Consider the following medical report that includes the patient's historical health records. Use it to predict the disease that the patient is high likely exposed to. Medical Report: history of present illness (per admitting intensive care unit resident): mr. is a 52 year-old spanish speaking patient transferred to from . the patient's recent past medical history is remarkable for an initial admission at on with hematemesis. the patient's hematocrit at that time was reportedly 33%, and an esophagogastroduodenoscopy was reportedly negative (although there was some question of some - tears that had healed). the patient was treated and released from and was subsequently readmitted there on with some similar complaints. his hematocrit on this readmission was 15.6. an esophagogastroduodenoscopy on the second admission to revealed fundal ulcer in the stomach with a visible vessel. this ulcer and vessel were reportedly sclerosed and the patient was given a total of 8 units of packed red blood cells in the hospital over a fourteen day period. repeat esophagogastroduodenoscopy on reportedly revealed an ulcer base that had shrunk, but had remained present and with a visible vessel. biopsy was reportedly negative for cancer or h-pylori, however, subsequent serology revealed that the patient was positive for h-pylori exposure and the patient was started on amoxicillin, clarithromycin, and protonix. a chest, abdominal and pelvic ct had reportedly revealed a possible malignant ulcer in the upper gastric fundus. the patient was subsequently discharged from , however, he represented one day after admission to emergency department with a hematocrit of 22. the patient was thus transferred to for consideration of embolization of the ulcers artery. past medical history: alcohol abuse. the patient denies history of cardiac, renal and liver disease. he denies history of diabetes. outpatient medications (prior to admission to ): none. medications on transfer from to : protonix 40 mg q.d., amoxicillin 1 gram b.i.d., clarithromycin 500 mg b.i.d. allergies: no known drug allergies. social history: the patient is from el . he has eleven children. one of the patient's sons lives in the area, although the patient does not see him often. the patient is reportedly homeless. the patient denies current tobacco or other drug abuse. the patient admits to drinking. he sometimes consumes up to thirty beers per day. at the time of his transfer to , the patient had not had any thing to drink since the beginning of reportedly. laboratory data on presentation: cbc revealed a white blood cell count of 10.4, hematocrit of 22.2, platelets 237. mcv 91. coag studies revealed an inr of 1.3, pt 13.6, ptt of 26.9. chem 7 revealed sodium 141, potassium 4.0, chloride 110, bicarb 24, bun 22, creatinine 0.7, glucose 104. liver function tests revealed alt of 10, ast 19, alkaline phosphatase 70, amylase 96, total bilirubin of 0.2, lipase of 44. the patient's albumin was 2.9, calcium 6.0, phosphorus 5.5, and magnesium 1.3. hospital course: the patient was transferred from to the intensive care unit on . during the patient's stay in the intensive care unit he was transfused with 4 units of packed red blood cells, after which his hematocrit rose appropriately. on the patient underwent esophagogastroduodenoscopy that revealed a single, acute, 18 mm ulcer at the proximal stomach body near the cardia. a visible vessel suggested recent bleeding. the area was injected with epinephrine times three and electrocautery was employed for successful hemostasis. the patient's brief intensive care unit course was barely stable. he did have some mild hypotension (systolic blood pressure to the 80s and 90s, asymptomatic), which responded to intravenous fluid boluses. the patients hematocrit remained fairly stable and he was transferred to the service on the medicine floor on . the patient was maintained on his h-pylori treatment and his hematocrit was monitored while on the medicine floor. additionally, the patient's diet was advanced, first to clears and then to full regular diet. the patient tolerated this well without nausea, vomiting, diarrhea or any further gastrointestinal bleeding. the patient's blood pressure on the medicine floor was noted to be mildly and transiently depressed. the patient reported occasional dizziness, although this eventually resolved with advancement of his diet. the patient was ambulating well and did not feel or exhibit any signs or symptoms of imbalance. condition at discharge: vital signs stable. afebrile. discharge diagnoses: 1. upper gastrointestinal bleed, gastric ulcer, status post epinephrine injection and sclerotherapy on esophagogastroduodenoscopy. 2. history of alcohol abuse. discharge medications: the patient was discharged with prescriptions for amoxicillin, biaxin and protonix as well as a multi vitamin. the patient has six more days of his h-pylori treatment to complete. follow up: the patient is to follow up with dr. in the clinic on at 2:00 p.m. (this is the earliest date at which a spanish interpreter would be available). additionally, the patient is to follow up with the clinic in approximately eight weeks for a repeat esophagogastroduodenoscopy. the patient was given references for outpatient alcohol rehab/detox programs, but is not currently interested in pursuing these options. , m.d. dictated by: medquist36 procedure: endoscopic control of gastric or duodenal bleeding other irrigation of (naso-)gastric tube diagnoses: acute gastric ulcer with hemorrhage, without mention of obstruction acute posthemorrhagic anemia hypotension, unspecified other and unspecified alcohol dependence, unspecified lack of housing helicobacter pylori

Consider the following medical report that includes the patient's historical health records. Use it to predict the disease that the patient is high likely exposed to. Medical Report: past medical history: hypertension, hypothyroidism, gout, questionable obstructive pulmonary disease. no pulmonary function tests available. reported history of congestive heart failure. chronic renal insufficiency. status post left total knee replacement, left femur fixation with intramedullary rod, and left hip repair. outpatient medications: albuterol two puffs q.i.d., allopurinol 100 mg q day, aspirin 81 mg q day, buspar 5 mg t.i.d., hydrochlorothiazide 25 mg q.d., potassium chloride 10 milliequivalents q day, lasix 20 mg po q day, levoxyl 75 mcg q day. multi vitamin, tums 500 mg b.i.d. allergies: no known drug allergies. social history: the patient prior to presentation lived in an facility. the patient has a daughter who is very involved in her care. the patient has a past tobacco abuse history, she quit approximately fifteen years ago. the patient denies past alcohol use. code status: full code. physical examination on presentation: as reported by the admitting team, vital signs temperature 97.7. heart rate 62. blood pressure 125/60. respiratory rate 22 sating 91% on room air and 95% on 5 liters. general, the patient was found to be somnolent and irritable, but in no acute distress. heent moist mucous membranes. head was normocephalic, atraumatic. neck no jvd. cardiovascular regular rate and rhythm. distant s1 and s2. no murmurs. respiratory, poor air exchange throughout. no rhonchi, rales or wheezes bilaterally. abdomen soft, nontender, mildly distended. positive bowel sounds. positive erythema under abdominal pannus. extremities, 1+ pitting edema, which is symmetric and bilateral. neurological, strength 5 out of 5 at the upper extremities. poor lower extremity effort for strength. tongue in midline. patellar deep tendon reflexes not obtainable. laboratory data on presentation: chem 7 revealed a white count of 7.4 with a differential of 75% neutrophils, 18% lymphocytes and 4% monocytes. hematocrit was 41.4, platelets 164. chem 7 revealed a sodium of 145, potassium 4.6, chloride 101, bicarb 36, bun 44 and creatinine 1.7 and glucose of 70. liver function tests were evaluated. alt was 28, ast 21, ld 199, ck was cycled several times and normal times six. alkaline phosphatase 109. other electrolytes included calcium, which is 9.2, phosphorus 3.9, magnesium 2.0, albumin was 3.6 on presentation. other notable laboratory data during the hospital course included tsh, which was normal at 3.8. iron studies were sent including tibc, ferritin, and transferrin. these were within normal limits. also haptoglobin was sent and found to be 183. the patient's vitamin b-12 was in the low normal range, but folate was normal. erythrocyte sedimentation rate was sent and found to be 10, within normal limits. of note, the patient was found to be positive with a titer of 1:40. electrocardiogram on admission, flipped t waves were evident throughout the precordium. the patient had a right bundle branch block pattern. there were no acute st or t changes. chest x-ray on admission, question of a right middle lobe infiltrate as well as possible left lower lobe infiltrate. ct of the head without contrast on admission revealed ventricles and sulci, which were symmetrically enlarged consistent with age related brain atrophy. there were regions of low attenuation in the periventricular white matter most likely due to chronic microvascular infarction. there was no acute hemorrhage, mass effect or extra axial collection. bone windows demonstrated no fractures. echocardiogram, , revealed mild left ventricular hypertrophy, 2+ mitral regurgitation, decreased right ventricular systolic function, moderate aortic stenosis, trace aortic regurgitation, severe pulmonary hypertension. hospital course: the patient was admitted on after a two week history of progressive mental status changes, which included confusion, poor memory, and difficulty with daily routines as well as increased frequency of urination and a one week history of new onset urinary incontinence. the patient also presented with a two week history of dyspnea as well as increasing gait instability. the patient was admitted initially to the acove team. she was ruled out for myocardial infarction by serial enzymes, as noted above. a subsequent echocardiogram on revealed the above noted findings including pulmonary hypertension. the patient was treated for a urinary tract infection initially with ceftriaxone. however, a rash which had been present on her neck prior to institution of ceftriaxone became dramatically worse, spreading to her face and chest, so the ceftriaxone was changed to cipro (). the patient subsequently developed a bulla on her left lower shin as well as a papular rash on her feet. on and 30 the patient was noted to have asymptomatic pauses in her heart rate with rate running into the 20s. the patient reportedly responded to atropine. the patient was also noted at a separate time to have desaturations to the low 70s on room air. her arterial blood gas at that time revealed a ph of 7.26, pco2 93, po2 45. on , she was transferred to the micu in hopes of trying bipap, but she was too delirious at the time to cooperate with the trial. she also had an episode of rapid (170) atrial fibrillation that day, and developed severe bradycardia (pause of 8 seconds and hr 20 - 30) when treated with lopressor. because of the patient's sinus node dysfunction she was taken for dual chamber pacer placement on and subsequently transferred to the team. the remainder of the hospital course will be described by problem list as follows: cardiovascular: 1. rate and rhythm. on the morning of the patient was found to be tachycardic to the 120s. the possible etiologies for this included the fact that the patient became more delirious again and refused to take her lopressor and amiodarone. also the electrophysiology service performed several interrogations of the pacemaker and adjusted the sensitivities. they were subsequently satisfied that the pacer was placed correctly and working well. through the remainder of the patient's hospitalization the patient was monitored on telemetry with occasional premature ventricular contractions being noted. otherwise, the patient did not have any difficulty with her rate or rhythm. the patient is to be placed on of hearts monitor on discharge and to follow up with the electrophisiology service as will be noted below. 2. blood pressure and pump. the patient was felt to be in heart failure both clinically and by several chest x-rays. thus, she was diuresed over the span of several days with lasix. she responded to this well such that her sats on supplemental oxygen and eventually room air improved significantly. 3. coronaries. as noted above, the patient was ruled out for myocardial infarction by serial enzymes. pulmonary: 1. congestive heart failure. as noted above the patient was felt to have some element of failure. thus, she was diuresed with lasix and subsequently improved significantly. 2. pulmonary hypertension. the patient was suspected to have had some element of sleep apnea. thus, a sleep study was suggested. however, because of the patient's overall condition including her inability to cooperate with the study and the fact that the patient would not have nursing care on hand during a sleep study, a sleep study was deferred during the patient's hospitalization. it should be noted that the patient was tried on a trial of bi-pap while she was delirious in the micu and that she did not tolerate this well as she repeatedly removed the bi-pap apparatus. 3. metabolic alkalosis: as noted above the patient did have an arterial blood gas notable for hypercapnia which improved prior to discharge. the patient's last arterial blood gas on was ph 7.38, pco2 70 and po2 of 84. for a time, the patient's total co2 was followed by chem 7 studies and found to be quite elevated up to 49 (high even prior to diuresis, but normal during admission in ). thus at the recommendation of the pulmonary service, which had been consulted the patient was placed for a time on diamox 250 mg . at this dosage, her total co2 dropped more quickly than recommended (i.e., it was > 3 meq drop per day), so the diamox was discontinued. it may be necessary to restart it at a later time, but probably at 125 mg . overall the patient's pulmonary status improved with treatment of chf during her hospitalization such that she reported being able to breathe easier. the patient likewise had an abg with po2 of 84 and pco2 of 70, with normal ph on 1 l/min supplemental oxygen. infectious disease: the patient completed a course of bactrim (after ceftriaxone, then cipro) for a possible proteus urinary tract infection. subsequently, urinalysis did not reveal any indications of continuing infection. dermatology: as noted above, the patient exhibited a rash over her face, neck and chest during the early course of her hospitalization as well as a subsequent rash over her left foot and shin as well as a bulla on her left shin. the dermatology service was consulted to evaluate this. they recommended obtaining laboratories including liver function tests, erythrocyte sedimentation rate, and creatinine kinase. in terms of the patient's facial rash, the differential diagnosis is felt to include dermatomyositis as well as drug or contact reactions. in terms of the patient's lower extremity bulla, there was concern that the patient might have bullous pemphigoid. the patient's above noted laboratories came back as normal with the exception of , which was as noted above positive with a titer of 1:40. the dermatology service requested permission from the patient on a number of occasions to biopsy her various dermatologic sites, however, the patient was delirious during this time and could not be persuaded (even by her daughter) to allow the procedure. renal: the patient has a history of chronic renal insufficiency. her creatinine tended to run around 1.7 to 1.8, which is within her historic baseline of 1.6 to 2.0. hematologic: because of the patient's intermittent rhythm disturbances, the electrophysiology service felt that the patient should be anticoagulated. however, given her other medical and rehabilitation issues, it was thought to be better to wait on this until she improved.the ultimate decision of whether to offer anticoagulation to the patient will be deferred to the patient's primary care physician, . . condition at discharge: the patient was stable, afebrile, free of chest pain and shortness of breath. discharge diagnoses: 1. bradycardia, sinus node dysfunction. 2. status post dual chamber pacemaker placement on . 3. possible pneumonia 4. possible urinary tract infection (vs. contaminant) 5. congestive heart failure, with good left ventricular but depressed right ventricular function 6. delirium, multifactorial (hypoxia, hypercarbia, bradycardia, chf, possible pneumonia, possible uti), not yet resolved 7. hypercarbia and hypoxia, cause undetermined, possibly due to combination of sleep apnea and chf 8. severe pulmonary hypertension, cause undetermined, but possibly due to central and obstructive sleep apnea. 9. papular skin rash, cause undetermined discharge medications: 1. amiodarone 400 mg po b.i.d. from through and then the patient is to take 400 mg q day times seven days. following the seven day course, the patient is to thereafter take 200 mg po q day. 2. lopressor 25 mg po b.i.d. 3. lasix 20 mg po q day. 4. potassium chloride 10 milliequivalents po q day. 5. albuterol meter dose inhaler two puffs q.i.d. 6. aspirin 325 mg po q day. 7. flovent 220 mcg two puffs b.i.d. 8. levoxyl 0.075 mg po q day. 9. allopurinol 100 mg po q day. 10. buspar 5 mg po t.i.d. 11. colace 100 mg po b.i.d. 12. senna two tabs po q day. 13. multi vitamin one po q day. 14. tums 500 mg po b.i.d. follow up: mrs. will be transferred to the hospital for physical therapy and further management of delirium. the patient has a follow up appointment in the clinic in the clinical center on the fourth floor on at 3:30 p.m. also, the patient should follow up with dr. in approximately three weeks. also, the patient should follow up with her primary care physician within the next week. issues to discuss would include whether or not to anticoagulate the patient in light of her cardiac history as well as in light of her history of falls and recent gait instability. also, the patient's positive titer is noteworthy. ,

Consider the following medical report that includes the patient's historical health records. Use it to predict the disease that the patient is high likely exposed to. Medical Report: history of present illness: this is a 78-year-old right-handed man status post resection of a left frontal meningioma in . he had two follow-up ct scans which showed no evidence of any recurrence or residual tumor. over the last two weeks, his wife has noted increasing mental slowing, along with an unsteady gait. he then had a follow-up mri scan of the head which showed a recurrence of the left frontal meningioma which was approximately 8 cm in its largest diameter. there was significant mass affect and edema. there was also evidence of hemorrhage within the tumor. the patient was otherwise awake and alert. he had no headache, nausea, vomiting or incontinence. past medical history: coronary artery bypass grafting, hypertension, hypercholesterolemia. preoperative medications: vasotec, atenolol, norvasc, dyazide, lipitor, proscar, heparin, xalatan, alphagan, tylenol, colace, dilantin. social history: he is a retired electrical engineer. he lives independently with his wife. physical examination: the patient was awake and alert. he was easily distracted. he had a clear left gaze preference and right hemineglect. his strength was actually quite good in both upper extremities. his previous craniotomy incision was well healed. there was no subgaleal fluid. his extraocular motions were intact, once we got him to look past the midline to the right. his cranial nerves ii-xii were otherwise intact. he had a right pronator drift. his coordination was good. he was slightly hyperreflexic on the right. his right toe was upgoing. his speech was slightly slurred and dysarthric. his comprehension was good. hospital course: the patient had a recurrence of his left frontal meningioma. it was noted that at his previous surgery, this was an extremely bloody tumor. in addition, there was evidence of hemorrhage within the tumor. for that reason, the patient was initially sent to for an angiogram and embolization of the tumor. at that time, the medial portion of the tumor was found to be fed from the right superficial temporal artery. this was embolized. the majority of the tumor was fed by small peel vessels of the left anterior cerebral and middle cerebral artery. these were not amendable to embolization. the patient tolerated this procedure well. the patient was then loaded on dilantin 4 mg p.o. q.i.d. and was written for a sliding scale insulin coverage. in addition, he was started on dilantin 100 mg t.i.d. at his previous surgery, it was noted that the patient was quite sensitive to dilantin; he would become overly sedated on levels that were barely therapeutic. the patient tolerated both the dilantin and the decadron well. he had no complications from his angiogram. he was taken to the operating room on . at that time, he underwent a left frontal craniotomy for his meningioma. there was diffuse infiltration of the dura. there was also two remote smaller nodules of tumor; one over the inferior frontal lobe and one over the temporal lobe. a gross total resection was achieved. the patient tolerated the procedure well. for the first 36 hours, he was kept in the intensive care unit. he was easily arousable. he had a mild right hemiparesis. his speech continued to be a bit slurred. he was sleepy but easily arousable. he was confused as to his location. over the next 24 hours, the patient became more alert. he was much less confused. he was transferred to the floor. he was kept on his decadron and dilantin. a follow-up dilantin level was only 5.2. for that reason, his dilantin was increased to 100 mg in the morning, 200 mg at lunch, and 200 mg in the evening. with this, his dilantin level gradually rose to 9.7. he had no postoperative seizures. the patient gradually became more alert. his confusion was greatly cleared. his speech was still a bit dysarthric. he would sit up in a chair for hours on end. he had difficulty walking without assistance. his hemiparesis gradually began to improve. it was felt that the patient would be an excellent rehabilitation candidate. his wounds remained clean and dry. he was tolerating a regular kosher diet. discharge diagnosis: 1. left frontal meningioma. 2. coronary artery disease. 3. hypertension. condition on discharge: fair. follow-up: the patient should keep his wound clean and dry. he will need to be closely supervised with his walking. he still tends to neglect his right side. he will be seen in follow-up in ten days. his decadron has continued at 4 mg q.i.d. he should undergo a slow taper and be tapered completely off the decadron over a day period. , m.d. dictated by: medquist36 d: 15:53 t: 16:30 job#: procedure: excision of lesion or tissue of cerebral meninges diagnoses: coronary atherosclerosis of native coronary artery pure hypercholesterolemia unspecified essential hypertension other specified disorders of pancreatic internal secretion adrenal cortical steroids causing adverse effects in therapeutic use aortocoronary bypass status aortic valve disorders benign neoplasm of cerebral meninges Answer: The patient is high likely exposed to

