with dr. , if pt agrees. . 6. rue dvt: dx with thrombus in right axillary and subclavian veins, previously managed with lovenox. unclear why pt was not on coumadin. the pt is now on sq lovenox 120mg sq qam, 150mg sq qhs. she was on a heparin gtt while in the micu. . 7. dm: continue present outpatient management. on ssi in the hospital. . 8. code status: pt is dnr/dni. partner's sister is patient's hcp. discharge medications: 1. ferrous sulfate 325 (65) mg tablet sig: one (1) tablet po daily (daily). disp:*30 tablet(s)* refills:*2* 2. docusate sodium 100 mg capsule sig: one (1) capsule po bid (2 times a day). disp:*60 capsule(s)* refills:*2* 3. albuterol 90 mcg/actuation aerosol sig: 1-2 puffs inhalation q6h (every 6 hours) as needed. disp:*qs mdi* refills:*0* 4. pantoprazole sodium 40 mg tablet, delayed release (e.c.) sig: one (1) tablet, delayed release (e.c.) po q24h (every 24 hours). disp:*30 tablet, delayed release (e.c.)(s)* refills:*2* 5. calcium acetate 667 mg tablet sig: two (2) tablet po tid w/meals (3 times a day with meals). disp:*180 tablet(s)* refills:*2* 6. senna 8.6 mg tablet sig: one (1) tablet po bid (2 times a day) as needed. disp:*30 tablet(s)* refills:*2* 7. enoxaparin sodium 120 mg/0.8 ml syringe sig: one (1) subcutaneous qam (once a day (in the morning)). disp:*qs 120mg/0.8ml syringes* refills:*2* 8. enoxaparin sodium 150 mg/ml syringe sig: one (1) 150mg/ml syringes subcutaneous qpm (once a day (in the evening)). disp:*qs 150mg/ml syringes* refills:*2* 9. flovent 110 mcg/actuation aerosol sig: 2 puffs inhalation q4-6h prn wheezing. disp:*1 mdi* refills:*2* 10. oxycodone-acetaminophen 5-325 mg tablet sig: 1-2 tablets po 4 times per day prn as needed for pain: can take an additional 4 pills total throughout the day for breakthrough pain. max per day: 8 pills. disp:*40 tablet(s)* refills:*0* 11. levaquin 500 mg tablet sig: one (1) tablet po once a day for 6 days. disp:*6 tablet(s)* refills:*0* discharge disposition: home with service facility: greater vna discharge diagnosis: 1. acute renal failure secondary to intravenous contrast/contrast-induced nephropathy 2. opioid ingestion in setting of acute renal failure leading to altered mental status 3. pneumonia 4. stage iv ovarian cancer 5. type ii diabetes mellitus 6. morbid obesity 7. h/o recurrent deep venous thrombosis 8. hypertension 9. hypercholesterolemia 10. osteoporosis discharge condition: stable discharge instructions: if you experience any chest pain, shortness of breath, decreased urine output, nausea or vomiting, please report to the er immediately. please take all of your medications. please follow up with your physicians (appts listed below). followup instructions: 1. provider: , md where: hematology/oncology phone: date/time: 12:00 2. provider: date/time: 12:30 3. provider: , rn where: hematology/oncology phone: date/time: 12:30 4. please follow up with dr. . her office number is . please call this number as soon as possible to schedule a follow-up appointment.

history of present illness: the patient is 59 year old male with known coronary artery disease. he reported new onset angina with radiation to arms and upper back times two months which was brought on by activity and usually relieved with rest. he had a positive stress test on , with chest pain and st segment depression. on , he underwent cardiac catheterization which revealed three vessel disease. he was now referred to the cardiac surgery service for surgical intervention or bypass surgery. as well as the chest pain, he also reported dyspnea on exertion, fatigue and diaphoresis. past medical history: hypercholesterolemia. past surgical history: tonsillectomy. minor back surgery for removal of tumor. allergies: no known drug allergies. medications on admission: 1. lipitor 10 mg p.o. daily. 2. aspirin 325 mg p.o. daily. social history: he lives in with his wife. is a current tobacco smoker with a forty pack year history. he works full time as a project manager, and he drinks a couple beers a day. family history: he has no family history of coronary artery disease. review of symptoms: all review of systems are negative except the ones that were mentioned in the history of presenting illness. physical examination: the patient is five foot ten inches, 180 pounds, pulse 64, sinus rhythm, blood pressure 150/90, respiratory rate 21. the patient was generally lying flat in bed in no acute distress. he is awake, alert and oriented times three, responding appropriately to all questions and commands. he had fine rales at the right lung base. his heart rate was regular rate and rhythm, positive s1 and s2, no clicks, rubs or murmurs or gallops. his abdomen was soft, flat, nontender, nondistended with positive bowel sounds. his extremities were warm and well perfused, nonedematous without any varicosities. his pulses were bilateral radial pulse two plus, bilateral dorsalis pedis pulses one plus and bilateral posterior tibial pulses were two plus. laboratory data: his preoperative chest x-ray showed no acute cardiopulmonary process. preoperative electrocardiogram was 62 beats per minute, sinus rhythm. his urinalysis was negative. his preoperative laboratories were as follows: white blood cell count 6.7, hematocrit 37.6, platelet count 202,000. sodium 139, potassium 3.8, chloride 106, bicarbonate 24, blood urea nitrogen 10, creatinine 0.8, glucose 92. prothrombin time 12.9, partial thromboplastin time 26.5, inr 1.0. alt 16, ast 20, alkaline phosphatase 79, total bilirubin 0.4, albumin 4.2. urinalysis was negative. hemoglobin a1c was 5.8. his cardiac catheterization results were as follows: he had a totally occluded left anterior descending coronary artery after a proximal mild lesion of 30 percent and his left circumflex was 60 percent occluded. obtuse marginal one was 90 percent and his right coronary artery was totally occluded and ejection fraction was 60 percent. ho course: on , the patient was brought into the operating room and after being intubated and foley induced by anesthesia, he underwent coronary artery bypass graft times three. grafts were as follows: left internal mammary artery to the left anterior descending coronary artery, saphenous vein graft to obtuse marginal, saphenous vein graft to diagonal. this procedure was performed by dr. . the patient tolerated the procedure well. his total cardiopulmonary bypass time was 97 minutes. his cross clamp time was 65 minutes. following the procedure, the patient was transferred to the csru. he was receiving nitroglycerin drip 1 mcg/kg/minute and he was being titrated on propofol. his vital signs on transfer, he had a mean arterial pressure of 63, cvp of 78 and heart rate of 81 beats per minute and was being a paced. later this day on , once the patient was in csru, he was successfully extubated. on postoperative day number one, the patient was hemodynamically stable with a blood pressure of 94/47, heart rate 70, and he had an oxygen saturation of 99 percent on three liters of nasal cannula. the plan today was to wean and discontinue his neo-synephrine and nitroglycerin which was currently at 1.2 of neo-synephrine and 0.25 of nitroglycerin and to start lasix. due to poor target, to start oral nitrates. also, since apparently the patient was a difficult intubation, it was thought that the patient would need to have a swallowing evaluation which was performed on postoperative day number two. on postoperative day number two, the patient was hemodynamically stable and physical examination was unremarkable. swallowing evaluation recommended soft

decrease in size of incompletely evaluated retroperitoneal lymphadenopathy. 5. tiny perihepatic ascites. ct abd: 1. overall, stable retroperitoneal disease burden. 2. slight improvement in some regions of consolidation within the lungs, although there is increased ground-glass opacity seen in the upper lobe of both the right and left lungs. this may be secondary in part to regions of improving aeration when compared to prior consolidation, although some regions which appear to have worsening ground-glass opacity may be secondary to atypical infection including processes such as pcp, other infectious/inflammatory processes. 3. unchanged appearance of mediastinal masses. 4. multiple hypodense foci seen within the spleen and liver. these presumably may be secondary to hodgkin involvement, and while somewhat more prominent than on prior examination, they do not appear to be new. 5. moderately severe narrowing of the splenic vein, without total occlusion at this time. in addition, there is moderate-to-severe narrowing of the mid portal vein as well. pathology sigmoid colon biopsy: 1. diffuse regeneration of the crypts, consistent with a healing process (see note). 2. no viral inclusions, granulomas or tumor seen. 3. immunostain is negative for cmv with satisfactory control. renal biopsy, needle: consistent with "acute tubular necrosis", see note. bone marrow and

of acute marrow injury from secondary causes such as medications, toxic/metabolic, immune insult etc. please correlate with clinical and other laboratory, including cytogenetic findings. brief hospital course: assessment: 45-year-old man with a history of hodgkin's disease status post multiple disease relapses after auto and allo sct, most recently treated with gemzar, navelbine and decadron on 30 day cycle, who presented with fever to 101 prior to chemotherapy administration. . ## fever/pneumonia: ct findings suggested pneumonia as source of fevers. he was initally treated with levoquin, but this was changed to vancomycin cefepime/voriconizole for broader coverage. beacause of concern for sepsis, the patient was transferred to for bronchoscopy which revealed thick white secretions c/w pna. small blood in one of bal samples was likely due to trauma. following bronchoscopy, the patient's sbp dropped to 60s with versed so got 500 cc bolus with improvement to 80s-90s. post bronchoscopy cxr showed slight worsening of rll infiltrate. sputum cultures were negative. pt was started in extended course of abx. the patient had a repeat bronchoscopy on , with bal cultures showing just oropharyngial flora and no pcp. remained afebrile off antibiotics prior to discharge. pt continued home salmeterol and albuterol for asthma . ## hypotension: pt was noted to be hypotensive during his admission. he had a history of chronic steroid use which had been discontinued. it was felt that his hypotension was possibly due to adrenal insufficiency and he was restarted on stress dose steroids with marked improvement in hemodynamic response. pt became nauseated and did not take prednisone or other oral meds and was noted to have additional episodes of hypotension . he was switched to po prednisone on and was discharged on prednisone 10 mg daily. - consider tapering off prednisone as an outpatient. . ## diarrhea: , pt reported having several loose stools. he was started on flagyl with concern for c. difficile. gi was consulted and the patient was subsequently started on po vancomycin, however c. dif testing was negative x 3. flex sig was recommended done on showing normal mucosa in the sigmoid colon (biopsied). . ## acute renal failure: on , pt was noted to have a non-gap metabolic acidosis with a creatinine of 1.5. he was started on iv fluids with bicarb, however renal function progressively worsened despite hydration. renal service was consulted. a vanco level was 57. potentially nephrotoxic medications were held, (including acyclovir). dialysis was initiated on . renal biopsy done on c/w atn. he continued on dialysis until and his hd line was removed on . creatinine was stable around 3.4 off dialysis. - follow electrolytes - outpatient renal f/u scheduled. . ## hodgkin's lymphoma: the patient had a history of multiple relapses. he was scheduled to receive gemzar, navelbine and decadron. treatment was initially on hold given possible infectious issues. however, there was concern that renal failure, diarrhea and rising ldh may be related, however renal and gi biopsies were not consistent with lymphoma. . # hypotension. hemodynamically stable; thought to be due to adrenal insufficiency. pt was on hydrocortisone but switched to prednisone. was stable but had additional hypotension on so was restated on high dose steroids- now on 10 mg methylprednisolone daily. . # hbv core ab positive. continue lamivudine therapy. dosing was adjusted for crcl. - readjust dose per renal function. . # fen: regular

mild plaquing. the lad had an ostial subtotal occlusion and a proximal total occlusion. the distal lad filled faintly by left to left collaterals. the lcx was modest av groove vessel with small om branches. the ramus intermedius was large with a 30% mid vessel lesion. the rca had diffuse plaquing to 30% proximally. there were some septals providing collateral flow to the lad. 2. resting hemodynamics demonstrated cardiogenic shock. right sided filling pressures were markedly elevated with a mean ra pressure 18 mm hg. left sided filling pressures were also elevated with a mean pcw pressure of 24 mm hg and lvedp of 23 mm hg. cardiac index was markedly depressed at 1.0 l/min/m2, based on an assumed oxygen consumption index. there was no evidenc of a gradient across the aortic valve on pullback of the pigtail catheter from the left ventricle. moderate pulmonary hypertension was present. 3. an 8 french 40 cc intra-aortic balloon pump was placed via the right common femoral artery. there was appropriate augmentation of the diastolic pressure and unloading of the ventricle. after balloon augmentation, the cardiac index rose to 1.8 l/min/m2. 4. successful pci of the proximal lad with a 2.0 x 18 mm pixel stent, post-dilated with a 2.5 mm balloon at 18 atm (see ptca comments). 5. abdominal aortography was performed with a 4 french tennis racquet catheter using 30 cc of contrast at 15 cc/second. there was adequate runoff with mild diffuse plaquing in the bilateral iliac and right common femoral arteries despite the presence of the iabp sheath. final diagnosis: 1. one vessel cad. 2. cardiogenic shock. 3. successfl pci of the lad for acute anterior myocardial infarction. echo: the left atrium is moderately dilated. the right atrium is moderately dilated. a patent foramen ovale is present. the inferior vena cava is dilated (>2.5 cm). the left ventricular cavity is moderately dilated. there is severe global lv hypokinesis with distal septal and apical dyskinesis. the basal to middle septum is thinned and akinetic. a large, non-mobile thrombus is seen in the left ventriclar apex (2.0 x 3.0 cm) extending down the distal septum. the right ventricular cavity is dilated. right ventricular systolic function appears depressed. the aortic valve leaflets (3) appear structurally normal with good leaflet excursion. there is no aortic valve stenosis. mild (1+) aortic regurgitation is seen. the mitral valve leaflets are mildly thickened. mild to moderate (+) mitral regurgitation is seen. there is no pericardial effusion. ct of the chest with iv contrast: bilateral axillary, left internal mammary, precarinal, and subcarinal lymphadenopathy is again noted, unchanged since the prior study. left subclavian approach swan-ganz catheter terminates within the left main pulmonary artery. a focal area of soft tissue within the left ventricular cavity presumably represents the patient's known thrombus. the heart is enlarged but there is no pericardial effusion. the appearance of the lungs is unchanged since the prior study. again, seen are multifocal areas of parenchymal opacification in a peribronchovascular distribution as well as smaller nodular opacities. peripheral left basilar opacities are again identified associated with a small amount of pleural fluid. the airways remain patent to the level of the subsegmental bronchi bilaterally. ct of the abdomen with iv contrast: oblong hypodensity extending from the splenic hilum to the posterior aspect of the spleen likely represents a splenic infarct. a smaller area of decreased attenuation is identified as well. the splenic vein and artery appear patent. the liver, gallbladder, pancreas, adrenal glands, and right kidney appear grossly normal. there is a peripheral area of hypodensity involving the left kidney in a single image, possib ly representing a renal infarct. left kidney otherwise enhances and excretes contrast. stomach and visualized loops of small and large bowel are unremarkable. the aorta and its major intra- abdominal branches appear patent. there is no free fluid within the abdomen. ct of the pelvis with iv contrast: a small focus of gas within the urinary bladder, presumably related to prior instrumentation. the distal ureters, seminal vesicles, and pelvic loops of bowel appear grossly normal. there is no free fluid within the pelvis. bone windows: no suspicious lytic or blastic lesions are identified. impression: 1) unchanged appearance of bilateral peribronchovascular airspace opacities as well as multiple peripheral poorly defined nodular opacities. differential diagnosis remains unchanged and includes infection, septic emboli, cryptogenic organizing pneumonia, and vasculitis. 2) stable appearance of mediastinal and axillary lymphadenopathy. 3) findings consistent with splenic infarcts involving the posterior aspect of the spleen. 4) focal area of hyperperfusion within the lateral mid pole of the left kidney possibly an infarct. 5) ill-defined soft tissue within the left ventricle presumably represents the patient's known left ventricular thrombus. ct head w/o contrast: there is no evidence of intracranial hemorrhage, mass lesion, hydrocephalus, shift of normally midline structures, minor or major vascular territorial infarct. -white matter differentiation is preserved. note is made of a mucosal retention cyst in the left maxillary sinus. osseous and soft-tissue structures are otherwise unremarkable. impression: no evidence of intracranial hemorrhage or other acute intracranial pathology. eeg: this is a discontinuous bedside eeg telemetry from -29 that was abnormal due to the presence of a low voltage background rhythm with occasional low voltage periods of delta and alpha frequency activity. these findings suggest deep, midline subcortical dysfunction and are likely a medication effect due to propafol. as the record progressed, higher voltage, hz delta frequency activity was seen. this also suggests deep, midline subcortical dysfunction and is consistent with an encephalopathy that, again, may be due to a medication effect. during the recording, intermittent arm twitching and upper body fasciculations were noted and there was no evidence of seizure activity. no lateralizing abnormalities were seen. sinus tachycardia was noted. : right upper quadrant ultrasound: comparison is made to a ct scan dated . liver demonstrates no focal or textural abnormalities. there is no intrahepatic or extrahepatic ductal dilatation. the common bile duct measures 2.2 mm in diameter. the portal vein is patent with flow in the appropriate direction. there is mild distention of a sludge containing gallbladder. the pancreas is normal in appearance. there is a small amount of pericholecystic fluid as well as focal wall edema. small amount of ascites is present adjacent to the right lobe of the liver. there is a small right pleural effusion. impression: mildly distended sludge containing gallbladder, small amount of pericholecystic fluid and focal wall edema as above. these findings are concerning for, but not diagnostic of, cholecystitis. if there is continued clinical concern for cholecystitis, a hida scan is recommended. hida: negative right axillary lymph node biopsy: hiv-associated adenopathy with follicular involution, lymphocyte depletion, follicular dendritic cell hyperplasia and histiocytic hyperplasia see note. ct of the chest without intravenous contrast: in comparison with the previous examination, there has been marked interval progression of bilateral patchy and nodular pulmonary parenchymal opacity consistent with multifocal pneumonia. there is a new large right-sided pleural effusion and interval increase in size of a moderate left pleural effusion. the visualized portions of the heart and pericardium appear unchanged. visualization of the mediastinal structures is limited due to lack of iv contrast. the airways are patent to the level of the segmental bronchi bilaterally. limited images of the upper abdomen, including limited images of the liver, spleen, and stomach, appear unremarkable. bone windows: bone windows demonstrate no evidence of suspicious lytic or sclerotic osseous lesions. there is significant motion during image acquisition, which limits visualization of fine osseous detail within the ribs, particularly on the right. impression: significant interval progression of bilateral pulmonary parenchymal consolidation consistent with multifocal pneumonia. interval increase in bilateral pleural effusions. microbiology/serology work-up: urine legionella negative dfa negative for influenza on admission induced sputum negative for pcp, cryptococcal antigen negative ebv serology negative cmv