(it appears that upon her last hospital discharge pt was unable to manage her medications at home on her own) and likely under-dialysis with chronic fluid overload, esp. as pt had not missed dialysis and tolerated high volume removal without becoming hypotensive. cardiology and renal were both consulted who worked to create a better bp regimen. the patient was eventually controlled with bps in 130s, 140s on lisinopril 40 , felodipine and carvedilol. renal has been working with the pt to dialyze off more fluid. she will continue dialysis as an outpatient on her mwf schedule. she is to follow up with transplant surgery as an outpatient per their recommendation for future removal of her peritoneal dialysis catheter as well as evaluaton for placement of an av fistula. pt refused mris of head and abd to evaluate for pheochromocytoma and other etiologies of mental status change. she did have a ct abd pelvis which showed new cystic lesions in the pancreas with a recommendation for further evaluation with mri which the patient has refused due to concerns re claustrophobia. will follow up with her primary care physician for scheduling of open mri. . # ms change: per her family, these mental status changes are new. possibly hypertensive encephalopathy. resolved with improvement in her bp. pt had no acute findings on head ct, refused mri. . # af with rvr: patient had one episode in the micu, and another on the floor on . she responded to a total of 30mg iv diltiazem and 2.5mg iv metoprolol, after which she converted to normal sinus rhythm. pt has left atrial dilation on echo. this episode of af with rvr is likely due to a combination of fluid shifts in the setting of large volume hd and atrial stretch. rhythm was controlled with carvedilol prior to d/c. pt was bridged on heparin to coumadin. to continue coumadin on d/c. pcp . will follow levels and monitor dosing. . # dilated cardiomyopathy: pt had an echo on showing dilated lv with ef of 20%. this was new from before. pt had an uninterpretable ecg with no anginal sx on pmibi, new global severe sytolic hypokinesis. this cardiomyopathy is new since . tsh, ferritin and spep were nl. in theory this is tachycardia induced cardiomyopathy due to her af, unclear how long she had been in this rhythm. pt will follow up as outpatient with dr. , she will need a repeat echo before consideration of possible cardiac catheterization in the future. . on day of discharge pt's bps were well controlled 130-140. other vss. pt to follow up with pcp and dr. as well as renal and at dialysis mwf, she does to in .

(pending): anaerobic bottle (pending): 10:00 am blood culture line or site not noted. aerobic bottle (pending): anaerobic bottle (pending): cxr : chest ap: compared to the earlier exam, there has been interval placement of a right ij cvl. the tip is in the right atrium. there is no evidence of pneumothorax. there is interval increase in interstitial markings and septal lines consistent with worsening pulmonary edema. cxr : impression: mild chf. new, lobulated appearance of left hilum. chest ct is recommended for further evaluation to exclude a mass in this region. ct abdomen : impression: 1) foci of decreased enhancement in both kidneys consistent with pyelonephritis. 2) left renal cyst and additional low attenuation focus, which may represent a cyst but is too small to be fully characterized. 3) bibasilar scarring and atelectasis. cxr : findings: ap single view of the chest obtained with the patient in upright position is compared with a recent similar study (half hour interval). the central venous line has been withdrawn by approximately 5 cm and is now located in the lower portion of the svc terminating some 2 cm above the level of the entrance into the right atrium. no pneumothorax or any other chest abnormalities in comparison with the previous study. us: the gallbladder is normal, and there is no evidence of stones. the liver is of normal echogenicity and echo texture without focal lesions. the common bile duct measures approximately 3 mm and is within normal limits. there is no intrahepatic bile duct dilatation. there is no evidence of free fluid in the abdomen. brief hospital course: 64 year old female with history of atrial fibrillation s/p recent hospitalization for ablation, discharged on , who returns with fatigue x 3 days, and fever to 102 with chills, found to have uti by ua and evidence of pyelonephritis on ct scan, hypotension on admission responsive to 4 l ivf, thought to be urosepsis. 1) pyelonephritis: patient with pyelo by ct scan. changed to po antibiotics when transferred to the floor. possibly with acquisition of pyelo during last admission during which time she probably had a foley catheter in. urine culture shows e-coli and one blood culture showed gram negative rods. patient remained afebrile for the last 2 days of her admission. 2) hypotension: presumed secondary to urosepsis. blood cultures from were positive for gnr. hypotension resolved s/p 4 l ivf. post hydration, patient was euvolemic to hypervolemic - she had rales at bases, chf on cxr , we encouraged po intake and patient did not require further ivf. also, patient got 2 u prbc which also helped volume status. random cortisol was done and was appropriatly > 25. patients home atenelol was held but restarted as an outpatient. 3) anemia: patient with large hct drop with rehydration, unmasking anemia (was dehydrated on presentation). given recent groin instrumentation during a-flutter ablation, could have had significant bleeding into groin - has large ecchymosis in r groin. more likely bled into l groin though, given intense l groin pain 1 week ago (however this could also be related to uti). ct was negative for rp bleed. hemolysis labs negative. patient was transfused on and hct remained stable after that. patient was also guiac negative through hospital course. iron studies were done, iron 31, tibc low, ferritin elevated. anemia should be followed as outpatient. 4) atrial fibrillation: s/p ablation. remained in sinus. completed lovenox. continued flecanide. held atenolol given hypotension, but restarted on discharge - bp 140 at one point. 5) depression: continued zoloft. 6) lfts: lfts noted to be elevated on , however patient had no abdominal pain or tenderness. she underwent ruq us that was normal (see report above). lfts monitored and were trending down prior to discharge. this should be followed as outpateint. likely this is a result of hypotension on the liver during her initial presentation and would be expected to improve. medications on admission: calcium supplement 600mg atenolol 12.5mg daily flecainide 200mg - last dose saturday, zoloft 50mg daily mvi daily asa 325mg daily fosamax

Consider the following medical report that includes the patient's historical health records. Use it to predict the disease that the patient is high likely exposed to. Medical Report: allergies: morphine / demerol attending: chief complaint: transfer from outside hospital for evaluation of ventricular tachycardia with aicd in place. major surgical or invasive procedure: cardiac catheterization on ep procedure on history of present illness: mr. is a 58 year-old man with severe premature cad status post cabg x 2 (redo in ) and multiple ptcas, with known single patent svg to lad, cardiomyopathy with ef 35% status post aicd placement (per patient, had arrhythmia) also with paf on coumadin therapy, htn, and hypercholesterolemia, transferred from hospital for further management of vt/aidc firing. mr. claims that he has been feeling unwell for the past few weeks since reprogramming of his aicd. this is confounded by 2 recent diarrheal illnesses (last 2 weeks pta), and a uri. he also notes progressive dyspnea on exertion and increased use of ntg for anginal symptoms over the past 5 weeks. + cough. on the day prior to admission, 45 minutes after using his ntg for exertional angina, while sitting at home, he "fell asleep or lost consciousness" and woke up 2/2 shock from aicd. he presented to the hospital for further evaluation. at the osh, cardiac enzymes were flat (ck 54, 59). he had 2 further defibrillations from aicd, each time with "dosing off" prior to the shock. one of these episodes was captured on telemetry and showed monomorphic vt. at the patient's request, transfer to was arranged for further care. at , he was taken straight to the cath lab. angiography revealed patent svg to lima with 50-60% in-stent

catheterization: 1. selective coronary angiography revealed severe native three vessel coronary artery disease. the lmca had severe diffuse disease. the lad had a proximal occlusion at the origin of the vessel. the lcx had a proximal total occlusion with bridging collaterals. the rca had a proximal total occlusion with left to right and bridging collaterals. 2. selective graft angiography of the svg to lad revealed 50 to 60% instent restenosis. the graft gave collaterals to the lcx and rca. 3. arterial conduit angiography revealed a large patent native rima. 4. resting hemodynamics demonstrated mildly elevated left sided pressures (mean pcwp 19 mmhg) with a normal cardiac index (3 l/min/m2). 5. the right femoral arteriotomy was closed successfully with an angioseal device. final diagnosis: 1. three vessel coronary artery disease. 2. moderate svg to lad instent restenosis. 3. mild ventricular diastolic dysfunction. 4. patent native rima. 5. angioseal to right femoral arteriotomy. ******* echo: 1. the left atrium is moderately dilated. 2. left ventricular wall thicknesses are normal. the left ventricular cavity size is normal. overall left ventricular systolic function is moderately depressed (lvef 30-35%). resting regional wall motion abnormalities include inferolateral and inferior akinesis with basal and mid inferoseptal hypokinesis. the basal lateral wall was not well seen but probably hypokinetic. 3. right ventricular chamber size is normal. right ventricular systolic function is normal. 4.the aortic root is moderately dilated. 5.the aortic valve leaflets (3) appear structurally normal with good leaflet excursion and no aortic regurgitation. 6.the mitral valve leaflets are structurally normal. moderate to severe (+) mitral regurgitation is seen. 7.there is no pericardial effusion. 8. there is an echogenic density in the right atrium and ventricle consistent with a pacemaker lead. ****** cxr: pacemaker tips in satisfactory position. the heart is enlarged. no failure is seen. there is a soft infiltrate in the anterior segment of the right upper lobe. increased opacification in the right lower lobe is also present. i suspect pneumonia in both of these areas. impression: right upper and probable right lower lobe pneumonia, cardiomegaly, no failure. brief hospital course: 58 year-old male with long-standing history of cad s/p cabg x 2 (redo in ), ischemic cardiomyopathy with ef 35%, paroxysmal atrial fibrillation on coumadin therapy, s/p aicd placement 2 years ago, transferred from osh after firing of aicd, found to have monomorphic vt, on lidocaine drip. status post cath at , with svg to lad graft patent with 50-60% in-stent restenosis. 1) vt: the ep service was consulted on admission. device interrogation revealed no programmed antitachycardia pacing and elevated pacing thresholds. a vt detection zone was added, and atrial pacing output was increased to 5v, while v pacing was increased to 3.5v. per ep, sotalol was increased to 120mg po bid, with plan to d/c lidocaine. overnight, mr. had a 6-beat run of monomorphic vt while off lidocaine, which was restarted, and eventually weaned on hospital day #2 without recurrence of his vt. while in hospital, telemetry revealed mostly a-pacing, v-sensing. he was taken to the ep lab on , which revealed no mappable vt or scar for substrate mapping. no ablation done. per ep, sotalol was discontinued, and he was started on amiodarone 400 mg po tid on (lfts and tfts normal prior to initiation of amiodarone therapy). the etiology of his vt (given 2 years without events) remains unclear at discharge. on admission, his monomorphic vt was initially felt to be scar-based (despite the absence of qs on ekg) but ep procedure revealed no mappable vt. he was ruled out for mi on admission (peak troponin 0.08), but ischemia remains a concern. he was discharged on amiodarone 400 mg po tid for 7 days (total), then 400 mg po bid for 7 days, then 400 mg po qd. he will need pft's as an out-patient while on amiodarone. he will follow-up with dr. for his aicd. 2) cad/angina: his history was initially concerning for accelerating anginal symptoms. cardiac catheterization revealed 50-60% instent restenosis of the svg to lad graft, likely chronic in nature. he was ruled out for mi (peak troponin 0.08). while on the floor, mr. had 2 further anginal episodes. ekg on both occasions revealed dynamic ekg changes, with deeper st depressions in the lateral leads. in hospital, he was continued on asa, plavix, lisinopril (titrated up to 20 mg daily), and imdur. cardiac surgery was consulted, with recommendation to proceed with repeat redo cabg +/- mvr (moderate to severe mr) +/- maze procedure. surgery was deferred given given ongoing treatment for probable pneumonia (see below). pre-op work-up done, and carotid doppler and vein mapping performed prior to discharge per cardiac surgery service. he has a scheduled appointment on with dr. . a lipid profile in hospital revealed ldl 124, suboptimal in this patient with severe cad (goal <70). mr. is already on crestor 40 mg po qd, gemfibrozil 600 mg po bid and zetia 10 mg po qd. per pharmacy, there has been no proven added benefits with higher doses of crestor and zetia. we will leave this to his pcp to address. 3) chf: a repeat echo was performed on , which revealed lvef 30-35%, with inferolateral and inferior akinesis, basal and mid inferoseptal hypokinesis, as well as moderate to severe mr. in hospital, he was continued on lisinopril. digoxin was decreased to 0.125 mg po qd given initiation of amiodarone. lasix should be resumed at home (patient contact) at pre-admission dose. he will need follow-up digoxin levels as an out-patient. 4) history of atrial fibrillation: coumadin was held in hospital and he was kept on heparin iv. coumadin resumed at a lower dose at discharge (2 mg po qhs) given concomitant amiodarone and azithromycin therapy. plan to have inr check on monday . 5) cough/wheezing: mr. was noted to have significant wheezing on admission and a cxr was suspicious for rul and possible rll pneumonia. however, patient afebrile, with normal wbc. nonetheless, given his cough, he was initially started on levofloxacin, changed to azithromycin given the arrhythmogenic potential of levofloxacin. he will complete a 5-day course of azithromycin 500 mg po qd. given his significant wheezing, he was also started on a prednisone taper, as well as advair and bronchodilator therapy via nebulizers. he was much improved at the time of discharge.

Medical Report: allergies: lasix / persantine i.v. / theophylline / nystatin attending: chief complaint: chest pain, shortness of breath major surgical or invasive procedure: s/p cardiac catheterization (stable cad, no intervention) history of present illness: 76 year old female with history of cad status post cabg in (svg-lad/d1), chf (ef 30%), dm2, transferred from for consideration of cardiac cath. the patient says that 2 nights prior to admission, while straining to have a bowel movement she suddenly became short of breath. she describes associated chest pain over her left precordium without radiation, as well as bilateral shoulder pain, abdominal pain, and back pain. she did have associated dizziness and diaphoresis, as well as nausea and vomiting. she was brought to the hospital that night by her family. on arrival at sturdy, she had mild rales, with cxr demonstrating mild chf. ekg demonstrated old lbbb, without new st/t changes. initial troponin was < 0.02, with bnp of 432. she was given an additional dose of 0.5 mg iv bumetanide and admitted to telemetry for cycling of cardiac enzymes. unfortunately no documentation is provided for the proceding 36 hours, however per report from the family, over the course of the following day she experienced several episodes of shortness of breath associated with chest pain. her troponin rose from < 0.02 to 1.3, with ck and mb remaining within normal limits. she was thought to be having episodes of acute pulmonary edema and was given extra doses of bumetanide. on the night of , however, her shortness of breath was severe enough to require icu transfer for bipap initiation. she was started on heparin and integrillin drips at this point secondary to concern for ischemia, with troponin peaking at 1.5, with normal cks. ekgs were unchanged throughout. it was eventually decided to transfer her to for catheterization to rule out ischemia. of note, about 1 month ago her cardiologist (dr. cut her bumetanide dose in half secondary to rising creatinine, and her aldactone was discontinued completely secondary to hyperkalemia. also of note, p-mibi in revealed a fixed large severe defect in the lad territory, as well as a reversible small mild defect in the pda territory. she underwent catheterization in which demonstrated an unchanged chronic 90% lesion in the non-dominant proximal rca, diffuse disease in the lad with a 50-60% mid-distal lesion, with likely total occlusion of d2, as well as diffuse disease in the lcx and lpdl. no intervention was performed. past medical history: 1)cad: : cath/ptca: patient

consideration of cardiac cath in the setting of recurrent episodes of shortness of breath and chest pain, thought to be acute pulmonary edema. 1) dyspnea/chest pain: story consistent with episodes of acute pulmonary edema, likely attributable to worsening diastolic dysfunction in the setting of poorly controlled hypertension. her episodes occur frequently in the setting of valsalva/straining, with acute increase in afterload. unstable angina thought possible, though less likely, given the p-mibi about 1 year prior with a large fixed defect in the lad territory and only a mild reversible defect in the pda territory. after reviewing the prior cath films () with the attending, it was determined to send the patient for catherization on . an echo was done () prior to cath which showed no new changes except mild increased elevation pa pressure. ef was measured to be 25%. she was evaluated for renal artery stenosis as a cause of her recurrent acute pulmonary edema by mra, which demonstrated no stenotic arteries. she was managed medically with hypertension control with medication changes as follows: added lisinopril 10mg. . on the night of her admission she had transient hypotension in response to morphine 2 mg iv that responded to narcan reversal. future iv narcotics should be given judiciously. . on , patient sent for diagnostic cath only 2nd to febrile episodes. prior, patient recieved full pre-cath hydration. cath showed no new lesions and no further intervention was recommended. post-cath check was normal. daily ekgs were performed. on , patient experienced additional episodes of chest pain, but unlikely to be of cardiac origin. ekg taken during episode showed no new changes. etiology likely due to anxiety, metastatic breast cancer or gi disease, which could be further worked up as an outpatient. patient has been set up with clinic for outpatient follow up, scheduled for . 2) febrile episode x 2 recorded on . patient was sent for stat chest xray, ua, blood&urine cultures. chest xray results were negative. ua indicated few wbcs, +leukocyte esterase. it was determined that given the ua and impending catherization to start empiric therapy with ciprofloxacin 250mg . initially, it was thought the febrile episode was due to the recent addition of procrit and it was discontinued. urine cultures indicated s. aureus coagulase positive, sensitive to oxacilin. immediately, 1gm of vancomycin iv was started. 2 out 4 blood cultures grew coagulase negative staph. given her prior history of s. aureus in her cultures, patient was sent for renal ultrasound, which was negative for renal abscess. additionally, tte done on indicated no valvular diseases. the department of infectious diseases was consulted and they indicated to repeat cultures and to label the sites from which they were drawn. the positive cultures were determined to be skin contaminants. all subsequent cultures have been negative and id recommended stopping vancomycin. further, they indicated that the patient should have follow up blood and uring cultures drawn wks and report those results with her primary care provider. those cultures are positive, it may be advisable to have her port-a-cath changed. 3) chronic renal insufficiency: creatinine at baseline of 1.5, clearance is approximately 30. patient given mucomyst for renal protection, as well as 1/2 ns in a.m prior to catherization. subsequent creatinine was found to be 1.3. 4) htn: on admission, it was decided to hold valsartan for now, start hydral/isordil. continued beta blockade with metoprolol. on , it was decided to discontinue hydralazine and start lisinopril 5mg qd and bumex 0.5mg . on the morning of , patient experienced episode of hypotension after am dose of hypertension meds. other blood pressure meds were held. patient experienced an additional hypotensive episode and has been discontinued off bumex. daily weights and intake/output were monitored and patient found to be euvolemic. after , patient's blood pressure was stable on the following regimen: metoprolol 12.5mg , isorbide dinitrate 10mg tid, and lisinopril 5mg qd. upon discharge, patient to be discontinued off metoprolol and started on toprol xl 25mg and lisinopril 10mg daily. 5) history of dvt: in lower extremity, more than 1 year ago. patient started on heparin gtt sliding scale. due to elevated ptt (>150), heparin had been withheld. however, it was determined that access (port-a-cath) contributed to falsley elevated ptt and access was established on dorsum of hand. this resulted in ptt of 26.6. heparin gtt immediately restarted according sliding scale protocol. upon discharge, will restart warfarin when able with lovenox for anticoagulation until therapeutic inr. patient to follow up with primary care physician for inr checks. inr goal is 2.0-3.0. 6) pancytopenia: all cell lines are depressed at baseline, possibly secondary to chemo versus mds. followed by hematology/oncology. on iron supplements and procrit. procrit discontinued on due to febrile episodes x2. hematocrit and hemoglobin stable and procrit to be continued at the discretion of outpatient physician . 7) breast cancer: admitted on examestane, which can rarely cause chf; could potentially be exacerbating the situation. discussed this with hematology/oncology, who recommended continuing examestane. the patient's oncologist (dr. recommended a torso ct scan with contrast to evaluate for possible additional metastases and other pathology. ct scan was negative. 8)regurgitation: throughout hospitalization, patient had episodes of regurgitation after eating. it was recommended by her oncologist to obtain ct scan of torso to evaluate for additional metastases. ct scan indicated no new lesions. discomfort thought to be due to dyspepsia/constipation. reglan was added to her bowel regimen and patient admitted to having a bowel movement. patient has been set up with clinic for outpatient follow up, scheduled for