anterior st elevations on ekg in ed and total occlusion of lad in cath lab, status post stent placement (bare metal stent) on , also with bilateral pulmonary infiltrate on cxr. his hospital course will be reviewed by problems as it was complicated by multiple issues. . 1) cv: a). cad: as mentionned above, mr. was taken to the cath lab on where he was found to have total occlusion of the lad and received a bare metal stent. right heart catheterization showed elevated pcwp of 26 and mvo2 sat of 24%, with ci of 1.0. an iabp was placed with improvement in ci to 1.8, and dopamine was initiated. he was subsequently transferred to the ccu for further care. it was felt that the mi was not acute given the low enzyme levels (troponin 0.08, flat mb on ) but most likely represented an event a couple weeks old. of note, plavix was held in anticipation for invasive diagnostic procedures for his pulmonary process. he had a heparin coated bare metal stent placed on , and plavix was stopped despite such a short course. it was not restarted due to persistent bleeding from epistaxis. . b). pump: an echo on revealed an ef 10-15% and an apical lv thrombus, and mr. was started on heparin iv. during his course in the ccu, he was switched to milrinone for inotropic support, and diuresis was initiated given elevated filling pressures and poor ef. lasix and milrinone therapy were tailored to increase his cardiac index by following pap values. during this part of the hospital course he had several episodes of svt responsive to lopressor, and later had nsvt for which milrinone wean was accelerated. as tolerated by good cardiac index, he was weaned off the iabp and started on ace-inhibitor, and weaned off milrinone. digoxin was also started and coreg was added. . he was transferred to the floor on , stable on ace inhibitor and bb. on the second day on the floor, he became hypotensive and developed a fever to 102.5. he was given fluids and placed on dopamine out of concern for sepsis and possible cardiogenic shock, and transferred back to the ccu. over that night he was switched to levophed as he was too tachycardic on dopamine. a swan was again placed and the numbers were consistent with cardiogenic shock and superimposed sepsis. pressors were changed to milrinone. . he has remained on milrinone since his transfer back to the ccu, and has been on intermittent ace inhibitor therapy (held in the setting of hypotension and rising creatinine). we were eventually able to titrate lisinopril to 5 mg po qd. therapy was tailored to the patient's bp and urine output once the pa line was out. few attempts to wean milrinone have been unsuccessful because of hypotension. the chf service was consulted, with recommendations to start digoxin for inotropic support, and transfuse to keep hematocrit > 30, both of which were done. of note, while in the ccu, mr. had recurrent episodes of complete heart block, and digoxin was discontinued. he was also diuresed with lasix boluses prn for goal daily even to negative fluid balance. at some point he was so fluid overloaded, he required lasix gtt with additional boluses to attain euvolemia. . however, the patient's congestive heart failure continue to worsen throughout his course. at first, the patient wished to be dnr/dni with continued measures to save his life including milrinone. the swan was discontinued with persistently low cardiac indexes in the 1.4 range on milrinone. however, the patient then reversed his code status as he was given the hope that he might recover. despite this hope, the patient's congestive heart failure worsened to the point that recovery is slim and he will remain dependent on milrinone for the rest of his life. meanwhile, he would occasionally drop his pressures and require levophed. on dobutamine, he developed ectopy and this was stopped. at the patient's family's request, dr. from , a heart failure expert, came to evaluate the patient and agreed that the patient would not be a candidate for a left ventricular assist device or heart transplant as the patient has no intrinsicly preserved heart function to support such a thing. furthermore, his pulmonary status is so poor that he would not tolerate a heart transplant. in addition, dr. from the brighham also offered a second opinion in which he at first suggested repeating a ct scan of his chest, improving his nutritional status and repeating an echocardiogram to assess the patient's improvement and consider lvad. however, a repeat ct scan showed minimal improvement of the patient's boop on prednisone, a repeat echo showed decreased systolic function and although he is at goal tpn, his nutritional status will not further improve. therefore, the patient has been denied by the for further intervention as well. . the patient continued to be dependent on milrinone and levophed for inotropy and pressure support. multiple attempts were made to wean down the levophed dose in an attempt to discharge/transfer pt to home/floor, however this proved very difficult due to repeated episodes of hypotension. on the last days of his hospitalization, his hypotensive episodes became worse most likely secondary to sepsis and he required higher and higher doses of leveophed to maintain pressures. at some point, the levophed was not able to support his blood pressure and max dose milrinone was unable to generate sufficient forward flow to maintain tissue perfusion. . c). rhythm: the patient had been tachycardic to 140-160s since admission but was started on amiodarone on and had shown signs of better nodal control. the patient only had occasional episodes of tachycardia after wards. he was therefore continued on amiodarone at 100mg once daily dose (lower than normal dose due to history of significant bradycardia with full dose amiodarone). the patient was continued to be observed on telemetry as well during his hospitalization. . . 2) pulmonary: a). pulmonary infiltrates/boop: given his initial cxr with bilateral patchy infiltrates, mr. was started on levoquin for coverage of atypicals and cap organisms. id was consulted. he was placed on isolation out of concern for possible tb, and bactrim was added pending rule out pcp. cd4>200 and negative induced sputum x2, bactrim was discontinued. vancomycin was added for gram positive coverage. a ct chest was eventually performed to further characterize his pulmonary lesions, and revealed bilateral conglomerated central peri-bronchovascular opacity with air bronchograms as well as multiple peripheral scattered poorly defined nodular opacities and foci of ground-glass opacity and lymphadenopathy. the differential diagnosis included atypical infection, cryptogenic organizing pneumonia, atypical vasculitis, sarcoidosis, and neoplastic processes such as kaposi sarcoma and lymphoma. an extensive non-invasive work-up including induced sputum for pcp, , legionella, as well as blood cultures, sputum cultures, cryptococcal antigen, chlamydia psitacci, histoplasmosis, coccidioidomycosis, chlamydia pneumonia, bartonella titers, was non-revealing. he also did not respond to broad-spectrum antibiotics. . pulmonary was consulted, along with id and a tissue diagnosis was recommended. a vats was felt to be the best diagnostic procedure. however, thoracic surgery declined vats given the patient's tenuous respiratory and cardiac status. attempt was made to perform a bronchoscopy with biopsy on but was aborted given the patient's tenuous hemodynamics. the yield of such a procedure was also anticipated to be low, and the risk/benefit ratio of elective intubation was not favorable. given his generalized lymphadenopahy, he underwent a right axillary lymph node biopsy on . initial pathology reports were suggestive of an atypical tumor. however, further evaluation was felt consistent with hiv adenopathy with non-specific histiocytic proliferation, and the biopsy turned out to be non-diagnostic. special stains and immunophenotyping were also unrevealing. . given the above, mr. was started on empiric steroid and antifungal therapy on . heme was also consulted, who felt that his pulmonary process was unlikely to be lymphoma. in the differential were ks, cop (boop), lymphoma (unlikely), infection (unlikely). on , a galactomannan antigen came back positive at 0.79 (drawn on ). given this positive result, caspofungin was changed to voriconazole, and steroids were d/c'd. a repeat galactomannan was sent on . the patient was on zosyn at the time of the first sample, which can cause false positive results. the repeat galactomannan eventually came back negative. given this negative result as well as lack of clinical and radiographic improvement, antifungal therapy was discontinued after completion of a 7-day course. . a repeat chest ct was performed on , which revealed stable pulmonary infiltrates. after discussion with pulmonary and id services, empiric steroid therapy was reinitiated on . a repeat ct chest performed on showed slight radiographic improvement, and methylprednisolone was changed to prednisone 60 mg po qd. he will need at least 6 months of therapy for presumed boop (cop). of note, bactrim prophylaxis was also initiated given repeat cd4 186 and steroid therapy. . the patient was treated empirically for boop on prednisone which has been tapered to 50 mg from 60 mg, with a slow taper over 6 months. a repeat ct scan after at least a month of steroids showed minimal improvement. he continued to have a rapid respiratory rate but expressed his wish to be intubated if needed. pulmonary no longer followed the patient and we continued steroids and bactrim prophylaxis. furthermore, we discussed the patient with id who recommended no additional hiv prophylaxis. . b). respiratory failure: this is most likely secondary to volume overload from end stage heart failure. the patient was intubated for severe respiratory distress with tachypnea to 60s, sao2 of 80% on nrb and abg of 7.4/34/43 on nrb. the patient remained tachypneic and was overbreathing the vent, possibly due to the sepsis or other metabolic derangement. the sedation was increased sequentially in attempts to better control his respiratory status. he was unable to be extubated prior to expiration. . . 3) id: please see above for work-up of pulmonary infiltrates. as mentioned above, mr. was started on levaquin on admission for coverage of cap and atypicals. vancomycin was eventually added for improved gram positive coverage, and he completed a 7-day course of both antibiotics. . on , he became hypotensive and developed a recurrent fever to 102.5. vancomycin and levofloxacin were restarted, and zosyn was added to broaden gn coverage. he continued to spike fever despite broad spectrum antibiotic coverage. an extensive infectious work-up, including induced sputum for pcp, , legionella, as well as blood cultures, sputum cultures, cryptococcal antigen, chlamydia psitacci, histoplasmosis, coccidioidomycosis, chlamydia pneumonia, bartonella titers, was non-revealing. he had a positive femoral catheter tip culture on positive for enteroccus, felt a likely contaminant. all antibiotics were d/c'd on . stool cultures were positive for c. diff on , and flagyl was started. oral vancomycin was eventually added on given ongoing diarrhea. vancomycin was d/c'd on and flagyl was d/c'd on . he has been afebrile since . . a peg tube was placed on , complicated by significant pneumoperitoneum. hence, broad spectrum antibiotherapy was reinitiated with vancomycin, levofloxacin and flagyl. the patient completed this course of antibiotics without difficulty and remained symptom free until when his white count began to rise. this was felt to be no surprise as the nursing staff reported seeing the patient self-contaminate himself on many occasions by touching his stool and then touching his nose and mouth with the same hand. on , the patient's white count rose to 17 and although he had not yet spiked, he was pancultured and placed on vanco/levo/flagyl empirically for a day course without ever manifesting any sx, the vanc/levo/falgyl course was completed. . the patient complained of significant hoarseness and dysphaga in his throat. he was initially treated symptomatically with viscous lidocaine and improved oral hygiene. in addition, he was started on fluconazole for treatment of oral thrush which was thought to be the causative organism. cmv viral load in was negative, however repeat viral load on was 6200. id was consulted regarding treatment for cmv esophagitis, however they did not recommend treatment without a tissue diagnosis given the multiple toxicities of gancyclovir. a tissue diagnosis could not be obtained due to the fragile nature of the patient's cardiopulmonary status which may have led to earlier respiratory failure and intubation. . the pt spiked a temperature to 101 again on (3days post intubation) at which point he was started on vancomycine for presumed mrsa vap. gram positive cocci were found in the sputum gram stain. on day 4 of intubation, the patient spiked a temperture to 104 and ultimately reuquired a cooling blanket and around the clock tylenol to defervese. the patient was started on levofloxacin and flagyl in addition to the vancomycin. he subsequently dropped his pressures requiring inc. doses of levophed suggesting he was in severe sepsis. a repeat sputum gram stain showed gram postivie cocci as well as gram negative rods suggesting the causative organism were most likely mrsa and pseudomonas. antibiotics were continued, however he expired from overwhelming sepsis and multi organ failure refractory to two max dose pressors. . during the course of his admission, the patient was found to have a low cd4 count and the decision regarding re-starting hiv med was deferred from id to pcp . who has been following his hiv care. ultimately his hiv meds were not re-started due to the signfiicant side effects of the medication given the patient's many complications and acutely ill state. . . 3) neuro: on , in the setting of recent hypotension and high fever, mr. had a seizure and required intubation for airway protection. neurology was consulted. ct with and without contrast showed no bleed/mass, electrolytes were essentially unchanged, and lp was without infection (although it was remarkable for an elevated total protein). eeg was consistent with diffuse encephalopathy, possibly medication-related. given negative work-up, his seizure was felt most likely in the setting of fever. per neurology, he was started on dilantin for seizure prophylaxis. the latter was eventually changed to keppra in the setting of elevated lft's. he has had no recurrence of his seizure, but has been intermittently confused with poor short-term memory. the possibility of a thalamic stroke was raised by neurology, but he subsequently improved and further work-up was not pursued. . given his ongoing tachypnea and - breathing despite radiographic improvement and fair chf control, the possibility of a central process was again raised. attempt was made to obtain a head mri on which was aborted given patient agitation and inability to lay still. . he remained on keppra 1gm po bid which was discontinued early in as it was felt that this medication was not necessary to prevent further seizures. this was discussed and agreed with by neuro. . . 4) renal: pt developed atn (muddy brown casts in urine) most likely secondary to transient ischemic insult from hypotension. duration of oliguria was very short < 24hours followed by extensiv diuresis (post atn diuresis) despite cessation of diuretics. this was complicated by frequent episodes of metabolic alkalosis: given his significant diuresis as well as the inc. bicarb, the patient was thought to be in contraction alkalosis. as well as fluid over load. these fluid balances were managed with differing levels of diuretics including lasix bolus to gtt as well as acetazolamide, natrecor and renal dosed dopamine gtt. his fluid balances remaiend difficult to manage throughout his stay. in addition, the patient had frequent electrolyte imbalances which were also difficult to manage due to their wide fluctuations. this ranged from signficnt hyponatremia to hyperkalemia as well as hyperkalemia which were all managed clinically. . . 5) gi: a). elevated lft's: on , mr. was noted to have elevated lft's. interestingly, he had elevated alp + ggt>>>> ast and alt. peak alp 1457, ast 271 and alt 128 on with normal bilirubin. a ruq ultrasound was performed on which revealed a mildly distended sludge containing gallbladder with a small amount of pericholecystic fluid and focal wall edema. given theses results, a hida scan was performed, which was normal. hepatology was consulted on with an impression of drug-induced liver disease versus infiltrative process (infection or lymphoma), although the latter was felt unlikely. dilantin was felt to be the possible culprit, and was weaned to off. he was transitioned to keppra for seizure prophylaxis, with parallel improvement in his lft's. however, as kepra affects lfts, this was discontinued without further issues. his lfts continued to trend down and were felt to be elevated secondary to hepatic congestion. . b). pancreatitis: the patient developed acute ruq pain with elevated amylase and lipase. the ruq us showed sludge in cbd suggesting possible pancreatitis due to sludge from chronic tpn. pt was placed on bowel rest and tg were taken out of tpn. although ercp or mrcp would have been ideal to ascertain and possibly treat the ongoing gi process, gi believed he would most likely not tolerate either procedure. therefore a decision was made in conjunction with the gi team to persue a conservative management as above. the amylase and lipase did decrease slowly almost normalized prior to expiration. . . 6) apical thrombus: the patient has a large left ventricular apical thrombus secondary to poor lv function. as a result, he was bridged to coumadin. however, during the week of , the patient's inr rose suddenly to as high as 9.5 and he developed spontaneous epistaxis that required 4 blood transfusions and 4 units of ffp. ent was asked to evaluate the patient and placed nasal packings to prevent further epistaxis. they placed the patient empirically on cefazolin while the packing remains in place. his coumadin was held in the setting of these nosebleeds. once the packing were removed and the patient was able to maintain appropriate hct, he was started on loevenox 30mg for two weeks followed by heparin gtt for treatment o his apical thrombus. . . 7) fen: poor po intake in the setting of tachypnea and critical illness. he refused ng tube and dob hoff placement, and was started on tpn on . he finally underwent peg tube placement on at the bedside with gi and anesthesia present. post-procedure, incidental note was made of significant abdominal free air on ct chest. he also complained of ongoing abdominal pain. an erect cxr revealed significant free air, and surgery was consulted. a gastrograffin ct abdomen was performed on which showed no extravasation of contrast indicating a leak. . the peg tube was used initially with high residuals and increased abdominal pain. repeat films showed persistent air in the peritoneum a month after the peg placement which was felt not to be unusual. it was felt that by using the peg, the patient's abdominal pain was significantly worse than if he received tpn through a picc. therefore, we have continued to provide him tpn nutrition and disontinued the peg tube. the patient was encouraged to continue on a fluid-restricted, brat-like diet. however the patient was known to eat sardines and chinese food which exacerbated his congestive heart failure and precipitated a sharp decline in his function and caused increased abdominal pain. multiple discussions regarding moving the peg tube to pej tubes were undertaken during his hospital course, however neither gi, ir, or ip was willing to perform the procedure given the patient's significant comorbidities and high risk of intubation. the patient was continued on tpn until his expiration. . . 8) code status: the patient has significant heart disease with severe lv dysfunction (ef of 10%). as such, he was unable to create any forward flow without max dose milrinone and additional pressure support with levophed. as per our transplant service (and two other independent cardiologists from outside institutions), he was not a candidate for heart transplant or lvad secondary to pulmonary hypertension and significant rhf. in addition, he has had significant complications including boop, lv thrombus formation with significant epistaxis secondary to supratherapeutic inr, worsening immunosuppression from hiv, with cmv infection and atn. throughout his hospital course, we had multiple discussions with the family regarding goals of care. over the last several days of his hospitalization, he developed severe sepsis from what appears to be gpc and gnr of unclear origin. given his underlying heart condition and all of these complications, his prognosis was poor. during the last days of his hospitalizations we had multiple discussions with the hcp, the family, ethics service as well as palliative care service daily to address goals of care. the hcp communicated to the team her desires to stop any additional treatments. she was interested in taking treatment regimens away with the understanding that we will not re-start them. on the last day of his hospitalization, he was unable to maintain pressures despite max dose milrinone and levophed and he was having high fevers despite multiple antibiotics. given the rapid and what appeared to be fatal progression of his many illness, the hcp made the patient dnr and dni. the patient expired later that afternoon. medications on admission: none. discharge medications: none. discharge disposition: extended care discharge diagnosis: pneumonia sepsis. cardiomyopathy with congestive heart failure.

allergies: patient recorded as having no known allergies to drugs attending: chief complaint: severe chest and back pain with fever and leukocytosis major surgical or invasive procedure: - cardiac catheterization. placement of iabp - cabgx3 (left internal mammary artery graft to the left anterior descending and reversed saphenous vein graft to the marginal branch and the posterior descending branch. - placement of an iabp - exploratory laparotomy history of present illness: this is a 59 yo male with a past medical history significant for diabetes, hypertension, question of sarcoidosis who presented to the emergency department with fever, chills, and back pain. patient states that he has had the back pain for months but now the pain is more localized to his midline. the patient states that he has had diarrhea for the last couple of weeks but in combination with constipation. pt denies any dyspnea, diaphoresis, melena, hematuria, dysuria. in emergency department, mr. was febrile to 102.9. he was initially worked up for aortic dissection and had a ct of the chest and abdomen. an ekg was done after he returned from ct and he was found to have st elevations, .5-1mm in i, avl and 2 mm in v2. he was urgently taken to the cath lab where he was found to have a 90% ostial lesion of the left anterior descending artery, 50% stenosed circumflex artery and an 80% stenosed right coronary artery. hemodynamics showed a cardiac output of 5.76, an index of 2.44 and a sytemic vascular resistance (svr) of 444. no intervention was made as patient's left anterior descending artery lesion was near the circumflex and there was concern for blocking left coronary ciculation as patient was left side dominant. an intra-aortic balloon pump was placed and mr. was transferred to the floor for stabilization with antibiotics for infection, and potential evaluation for surgical revascualrization when stable. upon leaving the cath lab, he became hypotensive. he was started on low dose dopamine but then he became tachycardic so pt was switched to neo-synephrine with good relief. upon arriving to the floor the patient had a white cell count of 25. he was started on empiric coverage of vanomycin, levofloxacim and flagyl. the white cell began trending up from 23.4 on admission -> 26.5 -> 36.8 -> 46.1. later linezolid was added when it was found that he had a history of methicillin resistent staph aurea (mrsa) and vancomycin resistent enterococcus (vre) from past wound infections. pt on the floor trended upwards from 259 -> -> 3352. cardiology fellow called about possibility of taking patient to cath lab in light of continued ischemia. it was deemed that due to pt anatomy, he was not a candidate for peructaneous intervention. when mr. initially came to the floor his blood gas (abg) was 7.34/28/94 with a lactate of 1.4. he was found to have a non-anion gap metabolic acidosis. he was on a nonrebreather and then transitioned to cpap. a 3am gas showed 7.25/47/131 w/ lactate of 2.1. he seemed to be tiring and anesthesia was called to intubate mr. . chest x-ray showed bilateral patchy infiltrate. he was transitioned to low volume to mimize barotrauma for suspected acute respiratory distress syndrome. other issues included a rising creatinine of 2.3 (baseline 1.5-1.8)on and a question of vertebral osteomyelitis. id consult was obtained and the abx recommendations were followed. he also developed hyperkalemia and was seen by renal service for arf. pt. also had a small gi bleed with ngt coffee grounds emesis on heparin. iabp was removed and treatment continued for lle cellulitis. he also continued lasix duresis with periodic neosynephrine support. he was extubated on . referred to dr. of ct surgery. he recommended infectious issues be competely resolved before cabg and a myocardial viability study. patient contnued to have episodes of diarrhea. he continued his courses of vanco and zosyn.cabg was scheduled but then postponed for a rising creatinine again (2.2). dr. reviewed the high risk status of his surgery with the patient (10-15% mortality). cabg performed on by dr. with a lima to lad, svg to om and svg to pda. he was transferred to the csru on epinephrine, levophed, milrinone and insulin drips.he was extubated on . pressor wean was begun and epinephrine and levophed were off later in the day. pt. remained on lidocaine, milrinone, and neosynephrine drips. chest tubes were removed. creatinine was 2.9 on . he had an episode of vt and had cardioversion on . he was also transfused and started on a natrecor drip. swan was exchanged to a triple lumen catheter on . ep was consulted for recurrent vt. amiodarone drip was started. he also had episodes of rapid afib. on , he had a vfib arrest and was shocked x 4. cath was considered but his creatinine was at 3.0 at the time and cardiology felt it best to monitor him closely. ischemia was not suspected given the large area of his anterolateral infarction.the following day it was 3.2. he continued to receive sq heparin for his mobility status. he remained on amio, natrecor, and lidocaine drips and continued with zosyn. he was diuresed with lasix drip for volume overload. on the afternoon of , the pt. was reintubated for respiratory distress. he went to the cath lab for iabp and swan placement. heparin was switched to iv dosing. milrinone and neo drips were restarted. on , a quinton cath was placed in the left femoral vein to allow for the institution of cvvhd. he remained sedated with propofol. tee was performed on which revealed severely depressed lv function with ef 20-25%.a small pericardial effusion was noted and there were multiple wall motion abnormalities including anterolateral akinesis. on , he had a run of afib, torsades and a 23 beat run of vt with poor perfusion and severe hypotension. he was cardioverted and then paced. he had 4+ ble edema. right dp pulse was not dopplerable at this time, and toes were cyanotic, but warm. iabp was pulled at 4:30am by cardiology for the compromised circulation in that leg. he remained somewhat hypotensive at this time (sbp 70-80's). vascular surgery was called when the pulse did not return in this foot. he continued to be severely acidotic with base excess of minus 4 to minus 16. there was slight improvement in his doppler signal, but ischemia with ?thrombus was considered. platelet count was 69k at that time with an inr of 2.3. at this time, there was concern for his bowel circulation given his acidosis that was not responding to therapy. the patient remained critically ill and ischemic mesentery was suspected by the transplant service. mr. was seen and evaluated by dr. of general surgery. he had requested correction of the coagulopathy and additional lfts in preparation for emergency exploratory laparotomy. the patient was taken to the or on the morning of and had an emergency lap by dr. . during the attempted bowel resection for mesenteric ischemia, the patient suffered vtach and a vfib arrest that did not respond to multiple shocks, cpr, and acls protocol meds. he was pronounced expired at 10:24 am by dr. of transplant surgery. past medical history: charcot foot -