non weight bearing until cleared by your surgeon. you should keep this amputation site elevated when ever possible. you may use the other leg to assist in transferring and pivots. but try not to exert to much pressure on the amputation site when transferring and or pivoting. please keep knee immobilizer on at all times to help keep the amputation site straight. no driving until cleared by your surgeon. please call us immediately for any of the following problems: redness in or drainage from your leg wound(s) . watch for signs and symptoms of infection. these are: a fever greater than 101 degrees, chills, increased redness, or pus draining from the incision site. if you experience any of these or bleeding at the incision site, call the doctor. exercise: limit strenuous activity for 6 weeks. do not drive a car unless cleared by your surgeon. try to keep leg elevated when able. bathing/showering: you may shower immediately upon coming home. no bathing. a dressing may cover you??????re amputation site and this should be left in place for three (3) days. remove it after this time and wash your incision(s) gently with soap and water. you will have sutures, which are usually removed in 4 weeks. this will be done by the surgeon on your follow-up appointment. wound care: sutures / staples may be removed before discharge. if they are not, an appointment will be made for you to return for staple removal. when the sutures are removed the doctor may or may not place pieces of tape called steri-strips over the incision. these will stay on about a week and you may shower with them on. if these do not fall off after 10 days, you may peel them off with warm water and soap in the shower. avoid taking a tub bath, swimming, or soaking in a hot tub for four weeks after surgery. medications: unless told otherwise you should resume taking all of the medications you were taking before surgery. you will be given a new prescription for pain medication, which can be taken every three (3) to four (4) hours only if necessary. remember that narcotic pain meds can be constipating and you should increase the fluid and bulk foods in your diet. (check with your physician if you have fluid restrictions.) if you feel that you are constipated, do not strain at the toilet. you may use over the counter metamucil or milk of magnesia. appetite suppression may occur; this will improve with time. eat small balanced meals throughout the day. cautions: no smoking! we know you've heard this before, but it really is an important step to your recovery. smoking causes narrowing of your blood vessels which in turn decreases circulation. if you smoke you will need to stop as soon as possible. ask your nurse or doctor for information on smoking cessation. avoid pressure to your amputation site. no strenuous activity for 6 weeks after surgery. diet : there are no special restrictions on your diet postoperatively. poor appetite is expected for several weeks and small, frequent meals may be preferred. for people with vascular problems we would recommend a cholesterol lowering diet: follow a diet low in total fat and low in saturated fat and in cholesterol to improve lipid profile in your blood. additionally, some people see a reduction in serum cholesterol by reducing dietary cholesterol. since a reduction in dietary cholesterol is not harmful, we suggest that most people reduce dietary fat, saturated fat and cholesterol to decrease total cholesterol and ldl (low density lipoprotein-the bad cholesterol). exercise will increase your hdl (high density lipoprotein-the good cholesterol) and with your doctor's permission, is typically recommended. you may be self-referred or get a referral from your doctor. if you are overweight, you need to think about starting a weight management program. your health and its improvement depend on it. we know that making changes in your lifestyle will not be easy, and it will require a whole new set of habits and a new attitude. if interested you can may be self-referred or can get a referral from your doctor. if you have diabetes and would like additional guidance, you may request a referral from your doctor. follow-up appointment: be sure to keep your medical appointments. the key to your improving health will be to keep a tight reign on any of the chronic medical conditions that you have. things like high blood pressure, diabetes, and high cholesterol are major villains to the blood vessels. don't let them go untreated! please call the office on the first working day after your discharge from the hospital to schedule a follow-up visit. this should be scheduled on the calendar for seven to fourteen days after discharge. normal office hours are 8:30-5:30 monday through friday. please feel free to call the office with any other concerns or questions that might arise followup instructions: provider: . phone: date/time ----- procedure: venous catheterization, not elsewhere classified hemodialysis other skin graft to other sites other amputation below knee revision of arteriovenous shunt for renal dialysis other myectomy other myectomy diagnoses: end stage renal disease other postoperative infection diabetes with neurological manifestations, type ii or unspecified type, not stated as uncontrolled hypertensive chronic kidney disease, unspecified, with chronic kidney disease stage v or end stage renal disease other complications due to other cardiac device, implant, and graft atherosclerosis of native arteries of the extremities with gangrene personal history of malignant neoplasm of kidney gastroparesis diabetes with peripheral circulatory disorders, type ii or unspecified type, not stated as uncontrolled peripheral autonomic neuropathy in disorders classified elsewhere Answer: The patient is high likely exposed to

leuks, positive nitrate, protein 100, many bacteria and this ended up growing out vre. the patient was treated with linezolid for a full course for this vre. the patient had a head ct without contrast, which showed no mass effect or hemorrhage in acute setting. it did show subacute risks of chronic infarcts. ct of the abdomen and pelvis showed atelectasis and dependent lung zone, gallbladder was distended, bilateral hydronephrosis and hydroureter, bilateral fat stranding surrounding the kidneys, marked bladder wall thickening with possible diverticula. three large stones were seen in the urinary bladder 1.5 by 1.2 cm. the sigmoid colon directly abutted the thickened urinary bladder wall. the follow up that was recommended was a ct cystogram or fluoroscopic examination for possible rectovesicular fistula. chest x-ray was negative for pneumonia or congestive heart failure. hospital course: the patient grew out vre in his urine and was treated with vre sepsis with intravenous linezolid, completed a full course. his hospital course was also complicated by a right femoral deep venous thrombosis, which showed a small pe on ct on right femoral deep venous thrombosis and there was also trabeculations in the bladder and hydronephrosis suggesting chronic bladder obstruction. there is also an anterior superior diverticulum, which could represent a remnant or intact fistula. there is no definite evidence of fistula on this examination and no abdominal obstruction or abdominal abscess on that ct on the 10th of the abdomen. also on the 10th the patient had a ct of the chest, which showed a pe involving a subsegmental branch in the right lower lobe, septal thickening and bilateral pleural effusions consistent with heart failure, nodular densities within the lungs, which may represent granulomatous disease. repeat ct of the chest is recommended at a later date and nonspecific prominent mediastinal lymphadenopathy. the patient's course also in the micu complicated by non st elevation myocardial infarction with peak ck of 285, peak ck/mb of ______, peak troponin of .24. the patient was intubated in the intensive care unit and was diuresed for volume overload and then subsequently extubated. his initial acute renal failure improved with resolution of the obstruction with the foley catheter. he was treated for adrenal insufficiency with stress dosed steroids as well as receiving the 4 units of packed red blood cells. the patient left the cicu, but was readmitted back to the intensive care unit on the 26th secondary to pulmonary edema. he was placed on bipap and nitro drip and was diuresed. the patient had a repeat echocardiogram on the 26th, which showed an ef of 30%, which is down from the one on the 9th, which showed an ef of 60%, although that initial study on the 9th was suboptimal. the repeat on the 26 showed again he had 30%, left ventricular cavity size was normal, systolic function was depressed. he had 2+ mitral regurgitation, 1+ tricuspid regurgitation. no pericardial effusion, but poor echocardiogram, windows and tachycardia complicated the imaging. after being stabilized in the cicu the patient was transferred back out to the floor on the 29th. this is a 76 year-old male with a long and complicated hospital stay characterized by vre or sepsis, deep venous thrombosis, pe, gastrointestinal bleeding, hematuria, acute renal failure secondary to obstruction, congestive heart failure secondary to flash pulmonary edema most likely in the setting of ischemia. the patient had a non st elevation myocardial infarction with possible ischemic cardiomyopathy, paroxysmal atrial fibrillation. he also developed thrombocytopenia during his hospital course with a nadir of 49 and adrenal insufficiency. vre/urosepsis: the patient received a ten day course of linezolid and had a repeat culture on the , which again grew out vre, but then had a follow up on the 2nd, which did not grow out vre and had no bacteria on the urinalysis. the patient has a chronic indwelling foley catheter. this obstruction is problem for the patient's ability to clear the urinary tract infections and he may actually be colonized with vre in his bladder/catheter. the patient will require procedure to relieve his obstruction as an outpatient status post three months of coumadin therapy for his recent pe. the patient also developed c-diff colitis while here in the hospital being treated with flagyl. he will be discharged on flagyl on the 4th having done five out of his 14 day course of c-diff treatment. acute renal failure secondary to obstruction: the patient with prostate cancer as well as bladder caliculi. the patient has a chronic indwelling foley. the patient will require follow up with urology approximately three months for transurethral resection of the prostate or some other procedure to relive bladder obstruction. it is possible this was a contributing factor to his initial delta ms . deep venous thrombosis/pulmonary embolus: the patient was initially placed on heparin and coumadin, however, his platelets drop precipitably. he had two negative heparin antibody tests, however, hematology/oncology consult felt the patient's clinical context was very consistent with temporary induced thrombocytopenia. he was placed on a _____________ drip with a goal ptt of 1.5 to 2 times the normal ptt. the goal inr was 4 while on ___________. this was achieved on the . the patient's _____________ was discontinued. his coumadin goal is 2 to 3 and he is 2.8 on the 3rd and 2.7 on the 4th. he is therapeutic on his coumadin for his pe. he will require a minimum to be therapeutic for three months prior to interrupting his coumadin for workup of his genitourinary obstruction and his anemia. thrombocytopenia: please see above, pe and deep venous thrombosis. the patient has heparin induced thrombocytopenia. he should never receive heparin products upon any admissions here at . ischemia: the patient had a non st elevation myocardial infarction in the setting of sepsis and renal failure. if his stability improves and his genitourinary and gastrointestinal malignancy workup is finished one should consider doing a catheterization before any invasive surgeries on the patient for example like a colectomy given the troponin that was positive and cks were flat in terms of the mb, however, the positive troponin marks him as a significant risk for cardiac morbidity and mortality in the future especially in the setting of moderate to high risk surgery. congestive heart failure: he was much improved after being diuresed on the unit and on the floor. he is currently on 20 po lasix here on the floor in the context of getting only about 60 cc an hour of volume in with tube feeds. the patient should be fluid restricted under 2 liters a day of fluid and have low sodium diet and have daily weights checked. his lasix should be titrated up to 40 or higher based on his daily weights if the patient should gain 2 to 3 pounds in a day. the patient's congestive heart failure also most likely had a contribution of his atrial fibrillation. atrial fibrillation: the patient is on amiodarone currently on 200 po b.i.d. he should remain on that for approximately ten days and then be changed to 200 q.d. for maintenance dose for supraventricular tachycardia. his thyroid function was normal, tsh of 3.1. he will need pulmonary function tests with a dlco at a later date when stable and should follow up with an outpatient cardiologist. his qtcs have been monitored and there have been no events or bradycardia while on the amiodarone. the echocardiogram showing the decreased ef likely in the setting of active ischemia one could consider __________ in the future. the patient is on beta blocker and aspirin as well as for the heart failure and the and lasix. depending on how his functional status shakes out and his renal function shakes out he may benefit from digoxin for symptomatic relief or aldactone if his congestive heart failure is stage 3 to 4. gastrointestinal bleed: this is obvious given the patient's elevated bun in the setting of normal creatinine. on the 4th the bun was in the 40s and his creatinine was only 0.9 as well as his drifting hematocrit and a low iron of 18. the patient likely ahs a gastrointestinal source of bleeding. at a later date in three months he is going to get a colonoscopy to evaluate for either diverticular disease, which there is evidence of on a cat scan versus polyp or colon cancer. renal failure: the patient had improved renal function secondary to fixing his obstruction. hematuria: outpatient urology will follow with him and most likely secondary to the possible prostate cancer or the bladder caliculi. he is again going to follow up with urology as an outpatient. nutrition: the patient had a swallowing evaluation, which he failed aspirating most likely secondary to intubation and medical debilitated state. he had a peg placed and he is getting tube feeds through that peg. the patient should have a repeat swallowing test at rehab to evaluate his capacity to swallow and hopefully reintroduce some form of a diet. diabetes: he has been on a sliding scale insulin. when the patient takes po it should be considered to maybe convert him to standing nph insulin. adrenal insufficiency: he is on prednisone taper with decreasing by 5 mg every three days. he should be maintained approximately 7.5 mg of prednisone q.d. when his acute illness has subsided for his pmr. prophylaxis: the patient is now on coumadin. his inr should be maintained between 2 and 3. this is important to be checked at least every other day until the patient has a stable level especially given the fact that he is on antibiotics for his c-diff colitis: he is also on proton pump inhibitor. physical therapy has been seeing him and he has been walking with him and doing very well. code status: full. discharge condition: good, greatly improved from admission though the patient had a prolonged hospital course and requires intensive rehabilitation to return to his previous level of function. discharge diagnoses: 1. deep venous thrombosis. 2. pulmonary embolism. 3. acute renal failure secondary to obstruction. 4. prostate cancer. 5. chronic iron deficiency anemia. 6. non st elevation myocardial infarction. 7. congestive heart failure with likely ischemic cardiomyopathy with a decreased ef in the context of an acute myocardial infarction. 8. hematuria. 9. gastrointestinal

patient is to receive this for approximately ten days and then be converted to 200 q.d. this is for atrial fibrillation. 2. lasix 20 mg q.d. the patient is to receive daily weights. this should be titrated up to 40 or to 60 depending if the patient gains weight to maintain the patient euvolemic. 3. prednisone 7.5 mg q.d. 4. flagyl 500 mg per nasogastric tube t.i.d. the patient needs approximately eight days of treatment after discharge. 5. warfarin 5 mg po q.h.s. the patient should have his inr monitored daily. inr goal is 2 to 3. when the patient is on a stable regimen off antibiotics the inr checks can be titrated down. 6. valsartan 80 mg po q.d. 7. lopressor 50 mg po t.i.d. this is to be converted to a q.d. regimen of toprol xl when the patient leaves the hospital and in fact when he leaves rehab, which is advantageous due to his low ejection fraction. 8. lansoprazole solution 30 mg q.d. per nasogastric tube. 9. insulin sliding scale. 10. colace. 11. atrovent inhalers prn. discharge follow up: the patient will require follow up with urology for a transurethral resection of the prostate and evaluation of his chronic bladder obstruction. the patient will need follow up with gastroenterology for an outpatient colonoscopy to evaluate his iron deficiency anemia likely secondary to diverticular disease, but in this elderly male we need to rule out malignancy. the patient will also need follow up at the cardiology clinic given his atrial fibrillation on amiodarone for appropriate testing for pulmonary function tests and also for follow up for his non st elevation myocardial infarction. please see the final discharge paperwork at page one regarding specific medications in case there are any medication changes as well as specific follow up

and venous access nurse were both paged brief hospital course: 1. hypotension: pt originally admitted to the icu given episode of hypotension to the 80s. given the patient's initial presentation, she did not meet sirs criteria given her wbc, temp, rr, hr. determined not to be septic shock. on review of her clinical notes her bp appears to be 95 in her prior primary care visit, there is also a comment in a prior neurology note of possible dysautonomia from her thoracic lesion. patient had stable sbps 80-90s with no evidence of end-organ ischemia, mentating well, good urine output, during her hospitalization, so was presumed to be at baseline and secondary to autonomic dysfunction. did not require ivf boluses and remained hemodynamically stable. . 2. hypoxia: pt noted to be hypoxic at home on room air that corrected with 2l of oxygen. given cxr lll/retrocardiac infiltrate lobar pneumonia was thought to be the cause of the patient's hypoxia. she was treated empirically for hap with levofloxacin and vancomycin. given sputum culture grew sparse growth of staph aureus, the patient was continued on this regimen, vancomycin for 7 days, levofloxacin for 10 days. ipratropium/albuterol nebs treatments, chest pt, acapella and incentive spirometer use improved the patient's symptoms. . 3. uti: pt also has history of frequent utis given that her caregiver self-caths. she was started on augmentin for klebsiella uti diagnosed in caritas. her review of urine culture data shows klebsiella sensitive to zosyn, meropenem, bactrim, unasyn. she also has a h.o. of proteus sensitive to zosyn. though klebsiella appears to be sensitive to zosyn there may be a difference between in- vs in- sensitivity. high rate of resistance with during zosyn therapy, thus was initially treated with meropenem. when the culture data returned with pansensitive pseudomonas, meropenem was discontinued and levofloxacin was continued for total of 10 days. . 4. thrombocytopenia: pt on admission noted to have plt 130, prior baseline has shown plt count in the 300s. the patient's platelet count dropped to 84 on her third hospital day. heparin and omeprazole were discontinued as possible causes. her count returned to 144 prior to discharge. omeprazole was held, and the patient instructed to have a repeat platelet count as an outpatient. . 5. t1-t2 paraplegia s/p mvc: pt was maintained on her home regimen of methadone, lyrica, baclofen, lidocaine patch, klonopin, trazadone. home oxycodone was discontinued given hypotension and questionable mental status at times. the patient never requested oxycodone therapy. she was asked to refrain from restarting oxycodone as an outpatient if possible. . 6. h.o. pres syndrome: pt has history of pres syndrome occured in and thought to be due to a