to the medical center on for further management of his chest pain. he was taken to the cardiac catheterization lab where he was found to have severe three vessels coronary disease. as his left anterior descending artery was markedly calcified with a short left main, intervention was declined given the risk of jailing the circumflex artery which was his dominant vessel. an intra-aortic balloon pump was placed. heparin, integrillin and aspirin were started for anticoagulation. mr. became hypotensive after his catheterization and pressors were started. he subsequently became acidotic and required intubation in the cardiac care unit. given his leukocytosis, sepsis was suspected and vancomycin, flagyl and linezolid were started. given his charcot foot, the podiatry service was consulted. medications on admission: kcl furosemide 80 po bid allopurinol 100 mg po daily diovan hct 160/25 po daily atenolol 50 mg po bid folic acid 1 mg po qd norvasc 10 mg po qd lipitor 40 po qd sl

history of present illness: mr. is a 73-year-old male with a past medical history significant for prostate cancer (status post radical prostatectomy in ), who was in in the middle of when during a daily walk he began having chest pain associated with dry heaves. this pain was relieved by rest. he reported never having experienced this type of pain before and denied any associated shortness of breath. he returned to where he saw his primary care physician who sent him for a stress test, which was done at the . this revealed septal ischemia with st segment changes on electrocardiogram. the patient underwent cardiac catheterization on which showed severe 3-vessel coronary artery disease. he denies dysuria, fevers, chills, nausea, vomiting, renal problems, or claudication. the patient was found not to have had a myocardial infarction by enzymes at . he was found to have mild chronic renal insufficiency with a baseline creatinine of 1.5. past medical history: 1. prostate cancer. 2. hypercholesterolemia. 3. mild chronic renal insufficiency. past surgical history: 1. radical prostatectomy in . 2. open reduction/internal fixation of the right ankle. medications on admission: medications on admission included . allergies: no known drug allergies. social history: mr. had a prior history of tobacco use; approximately 10 pack years, which he had quit approximately 10 years ago. he states that he has one alcoholic drink per night. family history: family history was noncontributory. physical examination on presentation: the initial physical examination revealed mr. was found to have a temperature of 98.3 degrees fahrenheit, heart rate was 62 (in sinus rhythm), and blood pressure was 107/50, with an oxygen saturation of 90% on room air. in general, he was in no acute distress. on cardiovascular examination he was found to have a regular rate and rhythm. normal first heart sound and second heart sound. no murmurs, rubs, or gallops. his lungs were clear to auscultation bilaterally. his abdomen was soft, nontender, and nondistended, with a well-healed prostatectomy scar. his extremities showed a small amount of edema around the right ankle. otherwise, they were warm, dry, and well perfused. his pulse examination showed 2+ palpable femoral, popliteal, dorsalis pedis, and posterior tibialis pulses bilaterally. pertinent laboratory values on presentation: laboratories on admission revealed his complete blood count was significant for a white blood cell count of 6.1 and hematocrit was 35.9. chemistry-7 showed sodium was 137, potassium was 3.8, chloride was 106, bicarbonate was 23, blood urea nitrogen was 20, creatinine was 1.3, and blood glucose was 152. radiology/imaging: the patient had an electrocardiogram from the which showed flipped t waves in leads iii, avr, and v1. there were no signs of acute ischemia by electrocardiogram. the patient also had a carotid ultrasound which showed no evidence of carotid artery plaques. a chest x-ray was done which was clear and showed no abnormalities. hospital course: mr. was admitted to the cardiothoracic surgical intensive care unit on where he was started on lopressor, aspirin, and a heparin drip. the patient did well during the subsequent two days with no issues. on , the patient was taken to the operating room where he underwent a coronary artery bypass graft times four under general endotracheal intubation. please refer to the dictated operative note for full details of this procedure. in summary, the patient had a left internal mammary artery to the left anterior descending artery graft as well as saphenous vein grafts to the posterior descending artery and obtuse marginal arteries. the patient tolerated the procedure well, and following surgery was transferred from the operating room to the cardiothoracic intensive care unit. at this time, he was being a-paced at a rate of 74 beats per minute and came to the intensive care unit on a neo-synephrine drip as well as a propofol drip. he did well overnight with neo-synephrine being titrated to maintain a systolic blood pressure of greater than 140. he required continued use of propofol for sedation, but did appropriately follow commands. on postoperative day one, he did require 4 liters of lactated ringer's, 500 cc of hespan as well as 2 units of packed red blood cells for labile blood pressures. he was continued on a neo-synephrine drip at that time. he was extubated later on postoperative day one which he tolerated without incident. at this time, he continued to have moderate amounts of serosanguineous drainage from his chest tubes as well as an air leak. he was able to maintain his blood pressure and heart rate without being paced, and a slow wean of his neo-synephrine drip was begun. later on postoperative day two, mr. went into a rate atrial fibrillation with a heart rate up into the 130s. he was given intravenous lopressor as well as intravenous magnesium and amiodarone. his neo-synephrine drip, which had been weaned off, was subsequently restarted. at this time, he was rate controlled with a heart rate in the low 100s and in atrial fibrillation. however, shortly thereafter, he converted back into a normal sinus rhythm with a heart rate in the 70s, and he remained there throughout the rest of the shift. he did require a small amount of neo-synephrine to maintain his systolic blood pressure above 100. it was noted early on postoperative day three that he no longer had an air leak from his chest tubes. later on postoperative day three, the patient's arterial line and chest tubes were removed. he was out of bed to the chair for the first time, and he subsequently ambulated with assistance. he remained in a normal sinus rhythm throughout that day. on postoperative day four, the patient was deemed ready and stable for transfer to the regular floor. the patient continued to do quite well after arrival to the floor. he remained in almost sinus rhythm with no further episodes of ectopy. he did quite well working with physical therapy, ambulating multiple times a day with assistance. on postoperative day number ten, it was felt that the patient was stable and ready for discharge from the hospital. he was doing extremely well from a cardiopulmonary standpoint. it was, however, felt in conjunction with physical therapy, that the patient would benefit from and require a short stay at a rehabilitation facility to help further build increased strength and mobility. at the time of discharge, he was afebrile with a heart rate of 80, in sinus rhythm, and a blood pressure of 90/60, with a room air oxygen saturation of 92%. he was alert and oriented to person, place, and time. he moved all extremities and followed commands. his heart showed a regular rate and rhythm with normal s1, s2, and no murmurs. his sternum was stable, and his sternal incision was healing nicely with no erythema or drainage. his lungs were clear to auscultation bilaterally. his abdomen was soft, nontender, nondistended, with no hepatosplenomegaly or other palpable masses. he continued to have approximately 1+ lower extremity and pedal edema, for which he was continuing to be diuresed. discharge medications: 1. lopressor 12.5 mg b.i.d. 2. lasix 20 mg b.i.d. times ten days. 3. potassium chloride 20 meq b.i.d. for ten more

history of present illness: the patient is a 73-year-old male who underwent cardiac consultation secondary to a positive exercise tolerance test. the patient denied any exertional chest discomfort or dyspnea and also any palpitations. the patient had an exercise treadmill test and a near syncopal episode after finishing his exercise treadmill test but recovered quickly. a recent abnormal echocardiogram was consistent with a dilated left ventricle with moderate aortic insufficiency and a suggestion of inferior hypokinesis. a thallium test demonstrated a fixed inferolateral defect. the patient had a cardiac catheterization performed at hospital on . this revealed a short left main coronary with mild-to-moderate plaque in the mid left anterior descending artery, an ejection fraction of 71%, with inferobasal hypokinesis. the patient now presents for revascularization as well as valve repair. past medical history: 1. kidney stones. 2. benign prostatic hypertrophy. medications on admission: doxazosin and methylate. allergies: allergy to penicillin. physical examination on presentation: in general, the patient was an elderly male in no acute distress. vital signs were stable and afebrile. head, eyes, ears, nose, and throat examination revealed normocephalic and atraumatic. extraocular movements were intact. pupils were equal, round, and reactive to light. sclerae were anicteric. the throat was clear. the neck was supple, midline. no bruits. no jugular venous distention. no masses or lymphadenopathy. the chest was clear to auscultation bilaterally. heart was regular in rate and rhythm with a to 3/6 systolic ejection murmur. the abdomen was soft, nontender, and nondistended. no masses or organomegaly. extremities were warm and well perfused. neurologically, alert and oriented times three. no gross motor or sensory deficits were noted. pertinent laboratory values on presentation: preoperative laboratory studies performed on revealed complete blood count with white blood cell count of 8.4, hemoglobin was 13.4, hematocrit was 40, and platelets were 201. prothrombin time was 13, inr was 1.1, partial thromboplastin time was 35.7. chemistries revealed sodium was 142, potassium was 4.1, chloride was 103, bicarbonate was 26, blood urea nitrogen was 98, creatinine was 1, and blood glucose was 78. liver function tests revealed alt was 13, ast was 14, alkaline phosphatase was 118, total bilirubin was 0.9. type and screen was performed on . radiology/imaging: a preoperative chest x-ray on showed borderline cardiomegaly but no evidence of acute cardiopulmonary process. hospital course: the patient was admitted for coronary artery bypass grafting times three with a left internal mammary artery to left anterior descending artery, saphenous vein graft to obtuse marginal, and saphenous vein graft to posterior descending artery. the atrial valve was replaced with a 27-mm pericardial valve. the patient tolerated the procedure without complications. in the postoperative period, the patient was transferred to the intensive care unit for closer monitoring. the patient was extubated without incident on postoperative day zero. on postoperative day one, the patient was on a neo-synephrine drip at 0.75, and this was weaned as tolerated. the patient did well without any remarkable events and was transferred to the floor on postoperative day two. the patient was maintained on telemetry and shown to have a few premature ventricular contraction, but no significant arrhythmia. on postoperative day three, the patient's chest tubes were discontinued. again, the patient had some isolated premature ventricular contractions, but no other significant arrhythmia. the patient did seem to have a change in mental status on postoperative day four with the patient somewhat delirious and confused. he was occasionally violent and threatened the nursing staff. the patient was placed in restraints to prevent interference with therapy as well as accidental injury to the staff. the patient's wife came in the early hours of the morning, and this seemed to have a calming effect and helped to reorient the patient. subsequently to this, the patient had no episodes of confusion. however, he did have an acute rise in his creatinine on postoperative day six from a range of 0.9 to 1.2 to a level of 4. a foley was replaced in order to assess urine output, and renal consultation was done. the patient also had loose stools during this time, and clostridium difficile cultures were sent. the patient was transfused one unit of packed red blood cells on postoperative day six. the renal service saw the patient on postoperative day seven and felt the patient's acute renal failure was most likely of postrenal etiology; especially given his history of severe benign prostatic hypertrophy. replacement of the foley catheter seemed to aid the patient's renal function. an ultrasound did show moderate-to-severe right hydronephrosis, as well as a minor left-sided hydronephrosis, and an enlarged prostate. the nephrology service recommended keeping the foley in place in order to allow voiding and accurate urine output measurements. the patient's creatinine decreased immediately subsequent to this. the patient was placed on flagyl for empiric clostridium difficile infection. the patient did have some sinus tachycardia on postoperative day eight. he later had an episode of rapid atrial fibrillation in the morning of postoperative day nine. the patient responded to 10 mg of intravenous lopressor and 150-mg bolus of amiodarone. concern for an embolus at this point prompted the decision to begin the patient on anticoagulation. a heparin drip was begun, and coumadin therapy was started as well. for the remainder of his postoperative stay, the patient had an unremarkable course and was awaiting a therapeutic anticoagulation. the patient was discharged on postoperative day twelve, tolerating a regular diet, and adequate pain control on oral pain medications, with a inr of 1.8. although the patient's inr was not therapeutic, it was felt that since his inr had been on the rise with a daily dosage of 5 mg of coumadin that he could be released. this was done at the patient's urging, as he was anxious to get home as well as his family; particularly in the light of his mother-in-law's passing on the day of discharge. it was reinforced to the patient that his inr was not yet therapeutic and that close followup would be necessary. physical examination on discharge: physical examination on discharge revealed vital signs were stable, afebrile. the patient was making good urine output. the chest was clear to auscultation bilaterally. cardiovascular examination revealed a regular rate and rhythm without murmurs, rubs, or gallops. the surgical incision was clean, dry, and intact without drainage. the abdomen was soft, nontender, and nondistended. the extremities were warm and not cyanotic. there was 1+ pitting edema in the lower extremities bilaterally. neurologic examination was intact. pertinent laboratory values on discharge: laboratories on discharge revealed complete blood count with a white blood cell count of 13.3, hematocrit was 25.2, and platelets were 340. prothrombin time was 16.3, inr was 1.8, and partial thromboplastin time was 37.9. chemistry panel revealed sodium was 142, potassium was 4, chloride was 109, bicarbonate was 23, blood urea nitrogen was 31, creatinine was 2, and blood glucose was 87. magnesium was 1.9. the patient had two negative clostridium difficile cultures, and flagyl was discontinued. medications on discharge: 1. colace 100 mg p.o. b.i.d. 2. aspirin 325 mg p.o. q.d. 3. lopressor 50 mg p.o. t.i.d. 4. coumadin 5 mg p.o. q.d. 5. amiodarone 400 mg p.o. b.i.d. 6. iron sulfate 325 mg p.o. q.d. 7. terazosin 4 mg p.o. q.h.s. 8. percocet 5/325 one to two tablets p.o. q.4h. as needed. 9. vitamin c 500 mg p.o. b.i.d. 10. ibuprofen 400 mg p.o. q.4-6h. as needed. 11. tylenol p.o. as needed. 12. milk of magnesia p.o. as needed. condition at discharge: condition on discharge was good. discharge status: discharge status was to home with . discharge diet: diet is cardiac. die instructions/followup: 1. the patient must have close anticoagulation followup, and this was to be done through services. 2. the patient was to follow up with his urologist on wednesday and go home with a leg bag to his foley catheter. 3. the patient should follow up in cardiology within one to two weeks for adjustment of cardiac medications as well as possible diuresis. 4. the patient should follow up with dr. in four weeks' time. 5. of note, the patient was not sent home on lasix;

history of present illness: this is a 72-year-old male with a history of alcohol dependence, hepatitis c, depression, and cocaine use, who presents with chest pain, nonradiating, substernal in location with associated shortness of breath, nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea for the past 90 minutes in the setting of recent cocaine use. patient also noted complaints of generalized headache worsening over the day increasing to severity on presentation. patient also noted tarry stools for the past several days, inability to stand, difficulty walking, and dizziness. denied fevers, chills. patient became obtundent in the emergency department after benzodiazepine administration. he was restrained due to becoming combative with ed staff. in the emergency department, he had a head ct, lumbar puncture, tox screen, and heart rate controlled with labetalol. he required restraint and was given ativan for agitation control. past medical history: 1. alcohol dependence with multiple admissions at detox centers greater than 10 times. 2. alcoholic hepatitis. 3. hepatitis c. 4. depression. 5. back pain. 6. cocaine abuse. 7. status post appendectomy. 8. right inguinal hernia repair. 9. left hip fracture. 10. left rotator cuff tear. 11. lumbar laminectomy in . allergies: no known drug allergies. medications: none currently. social history: long history of substance abuse including alcohol and cocaine. patient has a girlfriend. physical exam: temperature 98.4, blood pressure 118/68, heart rate 94, respiratory rate 16, and 100% on room air. general: asleep, nonresponsive to voice in 4-point restraints, thin, elderly male appearing stated age. heent: extraocular muscles are intact. pupils are equal, round, and reactive to light. neck is supple, no lymphadenopathy. heart: regular rate and rhythm, normal s1, s2. lungs: clear anteriorly. abdomen: positive bowel sounds, nontender, and nondistended. positive hepatomegaly. extremities: no cyanosis, clubbing, or edema. neurologic: restrained, nonresponsive secondary to sedation. laboratory data on admission: white count 13.8, hematocrit 36.2, platelet count of 138. electrolytes: sodium 142, potassium 5.3, chloride 108, bicarbonate 24, bun 68, creatinine 1.1, glucose of 152. urinalysis negative. tox screen positive for cocaine. ct of the head: no intracranial hemorrhage. cerebrospinal fluid: 0 white blood cells, 0 red blood cells, protein 31, glucose 87. gram stain: 1+ polys. ekg: right bundle branch block, heart rate 93. hospital course: 1. cardiovascular: patient has now known cad, but did have a troponin leak and elevated ck-mb on admission in the setting of recent cocaine use. his cardiac enzymes did trend downward during initial hospital stay. was not given heparin given evidence of an upper gi bleed. he had no significant ekg changes. he was initially treated with labetalol for heart rate and blood pressure control, but was changed to lopressor on and then back again to labetalol on out of concerns for recurrent cocaine use. no aspirin was given, given the patient's recent history of gi bleed. aside from the initial presentation of chest pain, the patient had no further recurrence of chest pain or other symptoms to suggest ischemia. 2. respiratory: patient developed respiratory distress on hospital day two. he was discovered to have tachypnea and abgs done at that time showed hypercarbic respiratory failure. patient was assessed by the intensive care unit and intubated shortly after. patient had been sedated with standing ativan and aspiration was suspected. patient was started on a course of clindamycin and levaquin for two days, but had no evidence of pneumonia on serial chest x-rays. patient remained intubated until . he initially required face tent for adequate oxygenation, but did trend down to room air by the time of discharge requiring intermittent albuterol/atrovent nebulizers prn. the reason for the respiratory failure was suspected to be aspiration pneumonitis given the clinical scenario and lack of infiltrates on his chest x-ray. 3. substance abuse: the patient had cocaine intoxication on presentation and has a long history of alcohol dependence. social work consultation was obtained late in his hospital course when the patient's mental status had improved. he will require outpatient management of this chronic issue. patient was initially managed for withdrawal symptoms using the ciwa protocol, however, due to mental status issues, and then respiratory decompensation due to aspiration, he was weaned off of benzodiazepines, which were discontinued on . 4. mental status changes: patient was unresponsive on admission secondary to substance use and benzodiazepine administration in the emergency department. patient was ruled out for cva by head ct and was ruled out for meningitis by lumbar puncture in the emergency department. his mental status improved each day during his hospital stay as benzodiazepines were weaned. he was started on zyprexa for management of delirium. by the time of discharge, the patient's mental status had markedly improved and he was alert and oriented x3. 5. infectious disease: patient did have elevated white blood cell count and fever in the setting of aspiration, both did trend down to normal during his hospital stay. chest x-ray done on showed no evidence of pneumonia. urinalysis was negative as well as lumbar puncture. patient was ruled out for endocarditis as a new murmur was appreciated on examination during his micu stay. a transthoracic echocardiogram was negative for endocarditis and blood cultures were unrevealing. patient was noted to have h. pylori infection and was started on course of amoxicillin, clarithromycin, and proton-pump inhibitor, and will need to complete a two-week course for treatment. this was initiated on . patient was afebrile and stable at the time of discharge without white blood cell count elevation. 6. gastrointestinal: patient had guaiac-positive stool with a history of melena. on presentation, he did have a 10-point hematocrit drop in the first 24 hours of his hospital stay. he did receive 2 units of packed red blood cells with good response. he was evaluated by the gi service, who did an egd that showed two gastric ulcers that were not actively bleeding and no evidence of varices. his hematocrit did remain stable for the remainder of the hospital stay. he was continued on his proton-pump inhibitor. 7. in regard to his cirrhosis that was documented from abdominal ultrasound , the patient does have evidence of chronic lft elevation, but no coagulopathy. he did have ongoing transaminitis and therefore a right upper quadrant ultrasound was obtained on . patient was treated initially with lactulose during his hospital course, which was discontinued due to persistent diarrhea. 8. fluids, electrolytes, and nutrition: patient was given thiamine, folate, and multivitamin due to his history of alcohol abuse and poor nutrition. his electrolytes were monitored closely. he did have transient hypernatremia, which did resolve with iv fluid administration. he was evaluated by the speech and swallow service on , who cleared him for soft solids and thin liquids. his poor swallow was likely secondary to intubation. discharge condition: afebrile, hemodynamically stable, alert and oriented times three, and improved respiratory status. discharge status: to rehabilitation. discharge diagnoses: 1. chest pain with evidence of myocardial damage. 2. cocaine intoxication. 3. alcohol withdrawal. 4. delirium. 5.