which could be related to osteopenia, but if patient has history of malignancy, or other concern for metastatic disease, consider outpatient mri for further evaluation. 3. prominent proximal innominate artery as well as minimal prominence of the right common carotid and subclavian arteries, not fully imaged on this study and may be secondary to tortuosity. however, if there is clinical concern or this has not been previously evaluated, then this can be further evaluated on a dedicated chest ct with contrast. 4. calcification in the right thyroid lobe can be further evaluated with ultrasound. . ct abd/pelvis: 1. no acute ct findings to explain patient's symptoms. no bowel wall thickening. 2. nodular contour of the liver suggests cirrhosis. upper abdominal varices. subtle hypodensity in the liver adjacent to the falciform ligament on axial images was not substantiated on reformats and may be artifactual. 3. prominence of the endometrial cavity is not optimally evaluated on this study. given postmenopausal status of the patient consider an nonemergent pelvic ultrasound for further evaluation. 4. abundant fecal loading in the rectosigmoid, could relate to constipation in the appropriate clinical setting. . egd: varices at the lower third of the esophagus and gastroesophageal junction varices at the gastroesophageal junction erosion in the stomach body otherwise normal egd to third part of the duodenum brief hospital course: 80yo female with h/o htn, hcv, who presents after being found down at home by family in setting of two weeks of nausea, abdominal pain and malaise, was found to have decreased hct (38.3 in to 27.9) and guiac positive stools, and who was initially admitted to micu given concern for gi bleeding. . #. altered mental status: patient had relatively undifferentiated ams on admission, and appeared somnolent and non-verbal. infectious work-up was negative, including unremarkable cxr, ua, and blood cultures that remained negative to date at time of discharge. hypoglycemia unlikely given normal sugars at presentation and no history of diabetes. ct head was negative for any acute intracranial process. ams may have been secondary to hypovolemia/hypotension, and the patient's hypotension (see below) responded to iv fluids. patient later noted to be oriented to person and place, not time, and was able to answer questions appropriately. per son, this is her baseline mental status. she continued to mentate well throughout rest of hospital course. . #. gi bleed: on arrival, patient noted to have decrease in hct from 38 in to 27, and had guiac positive dark brown stool. patient had hypotensive episode in ed requiring ivf, and was also transfused 4 units prbcs with subsequent stabilization of hct and hemodynamics. she was seen by gasteroenterology, and had endoscopy on which revealed varices at the lower third of the esophagus and gastroesophageal junction, as well as an erosion in the stomach body. no active bleeding was noted. the patient was started on a ppi, and should continue taking a ppi after discharge. aspirin was held, and patient should discuss restarting with pcp. presence of varices, likely in setting of hcv cirrhosis, the patient should have outpatient liver follow-up. the patient will also need a colonoscopy as an outpatient, though study will likely need to be done under general anesthesia as patient had brief episode of apnea during egd after receiving fentanyl/versed, and required narcan and nrb to stabilize respiratory status. . #. hepatitis c: patient has h/o hcv, genotype 5. transaminases mildly elevated, and ct abd/pelvis shows nodular cirrhosis and upper abdominal varices. egd confirmed grade i and grade ii varices in esophagus and gastroesophageal junction, with no evidence of active bleeding. of note, the patient's afp checked this admission was 5.1. the patient has outpatient liver follow-up scheduled. . #. hypotension: patient initially hypotensive in ed; which may have been multifactorial in setting of gi bleed and recent decreased po intake. patient received ivf and total transfusion of 4 units prbcs, with resultant improvement in bp. patient remained hemodynamically stable throughout rest of hospital course. . #. hypertension: once bp stabilized, patient returned to baseline level of hypertension. she was continued on outpatient regimen of hctz, spironolactone, lisinopril, and beta blocker was switched from atenolol to metoprolol during hospital course. if bp remains persistently elevated in outpatient setting, she may benefit from dose increase in her lisinopril or other antihypertensive . . #. fall: patient was found on ground at home from unwitnessed fall, which may have been mechanical or related to orthostatic hypotension. was placed in c-collar in ed, and was cleared after ct head and c-spine were negative. as above, infectious work-up negative. no evidence of cardiac etiology, and cardiac enzymes were negative. patient was monitored on telemetry. bp stabilized, and she was seen by pt prior to discharge home. . transitional issues: -code status: the patient was a full code during this admission. -imaging findings: ct abd/pelvis revealed possible endometrial wall thickening, and patient may benefit from pelvic ultrasound for further evaluation. ct c-spine showed calcification in the right thyroid lobe which could be evaluated with ultrasound in outpatient setting. -patient needs outpatient colonoscopy and liver follow-up. medications on admission: 1) atenolol 50 mg tablet by

Consider the following medical report that includes the patient's historical health records. Use it to predict the disease that the patient is high likely exposed to. Medical Report: allergies: zosyn attending: chief complaint: worsening rash, hypotension major surgical or invasive procedure: none history of present illness: hpi: 56f with a history of hypertension, hyperlipidemia, and depression who has had a complicated past 4-5 months history notable for post-ercp pancreatitis with ards/pneumonia requiring extensive icu stay, is readmitted following ercp yesterday and development of rash, fever, hypotension, and tachycardia at rehab today. . in this unilingual spanish speaking patient was admitted to w/ choledocholithiasis and bile duct dilatation on u/s. ercp on showed a 1cm stone that could not be removed. a bile duct stent was placed. after ercp, she developed pancreatitis c/b ards requiring icu admission and mechanical ventilation. because the patient continued to saturate at 87% on ra, she was discharged to rehabilitation on w/ 2l supplemental o2 by nc and a steroid taper. . she they re-presented to w/ ruq pain 3 days after discharge w/ worsening right upper quadrant pain. she was transferred to after ct abdomen showed a large multilobulated pancreatic pseudocyst possibly compressing the cbd. ercp revealed an obstructed stent in the major papilla. this stent was successfully replaced and a 5mm stone removed. post-procedure, the patient became tachycardic with sbp in the 80s and poor o2 sats, requiring phenylephrine and nrb in the ercp suite. she was admitted to the icu where she required intubation for hypoxic resiratory failure. the patient's shock was initially thought to be secondary to biliary sepsis, and she was treated with broad spectrum antibiotics, including vanc and zosyn, for strep anginosus and strep mileri in blood cultures. . the patient's liver enzymes and bilirubin trended down indicating that the restenting of the biliary system had succesfully decompressed the obstruction. repeat abdominal ct that showed the pancreatic pseudocyst had shrunk, but there was an increased amount of intra-peritoneal fluid, particularly in the left gutter. a drain was inserted into the paracolic gutter, which showed an amylase level of , suggesting that the patient's pseudocyst had ruptured, either before the patient's ercp or at some point in her hospital course. after draining the fluid collection, the patient's hemodynamic status improved. . she remained in the icu for over a month with persistent hypotension and intermittent fevers. after developing a diffuse rash, derm consulted and thought it was possibly related to zosyn drug reaction, and she was treated with a course of steroids. she ultimately was discharged to rehab with a tracheostomy. . this morning, following ercp yesterday, she spiked fevers to 102, became hypotensive to 80s systolic and hr to 150s. she was taken to and transferred here for further care. patient denies pain, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, cough, shortness of breath. of note, she recieved cipro and flagyl peri-procedure the day prior to admission past medical history: hypertension hyperlipidemia depression choledocholithiasis pancreatitis ards elbow surgery tubal ligation social history: currently living at . - tobacco: 2-3 per day for many years - alcohol: occasional - illicits: denies family history: sister s/p cholecystectomy physical exam: on discharge: v/s: t 97.8 p 96 bp 100/60 rr 18 o2 96% gen: nad, aax3 cv: rrr, no m/g/r lungs: ctab abd: soft, nt/nd pertinent results: 05:08pm blood wbc-25.2*# rbc-3.56* hgb-10.5* hct-31.6* mcv-89 mch-29.5 mchc-33.2 rdw-13.2 plt ct-266 05:45am blood wbc-9.7 rbc-3.52* hgb-10.4* hct-31.9* mcv-91 mch-29.6 mchc-32.7 rdw-13.8 plt ct-261 05:08pm blood neuts-97.9* lymphs-0.7* monos-0.6* eos-0.7 baso-0.1 01:48am blood neuts-59.8 lymphs-14.5* monos-2.5 eos-22.0* baso-1.1 05:08pm blood glucose-140* urean-16 creat-0.8 na-136 k-4.8 cl-107 hco3-22 angap-12 05:45am blood glucose-121* urean-12 creat-0.5 na-137 k-4.0 cl-103 hco3-27 angap-11 02:21am blood tsh-0.36 brief hospital course: the patient was admitted to the general surgical service for evaluation and treatment on . the patient was initially managed in the icu, and then transferred to the floor on once stable. neuro: the patient did not complain of pain during her stay. no pain medications were needed. she remained alert and oriented x3 during her entire hospital stay. cv: the patient was initially hypotensive upon admission with sbp in the 80s. a cvl was placed and she was started on levo/phenylephrine drip to keep sbp > 100. the patient was also given agressive fluid resuscitation and albumin to improve bp. the phenylephrine was weaned as patient's bp tolerated, and by hd3 it was stopped. the patient then remained stable from a cardiovascular standpoint; vital signs were routinely monitored. pulmonary: the patient remained stable from a pulmonary standpoint; vital signs were routinely monitored. good pulmonary toilet, early ambulation and incentive spirrometry were encouraged throughout hospitalization. gi/gu/fen: the patient was initially npo upon admission, but diet was advanced as tolerated without any problems. patient's intake and output were closely monitored, and iv fluid was adjusted when necessary. electrolytes were routinely followed, and repleted when necessary. id: the patient's white blood count and fever curves were closely watched for signs of infection. initially, the patient's wbc was elevated with a peak of 34 on hd2, but this came down rapidly and was normal upon discharge. the patient was initially started on empiric vancomycin. id was consulted and recommended amikacin, aztreonam, daptomycin, and clindamycin, which the patient was started on hd 2. dermatology was also consulted as well and felt that this was likely a drug induced reaction. after 48hrs of negative cultures all atbx were stopped. triamcinolone cream was applied to the rash, and it improved throughout the remainder of her stay. at time of discharge, patient appeared less red and the rash had improved substantially. endocrine: the patient's blood sugar was monitored throughout his stay; insulin dosing was adjusted accordingly. hematology: the patient's complete blood count was examined routinely; no transfusions were required. prophylaxis: the patient received subcutaneous heparin and venodyne boots were used during this stay; was encouraged to get up and ambulate as early as possible. ultimately, it was felt that the patient's condition was due to a drug reaction, likely from the cipro/flagyl that she received after the ercp. the patient should be avoid these medications in the future and other healthcare providers should be aware of this severe drug reaction. furthermore, caution should also be taken when giving iv contrast to this patient. it is possible that her reaction was exacerbated by the contrast given for her prior study. at the time of discharge, the patient was doing well, afebrile with stable vital signs. the patient was tolerating a regular diet, ambulating, voiding without assistance, and pain was well controlled. the patient received discharge teaching and follow-up instructions with understanding verbalized and agreement with the discharge plan. medications on admission: -mag oxide -prevacid 30 daily -lovenox 40 daily -pravastatn 40 daily -vitamin c, mvi -colace discharge medications: 1. triamcinolone acetonide 0.1 % ointment sig: one (1) appl topical (2 times a day) as needed for itchy rash. disp:*2 bottles* refills:*0* 2. citalopram 40 mg tablet sig: one (1) tablet po once a day. 3. pravastatin 40 mg tablet sig: one (1) tablet po once a day. 4. lansoprazole 30 mg capsule, delayed release(e.c.) sig: one (1) capsule, delayed release(e.c.) po once a day. discharge disposition: home with service facility: home health care agency discharge diagnosis: rash, hypotension discharge condition: mental status: clear and coherent. level of consciousness: alert and interactive. activity status: ambulatory - requires assistance or aid (walker or cane). discharge instructions: please call your doctor or nurse practitioner if you experience the following: *you experience new chest pain, pressure, squeezing or tightness. *new or worsening cough, shortness of breath, or wheeze. *if you are vomiting and cannot keep down fluids or your medications. *you are getting dehydrated due to continued vomiting, diarrhea, or other reasons. signs of dehydration include dry mouth, rapid heartbeat, or feeling dizzy or faint when standing. *you see blood or dark/black material when you vomit or have a bowel movement. *you experience burning when you urinate, have blood in your urine, or experience a discharge. *your pain is not improving within 8-12 hours or is not gone within 24 hours. call or return immediately if your pain is getting worse or changes location or moving to your chest or back. *you have shaking chills, or fever greater than 101.5 degrees fahrenheit or 38 degrees celsius. *any change in your symptoms, or any new symptoms that concern you. . general discharge instructions: please resume all regular home medications , unless specifically advised not to take a particular medication. also, please take any new medications as prescribed. please get plenty of rest, continue to ambulate several times per day, and drink adequate amounts of fluids. avoid lifting weights greater than lbs until you follow-up with your surgeon, who will instruct you further regarding activity restrictions. avoid driving or operating heavy machinery while taking pain medications. please follow-up with your surgeon and primary care provider (pcp) as advised. please monitor your rash and please notify your surgeon and pcp if rash is getting worse or if it becomes painful or more swollen. followup instructions: you have an appointment on @ 10:15 with dr. . you will have a ct scan performed on the day of your visit. dr. office will contact you with details regarding your ct scan. please call with any questions. procedure: venous catheterization, not elsewhere classified arterial catheterization diagnoses: other iatrogenic hypotension unspecified essential hypertension depressive disorder, not elsewhere classified other and unspecified hyperlipidemia dermatitis due to drugs and medicines taken internally fever, unspecified systemic inflammatory response syndrome due to noninfectious process without acute organ dysfunction other specified antibiotics causing adverse effects in therapeutic use tachycardia, unspecified other antiprotozoal drugs causing adverse effects in therapeutic use Answer: The patient is high likely exposed to

Medical Report: allergies: sulfa (sulfonamides) / aloe / bactrim / codeine attending: chief complaint: perforation of the distal esophagus with bilateral pleural effusions. major surgical or invasive procedure: insertion of right chest tube. 2. esophagogastroduodenoscopy. 3. left thoracotomy with drainage and debridement of left pleural space and mediastinum, primary repair of distal esophagus with intercostal muscle flap. history of present illness: ms. is an unfortunate 88-year-old woman who had several episodes of forceful vomiting approximately 11 hours ago with almost immediate onset of left-sided chest pain. she presented to the where she was found to have what was initially felt to be a dense infiltrate in the left lung but on ct scan was found to be a left hydropneumothorax. a chest tube was placed, draining gastric contents suggesting an acute esophageal perforation. she was transferred to the where a ct scan with oral contrast confirmed extravasation within the left chest. while she initially refused operative management, after further discussions with her and her family, she agreed to undergo repair. past medical history: htn, s/p chole, s/p tah social history: lives in . has daughter involved in her care family history: non-contributory pertinent results: barium swallow: the patient was placed in semi-upright position on the fluoroscopic table and conray contrast was administered. subsequently, thin barium was administered. the contrast material passes freely into the stomach without evidence of leak or obstruction. impression: no evidence of leak. chest ct impression: resolution of pneumomediastinum and pneumothorax. almost complete resolution of bibasilar consolidations. residual ground-glass opacities are in the right upper lobe anteriorly and lingula. loculated left pleural effusion. moderate-size layering right pleural effusion, stable c-line tip w/ pseudomonas- on meropenum started c-diff pending . brief hospital course: mrs. was admitted on via the emergency room and was taken emergently to the operating room. her esophageal perforation was repaired. please refer to the operative note of for further details of the operation. she was taken to the csru post-operatively for care and required ongoing intravenous fluid resuscitation to correct her lactic acidosis. she was started on tpn. on pod#1, she was extubated and diuresis was started to optimize her pulmonary status. on pod#2, her thoracostomy tubes were placed to water seal. she was out of bed to a chair and did well. on pod#3, she was assessed by the physical and occupational therapy services. she was transferred to the floor later that day. on pod#4, her apical thoracostomy tube was removed without incident. she ambulated and participated in physical therapy. on pod#4, her right thoracostomy tube was removed without complication, as was her foley catheter. on pod#, she was noted to have rising leukocytosis. her central venous catheter was removed on pod#6 and the tip was sent for culture. her nasogastric tube was removed. she underwent a fluoroscopic esophagus study which was normal. she was given clears to drink and tolerated them well. on pod#7, a ct scan of the chest was performed to evaluate for sources of infection that could be contributing to her leukocytosis. this showed resolution of pneumomediastinum, almost complete resolution of bibasilar consolidations, residual ground-glass opacities in the right upper lobe anteriorly and lingula, and a loculated left pleural effusion. based on these findings, her left-sided drain was withdrawn a few centimeters and her thoracostomy tube was converted to an empyema tube and left to drain the effusion. her foley catheter was reinserted for a post-void residual of >900ml. on pod#8, her catheter tip culture was positive for p. aeruginosa sensitive to ampicillin, imipenem and meropenem. she was started on meropenem for a 10-day course per the recommendations of the infectious diseases service. a picc line was placed on pod#9. she began having copious diarrhea, and empiric oral metronidazole was started for c. difficile colitis. she failed another voiding trial, and a foley catheter was also replaced due to urinary retention. at the time of discharge, she was eating a regular diet, and ambulating with physical therapy. she is discharged with a foley catheter, a chest drain, and an open-ended thoracostomy tube for drainage. she is to follow up with dr. in clinic in weeks. medications on admission: atenolol, lisinopril discharge medications: 1. heparin

be noted, that at the current time of this dictation, the official report is unavailable. the patient is an 84-year-old male with a past medical history of copd, aaa, cad, dementia, amyloid angiopathy, who presents from the micu to the floor extubated, with a stable hematocrit, status post non st elevation mi and upper gi bleed at the outside hospital and in general doing well. 1. cardiovascular: a. cad: the patient had a small elevation in troponin thought secondary to a small non st elevation mi. the cks were flat, according to the outside hospital. he was placed on an ace inhibitor 30 q.d. he was placed on a low-dose of beta blocker 12.5 b.i.d. and tolerated it despite his recent copd exacerbation. his aspirin was held given the gi bleed and the amyloid angiopathy. his