history of present illness: the patient is a 26 and week infant admitted for issues of prematurity. the infant was born to a 16 year-old g1 p0 mother with type b positive, antibody negative, hepatitis b surface antigen negative, rubella immune and rpr nonreactive. estimated date of confinement based on last menstrual period and consistent with 14 week ultrasound. prenatal course: 1. dynamic cervix with periods of premature dilatation. 2. maternal pyelonephritis evident by urine and culture, positive for enterococcus and abnormal renal ultrasound, mother received cefotaxime and gentamycin for 3 to with temperature max of 104, repeat urine and cultures negative. 3. readmitted for bed rest on due to cervical dilatation, received betamethasone at that time and . today mother with contractions noted as well as increased cervical dilatation. she is brought to the obstetrical floor for close observation, placed in reverse trendelenburg position and started on magnesium sulfate. fetus was in footling breech position. when the mother was observed to have vaginal bleeding, infant was delivered by stat c section due to concern for possible abruption and concern of prolapsed cord. no maternal fever. rupture of membranes at delivery. unknown gbs. no maternal antibiotics at the time of delivery. infant delivered on at 9:54 p.m. by stat c section. mother received anesthesia by spinal method. infant emerged vigorous. brought to warmer, dried and bulb suctioned. given blow by oxygen for central cyanosis with good response. heart rate was greater then 100, intubated by 3.5 minutes of age due to increased work of breathing. apgars of 8 at one minute and 8 at five minutes. brought to the neonatal intensive care unit for further evaluation. physical examination: heart rate 180s. pressure within normal limits. temperature 96.3. o2 saturation 94% on simv, weight 815 grams 25th percentile, length 33.5 cm 25th percentile, head circumference 23.25 cm 10 to 25th percentile. active infant anterior fontanel soft, open and flat. normal s1 and s2. no murmur. moderate aeration bilaterally. mild intercostal and subcostal retractions. abdomen soft, nontender, nondistended. extremities warm slightly decreased perfusion. patent anus. intact spine. bruising noted on right upper chest, right knee and upper back. hospital course: 1. cardiovascular: baby boy did require dopamine for the first 24 to 48 hours of life. max dopamine requirement was 20 micrograms per kilo per minute. on day of life two a murmur and clinical signs and symptoms consistent with a pda were noted. indocin was empirically stared with prompt resolution of those signs and symptoms. for persistent metabolic acidosis a repeat echocardiogram was performed on day of life five and showed that the pda was closed structure and function of the heart was within normal limits. 2. respiratory: the patient was treated with two doses of survanta. he weaned promptly on his ventilator settings. on day of life four he was extubated to a cpap of 5. he did cpap have quite a few and dramatic apnea and bradycardic episodes. his caffeine was bumped and bolused to give him 8 mg per kilogram per day of caffeine intravenously. he currently has been switched from bubble nasal cannula cpap to nasopharyngeal cpap. if his apnea and bradycardic episodes remain constant and severe we plan to reintubate him and place him back on simv. 3. fen: the patient was started on 100 cc per kilo per day of total fluids. most recently increased it to 150 cc per kilogram per day for a weight loss of 124 grams giving him a current weight of 691 grams. he was initially npo after completing his course of indocin. he was started on feeds at 10 cc per kilogram per day where he currently remains. 4. access: he initially had a uac and uvc in place. the uac was discontinued on day of life four. on day of life five our plan is to replace the uvc with a peripherally inserted central catheter. 5. electrolytes were closely monitored. he did develop an impressive metabolic acidosis with a bicarb of 13 and a metabolic acidosis on arterial and capillary gases. in addition to adding maximum acetate in his pn we have given him a single sodium bicarb bolus on day of life four. this persistent metabolic acidosis did raise the concern of a persistent pda with absent murmur, however, an echocardiogram has ruled this out as a cause of the metabolic acidosis. we have also recent a cbc and culture to investigate this metabolic acidosis. 6. infectious disease: the patient was initially placed on ampicillin and gentamycin. this was discontinued after 48 hours of sterile cultures. as mentioned above a repeat cbc and cultures for metabolic acidosis was sent on day of life five. 7. hematology: hematocrit on admission was 39.8 with initial platelet count of 65 that was rechecked and was actually 266. most recent hematocrit was 31. we plan to transfuse him within the next 24 hours. the patient developed physiologic hyperbilirubinemia with a max bilirubin of 4.4. he remains on single phototherapy. 8. neurological: the patient did have a cranial ultrasound on day of life five that was within normal limits. 9. social: mom is a 16 year-old single mother, but is engaged to the baby's father. she has met with social workers and we continue to keep her updated. , m.d. dictated by: medquist36 Procedure: Venous

allergies: tetracycline attending: chief complaint: left hip pain/ osteoarthritis major surgical or invasive procedure: : left thr history of present illness: the pt is a 69 year old male with a severely arthritic left hip. this hip has been bothering him for upwards of 2 years and radiographic studies have demonstrated complete bone on bone involvement with lateral osteophyte formation, and a relatively acetabulum consistent with ddh. he does relate a single incidence of trauma to the hip back approximately 11 years ago during a hurricaine, but that probably is not a major component. he at this point states that his pain, which he feels primarily in the left groin, is with activity, with rest. he is able to walk only about 2 blocks. he occasionally has used a crutch in the past but not presently. he has a lot of discomfort when he transitions from a seated to a standing position. he can still ambulate sequentially on stairs, more problem ascending than descending but oftentimes has to revert back to one step at a time. it is painful for him to be in a plane or a car for persistent periods of time. the hip pain wakes him up every 2 or 3 hours at night. past medical history:

procedure which he tolerated well. please see the dictated operative note for further details. in the pacu, the pt was noted to be excessively sleepy with occassional desaturations when he would fall asleep. he was therefore admitted to the icu for observation overnight. as the anesthetic cleared the pt's system, the episodes ceased and he was trnasferred out to the floor early in the morning of pod#1. on arrival to the floor, he was noted to be relatively hypotensive with low urine output. he was mentating fine and only complained of pain at the procedure site. more aggressive fluid resuscitation was begun. likely secondary to dehydration, the pt went into acute renal failure with a doubling of his creatinine to a high of 2.6. fluid resusucitation was continued and all potentially nephrotoxic medications were held. also on pod#1 the physical therapy service began working with the pt and continued to work with him throughout his hospitalization. lovenox therapy was also initiated. in prior discussions with the pt's cardiologist and pcp, was determined that the pt no longer needed to be on coumadin for his past episodes of atrial fibrillation, and so this medication was not restarted post-op, and instead the pt will have the usual 2 week course of dvt prophylaxis with lovenox. by pod#2, the pt's renal function had corrected and he began auto-diuresing. his creatinine returned to his baseline of 1.3 by the time of discharge. he was gradually restarted on his usual home medications including his usual diuretics. xrays obtained demonstrated the hip components in good position. the pt's foley catheter was removed on pod#3. the pt's wound continued to mildly ooze serosanguinous drainage and he was prophylactically placed on keflex while the draining continued. the pt's other main issue during his admission was pain control. after initial control with a pca, he was transitioned to oral pain medication. adequate pain control was eventually achieved with oral dilaudid. by the day of discharge, the pt was tolerating a regular diet with his pain adequately controlled on oral pain medication. he was discharged to rehab in stable condition

convex to the right. there is slight cardiomegaly with lv predominance but no evidence for chf. a dual chamber right sided pacemaker is present with atrial and ventricular leads in situ, in good location. the lungs are clear. there is minimal blunting of posterior costophrenic angle. degenerative changes are present in the thoracic spine and there are surgical clips in the right upper abdomen presumed s/p cholecystectomy. cxr ap & lateral chest views have been obtained in this patient now demonstrating status post sternotomy, and the presence of multiple surgical clips in the left-sided anterior mediastinum are consistent with bypass surgery. a right-sided permanent pacer in anterior axillary position is connected to two intervavitary electrodes terminating in positions compatible with right atrial appendage and apical portion of right ventricle correspondingly. there is no evidence of pneumothorax. the right-sided diaphragm is well delineated, but the left-sided diaphragm is obliterated and blunted. lateral pleural sinus is consistent with postoperative pleural effsion of moderate degree. review of the patient's radiologic records demonstrates that the preoperative chest examination in pa & lateral technique was performed on , then demonstrating mild cardiac enlargement, moderately widened and elongated thoraic aorta with calcium deposits in the wall. the pulmonary vasculature did not demonstrate any congestive pattern. the right-sided permanent pacer with dual-electrode system existed already at that time. comparison of today's fourth postoperative examination, now in pa/lateral technique, demonstrates considerable postoperative mediastinal widening to persist, and the left lower lobe atelectasis-pleural density is new and has not normalized as yet. further postoperative follow-up exam is advised. there is no evidence of remaining pneumothorax. cardiac catheterization 1. selective coronary angiography revealed a right-dominant system. the lmca was calcified with an 80% lesion. the lad and lcx both had mild disease. the rca had a 50% ostial lesion with no flow limiting stenoses. 2. left ventriculography revealed a moderately decreased ejection fraction (ef 35%) with global hypokinesis. there was 1+ mitral regurgitation. 3. resting hemodynamics revealed mild/moderately elevated left and right-sided filling pressures (ra mean 9mmhg, pa mean 28mmhg, pwcp mean 13mmhg). the estimted cardiac index was 2.0 l/min/m2. there was no gradient on pull back across the aortic valve. ekg atrial fibrillation, average ventricular rate 100-115, and rate-related left bundle-branch block. non-specific repolarization abnormalities. compared to the previous tracing of the overall ventricular rate is slightly faster and rate-related left

diagnostic interim change. carotid duplex ultrasound minimal plaque with bilateral less than 40% carotid stenosis. pathology cardiac tissue consistent with atrial appendage, with myocyte hypertrophy. brief hospital course: mr. was admitted to the medical center on for a cardiac catheterization. this was significant for an 80% stenosed left main coronary artery, a 50% stenosed right coronary artery and an ejection fractionof 35%. due to the severity of his disease, the cardiac surgical service was consulted for surgical revascularization and mr. was worked-up in the usual preoperative manner. his coumadin was stopped and his inr was allowed to drift towards normal. a carotid duplex ultrasound was obtained which showed less then a 40% stenosis in the bilateral internal carotid arteries. on , mr. was taken to the operating room where he underwent coronary artery bypass grafting to two vessels. postoperatively he was taken to the cardiac surgical intensive care unit for monitoring. his pacemaker was interrogated following surgery and was found to be functioning within normal limits. he remained in atrial fibrillation which was treated with diltiazem and digoxin for rate control. mr. had some postoperative delerium which resolved over several days without further workup. on postoperative day two, mr. e neurologically intact and was extubated. coumadin was started for anticoagulation for atrial fibrillation. gentle diuresis was initiated. the physical therapy service was consulted for assistance with his postoperative strength and mobility. heparin was started while his inr was subtherapeutic on coumadin. on postoperative day four, mr. was transferred to the cardiac surgical step down unit for further recovery. he continued to work with physical therapy for postoperative mobility. as his inr became therapeutic on coumadin, his heparin was discontinued. his chest tubes were removed per protocol. mr. continued to make steady progress and was discharged home on postoperative day seven. he will follow-up with dr. , his cardiologist and his primary care physician as an outpatient. medications on admission: cardizem 120mg once daily multivitamin

with pmh significant for bipolar disorder admitted to on following a cocaine overdose. pt was in his normal state of health until . at that time, he was being persued in his car by the police and swallowed maybe twenty nine one gram packets of cocaine wrapped in cellophane at approximately 3:30 pm on . apparently he had punctured some of these bags in order to get high. ems was called to transport the pt to the ed. in route, he was given 20 mg of valium. the pt's vs in the osh ed were 101.6 142/94 130 22 94%. glascow coma scale was 15. urine tox screen was positive for etoh and cocaine. the pt was given activated charcoal and a gallon of golytely. at 6:00 pm, the pt sufferred a witnessed seizure and was given multiple doses of ativan to break the seizure. he was intubated for airway protection and transferred to for further care. . on arrival to the ed, the pt's vs were 100.8 112 166/112 --> 128/76 22 100% on 550/15/50% with a peep of 5. pt was given ativan 4 mg x1, 2l of golytely, charcoal, and started on a propofol drip. pt was noted to have qt prolongation on his ecg which was initially felt to be due to his cocaine ingestion. however, toxicology felt that this was unlikely and a qrs prolongation would be more expected with cocaine overdose. the pt has continued to have ecgs followed on a regular basis and agressive electrolyte replacement. pt was extubated on the morning of without difficulty. by that time, his stool had cleared with the golytely. on , the pt was continuing to pass bags of cocaine in his stool. he will be transferred to the floor for

something and her "head swam" and she felt strange. she then went down to her knees and realized she was going to faint. she reports hitting her shoulder, but she does not think she hit her head(she is not sure though). she was apparently in the tub for some time unable to get up(possibly hours) before her son found her and called ems. she went to and had a head ct which showed a left cerebellar hemisphere hemorrhage with some edema, but no obstruction of the 4th ventricle. she was given mannitol 25g and transferred here. she has been mildly confused; per her son, this started about 3 weeks prior to presentation, fairly acutely. for example, she has been calling the cat the wrong name, went out on the balcony not fully dressed, and thought it was the fourth of last week. she is usually

the fourth ventricle. 2. chronic small vessel ischemic disease, with additional area of hypodensity in the right parietal lobe that may represent an area of subacute infarction. if there is clinical concern, mri would be more sensitive for evaluation of acute brain ischemia. mri : multiple infarcts involving several vascular territories, the largest area involving the right temporal and parietal regions, which appear acute and subacute. the areas of enhancement could certainly represent some of the more acute foci of infarction. blood products in both the right parietal region as well as the left cerebellum. these multiple findings can be unified with the diagnosis of emboli. please consider a cardiac echo to evaluate for thrombus and defects such as a pfo or asd. follow up examination in a few days may help to differentiate multiple emboli from the possibility of metastatic disease given the patient's history of breast cancer. c-spine x-ray: 1. limited study as described above. the cervical spine cannot be fully evaluated on these views; however, there are no signs for acute injury. if there is high clinical concern, cross-sectional imaging with ct scan can be performed. 2.

patient was initially admitted for the hospital for passing blood clots mixed with stool. she initially required multiple units of prbcs. egd done while in the unit was unrevealing for a source of bleeding. initially colonoscopy was deferred because it was thought to be of limited utility and benefit. while on the floor, the patient's hct was initially stable. she was continued on iv flagyl for her cdiff colitis, which was thought to be a possible source of her bleeding. her hct started trending down and there was noted to be a few clots and some blood mixed with the stool. she was again transfused 2 units prbcs. gi was again consulted and they decided to perform a colonoscopy to attempt to identify a source of continued bleeding. colonoscopy only showed multiple diverticuli and internal hemorrhoids, both of which were thought to be possible sources of her gi bleeding. . #recent cva and intracranial hemorrhage - before this admission, the patient had a history of multiple embolic strokes as well as an acute intracranial hemorrhage. after initial discharge from the micu, there was a question of possible anticoagulation in this patient because of concern for hit. a repeat mri was performed which showed an interval increase in embolic phenomenom as well as a subacute on chronic hemorrhage. repeat echo was performed to evaluate embolic strokes. again, no vegitations were seen on the cardiac valves and no pfo was seen. . #thrombocytopenia - there was an initial concern for hit in this patient. hematology was consulted to help with assessment for the diagnosis and determination if anticoagulation is needed. with regard to the diagnosis of hit, it is unlikely that she has this. her thrombocytopenia has been going throughout her inpatient stay at both the and hospitals. in addition, there are many confounding factors for this finding, including consecutive infections and polypharmacy (vancomycin, ciprofloxacin). furthermore, her optical density value is 0.45 and the cut-off for a positive test result is 0.40. publications support an optical density of 1.0 better for the diagnosis of hit. for these reasons, the heme service did not believe that she had hit and thus argatroban was not indicated. . #coag neg staff endocarditis - on past admission, the patient had 4/4 bottles positive for coag neg staff. tte at the time was negative for vegitations. she is being treated with a 6 week course of vancomycin. repeat echo done on current admission still did not show any vegitations. . #breast cancer - she is followed by dr. at nw. on this admission, a new area of destruction of cortex of the medial portion of the left ilium was seen on ct abd. there was a concern for possible metastatic lesions from her breast cancer verses metastatic lesions from another unknown primary source. options for further work up were discussed with dr. . these were presented to the patient's son. son relayed that his mother would not want any further treatment including both chemo or radiation. based on this desire, it was decided that no further work up of this lesion was warrented as the patient would not want treatment. . #fen - the patient has been maintained on a ng feeding tube for most of her hospital stay. a swallow study completed showed that she would be able to safely tolerate ground food and thin liquids. tube feeds were stopped and the patient was encouraged to eat. it was very difficult for the patient to sucessfully take in po, either because of neurological dysfunction or a lack of desire. the option of peg placement was discussed with the family. _____________ after discussion with the patients son who is her health care proxy, it was decided to make the patient comfort care only. all of her antibiotics and other medications not related to comfort were discountinued. she will be discharged with oral morphine for comfort. she is being discharged to a hospice facility for further care. medications on admission: 1. fluconazole 2. furosemide 3. iron supplement 4. methylphenidate 5. vanco 1g qd discharge medications: 1. methylphenidate 10 mg tablet sig: one (1) tablet po daily (daily). disp:*30 tablet(s)* refills:*0* 2. morphine concentrate 20 mg/ml solution sig: 2.5-5 mg po q2h (every 2 hours) as needed for discomfort. disp:*qs 1mth * refills:*0* 3. hyoscyamine sulfate 0.125 mg tablet, sublingual sig: one (1) tablet, sublingual sublingual q4hr prn () as needed for secretions. disp:*qs 1mth tablet, sublingual(s)* refills:*0* discharge disposition: extended care facility: house (hospice home) -

this should continue to improve. -pe unlikely, leni's were negative, although upper ext usg showed chronic rij dvt, superficial left cephalic vein thromosis - diuresed prn for pulm edema; however, patient auto-diuresed with resolving atn - thoracenteses performed under ultrasound guidance on & for large pleural effusions . 3) fevers: of unknown source, white count trending down (compared to osh). consider nosocomial pneumonia vs. drug fever. - patient managed initially on meropenem and linezolid but changed to cefepime and linezolid for vap and good response to fever; sputum cultures grew , plan for nafcillin through . . 4) stroke: presumed embolic event, consider in the differential dvt vs. hypokinetic cardiac thrombus s/p mi vs. pfo. afib seems unlikely to be the cause as the temporal relationship does not correspond, although again this cannot be determined. patient with residual right side hemiplegia which correlates with infarction of left parietal region and left external capsule region. - asa;