secondary to the upper gi bleed and the amyloid angiopathy. again, he is also receiving tpi. reason for transfer: abdominal aortic aneurysm (aaa). the patient had an angiogram which confirmed the infrarenal aaa. the vascular team and the interventional radiology teams were consulted regarding the patient's care. the vascular team evaluated the patient and consulted the patient's family and our attending dr. spoke with the patient's pcp, to figure out what the best course of action for the patient given not only his baseline dementia but his significant comorbidities, his recent non st elevation mi and yet making him a very high risk for any intervention, whether it be endovascular repair or open repair versus the significant risk of rupture of a 6.3 cm aaa. after repeated consultation, the family, specifically the patient's wife who also spoke with her son, agreed that she would like to defer and not perform surgery on the patient at the current time in order to preserve the quality of life and time that she has with him and not have his last days be spent in the hospital. the cost and benefits as well as the risks of the aaa, the patient's mortality were explained to the patient both by the surgical team and the medical intern. the patient will be discharge back to for maximization of his pulmonary status following recent extubation and for for peg tube placement secondary to failed swallowing test and significant aspiration. issues to follow-up on are to watch the patient's creatinine, check cbcs and trend his white count, to culture him if he spikes, to taper down his steroids and to have pulmonary toilet or repeated suctioning for the patient's oral secretions. we recommend using a shovel mask with humidified air/oxygen to help moisturize the patient's oral secretions to prevent mucous plugging, and, of course, the peg tube and/or adequate nutrition for the patient so he can heal from these recent illnesses. after these issues have been resolved, we expect that the patient can be transferred back to his nursing home in a short order. the patient is expected to be discharged back to on . discharge diagnosis: 1. abdominal aortic

woman with end stage class iv heart failure with ef <10%, non-ischemic cardiomyopathy s/p biventricular pacemaker admitted with worsening heart faillure and volume overload, now s/p rbb ablation and diuresis. 1. cardiac: a. pump: class iv heart failure, non-ischemic cardiomyopathy with -v pacemaker/defibrillator admitted with worsening heart failure and volume overload likely to medication discontinuation. initially started on milrinone gtt however she did not tolerate this to hypotension with sbp's <70. diuresed on iv lasix and metolazone with good effect. she had rbb ablation resulting in complete heart block for rate control as she had afib with rapid conduction down native pathway likely contributing to hypotension. immediately following ablation she had significant increase in blood pressure resulting in increased afterload and flash pulmonary edema requiring intubation for short period of time. post ablation she was started on dobutamine gtt and diuresis was continued with good effect. aggressive diuresis was discontinued once she developed contraction alkalosis and a bump in creatinine. she had complete resolution of pleural effusions and pulmonary edema on chest xray prior to discharge. she was discharged on dobutamine 10mcg/kg/min gtt and digoxin -tolerate sbp's in the 70's - lasix 20 mg qday on discharge -coumadin was restarted prior to discharge given increased risk of embolic complications in setting of advanced heart failure -continue spironolactone 25mg daily -all other prior cardiac medications were discontinued . b. ischaemia: no signs of coronary artery disease on recent cath continue aspirin -simvastatin was discontinued as no sign of atherosclerotic disease . c. rhythm: s/p rbb ablation, now in paced rhythm with -v pacer set at 100bpm -occasional pvc's on tele, blood pressure more stable with resultant rate control . 2. acute renal failure: baseline creatinine 1.1-1.2, creatinine increased during admission aggressive diuresis, stable and trending down on discharge with creatinine of 1.3 on discharge - euvolemic on discharge -lasix 20mg po daily for maintenance, follow daily weights to guide dose adjustment -will not use as she did not tolerate trial as she developed hypotension requiring 12 hours of dopamine gtt. . 3. flash pulmonary edema requiring intubation - following rbb ablation she had immediate increase in sbp to 120's. this abrupt increase in afterload likely caused flash pulmonary edema as explanation for acute respiratory distress which developed at the end of the ep procedure. felt that respiratory failure was impending and she was intubated and started on dopamine gtt. she responded well to this treatment and she was extubated without event 48 hours later and switched back from dopamine to dobutamine. . 4.productive cough - with crackles on exam l greater than right; possible pneumonia given 2 days of intubation during this admission. treat with levofloxacin q 48 hours for

Consider the following medical report that includes the patient's historical health records. Use it to predict the disease that the patient is high likely exposed to. Medical Report: history of present illness: this is a 72-year-old male with unknown past medical history who presents to the emergency department after not having seen a physician and having been off all medications for two to three years prior to admission. he presents with a complaint of left leg pain. the patient notes a history of falling down approximately 24 hours prior to presentation. it is unclear what precipitated the fall. the patient does not know if he had any loss of consciousness or whether there was seizure activity. the fall was unwitnessed. the patient does have a right lower extremity prosthesis which was dysfunctional. the patient was also found to have a history of diabetes mellitus which has been untreated for three years. the patient's history is that patient fell as he was trying to get up from a chair and was lying on the floor for about 24 hours. the patient was resistant to having his family call emergency medical services and finally his family was able to convince him to come to the hospital. when the patient arrived at the hospital, he also noted a history of vomiting coffee ground material about two to three days prior to admission. in the emergency department, he also was found to have some coffee ground emesis. further evaluation in the emergency department revealed a left subtrochanteric comminuted femur fracture in addition to diabetic ketoacidosis with an anion gap of 28 and a blood glucose of 689 with a urinalysis revealing greater than 1000 glucose as well as ketones. in addition, the patient was found to have an upper gastrointestinal bleed. a nasogastric tube lavage was done which cleared after 1 liter of normal saline and further laboratory data revealed a ck of 2579 with repeat cks of 2977 and 3523 with mb indexes of 18, 26 and 24 respectively. troponin of 19.5 and then greater than 50. the patient was seen by the cardiology, orthopedics, gastroenterology services in the emergency department. his diabetic ketoacidosis was stabilized with a close anion gap after treatment with an insulin drip, as well as aggressive fluid hydration. the patient was also started on aspirin, beta blocker and heparin for his acute myocardial infarction. electrocardiogram done in the emergency department revealed left bundle branch block as well as q waves in v1, v2 and v3 with a question of an irregular sinus rhythm. these changes were new compared to a prior electrocardiogram in . past medical history: 1. diabetes mellitus 2. coronary artery disease 3. hypercholesterolemia 4. peripheral vascular disease 5. right bka 6. urinary incontinence allergies: no known drug allergies. admission medications: none x3 years. hospital course: 1. cardiology: the patient was found to have an acute myocardial infarction. on , day #3 of hospital course, the patient underwent cardiac catheterization. he had two stents placed to the lad as well as a percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty of his diagonal. he was also maintained on enteric coated aspirin 325 mg beta blocker and ace inhibitor. the patient was placed on plavix several days after his cardiac catheterization was done secondary to need for orthopedic surgery for the left femur fracture. the patient had three separate episodes of asymptomatic four to five beat runs of v-tach. the patient also had episodes of bradycardia while asleep with a heart rate of 39, also asymptomatic. cardiology consult was obtained and followed patient throughout hospital course. cardiology consult was questioned about need for ep evaluation of question of a defibrillator given several episodes of v-tach, however decision was made to follow up as an outpatient and if patient was then stable with physical therapy and rehabilitation, to then consider ep evaluation and referral to their services. the patient only had one episode of chest pain during hospital course which was decreased and resolved with two sublingual nitroglycerin as well as lopressor 5 mg intravenous push. 2. upper gastrointestinal bleed: the patient's upper gastrointestinal bleed remained stable throughout hospital course with no further episodes of coffee ground emesis or vomiting of bright red blood. two to three nasogastric tube lavages were clear and did not show any evidence of active bleed. no esophagogastroduodenoscopy was done, however the patient was followed by the gastroenterology service given concerns about esophagogastroduodenoscopy in the peri myocardial infarction period. diagnosis was likely - tear which will heal on its own. the patient may need outpatient gastrointestinal follow up for an esophagogastroduodenoscopy in the future. 3. diabetes mellitus: consult was obtained to optimize glycemic control. the patient was placed on a regular insulin sliding scale, as well as nph which were titrated up to a dose of 12 units in the morning, 10 units at night. upon discharge, learning center staff to teach patient about insulin administration. the patient had no further episodes of hypoglycemia during hospital course. 4. orthopedics: the patient was initially placed in buck's traction in the emergency department. for the first several days of hospital course, surgery had to be delayed given concerns of cardiac function. the patient eventually had a traction pin placed in the distal left femur on the day prior to left open reduction internal fixation. the patient had left open reduction internal fixation with .............. placement on and did quite well; after that only requiring one to two doses of percocet per day for pain control. the patient was in the surgical intensive care unit for one to two days after surgery, during which time he was successfully extubated and stabilized with no further issues with his congestive heart failure. the patient did have a 9 unit blood transfusion during his hospital course, however likely source was the left thigh. digit to be removed on . pt aggressively treating patient daily and patient will go to rehabilitation for further aggressive rehabilitation as well as receive a prosthesis for his right bka. note: rest of the dictation will be done as an addendum. , m.d. dictated by: medquist36 procedure: insertion of non-drug-eluting coronary artery stent(s) combined right and left heart cardiac catheterization angiocardiography of left heart structures other and unspecified coronary arteriography open reduction of fracture with internal fixation, femur diagnoses: subendocardial infarction, initial episode of care coronary atherosclerosis of native coronary artery iron deficiency anemia secondary to blood loss (chronic) unspecified fall hematemesis closed fracture of subtrochanteric section of neck of femur gastroesophageal laceration-hemorrhage syndrome diabetes with neurological manifestations, type i [juvenile type], uncontrolled diabetes with ketoacidosis, type i [juvenile type], uncontrolled Answer: The patient is high likely exposed to

(c diff negative.) the patient will be discharged on oral metronidazole to be continued as long as she is on nafcillin. a tee on was negative for endocarditis. mrv negative for jugular thrombus plan- patient will complete a six week course of iv nafcillin (2 grams q4hours). she will be evaluated by id upon completion of this course at which time recommendations for any further antibiotic treatment will be made. the patient also has a 6 week follow up appointment with ortho/spine re: her paraspinal abscess. . #) renal failure: pt developed arf to sepsis and consequent atn. the renal team was consulted and followed the patient closely throughout her admission. she developed rising creatinine and oliguria refractory to high-dose diuretics. therefore she was started on hemodialysis on . a tunneled ij catheter was placed. as her hd catheter was thought to be cause of fever/sepsis and , line pulled . a temporary ir placed hd catheter was placed , this was changed for a permanent catheter on . she is currently on hd mwf. she continues on nephrocaps. she was initially oliguric, however on she began to make increasing amounts of urine. per renal, she continued to require tiw dialysis at discharge, however, the patient will follow up with renal as an outpatient for monitoring of her renal function as we do hope that it will continue to improve and she may not require lifetime dialysis. . #) sdh: ct scan done showed small subdural hemorrhage. neurosurgery was consulted, and they recommended a goal inr of <1.3, but stated that prophylactic sq heparin would not be problem. she was treated with keppra (500 x 2 days, 1000mg x 8 days). a repeat head ct revealed improvement in sdh. #) afib w/ rvr: patient had an episode of afib with rvr on . the afib resolved with 5 mg iv lopressor. she did have 2 recurrent episodes of afib during the admission (most recently ), both of which quickly resolved with metoprolol 5 mg iv x1. she remained in normal sinus rhythm for the rest of the admission and is discharged on low dose metoprolol. #) elevated lfts: most likely from sepsis, though patient was complaining of abdominal pain. no obvious abnormality on ct scan. us of liver showed diffusely increased echogenicity throughout the liver. finding likely reflecting fatty infiltration, although more severe forms of liver disease including hepatic fibrosis or cirrhosis are not excluded. by her lft's has trended down, however her alkaline phos remained elevated throughout the admission, etiology was unclear, however an elevated ggt suggested a hepatic etiology. . #)gi: patient developed increasing abdominal pain on . kub at that time revealed possible ileus, abdominal ct on and again on were unremarkable. the patient then developed diarrhea. c diff was negative x1, however, the patient was started on empiric po metronidazole. she will continue on metronidazole for the course of her naficillin regimen. . #) diabetes: the patient has a history of non-insulin dependent dm. she was managed on an regular insulin sliding scale throughout the admission. there were no active issues with her diabetes. . #) anemia: the patient received multiple transfusions of prbcs this admission for low hct. her anemia is thought to be chronic disease. #) psych- the patient has a history of anxiety. she was continued on her home medication regimen. she did require daily emotional support from the nursing staff. . * on day of discharge her foley was discontinued and she was noted to have cloudy urine. ua was consistent with uti. she was discharged on a short-course of

impression: stable cardiomegaly with no acute cardiopulmonary abnormality. leni: color and grayscale son of bilateral common femoral, left-sided superficial femoral, popliteal and calf veins were performed. flow was seen within the calf veins. remaining vessels demonstrated normal flow, augmentation, and compressibility. there is edema within the superficial tissues of the calf. impression: no evidence of dvt. calf edema. ruq: the liver is diffusely echogenic, consistent with fatty infiltration or cirrhosis. the main portal vein is patent with hepatopetal flow. this study is severely limited due to body habitus and liver echogenicity. the patient is status post cholecystectomy. the common duct is not identified. there is no ascites. impression: limited study with echogenic liver, consistent with fatty infiltration or cirrhosis; advanced liver disease including significant hepatic fibrosis/cirrhosis cannot be excluded on this study. portal vein is grossly patent. cxr: the previously noted right upper extremity approach picc line has been removed in the interval. lung volumes are markedly diminished. there is resultant bronchovascular crowding at the lung bases and linear opacity at the right lung base in particular. no focal consolidation or superimposed edema is noted. the mediastinum is grossly unremarkable. the cardiac silhouette, though accentuated by low lung volumes is stable in size. no effusion or pneumothorax is noted. the visualized osseous structures are unremarkable. low lung volumes, with bronchovascular crowding. no definite acute pulmonary process identified. ct head: no acute intracranial process. again note is made of nonspecific low density bilaterally within internal capsules. as previously, we would recommend a nonurgent mri to follow up this finding. brief hospital course: 42 year old female with history of etoh abuse, depression, anxiety, and prior reux-en-y gastric bypass surgery admitted with encephalopathy and jaundice found to have alcoholic hepatitis, whose course has been c/b uti, encephalopathy, and etoh withdrawal. # alcoholic hepatitis: the patient presented with jaundice, ast>>alt, and markedly elevated tbili. discriminant function was ~54. steroids were initially held due to concern about possible infection. then, prednisone was started on . viral hepatitis serologies were negative. bilirubin trended down to nadir of 13.9, but then stabilized around 14-15. all hepatically cleared medications were held during this time. she was given pantoprazole, vitamin d, and calcium given high dose steroids. her sugars were monitorred on high dose steroids but she did not require any insulin administration, likely a result of impaired gluconeogenesis. prednisone was stopped on given new leukocytosis and fevers. pantoprazole and calcium were subsequently stopped. vitamin d therapy was continued given documented history of vitamin d deficiency. she was given oxycodone for her pain. she will follow up with liver as an outpatient. she was told to abstain from alcohol or risk permanent liver damage from alcohol. # urinary tract infection: initially a source of infection was unclear, so the patient was started on empiric vancomycin and ceftriaxone, broadened to vanc/cefepime upon admission to the icu. urine culture grew e. coli. antibiotics were narrowed to ceftriaxone when urine culture data/sensitivies became available. she was continued ceftriaxone for a total 7 day course. # encephalopathy: likely secondary to hepatic encephalopathy in the setting of alcoholic hepatitis and uti. no ascites on ultrasound for sbp. no portal/splenic vein thrombosis. head ct was negative. the patient was treated with antibiotics as above. she was also given lactulose 30ml qid, titrated to to bowel movements daily. at the time of discharge, her mental status was back to her baseline with attention intact. # elevated lactate: patient with initial lactate 9 --> 2.8 with aggressive volume resuscitation. she also initially had an anion gap lactic acidosis. this was most likely secondary to alcoholic hepatitis and uti. # alcohol withdrawal: patient and family states she has had seizures in the past. reportedly last drink two days ago and patient's alcohol level was negative on tox screen. she was maintained ativan 1-2mg iv q2 hours with ciwa >10. she was given a banana bag overnight, then continued on iv thiamine and given po folate/mvi. social work was involved and set her up with community health center where there is individual counseling and a structured relapse prevention program. the patient began to withdraw on and was treated with iv lorazepam intially every one hour per ciwa >10. this was gradually broadened back to every 2-4 hours. her ciwa scale was discontinued four days prior to discharge. she was continued on oral thiamine, mvi, and folate. she was given ensure supplementation. # fever and leukocytosis: the patient developed fever and leukocytosis after alcoholic hepatitis was improving. she was hemodynamically stable with the exception of persistent tachycardia. she had no localizing signs or symptoms of infection. leni of the left leg was negative for dvt, with cxr without infiltrate. ua was within normal limits. blood cultures are pending at the time of discharge. fever has resolved and leukocytosis is trending down now that steroids have been stopped. # megaloblastic anemia: possibly multifactorial with chronic liver disease, with poor marrow response and poor nutrition contributing. the patient was guaiac positive, with inr 2.1 in the setting of decompensated liver disease and alcohol abuse. the patient was also hemodiluted with ~7l normal saline given in the emergency room. the patient's hematocrit has intermittently been this low in the past. she received 2 unit of prbcs and bumped hct appropriately. this also was used as colloid resuscitation which improved her bp. iron studies were done but are unrelieable after blood transfusion. b12 and folate were within normal limits. her hematocrit was stable around 25 for the week prior to discharge. she will need iron studies performed as an outpatient. # thrombocytopenia: likely in the setting of splenic sequestration from portal hypertension, liver disease. pneumoboots were used for dvt prophylaxis. # depression/anxiety: stable, med rec was performed with pharmacy and the patient is not on antidepressants at home. all sedating medications were held given hepatotoxicity or hepatic clearance including trazodone, zolpidem, and gabapentin. gabapentin was re-started on . # urinary incontinence: stable during admission. the patient is followed by urology as outpatient. solifenacin was held during admission. # depression: emotionally labile, currently not on antidepressants. improved mood and affect towards the end of admission. psychiatry followed along inpatient and recommended celexa once lft's improved. # left leg weakness: this is most likely secondary to alcohol, prolonged immobility, and deconditioning. there was also an element of functional weakness as the patient was able to hold her leg up upon exam. tsh slightly elevated but free t4 within normal limits. a pt consult was obtained who recommended rehabilitation. medications on admission: * gabapentin 300mg three times daily * hydroxyzine ?25mg three times daily * lidocaine 5% patch * solifenacin 5mg daily (antispasmodic, antimuscarinic) * trazodone 100mg qhs * zolpidem 10mg twice daily * docusate 100mg twice daily * ferrous sulfate 325mg daily *