elev wbc, and negative ct. a brief-problem based hospital course is outlined below. 1) presumed c.diff infxn- admitted and started on p.o. vancomyin and iv metronidazole, w/ addition of levofloxacin for broad spectrum coverage given recent abd surgery. cholestyramine was initially given for toxin binding. wbc was 30 on admission and trended down with abx; however, c.diff toxin neg x5, so diagnosis remains presumptive. c. diff b toxin was sent and was negative as well. she completed a 3 week course of po vanco and iv flagyl antibiotics, which was completed on . she subsequently remained afebrile without further diarrhea, and was able to tolerate po's. 2) pt began having episodes of brbpr on with resultant slow hct drop. gi and surgery were consulted. pt had no abdominal pain, but given recent surgery and low albumin, we were concerned that the bleed may be evidence of ischemic bowel or dehiscence. pt was also having intermittent episodes of tachycardia, raising the possibility that she was having embolic phenomena with acute ischemia. however, she had no abdominal pain to suggest this. colonoscopy was done on , showing severe c dif vs. ischemic bowel. surgery found that pt was not surgical candidate and believed her bleeding and mucosal damage was c dif and would continue to improve. biopsy results showed no evidence of c.dif, but given pt's tenuous status, po vanco and iv flagyl were continued while awaiting toxin b. it is quite possible that the mucosal changes seen on colonoscopy were the result of c dif infxn, which had been treated w/abx and resolved, leaving the mucosae to heal. as well, gi felt there may be a superimposed ischemic insult. no further work-up was performed since she had good clinical resolution of her colitis, following completion of cdiff treatment. 2) acute renal failure w/ cri- renal team was consulted on admisison. baseline cr is approx 2.0. on admission this was significantly elevated to 4.1. fena was c/w prerenal etiology and patient had r ij placed in ed, started on ns for volume resusciation. this was undertaken slowly given that pt had an albumin of 1.4 and pleural effusions were noted on ct. fluids were changed to 1/2ns w/ bicarb on hd2. cr trended down each day and the patient has maintained oxygenation. alb/cr ratio not c/w nephrotic range proteinuria- thus it was felt that the low alb was likely multifactorial. pt initially required boluses of 500cc ns to maintain uop ~20-30cc/hr. with hydration and improvement in her diarrhea, her cr steadily decreased and returned to baseline of 1.6. she was seen by renal who felt that her increase in creatinine may have been secondary to atn/hypotension and recommended avoiding aggressive overdiuresis. she did subsequently require aggressive diuresis given her rapid afib/chf with lasix and niseritide drips. however her creatinine remained at baseline of 1.7-2.0 with diuresis. she did develop a transient metabolic alkalosis, which was felt likely from volume contraction alkalosis. therefore her lasix was weaned to 40mg daily and her bicarb trended back down to 30. her creatinine was stable at 1.6 at the time of discharge. 3) pt was noted to be mildly thrombocytopenic on admisison. unclear why it was low when patient presented. most likely extreme inflammatory/sirs response (given elev lactate on admission). her plt count dropped to 95 and dic workup and hit ab were sent, both negative. her plt count rose as her clinical condition improved and remained in normal range for the duration of her hosital course. 4) htn - pt's baseline sbp is in the 180s-200s range. on admission, bp was low 3rd spacing and early sepsis. her bp responded to fluids and she remained relatively normotensive. she was continued on metoprolol for hr/bp control and isordil/hydral was added for afterload reduction. 5) chf - evidence of chf on initial cxr. her ef was found to be 40% (previously normal), bringing up concern for ischemic event precipitating her failure. in support of this she was noted to have wall motion abnormalities on echo with inferoseptal/basal hypokinesis. diagnostic catheritization was not performed due to her renal insufficiency and decompensated chf. she was managed medically, and on the chf service was consulted for management. she was initiated on aggressive diuresis with iv lasix for goal -1.5l per day. she was transferred to the ccu briefly on for more tailored therapy and diuresis for her chf (lasix boluses and nesiritide) with good effect (negative approximately 500 cc overnight). she was transferred back to the floor on lasix boluses. due to continued evidence of volume overload she was given 160mg iv + started on lasix drip at 10mg/hr. then started nesiritide (1mcg/kg) followed by gtt at 0.01mcg/kg/min. diuresed well to this and maintained bp well, however after increasing natrecor to 0.015, went back into rapid afib. stopped natrecor on . stopped lasix gtt on given persistent good diuresis. now tapered down to 40mg daily lasix/day + afterload reduction w/ isordil/hydral on . at the time of discharge, she was felt to be euvolemic with goal of matching ins and outs daily. we will continue her on this regimen upon discharge. 7. atrial fibrillation: initially converted from raf by medical cardioversion performed with procainamide gtt in the ccu at 13mg/kg/hr x10min load followed by 2mg/hr for 2h trial. became hypotensive to 60's systolic, but subsequently recovered. then again went into raf on early am. initially hr controlled w/ iv lopressor/iv dilt. then medical cardioversion w/ procainamide. became hypotensive to 70's systolic after about 10 minutes on procainamide , this was stopped and her blood pressures normalized. she then converted 10 min later to nsr. she has been in nsr the remainder of her hospital course. she is not on coumadin due to risk for bleed. in addition, amiodorone was discussed as a medical option for continued rythm control. however, given the side effect profile, the family and patient were more comfortable with holding off on adding amiodorone at this time. they understand that there is a higher risk of conversion back to atrial fibrillation and increased risk for stroke without amiodorone. we will continue rate control with metoprolol as mentioned at 25mg tid, and may titrate up as needed to maintain hr <80. 8. cad- wall motion abnormalities on echo w/ inferoseptal/basal hk. currently chest pain free. continuing with medical management. on statin/b-blocker. no plan for cath at this time given her renal insuff/co-morbiditites. also holding off on aspirin currently given her bleed risk. this will be re-addressed as an outpatient through her pcp . . 9. anemia- initially had episode of gi bleed with blood loss anemia requiring 3 units of packed red blood cells. hematocrit subsequently normalized. however, she subsequently was noted to have a low, but stable, hematocrit at 28-29. repeat stool guaiacs were all negative and she had no further evidence of bleed or hemolysis. iron stores were also found to be within normal limits, with low tibc and high ferritin suggesting anemia of chronic disease. this was felt likely secondary to chronic renal insufficiency. she was started on epo 2,000 units q m,w,fr on . the goal transfusion criteria would be 30 given her history of cad, however, we have held off on further transfusion at this time given her known chf with recent severe volume overload. we have set transfusion goal at hct>28, and transfused with 1 unit packed red blood cells and 20mg iv lasix for hct <28. 10. tachypnea- resolved. her transient tachypnea was felt likely secondary to volume overload. there was no evidence of infiltrate by cxr. her abg at the time on showed 7.29/43/99. her respiratory status subsequently improved that same day on following iv lasix and atrovent nebulizers. avoided albuterol nebulizers over concern for tachycardia. 11. f/e/n- started on tpn for nutritional supplementation. she also had a swallow study which showed ability to tolerated regular solids and thin liquids. she has been taking in po's as tolerated, but has continued to require tpn to reach nutritional goals. this will be continued upon discharge at rehab. medications on admission: aspirin 81mg--one by mouth every day calcium --one tablet three times a day clonidine

consistent with an interface-type reaction including an interface-type drug reaction and/or a lesion along the spectrum of erythema multiforme/ syndrome. . mri head : 1. right parietal lobe lesion with susceptibility and questionable adjacent tiny area of enhancement, corresponding to the lesion seen on the patient's prior ct study of . this likely represents a small focus of hemorrhage versus a vascular malformation. . cxr impression: 1. right ij line is in good position. there is no pneumothorax. 2. focal opacity at the left costophrenic angle consistent with atelectasis or infiltrate. 3. eighteen millimeter nodule seen in the left mid lung field, which was in a different position on a prior study from . if clinically indicated, further evaluation with a chest ct is recommended. . ct torso : heart size mildly enlarged, tunnel dialysis cath in proximal ra; no hilar lad, bibasilar lad, no pulm nodules; small left pleural effusion; liver/gb/spleen/bowel unremarkable; suggstion of renal disease; no osseous lesions; large amount of ascites . ct head : tiny high attenuation focus representing hemorrhage unchanged from with small amt of edema; also area of high attenuation below r parietal bone but image limited by motion and is likely motion artifact but new subdural bleed cannot be excluded . xray l/t/s spine: no fracture . ct head repeat : intraventricular hemorrhage in the r occipital . . ct head : interval increase in degree of hemorrhage present within the septum pellucidum and layering within the lateral ventricles bilaterally with stable appearance of right centrum semiovale foci of hemorrhage. . ct head : findings: hemorrhage within the septum pellucidum is unchanged when compared to prior study. the blood within the occipital horns of the lateral ventricles is also unchanged. the ventricles are stable in size since the prior study. there is no evidence of hydrocephalus. again noted is a small focus of hemorrhage in the right centrum semiovale which is unchanged when compared to the prior study. impression: stable appearance of the head. stable hemorrhage within the septum pellucidum and within the lateral ventricles. no new hemorrhage identified. . ct head findings: there is a new area of high density in the anterior interhemispheric fissure extending on both sides of the anterior falx cerebri. some of this may be subdural in nature, but it appears to largely represent subarachnoid blood. it is layering along the right a1 portion of the anterior cerebral artery. ventricular dimension is unchanged. impression: new anterior interhemispheric hemorrhage with features as discussed above. this hemorrhage may be in continuity with the septal hematoma superiorly, but this is indefinite. . brief hospital course: a/p 47 yo female with hiv, hep c, hepatic encephalopathy, presented to er for change mental status and rash, found to be syndrome based on clinical impression with supporting skin 4mm punch biopsy. pt then seemed to develop a fibrinogen defect causing ivh and resulting in 2 micu transfers for iv amicar. . #ivh: pt fell off ir table on , resulting in r eye hematoma and laceration. pt was taken immediately for ct head and neck. c spine was negative for fracture. she had no c spine ttp, so c collar was removed. pt did have lumbar and thoracic spinous process tenderness so xray of spine was ordered. on read of head ct, there was the old subcortical small bleed and ?new r parietal bleed vs motion artifact. xray of spine was negative for fracture. repeat head ct showed the ?subdural bleed was an artifact, but there was a new area of intraventricular hemorrhage in the r occipital . heme onc was contact and recommended iv amicar (given it was felt the pt had a fibrin related defect), neuro agreed. the pt was transferred to the micu for iv amicar for 24 hrs at 0.2 gm/hr after an initial 1 gm loading dose. she was also given cryoprecipitate. repeat ct head on revealed interval increase in degree of hemorrhage present within the septum pellucidum and layering within the lateral ventricles bilaterally with stable appearance of right centrum semiovale foci of hemorrhage. neurosurgery at this time felt the pt had no evidence of hydrocephalus and no obstruction of her 3rd and 4th ventricles (thus there was no further intervention). the pt was started on metoprolol 25 mg and hydralazine 25 mg po qid to maintain sbp less than 140 (pts sbp was up to 160 on ). repeat ct head on revealed stable appearance of the hemorrhage in the lateral ventricle. the pt was again transferred to the floor on with repeat head ct on . the pt found to have a new area of high density in the anterior interhemispheric fissure extending on both sides of the anterior falx cerebri. the pt was given plt to maintain above 100, vit k for inr of 68, and cryoprecipitate to maintain fibrinogen levels greater than 200. she was again transferred to the micu for iv amicar infusion while patient was intubated as she was somnolent and unable to protect her airways. patient's neurological status continued to deteriorate and she remained unresponsive. patient's family decided to make the patient dnr/dni and she was extubated. patient remained apnic after extubated and comfortable on morphine drip. she expired on . . #. ams: her mental status intially appeared to have returned to her baseline after a large bowel movement in the ed. lp was clear essentially ruling out meningitis, especially hsv meningitis. she was initially mostly clear mentally, but at times seems to have short-term memory difficulty. however, neuro was concerned that pt was becoming more encephalopathic so her lactulose was titrated up to 45 q 8 hr prn for 2 bm per day. following her ivh on , the pts mental status declined, at times only responsive to painful stimuli and not following commands. patient remained in sub-optimal mental status with acute worsening after re-bleeding discovered on . . # bleeding diathesis: neuro felt that the small rounded density seen in subcortical white matter on head ct from was not a hemorrhage, but needed to be evaluated by mri head w/ contrast and susceptibility series given her hiv history. mri was c/w small hemorrhage vs vascular malformation. this finding was not alarming until the pt developed a subsequent bleed in the pineal region on , further evolution of bleed on , and new vs extension of bleed into the anterior interhemispheric region. in addition the pt underwent permacath placement for hd , complicated by persistent oozing at site. initially it was felt her catheter was oozing secondary to a mechanical complication. however, the pt subsequently developed oozing from her l thigh bx site and bleeding from her nose (). the ddx of the continued bleeding included mechanical,low plt count, plt dysfunction, and coagulopathy esld and crf. vwf screen was neg, but in setting of multiple blood products. factor viii was wnl. dic labs (fibrinogen nl) and coags wnl. pt received 30 mcg ddavp x3 on , cryo x1 on , ffp on bag plt , 2 bag plt/10 ug ddavp/30 ug ddavp , 30 ug ddavp on , and plt plus cryo on . she was taken to ir x 1 with suture placement and dressing, taken back at 3am for persistent ooze, given silver nitrate cautery, with hemostasis. general surgerywas called, and sutured permacath site on , resutured it for persistent bleed. pt was taken to ir on with thrombin injected around permacath site and new sutures placed. on pt was taken to ir to examine the permacath for leak, but the pt fell off ir table and further workup was haulted. heme/onc was consulted for the pts bleeding, and it was felt pts bleeding may be secondary to functional fibrinogenemia in the setting of esld (fibrinogen prior ot receiving ffp/cryo this admission was in the 100s). per heme/onc recs, topical amicar was applied to the pts permacath and thigh bx site, achieving temporary hemostasis. the pts depakote was also discontinued on given that depakote has been noted to cause bleeding in the setting of surgery. once the pt was noted to have a new intraventricular hemorrhage in her r occipital on , the pt was started on iv amicar per heme/onc recs for emergent bleeding, and the pt was transferred to the unit. please see above for further course of her ivh. . #. conjunctivitis: the pt was noted to have bilateral conjuncitivitis with mucopurulent discharge bilaterally. ophthalmology was consulted for further management in this hiv positive patient. her conjunctivitis was originally concerning for neisseria gonorrhea per ophthalmology, cx swab sent, gram stain sent (not done, cancelled test) and viral cx found to be negative. given possible severe allergy to pcn and ceftriaxone and possibly levoflox, we curbsided id, and the pt received 6 days of po azithromycin, with erythromycin eye drops. however, on physicial exam pt still with mucopurulent discharge, and bilateral conjuncitivits. since she was not improving, ophtho recommeded starting polysporin ointment. her mucopurulent discharge resolved on polysporin. on , the decision was made to stop po azithromycin. artifical tears was ordered for the pt as well. the pt received polysporin ointment qid in house and after d/c she was ordered artificial tears q 6 hr prn. the pt is to follow up in clinic after discharge. . #. rash: dermatology was consulted in the ed and felt that this rash was consistent with a syndrome due to levofloxacin, ceftriaxone, or dilantin. less likely to be caused by oral hsv, and pt was initially tx with iv acyclovir, which was subsequently discontinued. her skin punch biopsy in the anterior left thigh revealed vacuolar interface dermatitis with pigment laden scale, scattered epidermal civatte bodies, edema, and superficial dermal pigment incontinence, with no epidermal necrosis, a focal early subepidermal split. the findings are consistent with an interface-type reaction including an interface-type drug reaction and/or a lesion along the spectrum of erythema multiforme/ syndrome. hsv culture of the erosions present in the patient's mouth were negative for hsv. iv acyclovir was initially started empirically, then discontinued, as it was felt that the risk of nephrotoxicity outweighed the ?benefit. rocephin, levaquin, and dilantin were held. per derm, all aromatic anti-convulsants (dilantin, carbamezapine, phenobarbital) should not be given as they cross-react. the pt experienced improvement over a several day course using the following treatments: triamcinolone ointment 0.1% over affected area, bacitracin topically to vulvar erosions., for mucosal lesions and mouth pain- ordered lidocaine mouthwash prn. . # crf: on admission the pt had a left av fistula in place, not yet mature. crcl is <10 so renally dose meds. pt started hd on . received 2 units prbcs and . received another unit prbc on and on . calcitriol, nahco3 (will be corrected in hd) were discontinued. . #. ?history of seizure disorder neuro was consulted for . given history of childhood seizures, pt is at risk for further seizures, although we did have her records from . neuro recommended discontinuing dilantin, and the pt was started depakote 250mg po bid. this was titrated up to 250 mg tid and was subsequently discontinued once it was overlapped with keppra for 2 days (depakote was discontinued in the setting of bleeding as per above, and due to her liver disease). the pt was then continued on keppra. . #fever: pt spiked temp 101 on night of and , low grade temp on subsequent nights. unclear . u cx, c diff neg. cxr had ? lml nodule and possible lll loculated effusion, however ct torso from shows no nodule (nipple shadow on cxr apparently) and small bl pleural effusions, no acute intrab process. pt also c/o diarrhea at this time, but likely due to sjs. pt has large ascites and mild mid-ab pain, but sbp unlikely and pt at risk for bleeding with paracentesis. ua, urine cx, stool cx, and blood cx were all repeated on for continued low grade fevers. a component of the pts ivh could have also been contributing to her fever at that time. . #. elevated pancreatic enzymes: the pt has known chronic pancreatitis, with her enzymes at baseline levels. the pt is currently off haart which has been attributed in the past to causing her pancreatitis. ct torso on was negative for signs of pancreatitis. . 8. anemia: recent anemia w/u consistent with anemia of chronic dz, likely from renal failure. given also has guaiac positive stool, gib is another source though no overt bleeding. patient received 2 units prbcs in hd , 2 units prbcs after hd. baseline 22-25. . #h/o hepatic encephalopathy: no clear signs of encephalopathy during

allergies: penicillins / naproxen attending: chief complaint: ? seizure, delta ms major surgical or invasive procedure: lumbar puncture and history of present illness: 47 year old female with hep c cirrhosis, hiv ( cd4 >1000, vl>916,000), type ii dm, and recently diagnosed chronic renal failure presents following possible seizure. her boyfriend reports that earlier today, he noted that, when she was giving herself insulin her right hand began shaking for a few minutes. she was also complaining of a mild frontal headache, relieved with ibuprofen. boyfriend left the pt at 6am this morning. both pt's mother and boyfriend attempted to call the pt at 10am then at 11am, but pt did not respond to the phone. after returning from work at 3:45 p.m., her boyfriend found her unconscious and covered in stool/urine; she later opened her eyes, but did not seem to recognize him. no known fevers, chills, uri symptoms, abdominal or urinary symptoms. she was brought to the ed, where t 99.8, hr 112, bp 178/101, resp 20 96% 2l nc. she was noted to have eye deviation to the left with nystagmus, followed by deviation to the right with nystagmus. she received ativan 4 mg iv x 1 with resolution of eye deviation. given shallow breathing and diminished gag, she was intubated for airway protection. . the patient was recently admitted after she presented with decreased uop, increased le edema, and increased abdominal girth and was found to be in subacute renal failure (bun 64/5.1). exam/laboratory studies were c/w nephrotic syndrome, and a renal u/s showed lg echogenic kidneys with nl

high t2 signal in the periventricular and subcortical white matter of the cerebral hemispheres bilaterally, which appear nonspecific but may represent infection, chronic microvascular ischemia, or demyelinating disease. 2. flow in all major tributaries of the circle of on otherwise limited mra. cxr improved consolidation with residual consolidation in the posterior basilar segment of the right lower lobe. ct head there is no acute intracranial hemorrhage, mass effect, or shift of normally midline structures. the ventricles are stable in size. there are new small bilateral low density fluid