could represent a liquefying hematoma or, if the thigh circumference has increased, could be due to acute bleeding. 2. no retroperitoneal hematoma. 3. malpositioned ng tube, with side ports at the level of the ge junction, advancement recommended. brief hospital course: patient is a 69 year old man with mechanical heart valve and a fib, admitted for anticoagulation before pvi ablation by ep the day after admission. initially his inr was 3.1, so heparin drip was discontinued. continued on home dose of atenolol and aspirin. continue home rosuvastatin 10 mg po daily. repeat inr the morning of was 2.1, so patient was taken to cath lab for procedure. after his procedure, he became tremulous and agitated in the pacu with significant groin bleeding. this was attributed to alcohol withdrawl and the patient confirmed his last drink was 36 hours prior and that he drinks 10 beers per day. per patient, he has become tremulous during admissions in the past. no history of seizures or hallucination. given difficulty with holding pressure and significant groin bleeding, patient was intubated in the pacu and sent to the icu on . he was then treated with iv diazepam for withdrawl per ciwa protocol. on patient was restarted on warfarin 10mg but had a significant hct drop and was treated with vitamin k, platelets and ffp on . on extubation was attempted but the patient failed due to altered mental status so was reintubated. sputum grew gpcs. # respiratory status- for his respiratory status, patient was initially intubated for delirium, inability to control bleeding. he was then extubated and reintubated on with continued altered mental status in the setting of valium. on he was also started on vanc/levofloxacin for concern for cap and gpc in sputum & cxr concerning for left lung process. vanco was discontinued as sputum grew mssa. mini-bal on revealed no microrganisms and no pmns, which ultimately grew oral flora. tee was obtained to look for vegetations, but none were found. also on , he spiked a new fever and was pancultured and antibiotics were broadened to cipro/vanc/zosyn for vap. given his failure to improve for several days following, ip was contact for possible trach placement but could not do so given his c-collar. ultimately, his rsbi did improve to < 105 and on he was extubated. his cough was not overly strong initially and he did require frequent suctioning but was able to protect his airway. on his sputum culture revealed enterobacter aerogenes and his antibiotics were narrowed to cefepime. the patient finished a full 8 day course of cefepime and had no furthe symptoms. ** pt was also found to have small lung nodules on ct scan of your chest. it is unclear if these are significant. the radiologists recommend follow up in 6 months. # groin hematoma- for his traumatic sheath pull, ep and vascular continued to monitor his groin wound and provide recommedations. given his avr, ep encouraged heparin gtt as much as possible to minimize the risk of emobolic cva. ultimately, patient was restarted successfully on a heparin gtt without a hct drop until . left thigh was also thought to be expanding at that time. vascular evaluated the patient and thought a wound exploration was warranted. thus, on he went to the or were evaluation revealed no active extravasation but old, liquified hematoma. a jp was placed and monitored for several days until ultimately pulled on . on pt was reevaluated by vascualar surgery, looked well, and his staples were taken out. # ams - for his altered mental status, this was initially attributed to valium use in the setting of poor hepatic function and failure to clear. as time continued, more extensive work-up was pursued for infectious etiology (pneumonia was found, but no other source was identified) versus a neurologic process. there was also concern that the patient was moving his left side more sluggishly. per his wife, he always had a left foot drop. evoke potentials were obtained and were unremarkable. repeat ct / mri imaging was unrevealing. eeg without evidence of seizure. the patient was noted to have cervical spondylosis with mild-to-moderate spinal stenosis at c3-4 and c4-5 with mild extrinsic indentation on the spinal cord, but no evidence of cord impingement. neurosurgery was consulted and recommended wearing a c-collar until could be clinically cleared. thyroid studies checked and normal. patient was treated with thiamine, folate and a multivitamin given his alcohol history. for concern for hepatic encephalopathy he was started on lactulose. this was continued as his primary bowel regimen, though there was no definitive evidence of hepatic encephalopathy. his lactulose was discontinued as hepatic encephalopathy was unlikely. pt was thought to have delirium vs. korsakoff syndrome etoh. pt intially had significant sundowning and agitiation that would require haldol 2-3mg overnight. his mental status slowly improved at time of discharge he is now a&ox3, conversing with memory intact. he may require a small dose of haldol for the next few days, but we do not expect this to be an ongoing issue with is resolving delirium. thaimine and folate were added to his outgoing medications. # cervical spondylosis: (as above) per neurosurgery, pt to remain in c collar until neurosurg f/u in wks w/ dr. . he can come out of c collar for showers and shoort periods but should careful to avoid hyperextension. # atrial fibrillation- for his atrial fibrillation, patient underwent pvi placement. anticoagulation was above, being held when evidence of active bleeding, and continued when more stable. given his tenuous status, warfarin was not restarted after the initial trial on while the patient was in the micu. plan to restart warfarin on the floor. he was continued on amiodarone taper per ep service. while in icu, patient remained in sinus rhythm. pt is going to be continued on amiodirone. his tsh was mildy elevated but ft4 was normal, and lfts were mildly elevated. pt should have pfts as outpatient as a baseline, and be followed every 6 months. his tsh and lfts should also be continued to be followed. concerning anticoagulation pt was placed on heparin while his inr became subtherapeutic, but was d/c once pt reached his goal of 2.5-3.5 (due to the mechanical valve). pt's warfarin was increased to 9mg four times per week, and 7.5mg three times per week. # pt was on vanco for coag neg staph from in bottles coag neg staph. the source was unclear as had no central lines at that time. tte was neg but not optimal for evaluation of valve but pt not stable enough for tee. picc in place and plan to cont vanco for 6 wk course. the cultures were reviewed by infectious disease who believed that the bactermia was contiminant and vancomycin was discontinued. pt did also have vre in one bottle on from picc which was removed and pt remined afebrile, w nl wbc, continued clinical improvement, also future blood cultures remained negative, and again this was not treated. # dilated ascending aorta - incidentally noted on one of the ct scans done in icu. ct surgery here thought that this would be okay to be followed up as outpt with ct surgery. wife was informed about this and about the lung nodules and phone numbers for ct surgery provided for outpt fu # hyperlipidemia, the patient was continued on rosuvastatin medications on admission: furosemide 40 mg po daily lisinopril 20 mg po daily atenelol 25 mg po daily rosuvastatin 10 mg po daily warfarin, usually 4 days 7.5 mg, 3 day 5 mg.

stenosis discharge condition: hemodynamically stable and afebrile. discharge instructions: you had a procedure done (pulmonary vein isolation) to correct the rhythm of your heart. your procedure was complicated by alcohol withdrawal, bleeding from your groin, confusion requiring intubation for lung safety and extubation. imaging also revealed that you have narrowing in your spinal canal so you were placed in a hard cervical collar. once improved, you were sent from the icu to the regular hospital floor. we treated you for pneumonia with zosyn, and were thought to have endocarditis but the bacteria in the blood was found to be a contaminated and the antibiotic was discontinued. his mental status is likely delirium that is slowly resolving. you will have a monitor at home to use if you notice yourself going back into the atrial fibrillation rhythm. medication changes: - we have added a new medication called amiodarone to help you stay in a regular rhythm. follow the directions on your prescription. your atenolol was changed to metoprol while inpatient and you have been stable on this metoprol dose. - your lisinopril dose was decreased - folic acid and thiamine are vitamins that are important to take every day. ** you were found to have small lung nodules on ct scan of your chest. it is unclear if these are significant. the radiologists recommend follow up in 6 months.

Consider the following medical report that includes the patient's historical health records. Use it to predict the disease that the patient is high likely exposed to. Medical Report: history of present illness: this is a 64 year-old vietnamese male with a history of anoxic brain injury from a v fibrillation arrest that occurred five years prior and diabetes mellitus brought by ambulance after family noticed increases in lethargy, decrease in po intake and increasing generalized weakness over the past one week. the patient was also noted to have some urinary incontinence times two to three days. the family denied nausea, vomiting, cough, diarrhea, new rash, fevers or chills. the patient is very difficulty to communicate with at baseline. past medical history: 1. anoxic brain injury five years ago secondary to a v fibrillation arrest secondary to myocardial infarction. 2. diabetes mellitus. medications: klonopin 1 mg po b.i.d., avandia the dose is unknown apparent the patient's primary care physician . prescribed avandia some time ago and it was discontinued by the family for an unknown reason. allergies: no known drug allergies. social history: the patient with his family and is cared for by his wife and sons. review of systems: please see history of present illness. emergency department course: in the emergency department the patient's finger stick blood glucose was 900. it was measured at 624 in the serum. the patient's sodium was 173 corrected for hyperglycemia his sodium was 181. the patient was minimally responsive with a temperature of 101.2. workup for the source of infection and mental status changes resulted in the negative head ct, negative lumbar puncture, negative urinalysis, negative chest x-ray. the patient was given ceftriaxone and 8 units of regular insulin in the emergency room as well as hydrated. physical examination: temperature 101.8. blood pressure 121/62. respirations 24. pulse ox 98% on room air. general, the patient is somnolent, but opens eyes to sternal rub. heent mucous membranes dry. no icterus. no pallor. supple neck. no bruits. cardiovascular regular rate and rhythm. no murmurs, rubs or gallops. no jugulovenous distention. no peripheral edema. pulmonary lungs clear to auscultation. abdomen soft, nontender, nondistended. no palpable masses. extremities warm, dry, 2+ dorsalis pedis pulses, symmetric. laboratories on admission: sodium 172 corrected sodium 181, potassium 3.4, chloride 130, bicarb 29, bun 38, creatinine 2.2. the patient's baseline creatinine is apparently 1.0. serum blood glucose 624. blood gas revealed ph of 7.34, pco2 56 and po2 of 85. creatine kinase was 18, 100, 69, small amount of acetone noted in the serum. electrocardiogram demonstrated normal sinus rhythm at 105 beats per minute, normal axis. hospital course: 1. diabetes mellitus: the patient presented in nonketonic hyperosmolar coma, which resolved with hydration with one quarter normal saline, because of the hypernatremia and insulin drip. the patient was subsequently switched to a regular insulin sliding scale, which was subsequently advanced to avandia 4 mg po q day and nph 20 units q.a.m. with regular insulin sliding scale coverage. prior to being switched to the nph and avandia the patient had several blood sugars in the 400s. 2. hypernatremia: as stated above the patient's corrected sodium on presentation was 181. his fluid deficit was found to be 11 liters. his sodium was corrected at a rate of approximately 1 milliequivalent an hour with hydration with one quarter normal saline. the patient's sodium resolved to normal levels within three days. after stopping intravenous fluid after transfer to the floor the patient was found to have a slowly rising sodium again. renal service who was following the patient expressed concerned that this may be due to diabetes insipidus as opposed to polyuria secondary to atn. please see hospital course for acute renal failure below. at the request of the renal service the patient's intravenous fluids were stopped and urine and serum osmolalities and sodiums were drawn at 0, 2 and 4 hours. the results of this test appeared that the patient was able to concentrate his urine and thus his polyuria and slowly elevating hypernatremia with no supplemental fluids was attributed to resolving polyuria from resolving atn. 3. acute renal failure: the patient's creatinine at the time of admission was 1.8. his baseline is reportedly 1.0 per his primary care physician. creatinine subsequently peaked in the micu to 2.6 and resolved down to 20 after transfer to the floor. muddy brown casts were found on examination of the urine and fractional excretion of sodium was 6% both consistent with atn. the patient's polyuria gradually decreased after transfer to the floor with his urine output down to roughly 2 liters on the day of discharge. the acute renal failure was attributed to both a prerenal state secondary to hyperglycemia and subsequent diuresis and also to rhabdomyolysis. the patient's ck was about on presentation, peaked at 11,000 and resolved after transfer to the floor. it is unclear if his rhabdomyolysis is as a result of his metabolic disarray or if the patient's seized from having such an elevated sodium. 4. fevers: the fever workup initiated in the emergency room (please see emergency room course above) was done in addition to pan culture. all results were negative and the patient eventually quit spiking a fever and remained afebrile throughout the rest of his hospitalization. thought was given to his fevers being a result of his metabolic disorder in combination with his anoxic brain injury. 5. neurological status: after treatment with hydration and insulin drip for hypernatremia, hyperglycemia the patient's mental status improved to baseline per his family. discharge status: the patient is stable for discharge to either an extended care facility or to home with visiting nurse. after discussion with the family it was decided that the patient would not be appropriately cared for at home and that he would be placed in an extended care facility. the patient is currently on avandia 4 mg po q day and 20 of nph insulin q.a.m. with a regular insulin sliding scale and has achieved reasonable glucose control, but this will likely need better titration as an outpatient and can be guided by his primary care physician . . it is also recommended that the patient have his bun, creatinine and sodium checked at least every other day for the first week of his stay at this facility. discharge medications: 1. klonopin 1 mg po b.i.d. 2. insulin nph 20 units subq q.a.m. 3. avandia 4 mg po q day. 4. regular insulin sliding scale. 5. metoprolol 50 mg po b.i.d. 6. protonix 40 mg po q day. 7. tylenol 325 to 650 mg po q 4 to 6 hours prn. discharge diagnoses: 1. nonketotic hyperosmolar coma. 2. hypernatremia. 3. acute renal failure secondary to prerenal causes and rhabdomyolysis. 4. acute tubular necrosis. 5. rhabdomyolysis. 6. anoxic brain injury secondary to v fibrillation arrest secondary to myocardial infarction five years ago. 7.

vital signs. the exam is remarkable for a midline abdominal wound that is healing well and soft, nontender, and nondistended abdomen. hospital course: the patient was admitted to the transplant surgery service and put on vancomycin. the patient continued his home immunosuppressant and was put on fluconazole, and was taking bactrim as well. the patient had an ercp on , which demonstrated a stone in the common hepatic duct proximal to the biliary anastomosis and biliary stricture compatible with anastomotic stricture following transplant. a common hepatic duct stone was extracted and the anastomotic stricture was dilated to 10 mm. triple stents were placed in the common bile duct and the patient had a previous sphincterotomy from previous ercps. an infectious disease consult was called and it was recommended that the patient start penicillin g and a couple of doses of gentamicin for synergy. the patient was also being followed by for management of his diabetes. a picc was placed for iv antibiotics during the hospital stay and a percutaneous liver biopsy was attempted on by hepatology. this was aborted secondary to complaint of right- sided chest pain radiating to the shoulder. a chest x-ray was ordered and it showed free air and right pleural effusion. a cat scan was obtained at this time and a right chest tube was placed. cardiothoracic surgery was consulted and the patient was taken to the or on for a thoracotomy and evacuation of hemothorax. the patient tolerated this procedure well and was transferred to the floor and hemodynamically stable. the patient's chest tube was discontinued on without any complications. throughout the events, the patient required multiple blood transfusions and tolerated these well. on , given that the patient's lfts continued to elevate, a transjugular liver biopsy was attempted by ir. this biopsy was consistent with hepatitis c and it was decided upon discharge that the patient would start another course of interferon and ribavirin treatment. on , the patient was afebrile with stable vital signs with good p.o. intake and urine output. on exam, the patient's right thoracotomy incision was clean, dry, and intact and the patient's midline incision was healing well with ptc tubes in place. the patient was to start peg-interferon and ribavirin treatment as per hepatology and transplant surgery. the patient finished his

Consider the following medical report that includes the patient's historical health records. Use it to predict the disease that the patient is high likely exposed to. Medical Report: allergies: patient recorded as having no known allergies to drugs attending: chief complaint: carcinoma of the right upper lobe. major surgical or invasive procedure: procedure performed: 1. right thoracotomy with sleeve upper lobectomy. 3. flexible bronchoscopy with clearance of secretions. history of present illness: mr. was a 74-year-old gentleman with biopsy-proven squamous carcinoma of the left upper lobe. he had a negative metastatic survey and underwent mediastinoscopy with no pathologic findings one day prior to this admission. we recommended sleeve upper lobectomy as he had adequate, but not exceptional lung function. he agreed to proceed. past medical history: significant for radiation for squamous carcinoma of the soft palate. this was approximately 10 years ago, treated with radiation therapy at hospital with no evidence of recurrence to date. he also has a history of a lacunar infarct and copd. brief hospital course: patient underwent the sleeve resection on . he was on pressors briefly in the operating room but otherwise tolerated the procedure well. cardiac enzymes were flat post-op and the patient's ekg was without ischemic changes. he received one unit of blood on pod1 for hct of 26 to which he responded well. later that same day the patient developed rapid atrial fibrillation and the senior house officer was called to the floor. patient was hemodynamically stable and converted back to nsr with 5mg iv lopressor. he was also given magnesium and calcium gluconate acutely and labs were sent. abg was 7.27/46/151/22/-5. patient was confused at the time and his urine output remained borderline throughout the night. the patient was not anticoagulated given his recent surgery and presence of epidural. patient remained confused over the next several days, and geriatrics medicine consult was obtained to help manage his delerium and comorbid medical conditions. he had a hard time clearing his secretions and flexible bronchoscopy was needed several times over the following week as well as gentle diuresis. on pod3 the patient was transferred to the sicu for careful managment given his compromised respiratory status and concern for need for possible intubation. he remained stable in the icu and after a repeat bronchoscopy was deemed stable enough for transfer back to the floor the next day. patient had brief episodes of atrial fibrillation both while in the unit and once transfered back to the floor which resolved with titration of the beta blocker. the epidural and both chest tubes were removed on pod4. bedside swallow demonstrated the patient was at significant risk for anpiration and tube feeds were started on with nutrution recommendations. as the patient's mental status started to clear he was seen by physical therapy and geriatrics medicine continued to follow, however he continued to have difficulty clearing secretions and on he was again bronch'd after a chest x-ray demonstrated worsened atelectasis. intermittent diuresis combined with bronchoscopy as described resulted in significant improvement in his pulmonary status. over the next several days his mental status cleared significantly and he was increasingly mobile, ambulating with assistance from pt. rehabilitation screening had just begun when patient's status took an unexpected downturn on the evening of , unfortunately ending in death within an hour of the initiation of events. the intern was called to bedside shortly before midnight when the patient abruptly became severely bradycardic upon returning to bed after a bowel movement. the nurse called a code immediately and upon arrival to bedside the patient was in pea. the senior medical resident ran the code, and the senior surgery resident arrived within 5 minutes after being called into the hospital from home. patient received atropine, epinephrine and bicarbonate x4 with no response. acls protocol continued to be followed as the patient's rhythm deteriorated to ventricular fibrillation. after greater than thirty minutes of attempted resuscitation the patient was pronounced at approximately 1am. the senior surgery resident discussed the case with dr. , who notified the family immediately. autopsy was declined. discharge disposition: expired discharge diagnosis: cardiac arrest discharge condition: deceased procedure: enteral infusion