red blood cells. eeg this is an abnormal routine eeg obtained in stage ii sleep progressing to stage iii sleep with brief periods of wakefulness due to the presence of sharp and spikes bifrontally, left more than right. in addition, the patient is excessively drowsy and sleepy. this finding could either be due to a previous sleep deprivation or could be a medication overdose effect. this can be seen in context of high blood levels of antihistamines, albuterol. no seizure activity recorded. brief hospital course: 47 y/o aaf with pmh significant for hiv, hepatitis c, cirrhosis, type ii dm, htn, and most recent hospitalization for subacute renal failure (dm nephropathy +/- iga nephropathy), presents with altered mental status. 1. mental status changes while her initial mental status changes were thought to be due to hypoglycemia (glucose on admission was 36), the differential regarding this remains broad. acyclovir and levofloxacin, as well as sedatives she was given in the icu may have contributed to her ms given her poor renal and hepatic clearance (propofol, d/c on ; morphine, dosed 2mg on , and ?amt on ). she was also found to have aspiration pneumonia, which also may have aggrevated her mental status. initially, following transfer from the icu, her mental status improved and was thought to be secondary to medications over her stay . hepatic encephalopathy is still a possibility, with her elevated ammonia (84 umol/l), but was not encephalopathic during previous hospital stay and did not receive lactulose at that time; she received lactulose throughout this admission. similarly, uremic encephalopathy was also considered although her bun today was 70, and at prior admission, she was not encephalopathic though in arf with elevated bun/cr. delirium tremens was also considered, however her history and speaking with her family speaks against this. her family states that she did not drink from the time she was discharged to her admission. the time frame was off given her stay in the micu for delerium tremens, and her symptoms were not consistent with this. in addition, a ppd was planted and read as negative on . finally, an htlv1/2 was found to be negative, suggesting her high cd4 count of >1000 did represent true immunocompentency, as htlv1/2 infection can give a false impression of a high cd4 count. two lps failed to reveal a cause for her change in ms, such as active meningitis, thus nondiagnostic. at discharge, crypto was negative but jcv, cmv, and toxo were pending. at discharge, the patient was afebrile, her renal biopsy site was resolving well, her wbc on was 11.2, and she was alert, oriented to person, place and time, and appropriate. . 2. hypovolemic hypernatremia over the course of her admission, the patient had a gradually rising sodium, which peaked at 151 on . this was likely iatrogenic and resolved when she was removed from restraints and put on clears. her sodium normalized at discharge to 137. . 3. ?holosystolic/?outflow tract heart murmur when the patient was hypovolemic, she was found to have a systolic murmur, heard best in the l upper sternal border. prior echo () and repeat echo () revealed no valvular abnormalities, no vegetations. the murmur was judged to be an outflow tract murmur, given the patient's low volume status. the murmur was no longer present on exam at discharge on . . 4. pneumonia: on admission, the patient was intubated in ed for airway protection. she was extubated after her mri but then became hypercarbic likely secondary to volume overload. the patient was diuresed and placed on bipap for one day. upon transfer from the icu, she continued to be stable on room air but was running a low grade fever and did have a chest xray consistent with rll aspiration pneumonia with possible lul pneumonia. she was placed on levofloxacin/flagyl. a repeat cxr on showed improvement in the rll consolidation. given her mental status changes, she was switched from levofloxacin to clindamycin for the final two days of her course. at discharge, she was afebrile and her lung exam was clear to ascultation. . 5. possible seizure: the patient's initial presentation on admission was consistent with a seizure (lateral eye deviation, stool/urine incontinence). the differential diagnosis considered in a patient with hiv, hepc, cirrhosis and dm2 was broad and included hypoglycemia, hepatic encephalopathy, renal encephalopathy, hiv-associated encephalopathy (20% of hiv encephalopathy is first presentation of symptomatic disease), toxins, withdrawal (given her polysubstance abuse), malignancy (lymphoma or primary or secondary tumor) vasculitidites (mixed cryos, microscopic polyarteritis, primary cns vasculitis), hemmorhagic stroke, or oi with hiv (including toxo, crypto, tb, listeria, pml). her mri/mra showed an increase in t2 signal in periventricular and subcortical white matter of both cerebral hemispheres. these findings were nonspecific but consistent with infection, chronic microvascular disease, or demyelinating disease. hypoglycemia, given the boyfriend's history, was considered most likely. alcohol withdrawal may have also precipitated the initial event or the hypoglycemia, but was considered less likely given her recent hospital stay. hepatic or uremic encephalopathy are still possibilities (given mri findings) but may be contributing to her ongoing mental status changes more than precipitating her acute event. the mri showed no mass effect or bleed, ruling out tumor or hemmorhagic stroke. her cd4 count remains high at +1000 (despite her high viral load of 916,000) making hiv encephalopathy still a possibility but any oi unlikely. an eeg during admission was consistent with no epileptiform activity. she was found to be hsv negative on , ppd negative on , htlv1/2 negative on , and crypto negative on . two lps, on and , were negative for polys and microorganisms on gram stain. tte on and showed no vegetiations, with the remainder of the study normal. jcv, cmv and toxo from lp were pending at the time of discharge. . 6. hip/flank pain most likely secondary to hematoma following renal biopsy, visualized on abdominal ct () as 2.7 by 4.8 cm lesion. per id's recommendation, a unilateral hip x-ray was conducted on and showed no evidence of osteomyeolitis. . 7. leukocytosis the patient was started on levofloxacin/flagyl on for rll infiltrate seen on cxr and increasing wbc (see above). the levofloxacin was switched to clindamycin for the 2 remaining days of the course. . 8. renal failure recent progression of cr from 1 to 5 with evidence of nephrotic syndrome. creatinine on discharge was 3.2. pathology from renal biopsy consistent with diabetic nephropathy and possibly iga nephropathy. . 9. hypertension the patient's hypertension was well-controlled over admission. she maintained on metroprolol 37.5 mg po tid, lisinopril 5mg po daily, and restarted on her furosemide 40mg on discharge. . 10. non-ag metabolic acidosis etiologies include diarrhea, type i or type iv rta (given positive uag), renal failure. the patient's acidosis was stable over the course of this and last admission. . 11. diarrhea c. diff negative, judged likely related to hiv . 12. anemia during her last admission, the patient's anemia and iron studies were consistent with anemia of chronic disease. her hematocrit was stable over this admission and discharged at 26.5%. . 13. thrombocytopenia over course of prior admission found to be ttp/hus negative. most likely secondary to liver disease. currently stable and discharged with platelet count of 68. . 14. hep c cirrhosis her ammonia level was found to be 84 on but fell to 40 on . she received lactulose over the course of her admission. hepatic encephalopathy may have been contributing to patient's change in mental status, however she was not receiving lactulose during her entire previous admission, and was not encephalopathic therefore unlikely casue of her delta ms. . 15. code: full code medications on admission: 1) quinine 650 mg po qhs prn 2) reglan 10 mg po bid 3) albuterol 2 puffs q6h prn 4) flovent 2 puffs 5) pantoprazole 40 mg po daily 6)

history: baby girl was born on as the 1655 gram product of a 31 week gestation pregnancy to a 34 year old gravida iii, para 0 to i mother with estimated date of confinement of . prenatal laboratory studies included blood type a positive, antibody negative, hepatitis b surface antigen negative, rpr nonreactive, rubella immune and group b strep unknown. maternal history notable for clomid assisted pregnancy. the pregnancy was complicated by preterm premature of membranes on , leading to maternal admission to the hospital and maternal treatment with antibiotics and betamethasone. mother developed increasing abdominal pain on the day prior to delivery leading to concerns for infection and prompting induction of labor. delivery was by cesarean section secondary to arrest of dilatation. mother did receive several doses of antibiotics just prior to delivery. infant emerged vigorous with apgar scores of 7 and 8 and was brought to the neonatal intensive care unit on oxygen. initial physical examination: initial examination was notable for a weight of 1655 grams, length of 39 cm, and head circumference of 28.5 cm. examination revealed a well developed premature infant overall consistent with 31 to 32 weeks gestational age. infant exhibited moderate respiratory distress with increased work of breathing and coarse breath sounds. hospital course by systems: 1. respiratory: infant was initially placed on cpap for evidence of hyaline membrane disease. however, secondary to increased oxygen requirement, the infant was intubated at approximately six hours of age and then received a total of two doses of surfactant. the infant did well and was extubated to cpap at 24 hours of age. infant remained on cpap until day of life four at which time she was weaned to room air. the infant has remained on room air since that time without significant evidence of respiratory insufficiency. the infant did exhibit mild evidence of immaturity of respiratory control with occasional apnea, bradycardia and desaturation episodes. the infant was not treated with caffeine and these episodes gradually resolved over time. the infant has not had an apneic or bradycardic episode at rest for approximately two weeks by the time of discharge. the patient did exhibit evidence of discoordination with feedings with occasional desaturations and bradycardic episodes during feeds; however, these also improved by the time of discharge. the infant had no feeding related events for five days. 1. cardiovascular: the infant remained hemodynamically stable throughout admission. the infant did not exhibit hypotension or significant concerns for a patent ductus arteriosus. intermittent murmur was heard over the course of the hospitalization; this was not evaluated in detail and a murmur was not present by the time of discharge. 1. fluids, electrolytes and nutrition: the infant was maintained on intravenous fluids and then begun on parenteral nutrition. enteral feedings were introduced on day of life 2 and were advanced without difficulty. the infant received a parenteral nutrition for a total of five days and reached full enteral feedings by day of life number seven. calories were subsequently increased to a maximum caloric density of 28 calories per ounce of breast with added promod. the feedings were initially given by gavage tube with oral feedings gradually introduced and advanced as tolerated. with excellent weight gain caloric density of breast milk was slowly decreased. by the time of discharge the infant is being given 24 calories per ounce made with similac powder, taking it all by mouth with total intake of 150 to 180 cc per kilogram per day with excellent weight gain. recent growth parameters include weight of 2785 (inc 60g) on , head circumference of 33 cm on and length of 47.5 cm on . electrolytes were periodically monitored throughout admission and remained within normal limits. the infant is on vi-daylin at the time of discharge, 0.1 cc by mouth q. day. 1. hematology/infectious disease: a cbc and blood culture were sent on admission. cbc included a white count of 14.5 thousand with a differential of 23 percent neutrophils and 0 percent bands. the hematocrit was 48.2 and platelet count was 392. the infant was begun on ampicillin and gentamicin; these were discontinued after 48 hours with a negative blood culture and overall benign clinical course. on day of life six an abrasion to the back of the right leg was noted with a small amount of surrounding erythema concerning for early cellulitis. sputum stain growth culture were sent; blood culture returned negative. infant was treated with five days of antibiotics initially with vancomycin and gentamicin and then with keflex with prompt resolution of the lesion. no further infectious disease issues were noted throughout the hospitalization. the infant was begun on iron after reaching full feeds and continues on supplemental iron at the time of discharge. the last hematocrit was on and was 34 percent with a reticulocyte count of 2.6 percent. 1. neurology: the patient has had a normal neurologic examination throughout admission. a head ultrasound on day of life nine was normal. a repeat ultrasound on day of life 29 was also normal. initial ophthalmology examination on revealed immature retinas in zone 3; a follow up examination on revealed mature retinas without evidence of retinopathy. follow up was recommended in nine months. 1. other: the infant was noted to have developed two small hemangiomas over the course of hospitalization. one is on the scalp is the other is on the left leg. these are small hemangiomas approximately 1 to 3 mm in size and have not changed significantly during the hospitalization. 1. routine health care maintenance: the infant received hepatitis b vaccination on . the infant received the first dose of synagis on . the infant passed a hearing screen on . the infant passed a car seat placement test on . newborn screenings have been sent per protocol with the last one done on and have been unremarkable to date. 1. discharge physical examination: weight on was 2725 grams. general: the infant is a well developed premature infant in no distress. the infant is comfortable and active with examination. fontanelles are soft and flat. sutures are appropriately apposed. palate is intact. ears and nares are normal. red reflex is present bilaterally. lungs are clear to auscultation with minimal evidence of increased work of breathing. cardiac examination is regular rate and rhythm without murmur or gallops. abdomen is soft and nontender with active bowel sounds. a small umbilical hernia is present. genitalia was that of normal female without rash or lesions. hips and back are normal. tone and activity are appropriate. moro, grasp and suck reflexes are intact. two small hemangiomas are noted over the scalp and left leg. discharge medications: 1. vi-daylin 1 cc by mouth once a day. 2. fer-in- 0.2 cc by mouth once a day. discharge disposition: the infant is being discharged to care of parents. follow up will be with a visit two days after discharge and with a primary medical doctor visit three days after discharge. primary pediatrician is dr. at pediatrics. the following immunizations are recommended: 1. synagis rsv prophylaxis should be considered from through for infants who meet any of the following three criteria: 1) born at less than 32 weeks. 2) born between 32 and 35 weeks with two of the following risk factors: day care during rsv season, a smoker in the household, neuromuscular disease, airway abnormalities or school age sibling. 3) with chronic lung disease. 2. influenza immunization is recommended annually in the fall for all infants once they reach six months of age. before this age and for the first 24 months of the child's life immunization against influenza is recommended for household contacts and out of home care givers. discharge diagnoses: 1. prematurity at 31 5/7 weeks gestation. 2. respiratory distress syndrome, resolved. 3. sepsis evaluation, resolved. 4. left leg cellulitis, resolved. 5. hemangiomas of scalp and left leg. 6. apnea of prematurity, resolved. , md dictated by: medquist36 d: 11:53:26 t: 14:19:27 job#: Procedure: Continuous invasive mechanical ventilation for less than 96 consecutive hours Parenteral infusion of concentrated nutritional substances Insertion of endotracheal tube Enteral infusion of concentrated nutritional substances Non-invasive mechanical ventilation Other phototherapy Prophylactic administration of vaccine against other diseases Diagnoses: Single liveborn, born in hospital, delivered by cesarean section Need for prophylactic vaccination and inoculation against viral hepatitis Observation for suspected infectious condition Respiratory distress syndrome in newborn Neonatal jaundice associated with preterm delivery Primary apnea of newborn Other preterm infants, 1,500-1,749 grams Hemangioma of skin and subcutaneous tissue 31-32 completed weeks of gestation Cellulitis and abscess of leg, except foot Umbilical hernia without mention of obstruction or gangrene
history of present illness: the patient is a 59 year old female who suffers from insulin dependent diabetes, hyperlipidemia and chronic renal failure. she was found to have a pancreatic mass and was referred to dr. office for surgical management. she initially presented to her primary care physician after being evaluated for liver function tests which were initially found to be elevated and were felt to be due to the starting of lipitor. the statin was subsequently discontinued, however, the elevated lfts remained. on workup she had a right upper quadrant ultrasound and that revealed a mass in the head of the pancreas. this was done in when patient had no complaints of any abdominal symptoms. because of her history of chronic renal insufficiency, she was subjected to a ct scan without contrast that revealed a mass in the head of the pancreas as consistent with ultrasound findings. this mass appears to be necrotic and over 5 cm in size. there also appears to be pathologic retroperitoneal lymph nodes at the level of the pancreas. because of the limits of these studies, she subsequently, in , had an open mri which revealed a 7.4 x 5.2 cm mass in the region of the head of the pancreas with mild enhancement. there were also noted bilateral periaortic adenopathy inferior to and at the level of the renal veins. subsequent ct guided fine needle aspiration fracture was performed which was reported as positive for malignant cells consistent with adenocarcinoma. it was at this point that she was referred to for further management and second opinion. review of systems: essentially patient was always in her usual state of health, although she noted slight fatigue over the past several months, but attributed this to her chronic renal insufficiency and her diabetic status. she is also chronically anemic. she denied history of fever, chills, night sweats, weight loss, cough, chest pain, shortness of breath, abdominal pain, change in bowel habits or change in her urine or stool color. there was no rash, jaundice or swollen lymph nodes. she had a very good appetite. it is of note that she is markedly obese. she also reported that she probably gained some weight in the last year. past medical history: as outlined above. allergies: she is reporting allergy to levaquin and intolerance to the statin class of medications. outpatient medications: include insulin, avapro, synthroid, metoprolol, lasix, erythropoietin. social history: she denied tobacco use and drank alcohol rarely. family history: there is no significant family history of cancer. hospital course: after thorough evaluation including more mr scans and extensive calls between dr. and the patient, she was admitted for a scheduled whipple procedure on the day of admission. on the day of admission patient was taken to the o.r. for a scheduled planned resection of pancreatic mass with whipple procedure. intraoperatively a large mass was found in the center of the pancreas. therefore, a central pancreatomy was performed with roux-en-y pancreaticojejunostomy and open cholecystectomy. blood loss was estimated at 500 cc and patient received 9 liters of crystalloid during the operation. she was moved to the pacu in stable condition, extubated. postoperatively patient made average 20 cc per hour in urine output. her systolic blood pressure was between 100 to 120 for several hours, which was lower than her baseline. she was bolused with normal saline for approximately 2 liters. on post-op day one she was transferred to the intensive care unit for management of her fluid status. over the next several days her renal function started to worsen. her creatinine increased from 3.4 to peak at 5.4 on postoperative day six. renal service was consulted on postoperative day one and these findings were attributed to the transient hypoperfusion of the kidneys and with proper fluid management, her creatinine has been stable and trending down. she has remained afebrile and with her blood pressure returning to her baseline of 130s. she was successfully transferred to the floor on postoperative day eight. subsequently she started to pass flatus and her diet was gradually increased. she tolerated p.o. intake. her serum amylase was stable at 14. her amylase from the drain was also stable at 13 on postoperative day 12. her output from urine was adequate. there was approximately 130 cc of fluid draining from her drain on postoperative day 12. given that she was tolerating p.o. intake well, the drain was discontinued on and her foley was also discontinued on the same day. she continued to improve physically. by the day of discharge she was able to ambulate with a walker. she took an adequate amount of p.o. intake. of note, on postoperative days one to six she was in the intensive care unit and tpn was initiated for three days to increase her nutritional status, which was subsequently discontinued one day after she was transferred to the floor. given that she tolerated the procedure well and recovered well, she is discharged to home with vna services. according to the renal service recommendations, she was discharged without an ace inhibitor. discharge medications: 1. dilaudid 1 mg q.four to six hours as needed. 2. tums one tablet t.i.d. 3. reglan 10 mg q.six hours p.r.n. 4. levothyroxine 75 mcg q.day. 5. metoprolol 25 mg b.i.d. 6. epogen 10,000 units three times per week. her insulin regimen was initiated by the jocelin consulting service with glargine 36 units q.bed time and humalog sliding scale to cover her daily need for insulin. pathology findings from the samples taken intraoperatively showed an endocrine cell neoplasm on the pancreas sample. there was no invasion with free margins of tumor. the tumor expressed cytokeratin and also expressed glucagon and also synaptophasin. it does not express chromogranin gastrin insulin or somatostatin. condition on discharge: good. discharge status: to home with services. , m.d.

hospital day two, the patient was brought to the operating room where he underwent coronary artery bypass grafting times three. please see the operative report for full details. in summary, the patient had coronary artery bypass graft times three with a left internal mammary artery to the left anterior descending artery, and saphenous vein graft to 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 had a mean arterial pressure of 79, a central venous pressure of 16. he was in a normal sinus rhythm at 82 beats per minute. he had an arterial line and a central venous pressure catheter, two atrial pacing wires, two mediastinal, and a left pleural chest tube. at the time of transfer, the patient's only intravenous medication was a neo-synephrine drip. in the immediate postoperative period the patient did well. he was weaned off of all vasoactive drugs. his anesthesia was reversed. he was weaned from the ventilator and extubated shortly after arrival to the cardiothoracic intensive care unit. he remained hemodynamically stable overnight, and on the morning of postoperative day he was transferred from the intensive care unit to far six for continuing postoperative care and cardiac rehabilitation. on postoperative day two, the patient had an episode of atrial fibrillation with a ventricular response rate of 90 to 100 beats per minute. he maintained a blood pressure of about 100/70 during these episodes. he was treated initially with lopressor and was subsequently started on oral amiodarone, after which he converted to a normal sinus rhythm. on postoperative day three, the patient experienced an episode of confusion following the administration of percocet. as part of the workup for his confusion, he was seen by the psychiatry service who thought it was postoperative delirium, and he had a head ct which was read as negative, and he had a negative metabolic workup as well. he has had no further episodes of confusion since the narcotics were discontinued. over the next two postoperative days the patient remained hemodynamically stable. he was deemed to be ready for discharge to home on postoperative day five. condition at discharge: at

review of hospital course by system. in general, mr. arrived at with increasing sob/doe, tx for acute exacerbation of chf, and t/f to for further care. in icu, con't resp failure, intubated and tx for copd, chf, pna, afib, glycemic control, htn and renal issues. on day 7, mr. developed arf, a lactic acidosis, increased ventilatory needs and worsening hemodynamic status. an abdominal us was neg and kub gave no evidence. he developed increased abdominal girth, and it was decided to take him for ex-lap for sepsis, increased abdominal girth, arf and lactic acidosis for possible gut ischemia/infarct. upon exploration, a retroperitoneal hematoma was discovered and evacuated, a large adhesed periaortic ln was excised and sent to path (found to be paraganglioma) along with the the ligated and a iatrogenic slenic lac controlled. post operatively, the patient remained in icu setting on the vent. renal function slowly resumed. he developed a klebsiella pneumonia which was treated w/ appropriate abx. he had difficulty weening from vent and was thus trached. nutrition was maintained w/ tf's and a peg placed. lastly access via picc was established. post op his neuro status improved and on d/c is a/o and following commands. his hospital course included ed eval and tx at , ccu, micu and ultimately the tsicu b/f d/c. neuro: throughout hospital stay, pt was sedated appropriately for ventilation and analgesia was maintained as appropriate. throughout his stay, neuro checks proved a waxing and type picture with propofol for sedation, and haldol for agitation as per the micu team. overall, his neuro status improved throughout with improvement of other medical issues. cv: pt had new issue of atrial fibrillation. during micu stay needed pressors of da and levophed to maintain bp on at same time became olguric and septic as described. this recovered post-operatively. he experienced a bump in tni, likely due to demand ischemia. he was properly anticoagulated and rate controlled with dilt. around day 13-14, per chart review, he reverted back to nsr and was continued on b-, , bp meds, asa and statin. he has runs of htn which responded well to bp meds including metop, hydralazine and clonidine. postoperatively he remained stable on his rx and had no further issues. pulm: with the initiating cc of sob/doe pt was treated for chf exacerbation with lasix, nitro, nebs and t/f to . here he was intubated for increased resp distress, given iv steroids and nebs for copd, diuresed for chf, and started emperically on vanco/zosyn for pna after pan cx. he continued to remain on the vent throughout his stay, with varying vent support. a klebsiella pna was discovered on bal, and tx w/ 2 week course of meropenam. a trach was performed on due to continued vent needs. on d/c he remains on cpap + ps(12) with tv 550, rate 30, fio2 40%, and peep 5. the last week of admission, the patient developed a pleural effusion and 2.5l of fluid that did not grow organisms. this improved resp status and did not recur. gi/fen: pt's fluid and electrolytes were replaced/maintained throughout his hospital stay. early diuresis for chf was aggressive and preceeded arf. pt was given a peg on and continues to receive tf at goal of 65. the question of possible bowel ischemia proved untrue with the ex-lap, but findings as described above. prior to the or he received a abd us, only showing cholelithiasis w/o cholecystitis and nl portal flow. heme/id: pt was treated emperically early in the course for pna with vancomycin and zosyn. he was afebrile but had increased wbc count of 47.9, 29% pmns. throughout his stay, abx included flagyl, linezolid and fluconazole. yeast grew in the urine, blood cx were neg, the pt remained mrsa and c.diff neg, but did grow klebsiella found on sputum and bal, treated with 2 weeks of meropenam ending on the day of d/c. pt had bouts w/ fever, though has been stable and afebrile on d/c. gu/renal: as described, on day 7, pt experienced arf and was evaluated by renal. arf was from atn secondary to decreased renal perfusion from hypotension and retroperitoneal bleed. over the hospital stay this improved and remains

paraganglioma retroperitoneal hematoma discharge condition: good discharge instructions: during your hospital stay, you were treated for acute exacerbation of congestive heart failure and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. during your stay you suffered acute renal failure and had to go to surgery for a retroperitoneal hematoma. in the surgery, a large lymph node surrounding your aorta was removed, an artery called the inferior mesenteric artery was tied off in the process, and a small laceration to your spleen occurred and was repaired without complication. the lymph node was described by pathology as a paraganglioma, a type of extra-adrenal tumor. the endocrinologists were unable to definitively diagnose this mass in the setting of your acute illness, and it is suggested that you follow up with this as an outpatient after you rehabilitiation. in your recovery, you have had a pneumonia that has been treated with antibiotics. in addition, it has been difficult to ween your breathing off of the ventilator. consequently, you will be going to a vent rehabilitation center to help you recover and breath without the ventilator. following completion of vent rehab, you will follow up with both the trauma surgery service and with the vascular surgery service as listed below. please continue all medications that you are discharged on as listed below, and continue any home medications that you were on prior to hospital admission once you return home. if you experience any worrisome symptoms including increased shortness of breath or trouble breathing, chest pain, fever, chills, severe abdominal or back pain, or anything else that worries you please seek medical attention. followup instructions: 1. trauma surgery: please call and arrange an appointment for 1-2 weeks. 2. vascular surgery: please call and arrange an appointment with dr. in 2 weeks. 3. endocrinology: please call and arrange an appointment in weeks.

history of present illness: this is an 84-year-old female with a past medical history of hypertension, vascular disease, increased cholesterol, laryngeal carcinoma 10 years ago, status post laryngectomy, cervical carcinoma status post tah, angina and appendectomy, who presented to emergency room on . she was transferred from hospital. this whole issue started on when patient presented to hospital for an ischemic right fifth toe. the patient had at that time bilateral iliac stenting. she left the procedure with suprapubic hematoma. she received three units of packed red blood cells and 6 units of platelets and she was discharged home on . the patient was noted to be lethargic over the subsequent days and returned to hospital on . when she got to hospital she was anemic with hematocrit of 24 and thrombocytopenic with a platelet count of 25,000. she received two units of packed red blood cells and 6 units of platelets and she continued to have low counts. hematology was consulted at that point and ldh was increased. the patient was transferred t on for further management of a presumed ttp. on she complained of left hand numbness, paresthesias and a left sided facial droop that lasted 15 minutes, which resolved on its own. neuro consult felt tia was the most likely cause with right mca territory. cat scan of the head was negative. mri and mra demonstrated atherosclerotic changes of intracranial carotids, right greater than left, but no stroke. mrs. began plasmapheresis on , though during her first episode she developed hypotension with systolic blood pressure to the 80's, responded to fluid boluses and she was also hypocalcemic at the time. therefore, patient was transmitted to the micu where plasmapheresis continued there. on she completed a course of plasmapheresis, her platelets had maxed at 238,000 and her ldh was 271. she needed plasmapheresis again on for decreasing platelets, increasing ldh and decreasing haptoglobin. subsequently on she developed a fever to 101. she was cultured and blood cultures grew coag negative staph aureus four bottles and the patient was started on vancomycin. she had a line exchange on . during that time her platelet count was decreasing and there was a question of infection vs dic and hit. she had an hit positive antibody at that time. plasmapheresis continued through the right subclavian catheter placed by ir with completion of plasmapheresis on the . physical examination: she had temperature 98.9, blood pressure 150/70, pulse 85, respirations 20, 95% on room air. she was in no apparent distress. she was normocephalic, atraumatic, equal ocular movements intact. chest clear to auscultation. cardiovascular showed a regular rate and rhythm, normal s1 and s2, no murmurs, rubs or gallops. abdomen was benign. extremities, no clubbing, cyanosis or edema but there was a large ecchymoses in the right groin area. neuro, she is alert and oriented times three, cranial nerves ii through xii grossly intact, muscle strength 5/5 throughout. back without tenderness. past medical history: as previously noted. she has hypertension, vascular disease, increased cholesterol, laryngeal carcinoma 10 years ago, status post laryngectomy, cervical cancer status post total abdominal hysterectomy, angina status post epi. medications: on admission, meclizine 25 mg once a day, atenolol 50 mg once a day, iron 325 mg tid and lipitor 10 mg once a day. allergies: no known drug allergies. laboratory data: she had a white count of 8.3, hematocrit 29.9, platelet count 35, pt 13.6, ptt 26 and inr 1.1, d dimer greater than 1,000, ftp between 10 and 40, sma 10 was within normal limits. head ct on the was negative. head ct on showed no acute blood. hospital course: partially stated during hpi, patient was admitted on to from hospital. the patient had a hematocrit of 29.9 and platelet count 35 and white appeared to be a tia, so it was believed that patient was suffering from ttp. the patient developed a plasmapheresis on at which point she became hypotensive with systolic blood pressure to the 80's and hypocalcemia. therefore, patient was transferred to the micu where she tolerated plasmapheresis very well. the patient's platelets came up to 238,000, ldh came down to 271 on , though it was noted that the patient's platelets were decreasing again. ldh was rising and haptoglobin was low. the patient restarted plasmapheresis on . on subsequent exam on , the patient developed a fever to 101.5 with coag negative staph in bottles from the blood. she was started on vancomycin and her line was exchanged on . when patient had a fever on and the line needed exchanging, the patient was sent to the on the . the patient received right subclavian and continued on vancomycin for one week. a new line was placed on . during that time there was question of infection and dic vs hit. the patient had hit positive lab test results. patient had good renal function throughout the whole hospitalization. creatinine ranged from 0.9 to 1.1. some time on the floor the patient had one episode of chest tightness that resolved with nitroglycerin. cardiology consult believed this to be demand ischemia with minor st-t changes. troponin maxed at 1.7 and patient was treated with increased beta blockers. at that time patient was not a candidate for aspirin therapy. the patient completed plasmapheresis on for a total of 25 sessions of plasmapheresis. upon discharge the patient's platelets normalized at 298,000, ldh remained within the normal limits. the patient was discharged home with home services. condition on discharge: patient is stable at discharge. discharge medications: calcitrol 0.25 mcg q day, insulin sliding scale, prednisone taper, atenolol 100

to levofloxacin sputum: beta strep . imaging: cxr: there is consolidation in the left lower lobe with marked leftward displacement of the mediastinum and elevation of the left hemidiaphragm suggesting complete or almost complete atelectasis of the left lower lobe. there are no other consolidations or masses. there is no sizeable pleural effusion. the heart size is normal. the mediastinal contours are unremarkable. revision of the recent pet/ct and ct abdomen demonstrates intermittent obstruction of the left lower lobe segmental bronchi with subsequent atelectasis. given this intermittent nature of the radiological findings and absence of any endobronchial obstructing lesion on the pet/ct from , , recurrent aspirations are the most likely diagnosis. . ct abdomen and pelvis: impression: 1. increase in abundant ascites. 2. left lower lobe consolidation is likely pneumonia, but pulmonary infarct is a consideration given presence of possible left lower lobe pulmonary embolus. 3. left lower lobe thrombus that is either within the pulmonary arteries or veins. brief hospital course: this is 59 year-old man with hep c cirrhosis s/p liver transplant 10 months ago complicated by recurrent hep c and chronic rejection who presented with abdmonial pain and was found to have severe spontaneous bacterial peritonitis. . due to pt's ill-appearance, and severe sbp, he was admitted to micu for further care and monitering. . while in the micu the patient was started on aztreonam, linezolid, flagyl and levoquin to cover sbp and a possible pneumonia. his antibiotic regimen was changed to vancomycin, levofloxacin, and flagyl when he was found to have group b streptococci growing from peritoneal culture. mr abdominal pain improved rapidly with antibiotic therapy as well as a therapeutic paracentesis. the gbs was found to be sensitive to levoquin and he was eventually transitioned to levoquin monotherapy and was discharged to finish a 14 day course with subsuquent ciprofloxacin sbp prophylaxis. . additionally mr. was briefly hypoxic in the micu (wich resolved). ct scan revealed a question of lll pneumonia versus pulmonary embolus versus atelectasis. the radiologists subsuquent discussions with the primary team indicated that the ct appearance was more consistent with atelectasis and mr. hypoxia resolved without heparin therapy. . mr. is 10 months s/p liver transplant and has both chronic rejection as well as reactivation of his hepatitis c. he was on treatment with interferon and ribavirin for his hepatitis c on admission in addition to his immunosuppressive regimen. he was admitted with an acute rise in his lfts over baseline most likely secondary to his rejection and hcv. his hepatitis c treatment had to be discontinued due to his acute illness, and it was difficult to increase his immunosuppressants to treat rejection due to his reactivation of hepatitis c. he was continued on his home regimen of rapamune, prednisone, and ursidiol. he was not encephalopathic in house and did not require lactulose. . mr also suffered from portal hypertension with resultant chronic ascites and lower extremity edema that were quite symptomatic. his diuretics were originally held in house due to his illness and concern for potentially initiating renal failure in his infected state. he was maintainted on a low sodium diet with one therapeutic paracentesis, which he tolerated. when he clinically improved from an infectious standpoint; lasix 40 and spironolactone 100 were reintroduced without significant renal dysfunction. . mr also received the standard care of a ppi; insulin to treat his diabetes, electrolyte repletion, heparin prophylaxis, nutritional input and physical therapy. . ultimately with regards to his chronic liver failure and difficult to manage ascites the patient initiated conversations with dr. and the hepatology team about his overall prognosis and therapeutic options. because of his ill health and particularly because he was found to have lymphoma in his explanted liver he is not a candidate for a second liver transplant. mr. decided he would prefer to therefore direct the remainder of his medical care to comfort measures. with the palliative care service along with the social workers were very involved in setting up hospice care for the patient at home and he was discharged with that goal in mind. . discharge medications: 1. oxycodone 5 mg tablet sig: six (6) tablet po q4h (every 4 hours) as needed. 2. ursodiol 300 mg capsule sig: two (2) capsule po bid (2 times a day). 3. folic

history of present illness: this is a 66 year-old severely mentally retarded male who is quadriplegic and blind who was transferred from the intensive care unit at hospital to the here at for an endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography to treat a 1 cm common bile duct stone. a brief summary of the hospital course at is as follows; the patient was admitted to hospital on after developing nausea, vomiting and fever to 101 degrees. in the emergency department there he was tachycardic, tachypneic and febrile with a distended abdomen. at that time the patient was found to be in atrial fibrillation at 127 beats per minute. his inr was found to be supratherapeutic and his coumadin was initially held. the patient was also found to have no output through his ileostomy and a plain film of the abdomen showed air filled large and small bowel proximal to the descending colon raising the question of a bowel obstruction. a ct scan showed an edematous gallbladder with wall thickening and a right upper quadrant ultrasound showed a possible stone at the base of the gallbladder with dilation of the duct to 1 cm. the patient was placed on levaquin and clindamycin at this time. the patient also experienced respiratory failure after having a great deal of difficulty with secretion clearance, he desaturated further requiring a nonrebreather mask and at that time a chest x-ray showed complete opacification of the left hemithorax. at that time the patient was transferred to the intensive care unit at hospital, briefly intubated after discussions with the patient's brother . cultures were negative at that time. over the next several days his respiratory status improved and the patient was continued on 40% aerosol mask. the patient eventually underwent mrcp at hospital revealing 1 cm common bile duct stone. at this time the patient was transferred to for further management. past medical history: 1. atrial fibrillation with an ef in the 50s. 2. status post myocardial infarction. 3. severe mental retardation. 4. quadriplegia. 5. subtotal colectomy with ileorectal anastomosis. 6. hepatitis b carrier. 7. gastroesophageal reflux disease. 8. hiatal hernia. 9. kyphosis.

patient has been in the care of the state for sometime. his brother is his health care proxy. the brother has designated that the patient's code status shall be dnr/dni. physical examination on admission: temperature 98.1. heart rate 63. pressure 134/48. oxygen saturation 96% on face tent 80%. general lying in bed in no acute distress. heent no rash or icterus. lungs limited air movement, low bronchial sounds. heart s1, s2 without murmurs, rubs or gallops. abdomen soft, nontender, nondistended with hyperactive bowel sounds with no rebound or guarding. extremities contracted extremities without clonus. neurological nonverbal quadriplegic. laboratories on admission: white cell 10.8, hematocrit 37.4, platelets 276, inr 1.3, sodium 143, potassium 3.9, bun 13, creatinine 0.6, glucose 68, ast 42, alt 62, alkaline phosphatase 138, bili 1.3, amylase 77. hospital course: this is a 66 year-old severely mentally retarded quadriplegic blind male with multiple medical problems including atrial fibrillation who is admitted to the fiu from an outside hospital for endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography and common bile duct stone removal. 1. common bile duct obstruction: the patient was kept npo prior to the procedure and underwent an endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography on . a biliary sphinchterotomy was performed. the 1 cm stone was extracted and the bile duct was subsequently swept with a balloon catheter and an occlusion cholangiogram revealed no further concretion in the bile duct. the patient was continued on unasyn intravenously for several days. the patient was kept npo after the procedure and tube feeds were gradually restarted in the a.m. the patient will return to state on a seven day course of augmentin. the patient can follow up with dr. as needed. 2. bowel obstruction/ileus: in the end the patient was felt likely to have an ileus relating to irritation from the common bile duct stone. at no time did he appear toxic with respect to his gastrointestinal tract. he tolerated the endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography procedure well. on he was gradually restarted on his tube feedings. 3. pneumonia: it is unclear whether the patient had a pneumonia at hospital or whether he acutely desated from mucous plug requiring intubation. he received antibiotic coverage there for a pneumonia, however, this was not continued at . here he sated in the high 90s on 40% face tent. he did occasionally desat, but responded to aggressive suctioning. it is likely that his oxygen requirement will go down as he recovers from the acute insult of both the common bile duct stone and the sedating medication used during the procedure. 4. atrial fibrillation: the patient apparently has had several episodes of atrial fibrillation in the past with rates to the 120s. at the patient was well controlled on lopressor 25 b.i.d., however, he did appear to remain in atrial fibrillation. recommend continuation of this previously effected and well tolerated medication. the patient's anticoagulation was held for his endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography procedure. on the patient was restarted on his home doses of coumadin to bring his inr back up into the therapeutic range of 2.02 to 3.0. given the patient's reported history of an myocardial infarction the patient may benefit from a baby aspirin a day and also from an ace inhibitor. 5. dermatology: on the patient was noted to have a macular red beefy lesions in his groin, thought to be candidiasis. the patient was started on clotrimazole cream b.i.d. 6. nutrition: on the patient was restarted on gentle tube feeding with his goal to be 60 cc per hour of osmolite hn as he was on at state. 7. code status: during this hospitalization the patient's brother decided it would be appropriate for the patient's code status to be dnr/dni. this was briefly waved both for his acute intubation at hospital as well as for the endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography procedure. this concludes dictation on this patient for the dates through , dictated by: medquist36 Procedure: Venous catheterization, not elsewhere classified Parenteral infusion of concentrated

for elective pulmonary vein isolation/atrial fibrillation ablation. . patient underwent atrial fibrillation ablation on that was initially successful in converting patient to nsr. however, procedure was complicated by technical difficulties, including new onset pericardial effusion thought to be due to perforation of the posterior/septal wall of left atrium during the procedure. therefore the patient was admitted to the ccu for monitering. the patient was initially in a lot of chest pain following the procedure, which via evaluation was felt secondary to his pericarditis from the procedure and the effusion. this resolved quickly during his hospital course. his pulses and hemodynamics were monitered closely and remained stable. repeat echo's initially demonstrated no change in the size of his effusion, and with his stable hemodynamics, it was felt that his effusion was stable. . however, 2 days following admission, the patient's clinical status changed and he began having transient episodes of hypotension. at this time, he was also noted to have a nearly 10 point hct drop, and had returned again from nsr, which he had been in since his pulmonary vein isolation, to atrial fibrillation/atrial flutter. ep was notified of the patient's return to atrial fibrillation/flutter and opted to start the patient on sotalol, which was titrated up to 120mg po bid by time of discharge. he was also intermittently given diltiazem (po and iv) for rate control. to work up his hct drop and associated transient episodes of hypotension, a femoral artery ultrasound was performed on the patient's femoral arteries bilaterally, which were negative. his stool was guiaced for blood, which was negative. he had an abdominal/pelvis ct scan to rule out a retroperitoneal bleed which was negative. he also underwent another echo after this hct drop was noticed, which demonstrated a 25% increase in the pericardial effusion, no evidence of tamponade, and patient's pulses remained stable at this time. therefore the patient was brought to the cath lab for a pericardiocentesis with drain placement, and successfully underwent drainage of 1 liter of sanguinous fluid from the pericardial sac prior to removal of his pericardial drain. his hct was monitered tid during this time, and remained stable with small amounts of fluctuation. a repeat echo performed following removal of the pericardiocentesis drain, prior to discharge, demonstrating no re-accumulation of his pericardial effusion. the patient's hemodynamics and pulses remained stable. . therefore the patient was re-started on his coumadin with lovenox bridge (given high incidence of clot formation following pulmonary vein isolation) and discharged on sotalol 120mg with instructions to follow up at his primary care physician's office 1 day and 3 days after discharge for both hct checks (to ensure were stable) and inr checks, then follow up as his pcp . he was also instructed to follow up with his cardiologist 1 week following discharge. . of note, the patient's blood sugars were noted to be elevated throughout hospital course. per patient, he stated that he was told that his blood sugar was high prior, by his pcp, that attempts at dietary and exercise modifications were made. given the patient's values of non-fasting glucose greater than 200, the patient meets criteria for likely type 2 diabetes mellitus. management of this was deferred as an inpatient given the patient's other medical conditions described above, but this should be addressed in the outpatient setting, and consideration should be made of starting an oral hypoglycemic . medications on admission: coumadin 7.5mg po qd (last dose ) atenolol 25mg flexoril 10mg prn discharge medications: 1. pantoprazole 40 mg