dr. . she was transferred to the cardiothoracic intensive care unit in stable condition. on postoperative day one, she was extubated. her levophed was turned off. she remained on an epinephrine drip at 0.01 mcg/kg per minute and on an insulin drip at 5 units an hour. postoperative labs were as follows: white count 16.4, hematocrit 31.0, platelet count 104,000, potassium 4.6, bun 16, creatinine 0.6 with a blood sugar of 136. she was in sinus rhythm at 91 with a blood pressure of 115/64 and appeared to be hemodynamically stable at that time. the patient was also started on natrecor. on postoperative day two, the patient was on natrecor at 0.01, neo-synephrine at 0.35 and epinephrine at 0.01. lasix was being given at 20 mg b.i.d. she was also started on aldactone orally. white count rose slightly to 19.9. hematocrit dropped slightly to 26.6. creatinine remained stable at 0.5. she continued to require a fair amount of support. her epinephrine was weaned down during the day. the patient was started on beta blockade. chest tube was removed. the patient did have some nausea and vomiting, which caused her heart rate to decrease to the 60s and had some pacs. the levophed was weaned to off, and the epinephrine was decreased and remained at 0.01 mg/kg/minute. the patient was seen by cardiology, dr. . on postoperative day three, the patient was given some dionex the night earlier and was weaned off of her drip. her swan and chest tubes were out. she was transfused one unit of blood which brought her hematocrit up to 30.4. she did have an episode where her blood pressure had dropped, and neo- synephrine was restarted. natrecor remained on. creatinine remained stable. white count rose to 23.1 from 19.9 on postoperative day three. on postoperative day four, she was offered neo-synephrine drip and was taking her aspirin, lasix and spironolactone to continue with diuresis. pulmonary toilet was encouraged. foley was discontinued. arterial and central venous lines were also discontinued. carvedilol was started per cardiology recommendations, and the patient was transferred out to the floor. the patient restarted her digoxin load at 0.25 mg and then to be decreased to 0.125 mg p.o. daily, her original preoperative dose, with a plan to start her carvedilol again if her rhythm would tolerate it. the patient continue to be alert and oriented. physical therapy consultation was requested for the patient as soon as she was able to get out of the unit, and she was transferred out to floor two on , postoperative day five. it was difficult to motivate the patient, but this continued to be worked on by the staff to encourage her to start ambulating and be involved in her care. she was encouraged to continue with good pulmonary toilet. her digoxin level was low on the 9th, and she was given an additional 0.125 on the 9th to help boost her digoxin level. she had some incisional pain, but was medicated with tylenol and was receiving relief from the tylenol. on postoperative day six, she continued all of her oral medications including the carvedilol, digoxin, lasix and aspirin. she was much improved. her carvedilol was increased to 6.25 mg p.o. b.i.d., and discharge planning was begun. th had a full evaluation by physical therapy. she continued to slowly improve over the ensuing days. her blood pressure was up slightly, and the attempt was made to add captopril as part of her discharge planning to evaluate where her blood pressure was to go with that. cardiology recommended trying it at 3.125 mg p.o. once to see whether or not her pressure would tolerate it as this was part of the heart recommendation. she also did receive some percocet and continued to advance her diet and her activity level and was deemed safe to go home on with instructions to follow up with dr. , her cardiologist, and dr. , her primary care physician, weeks post discharge as well as following up with dr. in the office for her postoperative surgical visit in four weeks. she was also given a wound check appointment for at noon to come in and see the nurses for evaluation of her wounds. she was sating 97 percent on the day of discharge with a blood pressure of 89/50. captopril was held. the patient was asymptomatic. she had slight bilateral lower extremity edema and did receive a load of percocet dose for mild incisional pain. fasting sugars were assessed every morning and at bedtime. the patient was discharged to home on with the following discharge diagnoses: 1. status post mitral valve repair. 2. insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus. 3. congestive heart failure. 4. mitral regurgitation. 5. stage iii breast cancer status post radiation therapy and chemotherapy with adriamycin. 6. depression. discharge medications: 1. colace 100 mg

present illness: ms is a 73 year old woman with a history of hypertension, hyperlipidemia, cad s/p bare metal stent , presenting with symptoms of acute heart failure. . ms the morning of admission () at 3 am with profound shortness of breath, a sensation of fluid in her lungs, a desire to cough but an inability to do so, and the feeling that "i thought i was a goner." she pressed a panic button in her home which set off an alarm that alerted police; she was ultimately brought by ambulance to an outside hospital where she was evaluated further; and then was brought by helicopter to for concern for stemi. . in the osh she had lab values notable for a bnp of 449. ck of 333, ck-mb 4.3; troponin-i was <0.04; 2nd set ck 331, ck-mb 9.7, troponin i 2.01. she received lasix 20 mg iv, lopressor 5 mg iv x1, nitro drip 13 mcg, mg replacement 1 gm iv, lovenox 40 mg, aggrastat 4 mcg, ativan 1 mg x1; as well as many of her home meds: protonix, indur, and fosamax were held, but asa, lisinopril, allopurinol, plaquenil, plavix, atenolol. . the day prior to this episode, she woke up and "could hear myself wheezing" but had no trouble breathing and proceeded on with the rest of her day including working at a senior center. . two or three weeks ago, her primary care physician became concerned about ms renal function and high potassium. the pcp recommended that ms go off lasix; avoid bananas, oranges and other k-containing food; and drink lots of water. accordingly ms bought bottled water and drank 16 oz bottles of water each day (roughly 1.4-1.9 liters/day). her pcp planned renal ultrasound for ms but ms was concerned about the cost she would incur for this so this was deferred in favor of future bloodwork, scheduled for next week. the k was originally detected in follow-up for a question of bacterial or fungal cellulitis on her foot. at her pcp's recommendation, she has since been using a "steroid-type" cream, she says, which has solved the problem. on review of systems, she denies any prior history of stroke, tia, deep venous thrombosis, pulmonary embolism, bleeding at the time of surgery, cough, hemoptysis, black stools or red stools. she denies recent fevers, chills or rigors. she denies exertional buttock or calf pain. all of the other review of systems were negative. . cardiac review of systems is notable for absence of chest pain, dyspnea on

failure, her lasix was adjusted to not overwork her kidneys. bactrim was started for a urinary tract infection. on , ms. a cardiac catheterization which revealed a 60% stenosed left main coronary artery, a patent stent in the lad and an occluded rca. an echocardiogram was obtained which revealed an ejection fraction of 45% and + mitral regurgitation. given the severity of her disease, the cardiac surgical service was consulted for surgical management. ms. was worked-up in the usual preoperative manner. as she lacked bilateral greater saphenous veins, vein mapping was performed. this showed absent greater saphenous veins and patent bilateral lesser saphenous veins. as she had a large right groin hematoma, an ultrasound was obtained. this revealed a pseudoaneurysm measuring 4 x 4 x

vascular surgery service was consulted and recommended concomitant repair during her cardiac surgery. as she lacked conduit for bypass, a radial artery ultrasound was obtained which showed an incomplete right arch and her left extremity to be ulnar artery dominant. given her lack of conduit, it was decided that an off pump internal mammary artery to left anterior descending artery bypass be performed. on , ms. was taken to the operating room where she off pump coronary artery bypass grafting to one vessel and repair of her right femoral artery pseudoaneurysm. please see operative note for details. postoperatively she was taken to the cardiac surgical intensive care unit. by postoperative day one, ms. had neurologically intact and was extubated. beta blockade, a statin, plavix and aspirin were resumed. on postoperative day two, she was transferred to the step down unit for further recovery. gentle diuresis was initiated. she was taken to the cath lab on for elective stenting of her left main coronary artery which was successfully performed. following the procedure, ms. developed vf arrest and asystolic episodes. she was successfully resuscitated and re intubated. she was transferred back to the cardiac surgical intensive care unit for monitoring. the electrophysiology service was consulted for evaluation and followed her closely. on , she was extubated without complication. she had another episode of ventricular tachycardia which self resolved. a lidocaine drip was started. she gain had ventricular tachycardia which required defibrillation. amiodarone was

Consider the following medical report that includes the patient's historical health records. Use it to predict the disease that the patient is high likely exposed to. Medical Report: allergies: erythromycin base / protamine / minoxidil attending: chief complaint: called ambulance for weakness, diarrhea; brought to for bradycardia major surgical or invasive procedure: right internal jugular venous catheter placement history of present illness: this is a 52 year old man with multiple medical problems, including type i diabetes, s/p renal transplant, cad, and pvd, who called today. he tells me that he was feeling very weak and had two bowel movements today, loose, and the typical dark color which he associates with his iron supplementation. per the note he was having diarrhea and fecal incontinence. he denies this to me. he was urged to come in for evaluation and called for an ambulance. when the ambulance arrived, ems found him to be bradycardic in the 30s, and unresponsive, and ems transcutaneously paced him in the field to the 60s. when he arrived in the emergency department they got a heart rate in the 60s, rr of 12, and were evidently unable to obtain a blood pressure. he had o2 sats of 93-95% in the first 15 minutes of being in the ed. . in the ed his ekg revealed diffuse st depression, especially in v4-6; cardiology was consulted and ultimately did not feel that the ekg was significantly different than prior ekgs and was unlikely to represent an ischemic event. he was found to be hyperkalemic and received insulin, glucose, and calcium. with concern for infection he received vancomycin; piperacillin-tazobactam (zosyn) was also ordered in the ed but it is not clear whether this was actually given by the notes in the ed flow sheet. a central line was placed in the rij. an abdominal ct scan (based on elevated lfts but normal alk phos by labs as well as complaint of abdominal pain and diarrhea), and a head ct scan were performed; the abdominal ct showed no clear acute abdominal process, though could not use contrast for renal reasons; it did show some stranding around the distal colon and some gallbladder wall edema. the head ct was also negative by initial read although a formal read was not available. a chest x-ray showed atelectasis vs consolidation, while the bottom portion of the abdominal ct also showed effusion and atelectasis as well as an area of possible infectious consolidation. . he had a brief period of hypotension in the ed for which he was put on dopamine; this was turned off before transit to the micu. in terms of review of systems he denies chest pain, palpitations, dyspnea, syncope or pre-syncope; he affirms back pain which he says has worsened since his power wheelchair broke and he can no longer sit properly in it. he denies fevers or sweats; he says he felt cold today; he denies shaking chills. past medical history: dm i with diabetic retinopathy, nephropathy, neuropathy

pcr 80 genomes/lymphocyte bk <500 copies cmv vl undetectable . imaging: ekg (): low amplitude p waves. supraventricular bradycardia. left atrial abnormality. mild p-r interval prolongation. intraventricular conduction delay. left bundle-branch block with marked left axis deviation. st-t wave abnormalities. since the previous tracing of the rate is slower and more irregular. the possibility of blocked atrial premature beats must be considered but p waves are not obvious. the qrs complex is wider. st-t wave abnormalities, especially anterior st segment elevation, is not seen. clinical correlation is suggested. . cxr (): 1. worsening left lower lobe opacity, worrisome for pneumonia. 2. patchy opacity within the right lower lobe which could represent atelectasis or second focus of infection. 3. small left pleural effusion, which may be slightly increased from prior. . ct head (): 1. hypoattenuating region in the posterior left frontal lobe with focal sulcal and fissural prominence, new since the study, favoring encephalomalacia from an interval infarction, with peripheral mineralization. in this setting, consider mr , if there is persistent concern regarding superimposed more acute ischemia. 2. no acute intracranial hemorrhage. 3. extensive, chronic-appearing sinonasal inflammatory disease, not present on the study, s/p sinus surgery, as before. . ct

including third spacing. acute cholecystitis not entirely exclude, us and hida scan however, given symptomatology, further evaluation with hida scan could help differentiate. 4. mild stranding adjacent to the descending colon, which contains scattered diverticula. mild colitis or diverticulitis might be present. 5. non-specific perirectal mild stranding, can be seen in the setting of proctitis or be related to third spacing. 6. dense atherosclerotic calcifications of the abdominal aorta and vessels. . renal transplant u/s (): diminished systolic upstroke and diastolic flow within the transplant kidney,findings that are concerning for rejection, atn or more proximal renal arterial stenosis. clinical correlation is recommended. . tte (): the left atrium is moderately dilated. there is mild symmetric left ventricular hypertrophy. the left ventricular cavity is moderately dilated. there is severe global left ventricular hypokinesis with anterolateral wall contracting the best. overall left ventricular systolic function is severely depressed (lvef= 20 %). tissue doppler imaging suggests an increased left ventricular filling pressure (pcwp>18mmhg). transmitral doppler and tissue velocity imaging are consistent with grade iii/iv (severe) lv diastolic dysfunction. the right ventricular cavity is mildly dilated with depressed free wall contractility. the aortic valve leaflets are moderately thickened. there is mild aortic valve stenosis (area 1.2-1.9cm2). mild (1+) aortic regurgitation is seen. the mitral valve leaflets are mildly thickened. there is no mitral valve prolapse. moderate (2+) mitral regurgitation is seen. the left ventricular inflow pattern suggests a restrictive filling abnormality, with elevated left atrial pressure. moderate tricuspid regurgitation is seen. there is moderate pulmonary artery systolic hypertension. there is a trivial/physiologic pericardial effusion. compared with the report of the prior study (images unavailable for review) of , the left ventricular systolic function is worse. mitral regurgitation and tricuspid regurgitation are worse. . cxr (): improvement of the left lower lobe opacification that could be atelectasis or area of pneumonia. decreasing amount of left pleural effusion, now small. cardiomediastinal silhouette is stable. there is a suggestion of impression of the right tracheal wall that could represent a thyroid mass. . thyroid u/s (): normal thyroid. brief hospital course: assessment and plan: 52 year old man with multiple medical problems including type i diabetes, esrd on a second transplant, and significant coronary artery and peripheral vascular disease, who presented with weakness and found to have bradycardia and hyperkalemia. . the patient presented with unstable bradycardia in the setting of acute renal failure and hyperkalemia. he received successful treatment for hyperkalemia in the ed and was admitted to the icu in nsr. he remained in normal sinus rhythm with improved heart rate with holding of his beta-. he was evaluated by the cardiology consult service who felt this most likely represented a bradyarrhythmia associated with electrolyte disturbances. at the time of discharge, the patient had some relative hypokalemia with significant repletion demands. the patient was re-started on beta- therapy after improvement in cardiac status for several days. of note, the patient did develop elevated cardiac enzymes (to peak trop t 0.38, negative ck-mb) with non-diagnostic ekg changes. this was felt unlikely to represent true ischemia and instead to represent possible demand in the setting of an infection and poor clearance with acute on chronic renal failure. tte did reveal worsening systolic function with ef 20% and severe diastolic dysfunction. he continues on a cardiac regimen of aspirin, statin, beta-, -acting nitrate, hydralazine and diuretics. he will follow-up with his outpatient cardiologist for ongoing management of severe chronic systolic and diastolic chf. there was high concern for an infectious precipitant to the patient's decompensation. he did present with a leukocytosis. he was also noted to have mild transaminitis and alk phos elevation of unclear significance and trending towards normal on serial measurements. ct abdomen/pelvis revealed some mild gallbladder edema and possible colitis as well as a possible aspiration pneumonia, confirmed on cxr. he was started on vancomycin, levofloxacin and flagyl. blood cultures as well as urine legionella antigen were negative. ebv, cmv and bk viral loads were sent for work-up of immunosuppressive-associated atypical infections though all of these were low or undetectable. urine cultures grew >100,000 yeast forms. the patient was discharged on a course of levofloxacin, metronidazole for presumed aspiration pneumonia +/- colitis or other gi infection and fluconazole for yeast uti. the patient presented with acute on chronic renal failure with cr >4 up from baseline . renal transplant ultrasound revealed changes concerning for rejection. there may also be a component of pre-renal etiology in the setting of acute infection and poor cardiac function. infectious work-up as above revealed a yeast uti. rapamycin levels were supratherapeutic and this was transiently held. he is discharged on rapamycin every other day dosing for the duration of fluconazole therapy to increase to daily dosing upon completion of this medication. repeat rapamycin levels will be obtained by home nurse 1 week and sent to the patient's nephrologist for review and dosage adjustment. the patient's home diuretics were held. hctz was discontinued and torsemide was continued at a reduced dose at the time of discharge. he was also started on calcitriol. his home allopurinol was reduced to every other day dosing for renal impairment. he was followed by the renal consult service while in the icu and was on the renal service upon micu call-out. his cr stabilized but did not return to baseline at the time of discharge. the patient will follow-up in his outpatient nephrologist's office for ongoing care of this issue. the patient was also found on admission to have supratherapeutic inr. this was likely due to impaired clearance in the setting of multi-organ injury and significant infection. he did receive vitamin k po for reversal and was discharged on coumadin with therapeutic inr. he was discharge with a clear plan to have home nurse inr checks and to continue close monitoring through the . head ct obtained in the ed in the setting of lethargy revealed no acute bleeding but did show some interval change in appearance including hypoattenuation in the posterior left frontal lobe possibly consistent with enceophalomalacia and less likely interval stroke. in the setting of improved mental status mri was not pursued. the patient continued on fixed dose and sliding scale insulin. as evaluation for a non-specific irregularity in the area of the thyroid gland seen on ct, the patient underwent a thyroid ultrasound revealing a normal thyroid gland. medications on admission: asa 81 daily insulin humalog+lantus rapamune 1 mg on