allergies: cephalosporins attending: chief complaint: transfer from osh major surgical or invasive procedure: tracheoplasty tracheostomy history of present illness: 69m with severe tracheobronchial malacia transferred from osh for evaluation for possible surgical intervention for definitive tracheal modification. patient was initially admitted from home to osh (, nh) for fatigue, dehydration and several week h/o daily diarrhea and transferred to . prior to his admission on , the patient was at a rehab facility from early to where he was being treated for a pna with vancomycin and for a uti with ciprofloxacin. given recent courses of antibiotics, patient was treated empirically with flagyl for possible c.diff, but this was later d/c'd when stool cultures returned negative for c. diff x1. diarrhea resolved during most of his hospitalization in , but restarted one day prior to transfer. patient reports that he has been having a non-productive cough at home associated with worsening shortness of breath. he denied fevers and chills. no associated cp/palpitations/n/v/diaphoresis. cxr and chest ct at osh revealed new r pleural effusion, but no evidence of infiltrate suggestive of pna. patient was s/p diagnostic thoracentesis . preliminiary results: glucose 68, ldh 1106, tprot 5.4. thoracentesis was complicated by afib with rvr that was rate controlled with diltiazem. patient later spontaneously converted to sinus rhythm. on transfer to , patient with no specific complaints. reported that respiratory status was close to baseline, but perhaps a little worse. he felt

removed. the trachea above the carina shows narrowing. there are bilateral small pleural effusions. there is also pleural thickening along the lateral chest wall. the lungs are clear. there is slight asymmetric aeration of the lungs, which may be due to air-trapping. impression: bilateral small pleural effusions, right greater, and narrowing of the distal trachea. . brief hospital course: 69m with severe tracheobronchial malacia here for surgical evaluation. #. tracheobronchial malacia- awaiting eval and input from dr. and dr. . per ip 2 tracheobronchial metal stents were placed on , initially thought stents would improve breathing. stents were followed with serial cxr and chest ct which showed no migration or stents. however, pt had persistent cough without releif with atrovent nebs, lidocaine ih, and guafenesin. on metal stents were removed per ip for symptomatic relief of persistent cough. ct followed pt throughout course of hospitalization. atrovent nebs qid, ativan qhs, guaifenesin prn, and lidocaine nebs prn per respiratory were continued. : patient was transferred to the thoracic surgery service and underwent a tracheoplasty for his tracheobronchial malacia. postoperatively, he was transferred to the icu intubated. he was restarted on his heparin drip immediately postoperatively. he remained stable overnight and was given intermittent fluid for low blood pressures. pain was controlled using an epidural. pod #1-bronchoscopy was performed on pod #1 and the patient was extubated. on the evening of pod #1, patient became less alert with desaturations despite supplemental oxygen. his creatinine also increased despite gentle fluid resuscitation. anesthesia was called for increasing desaturations and the patient was reintubated at the bedside without complication. pod #2-patient maintained on mechanical ventilation, remained stable throughout the day. pod #3-patient stable on a low neosynephrine drip. he went back to the operating room for an uncomplicated tracheostomy. postoperatively, patient was noted to be unresponsive despite weaning of his anesthetics as well as hypoxic to the low 80's despite mechanical ventilation via his tracheostomy. he experienced episodes of ventricular tachycardia treated with amiodarone and lidocaine. laboratory values at this time demonstrated the patient to be severely acidemic with a bicarbonate of 16 as well as an arterial ph of 7.12. the patient was given bicarbonate supplementation and aggressively ventilated. at this time, the patient remained unresponsive with unequal pupils on exam. he continued to deteriorate with decreasing urine output, continuing acidemia, and elevated transaminases to >1000. a swan ganz catheter was placed at the bedside and the patient's pulmonary artery pressures were noted to be markedly elevated. a stat echocardiogram was performed at the bedside for a presumed pulmonary embolism which demonstrated a dilated, hypokinetic rv. a lactate performed at this time reached it's peak at 9.5. general surgery was consulted for question of ischemic bowel as well as renal for a decreasing urine output. neurology was also consulted for questionable seizure activity. the patient did eventually stabilize hemodynamically and underwent a head, chest and abdominal ct scan. a preliminary read demonstrated a large r sided pulmonary embolism. the patient was started on tpa and managed supportively for his low blood pressure and acidosis. he was maintained on maximal pressor support as well as mechanical ventilation with continuing acidemia. in discussion with the patient's family, the patient was withdrawn from mechanical ventilation as well as pressor support on the evening of pod #3. the patient expired with his family at the bedside. #. id: pt had initially been started on vanc for preop empiric treatment on . of note, urine culture was positive for mrsa at osh. given lack of leukocytosis and fever, patient was thought to be colonized and was not initially treated. however, on ua was +for uti, uculture w/enterobacter and staph aureus, so vanc was continued for enterobacter uti. levo/flagyl was started on for empiric treatment of asp pna. although video swallow study was neg for aspiration, pt aspirated x2 and was continued on levo/flagyl. on pt spiked to 102.7 in setting of levo/flagyl/vanc already on board, repeat cxr did not show consolidation, ua improved from previous ua. id was consulted for further evaluation of persistent fevers in setting of abx coverage. on usensitivities came back for vre

stable, discharged in sinus rhythm. . 1) rhythm the patient was admitted to the ccu s/p pulmonary vein isolation. during the procedure the patient developed persistent afib refractory to dc cardioversion. intravenous ibutilide successfully converted the patiene to normal sinus rhythm, however he then began to have bradycardia to the 40's, accelerated idioventricular rhythm, and prolonged qt interval. coronary sinus lead was kept in place and he was atrially paced @ 80 bpm overnight. the patient developed a new new right bundle branch block in v4-v6 that was unrelated to pacing. the pacer wire was discontinued the following morning without incident, and the patient remained in sinus rhythm prior to discharge. the rbbb will be followed by the patient's primary cardiologist. his diltiazem was discontinued as a result of his successful conversion to sinus rhythm. no other changes were made to his medication regimen. he was discharged to home on his regular dose of coumadin for follow-up pt/inr with his regular coumadin clinic. he will see his primary cardiologist, dr. , this month for a follow-up evaluation. . 2) ischemia the patient does not have a history of myocardial infarction. serial ekg's did not reveal ischemic changes. serial cardiac enzymes were within normal limits. he was chest pain free. he was continued on his home dosages of aspirin and simvastatin. . 3) hypothyrodism we continued his oupatient dosage of levothyroxine for follow-up tsh monitoring as needed by the patient's primary providers. . 4) anemia the patient had a decrease in hematrocrit from 39.5-35 the morning after admission. this was likely secondary to procedure related blood loss and dilution with iv hydration. stool guaiacs were negative. medications on admission: levothyroxine

the pupils are equal, round, and reactive to light and accommodation. extraocular movements are full. funduscopic examination is normal. visual fields are full. face moves symmetrically as well as palatal elevation. tongue protrudes midline. facial sensation is intact. motor - bulk, tone and power are normal throughout. there is minimal left drift though unclear. reflexes are 2+ and symmetric. plantar reflexes are flexor. sensation is intact to touch, pin prick, temperature and proprioception throughout. coordination - finger to nose is sloppy on the left. finger tap is slow on the left. rapid alternating movement is also slow. heel to shin is difficult to ascertain for old hip injury on the right. laboratory data: mr imaging - there is a diffusion restriction in the right parietal lobe in apparent relenting fashion. mra reveals an occluded left carotid artery with some collateralization in the left mca distribution. the right carotid appears to be diseased but no appreciable flow compromise. hospital course: the patient presents with what is most consistent with an acute ischemic insult leaving some weakness on the right arm. formal strength testing was unremarkable though coordination reveals some weakness. taking together the presentation is very concerning for symptomatic right carotid disease. further evaluation reveals 60 to 70% stenosis of the right internal carotid. transesophageal echocardiography was also performed to evaluate for possible cardiac source of emboli. this did not reveal evidence of thrombus, however, there is a small patent foramen ovale appreciated. based upon these findings, the patient was started on more aggressive antiplatelet regimen including aspirin and plavix. however, the patient's course deteriorated while in house and he experienced another episode of left arm weakness and on examination he had severe weakness of the finger extensors and interossei of the left hand. his triceps and deltoids were also weak on the left. he was started on heparin drip. transcortical doppler revealed intermittent emboli arising from the right carotid stenotic atherosclerosis. therefore, consultants further evaluated and recommended right carotid stenting which was done. he underwent stenting of the right internal carotid with good results. he initially required some pressor support in the intensive care unit but was quickly weaned successfully. his left arm weakness improved dramatically. he was started on a regimen of warfarin, plavix and aspirin. at the time of discharge, the patient was clinically markedly improved with better control of his left hand and arm. he continued to work with occupational therapy to help increase his manual dexterity on the left. we would anticipate that he will continue to make clinical improvement. condition on discharge: improved. discharge status: the patient was discharged home with follow-up and services. discharge diagnoses: 1. right parietal ischemic infarction. 2. symptomatic right internal carotid artery disease, status post successful stenting. secondary diagnoses: 1. hyperlipidemia. 2. diabetes mellitus. 3. hypertension. medications on discharge: 1. warfarin 2.5 mg p.o. once daily with an inr goal of 2.0 to 3.0> 2. glucovan 2.5/500 two tablets p.o. once daily. 3. plavix 75 mg p.o. once daily. 4. aspirin 325 mg p.o. once daily. 5. atorvastatin 40 mg p.o. once daily. follow-up: 1. the patient will follow-up with dr. in stroke/ clinic . 2, he will also follow-up with me in clinic . 3. he will follow-up with his primary care physician, . . 4. we have written a prescription for outpatient occupational therapy. , m.d. attending in neurology dictated by: medquist36 d: 10:43 t: 12:24 job#: Procedure: Other esophagoscopy Angioplasty of other non-coronary vessel(s) Arteriography of cerebral arteries Insertion of non-drug-eluting peripheral (non-coronary) vessel stent(s) Diagnoses: Pure hypercholesterolemia Unspecified essential hypertension Diabetes mellitus without mention of complication, type II or unspecified type, not stated as uncontrolled Hematoma complicating a procedure Other specified surgical operations and procedures causing abnormal patient reaction, or later complication, without mention of misadventure at time of operation Hemiplegia, unspecified, affecting unspecified side Occlusion and stenosis of carotid artery with cerebral infarction

biopsy was not performed as he is currently undergoing evaluation for gastrointestinal bleed and this can be re-evaluated at the time of next esophagogastroduodenoscopy. the patient then underwent colonoscopy on , which revealed diverticulosis of the sigmoid colon. there were large nonbleeding rectal veins and varices noted; otherwise normal colonoscopy to the cecum. there was no source clearly obtained from study. the patient was transfused to maintain hematocrit greater than 30. the plan was discussed regarding the possibility of performing capsule endoscopy, however, given the patient's reluctance for surgery, the decision was made to not pursue further work-up and to transfuse only as needed. the patient remained hemodynamically stable with a normal hematocrit. 2. hematology: the patient with a long standing pancytopenia seen evidenced one year ago. he also had acute blood loss anemia as described above. reticulocyte count was performed which revealed an appropriate bone marrow response to ongoing anemia with a reticulocyte index of only 1.5. his platelets remained low but as he had stopped bleeding, he did not require any platelet transfusions. he was not on any heparin products. pt really is against invasive aproach and it was felt that even if aggressive w/u including bone marrow bx, the likelyhood of finding a reversible cause was very unlikely so no further w/u will be pursue. 3. infectious disease: on , the patient spiked a fever to 103.3 f. urinalysis was positive for trace leukocytes, 11 to 20 white blood cells, moderate bacteria with zero to two white blood cell casts, so he was started on levofloxacin 250 mg p.o. q. day times seven day course. he was not on a foley catheter. chest x-ray, blood cultures and urine cultures were obtained prior to initiating antibiotics. blood cultures ultimately revealed staphylococcus aureus. the patient was initially started on vancomycin until the sensitivities returned showing methicillin sensitive staphylococcus aureus and he was changed to oxacillin to complete a two week course. he had a transesophageal echocardiogram which showed no evidence of endocarditis and the decision was made not to pursue a transesophageal echocardiogram given that he is clinically stable. his urine culture initially came showing fecal contamination. a repeat urine culture sent after initiation of levofloxacin ultimately showed no growth. he was given a picc line and sent to rehabilitation for intravenous oxacillin times a two week course. 4. cardiovascular system: the patient has a history of coronary artery disease with coronary artery bypass graft, diastolic dysfunction. his aspirin was held given the bleed. his beta blocker was also held given the bleed, however, it was restarted on discharge to rehabilitation. 5. renal: the patient was admitted with a creatinine of 3.0, however, with intravenous fluids, creatinine improved and ultimately he was discharged with a creatinine of 1.1, below baseline. discharge diagnoses: 1. melena. 2. anemia secondary to blood loss. 3. acute renal failure, prerenal. 4. cirrhosis of liver, alcoholic. 5. esophageal varices, grade i. 6. methicillin sensitive staphylococcus aureus bacteremia. 7. pancytopenia. 8. leukopenia. 9. thrombocytopenia. 10. chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. 11. gout. 12. diastolic congestive heart failure. discharge medications: 1. acetaminophen p.r.n. 2. pantoprazole 40 mg p.o. q. 12 hours. 3. maalox p.r.n. 4. ambien p.r.n. 5. oxycodone p.r.n. gout pain. 6. albuterol inhaler q. six hours. 7. levofloxacin 250 mg p.o. q. 24 hours, last dose 06/09, for a seven day course. 8. lactulose 30 mg p.o. q. day. 9. lasix 20 mg p.o. twice a day. 10. spironolactone 25 mg p.o. twice a day. 11. colchicine 0.6 mg p.o. q. day. 12. oxacillin two grams intravenously q. six hours times 14 days, with last dose . 13. metoprolol 50 mg p.o. twice a day. 14. 20 meq p.o. q. day. , m.d. dictated by: medquist36 d: 17:44 t: 20:44 job#: Procedure: Venous catheterization, not elsewhere classified Other endoscopy of small intestine Colonoscopy Injection of antibiotic Other irrigation of (naso-)gastric tube Diagnoses: Alcoholic cirrhosis of liver Acute kidney failure, unspecified Iron deficiency anemia secondary to blood loss (chronic) Chronic airway obstruction, not elsewhere classified Bacteremia Blood in stool Diastolic heart failure, unspecified

illness: 77 yo old male with pmh significant for dm, htn, high chol, cad s/p stents , chf, afib s/p ppm , ckd who presents to ed because of weakness and collapse at home. patient was found on admission to be febrile, tachypneic with rul pneumonia on chest film. patient complained of chronic cough with increasing sputum production. he denies fevers, chills, shortness of breath, chest pain. he denies any loss of consciousness or head trauma with falls. denies bowel or bladder incontinence or changes in function. denies any weight loss or changes in eating habits. no abd pain/n/v/d. no choking on food reported. patient was admitted and started on ceftriaxone and azithromycin for cap which was then changed to levoflox and flagyl as cxr showed ? evidence for aspiration pna. the patient since admission has remained tachypneic and hypoxic requiring o2 today. he needed a non-rebreather for some time but has since been titrated down. as the patient additionally has a history of chf, a repeat chest film was performed to evaluate for any component of congestion. although the film did not appear to be all that congested, the patient's pneumonia appeared to worsen, now a multilobar pneumonia involving the right upper and middle/lower lung fields. abg 7.43/37/54 at time of transfer to icu, he received 80 mg of lasix with minimal urinary output after 20 mg caused 250 cc of urine output earlier in the day. albuterol nebs with minimal improvement in o2 sat. pt was x-ferred to icu and started on bipap. see additional course below. past medical history: past medical

continued hypoxia and cxr concerning for aspiration event. the patient became more distressed with his respiratory state over the first 3 days of his hospitalization. it was felt that the most likely source of his resp distress was thought to be his rul pneumonia, perhaps with contribution from his diastolic chf. pe was considered but felt to be very low suspicion given xray findings, febrile state. although the film did not appear to be all that congested, the patient's pneumonia appeared to worsen to a multilobar pneumonia involving the right upper and middle/lower lung fields. the patient was found to be dangerously hypoxic on with increasing work of breathing. abg 7.43/37/54 at that time, patient received 80 mg of iv lasix with minimal urinary output. albuterol nebs resulted in minimal improvement in o2 sat. pt was x-ferred to icu and started on bipap. he was intubated due to continued respiratory distress (it was a difficult intubation). his abx was adjusted again to include vancomycin and levofloxacin to cover mrsa and cap. despite no cx data, it was felt the patient most likely had strep pneum. pneumonia due to clinical course. the pateint was liberated from ventilator slowly due to difficult airway issues and he was extubated on . his sputum culture from bal on showed 1000 oropharyngeal flora; all other cultures were negative. serial cxrs showed clearing of pneumonia. he was transferred to the floor on 4l nc on . he maintained excellent o2 sats and he was weaned to 2l upon discharge. he has been intermittently diuresed with lasix (20mg iv), but his cxrs have not shown congestion and the course of his respiratory status has closely followed that of his pneumonia. he has also received albuterol and atrovent nebs with improvement in his wheeze and dyspena. he has completed 12 days of vancomycin and levofloxacin, and they were continued upon discharge to finish a 14 day course for ? pneumococcal vs staph aureus pneumonia. the patient was given pneumococcal vaccine prior to discharge. no blood cx were positive. . 2. cad: his ekg showed a paced rhythm and old lbbb. he was without chest pain and had no signs of ischemia throughout his stay. cardiac enzymes were cycled to rule out the possibility of silent ischemia, and were negative. he was maintained on his asa, bb, and statin. an outpatient echocardiogram may be considered for future management. . 3. htn: mr. was maintained on metoprolol, and amlodopine and imdur. he will titrate up his htn management with his pcp. bp upon discharge was slightly above goal (sbps 140s). . 4. afib/avnrt: mr. has a for tachy-brady syndrome in the past. he has also had ablation for svt with aberrancy in . at that time he was started on amiodarone. he has a ? history of atrial fibrillation/flutter, but is not on anticoagulation as the history is unclear. was in nsr throughout his stay. he has an appointment in ep device clinic later this month and is also set up for a cardiology appointment in . . 5. dmii: mr. was put on half of his outpatient dose of nph 75/25 and sliding scale insulin during his hospitalization. he maintained good glucose control (fsbg < 150). he was discharged on the half-dose nph 75/25, and should follow up with his pcp/ to adjust as needed. . 6. fen: he was maintained on a cardiac/diabetic diet and 2l fluid restriction. the patient needed prn lasix dosing for volume overload (he responded well to 20-40mg iv lasix). . 7. ckd: baseline creatinine 1.9-2.2. he had some variations in creat throughout stay (likely due to varying volume status and diuresis) but was back to baseline prior to discharge (1.9). his medications were all renally dosed (vancomycin by levels < 15). his kidney disease is related to lond standing diabetes and he is followed at the clinic by dr. for this issue. 8. anemia: patient's baseline hct 27-31 with fe studies consistent with anemia of chronic disease. his hct remained in the range (27-32) throughout his stay and the patient did not receive any prbcs. he would likely benefit from erythropoetin as an outpt as his epo-deficient state from ckd is the likely etiology of his anemia. medications on