Consider the following medical report that includes the patient's historical health records. Use it to predict the disease that the patient is high likely exposed to. Medical Report: allergies: ondansetron attending: chief complaint: pca stroke major surgical or invasive procedure: none history of present illness: hpi: the pt is a 76-year-old woman r handed woman with end stage pd, sz disorder and dementia who is transferred from osh for further management of her "pca stroke and other medical problems." according to transfer records (incomplete at best), it appears that on she had a ? sz at her nh. she was brought to the hospital ed, where vs were 93/54, o2 sat of 85% on unknown amount of o2. due to "difficulty" maintaing o2 sats, she was intubated in the ed. of note, was also found to have small amount of coffee ground emesis. course was complicated by r pnx after a subclavian line placement. at this point, she was admitted to icu for "? shock". her course was complicated by r pnx, vap, severe hypertension, then hypotension, electrographic evidence of sz, dropping hct and acute stroke on . she was transfered to for further managment and evaluation of the stroke and medical problems. on admission to hospital icu, it appears that patient was noted to have elevated wbc to 24k and cxr w/ ? lll infiltrate. for this she was started on vancomycin/cefepime for / aspiration pna. subsequent et suction tube spcx grew out mrsa. as respiratory status improved, intubation was planned, however patient had persistently "altered mental status." eeg was performed that showed "moderate number of bursts and runs of epileptiform activity in l parietal region and becoming more generalized.." given this, her keppra dose was increased from 250mg to 750mg . she remained w/o improvedment, and on she was given 1g of ativan iv, and loaded w/ 500mg of dilantin. given that no improvement was noted, she underwent a nchct on . this showed a new (compared to hct) l hypodensity in l pca territory w/ l cerebellar hemishpere hypodense focus in the l cerebellum. no mass effect or hemorrhage was noted. given this she was started on asa 81mg and transferred to for further management. of note, she had episodes of hypertension on abd to max of 240s/140s. this was felt to be due to pain from chest tube, treated w/ labetalol, morphine and captopril. there was report (verbal) that patient was felt to be in hf and thus received lasix iv, with signficant diuresis and episode of hypotension to 90s systolic. she was resuscitaed w/ ivf w/ sbps returning to 120s. there was also report of elevated troponin to 0.83, however, no documentation was provided. her ecgs were sinus tachycardia with pacs. on she was also noted to have green,

study date of 11:26 am history: 76-year-old woman with parkinson's, with large stroke. had recent pneumothorax after placement of central venous catheter by report. questionable free air under the right diaphragmatic contour. concern for bowel perforation. comparison: none. technique: helical mdct images were acquired from the bases of the lungs to the pubic symphysis after administration of oral and iv contrast. multiplanar reformatted images were obtained. findings: ct abdomen with contrast: dependent atelectasis is seen at the bases of the lungs and a small right-sided pleural effusion is noted. along the lateral right chest wall, there is subcutaneous emphysema tracking to the axillary region. linear atelectasis is present in the bilateral upper lobes. nodular density at right lung base is likely rounded atelectasis. the lungs are otherwise clear without pneumothorax. the visualized heart is normal. in the abdomen, there is one subcentimeter hypodense lesion in the liver, the right hepatic lobe, incompletely evaluated. the gallbladder is nondistended without ct evidence of stone. the pancreas, spleen, adrenal glands are normal. there are bilateral subcentimeter hypodensities in the renal parenchyma, too small to be evaluated but likely to be cysts, and left parapelvic cysts. there is bilateral prompt excretion of contrast into the collecting system and proximal ureter although patchy heterogeneity of the nephrograms particularly on the left are of uncertain signficance. the stomach, duodenum and loops of small bowel are normal. there is no lymphadenopathy. there is no free air or free fluid in the intra- abdominal cavity. ct pelvis with contrast: there is an indwelling foley catheter within a normally distended bladder. the uterus is normal in size for a postmenopausal female. the colon and loops of small bowel are within normal limits. there is no lymphadenopathy. there is no free air or fluid in the pelvic cavity. bone windows: no acute fracture or dislocation. no suspicious lytic lesions or sclerotic lesions. there is a single level degenerative disease at l3 and 4 with anterior osteophytosis. of note, the ng tube is seen with tip in the stomach. impression: 1. no evidence of pneumoperitoneum or bowel perforation. subcutaneous emphysema in the right lateral chest wall and axillary region. this may relate to a reported recent right pneumothorax seen at an outside hospital. 2. mild heterogeneity of nephrograms of uncertain significance although correlation with renal function is advised. radiology report cta head w&w/o c & recons study date of 12:07 am cta of the head and neck with contrast, history: 76-year-old woman with parkinson's disease with "large posterior circulation stroke, at osh"; assess for bleed, thrombi, or dissection. technique: routine study including contiguous 5-mm axial mdct sections from the skull base to the vertex prior to contrast administration, with helical 1.25-mm axial sections from the level of the aortic arch through the vertex during dynamic intravenous administration of 80 ml optiray-320. sagittal, coronal, and axial 10-mm sections, as well as rotational 3d volume-rendered reconstructions of both the cervical and intracranial vessels, and rotational curved multiplanar reformations of the cervical vessels were reviewed on the workstation. findings: the study is compared with the nect of the head ( hospital) obtained some nine hours earlier. there has been no overall short-interval change in the appearance of the large, virtually complete left posterior cerebral arterial territorial infarction with extensive cytotoxic edema throughout this region and involvement of the lateral portion of the ipsilateral thalamus, likely splenium of corpus callosum and posteromedial temporal lobe. there are scattered curvilinear internal relatively hyperattenuating foci, also not significantly changed, which may represent petechial hemorrhage or, less likely, "islands" of spared brain. there is a vaguely triangular low-attenuation focus within the right hemipons, not clearly present earlier and difficult to confirm on the post-contrast images, which may be artifactual or represent additional relatively acute infarction. there is no evidence of involvement of additional vascular territories. while there is atherosclerotic mural calcification involving the superior aspect of the aortic arch, as well as the left subclavian arteries, there is little atherosclerotic disease involving the common and internal carotid arteries throughout their course, to the level of the carotid termini. these vessels demonstrate normal caliber, with the left ica measuring 6 mm at its proximal portion, just distal to the bifurcation and 5 mm at the skull base, and the right internal carotid artery measuring 7 mm proximally, just distal to the bifurcation and 5 mm, more distally, at the level of the skull base, with, therefore, no flow-limiting stenosis. the vertebral arteries are roughly co-dominant and demonstrate normal caliber, contour, and contrast enhancement throughout their course, with no flow-limiting stenosis or evidence of dissection. there is a normal appearance to the vertebrobasilar confluence, and normal contrast opacification and caliber of the principal vessels of the circle of , without significant mural irregularity or flow-limiting stenosis. specifically, there is a normal appearance to the left posterior cerebral artery from its basilar artery origin throughout its more distal portion, which can be followed to the periphery of the infarcted vascular territory. impression: 1. no significant further interval extension of the large, virtually complete left pca arterial territorial infarction since the hospital study obtained some nine hours earlier. this infarct involves the ipsilateral thalamus, medial temporal lobe and, likely, portions of the splenium of the corpus callosum. 2. internal round and linear relatively hyperattenuating foci, in this context, suspicious for "petechial" hemorrhagic conversion. 3. vaguely triangular low-attenuation focus within the right hemipons, not clearly present earlier and difficult to confirm on the post-contrast images, which may be artifactual or represent additional relatively acute infarction. 4. unremarkable appearance to the circle of without significant mural irregularity or flow-limiting stenosis; specifically, the left pca is normal in caliber and opacification throughout its course through the infarcted territory, and may be recanalized. 5. normal appearance to the common and internal carotid and vertebral arteries, bilaterally, with no significant mural irregularity or flow-limiting stenosis. brief hospital course: ms. is a 76 year-old woman w/ hx of advanced pd, dementia, and sz disorder, with worsening sz frequency, recently admitted to hospital s/p seizure and intubation for "hypoxic respiratory failure", vap, hypertensive emergency, hypotension, who now presents with a new stroke in posterior circulation distribution, most likely embolic in nature. the patient was initially admitted to the neuro icu for her large posterior circulation infarct. blood pressures were allowed to autoregulate, and she was evaluated for remediable stroke risk factors. given her known seizure disorder, she was continued on keppra and zonegran. she had an elevated white count, which was attributed to pneumonia, for which she was continued on vancomycin, with repeat cultures. after extensive discussion with the family, based on her multiple severe medical problems, and deteriorating condition, the decision was made to make the patient cmo. she was placed initially on a morphine drip, later transitioned to dilaudid, with ativan as needed. she remained comfortable, with her family present. she passed away early in the morning on . medications on admission: - asa 81mg daily - lipitor 80mg daily - zonegran 100 mg -

Medical Report: history of present illness: the patient is a 77-year-old with end-stage renal disease (status post cadaveric renal transplant in ) who comes back with delayed graft function and multiple episodes of rejection on a regimen of solu-medrol. she was started on zyvox on for vancomycin-resistant enterococcus. the patient is here for an increasing creatinine and possible renal biopsy. no complaint of fever or chills. some nausea and vomiting on zyvox. her last coumadin dose was in . medications on admission: 1. prograf 1.5 mg twice per day. 2. prednisone 5 mg once per day. 3. bactrim single strength one tablet once per day. 4. albuterol nebulizers. 5. protonix 40 mg once per day. 6. colace 100 mg twice per day. 7. levoxyl 175 mcg once per day. 8. lopressor 100 mg twice per day. 9. lasix 40 mg once per day. 10. coumadin 2 mg once per day. 11. lisinopril 7.5 mg once per day. 12. zyvox 600 mg twice per day. 13. os-cal. 14. percocet as needed (for pain). physical examination on admission: vital signs revealed temperature was 97.2, her heart rate was 60, her blood pressure was 120/60, respiratory rate was 20, and 98 percent on room air. the patient was alert and oriented times three. the lungs were clear to auscultation bilaterally. the heart revealed a regular rate and rhythm. there were no murmurs, rubs, or gallops. normal first and second heart sounds. the abdomen was nondistended with normal active bowel sounds. the abdomen was soft and nontender throughout. no tenderness over graft site. the area of the transplant showed a nicely healing scar. hospital course: at this time, it was determined the patient would be admitted and a renal biopsy would be considered to rule our rejection. the patient was called to the floor. the patient was having chest pain and decreased oxygen saturations at 3:15 a.m. the patient was placed a nonrebreather mask, and her saturations increased. her blood pressure at this time was 185/85, and her examination revealed slight bilateral lower crackles. an electrocardiogram showed her to be in a normal sinus rhythm at 65 beats per minute and showed lateral peaked t waves with no st changes or t wave changes. her fluid was then decreased to a rate of 40 cc per hour. she was given lasix 40 mg for one dose, and enzymes were sent, and the patient was placed on telemetry. her chest x-ray at this time revealed likely excess fluid in the lower lung fields. at this time, the patient was transferred to the medical intensive care unit. on the morning of - on hospital day two - the patient was intubated, requiring ventilation. the patient was then placed on lasix twice per day at a dose of 80 mg, and dialysis was considered for this patient. infectious disease was also consulted at this point, as the patient had been started on linezolid for vancomycin- resistant enterococcus in her urine as an outpatient. the patient had episodes of nausea during this time with occasional shakes and dysuria, but no fevers. a culture was then sent off to evaluate her urine and was followed. at this time, infectious disease agreed to continue treatment with the linezolid while watching her fk506 levels closely. the patient continued to be followed by the staff of the surgical intensive care unit at this time. on the patient began to have abdominal and diarrhea, and clostridium difficile cultures were sent. on , the patient also received a bronchoscopy that revealed mild collapse of the posterior wall of the right main bronchus with respiratory effort. the patient was also followed by the rental transplant team during this stay who anticipated the patient would require hemodialysis given her decreased glomerulo filtration rate and would to decide when to initiate hemodialysis. the patient continued to stay in the surgical intensive care unit at this time and was continued on antibiotics. on hospital day five - - the patient was extubated. the patient was placed on a pulmonary toilet at this time, and the plan was to advance her diet as tolerated. the patient continued to be followed by infectious disease at this time who again suggested continuing linezolid while awaiting results of the urine culture. the patient was also evaluated by physical therapy at this time (on ) who suggested the likely need for rehabilitation. on hospital day six - - the patient continued in the surgical intensive care unit, and per infectious disease suggestion, the patient was changed from levaquin to meropenem as her urine culture grew out klebsiella. the sputum culture also grew out klebsiella at this time that was meropenem sensitive. also on , sedation was discontinued. hydralazine was discontinued. the patient was out of bed receiving chest physical therapy and was continually followed the renal transplant team. the patient was transferred to the floor at this time; ten. the patient again began to experience chest pain that radiated at this time to her left upper extremity. the pain increased on inspiration and was shown nonexertional and nonreproducible. the patient received 60 intravenously of lasix at this time and was again placed on a nonrebreather mask for a low po2. all of her enzymes, at this point, so far, had come back negative; both troponin, creatine kinase, and mb fractions. she was due to again receive a full workup of cardiac enzymes for this episode of chest pain, and a biopsy was still considered. the patient was continued on lopressor. aspirin was given. cardiology was consulted, and there was a hold placed on the renal biopsy at this time. cardiology suggested the etiology of the chest pain and desaturation was likely secondary to overload in the context of left ventricular diastolic and systolic dysfunction with mild aortic insufficiency and mitral regurgitation. the first set of troponin levels came back at 0.13 and then went up 0.30, and cardiology began to suggest the likely need for catheterization of this patient. at this time, the patient's platelet count was beginning to decrease; dropping from a baseline of 80 to 50,000 at this point. heparin-induced thrombocytopenia antibodies were sent off, which later came back negative. the patient was not amenable to cardiac catheterization, per cardiology suggestion, and the patient to have dialysis. hematology was also consulted at this time due to the drop in her platelet count. on hospital day nine, the patient continued to have episodic chest pain which was relieved by low-dose morphine with no associated symptoms at this time. her echocardiogram showed an ejection fraction of 50 percent, with 2 plus tricuspid regurgitation, and mild left ventricular hypertrophy, and revealed a new apical wall motion defect since . it was suggested that the patient receive a 2-unit transfusion of packed red blood cells to keep her hematocrit above goal of 28, and the plan was to transfuse this blood and follow with hemodialysis. on hospital day ten - - the patient continued to progress and the formal plan was discussed with the patient and her family. at this time, the patient continually her desire to not pursue aggressive care for her likely heart condition. the plan at this time was to decrease the immunosuppression and proceed with anticoagulation. at this time, the patient was repeatedly refusing rehabilitation. at this point, infectious disease signed off and stated that the patient would have an appointment on in their clinic. the patient was also followed by physical therapy at this time who suggested endurance training and ambulation three times per day. the patient continued to progress well and was without chest pain on . on , the patient continued to progress and was doing significantly better with ambulation with physical therapy and was pain free at this time. the patient received hemodialysis on . the plan was for her to continue this as an outpatient. on hospital day thirteen - on - the patient continued to do well. she complained of occasional shortness of breath while lying flat. she was without chest pain. she was again refusing aggressive pursuits of further cardiac workup. on the day of discharge - on - the patient was stable and was eager to be discharged to home. however, upon learning that she would need meropenem intravenously continued for seven more days, she became more amenable to rehabilitation, and a bed was found for her. on the day of discharge, the patient was stable. all vital signs were stable and the patient was without chest pain or shortness of breath. discharge disposition: the patient was discharged to an extended care facility where she was to continue coumadin 2 mg, to continue on meropenem 500 mg intravenously once per day through . discharge instructions: the patient was to start on a hemodialysis regimen as an outpatient with her first session to be scheduled for . the patient was resume the rest of her home medications as they had been prescribed previously. the patient was instructed to have laboratory draw once per week for complete blood count and prothrombin time, partial thromboplastin time, and inr. the patient was instructed to continue coumadin once every night 2 mg and to continue on meropenem intravenously. discharge diagnoses: status post cadaveric renal transplant in ;

he had a difficult airway and was intubated with help of fiberoptics. 1)hypercarbic respiratory failure: several possible etiologies were considered including heart failure, possible acs or pe (patient was apparently immobile and home for several months prior to presentation), obesity hypoventilation and osa. it was thought that his respiratory failure was most likely a combination of several of these including osa, obesity hypoventilation and heart failure. patient was intubated for hypercarbic respiratory failure on and abg were consistent with both hypercarbia and hypoxia. he was put on albuterol and ipratropium nebs. in terms of pe, the patient's weight excluded him from undergoing a cta. as a result, he was intubated and empirically started on a heparin drip to treat presumptively for pe. acs was unlikely since his troponins were <0.01. giving difficulties weaning him off the ventilator due to high peep requirements (28)and difficulties with the initial intubation, the possibility of tracheostomy was entertained. his respiratory course was complicated by high peep requirements to 28/30. an esophageal balloon had been placed to measure his transpulmonary pressures which showed that his high peep requirements were appropriate for his body habitus. on , he was noted to have almost white out of of his right lung. subsequent chest x-rays showed mild improvement, but continued to have this opacity. interventional pulmonology was consulted for thoracentesis and possible chest tube placement for concern of hemothorax. the pleural fluid was consistent with hemothorax, but chest tube was unable to be placed by ip, and thus had to be placed by thoracic surgery. in hopes to eventually place a tracheostomy tube, the patient's peeps were attempted to be weaned. he initially tolerating weaning to a peep of 16, however he acutely decompensated afterward with hypotension and worsening oxygenation, and was turned back up to a peep of 25. this was not an acceptable level for safe tracheostomy placement. mr. soon after passed away. 2)sedation: after the patient was intubated, there were difficulties with sedation given his body habitus. he was initially placed on fentanyl and versed but there was concern that these medications were being stored in his fat stores given their pharmacokinetics. the decision was made to transition him to methadone; the regimen was safely created with the help of the pharmacist. for a brief period of time the patient did well on this regimen. as the patient's peep started to increase again and the poor prognosis, the decision was made to transition him back to fentanyl and versed. 3)bleeding complications: after heparin was started empirically for pe, the patient had several bleeding complications including a right hemothorax, left forearm compartment syndrome, and subcutaneous bleeding. heparin was immediately stopped and each of these issues were treated appropriately (as described below). hematology was consulted and they agreed with this decision. a work up to find a possible bleeding diathesis was performed, but did not reveal any underlying abnormalities. 4)right heart failure: echo on was suboptimal patient's body habitus, but showed a depressed lvef (45-50%), and a dilated rv with severe global free wall hypokinesis. this evidence of r heart failure was thought to most likely explained by osa/obesity hypoventilation leading to hypoxic pulmonary vasoconstriction and increased r heart strain; pe was also considered a possibility as per above. diuresis was attempted several times and was thought to help improve his respiratory status, but was complicated by persistent hypotension. 5)infectious disease: around the time of , the patient was spiking persistent fevers. his wbc slowly began to rise. cultures drawn at that time showed msse on and . at that time, it was felt that his central line and arterial line should be removed and replaced. on , a right ij was placed and the left subclavian line was removed. the a-line was also removed, and replaced on . the a-line catheter tip grew msse as well. he completed a course of vancomycin for this. despite broad antimicrobial coverage, the patient continued to spike high grade fevers. he was covered appropriately with vancomycin, meropenem, and cipro for ventilator-associated pneumonia and myonecrosis, which were our most likely sources based on sputum and wound cultures. blood and urine cultures remained negative. he eventually became hypotensive with these fevers, and the team was concerned for sepsis. the patient was started on levophed and vasopressin to maintain maps >65. patient passed away on . 6)right forearm compartment syndrome: on , the patient was noted to have ecchymosis and blistering at the site of his skin graft on the volar surface of his right forearm. plastic surgery was immediately consulted for evaluation, and the patient was found to have a compartment syndrome. he was taken to the or for repeated fasciotomy and wash-outs. wound cultures grew proteus. a wound vac was placed, and the patient completed a course of antibiotics. 7)right hemothorax: as above, on , the patient's chest xray showed significant white out. thoracentesis fluid was consistent with hemothorax. thoracics was consulted for chest tube placement. it was also noted that the patient had continued frank bloody secretions from his et tube. his heparin was stopped once the compartment syndrome was noted. bronchoscopy was performed on to evaluate for site of bleeding, and it was thought to be from the rul. unfortunately, the chest tube stopped effectively draining the effusion. tpa was unsuccessful at breaking up the blood clots that had likely formed. thoracic surgery was consulted about the possibility of a decortication, however, unfortunately this was not deemed a safe procedure for the patient given his body habitus and high peep requirements. 8)acute renal failure: this was likely secondary to acute tubular necrosis from his persistent hypotension. once his electrolyte derangements became severe, a renal consult was obtained for possible dialysis. a family meeting was held about the likely futile nature of this high risk intervention, as the patient's prognosis had worsened at this point. the decision was made to not proceed with dialysis. medications on admission: none discharge medications: patient deceased discharge disposition: expired discharge diagnosis: patient deceased discharge condition: patient deceased discharge instructions: patient deceased followup instructions: patient deceased procedure: insertion of intercostal catheter for drainage venous catheterization, not elsewhere classified continuous invasive mechanical ventilation for 96 consecutive hours or more insertion of endotracheal tube enteral infusion of concentrated nutritional substances injection or infusion of thrombolytic agent thoracentesis other bronchoscopy arterial catheterization fasciotomy release of carpal tunnel other myectomy of hand other myectomy of hand other myectomy of hand other myectomy of hand diagnoses: pneumonia, organism unspecified obstructive sleep apnea (adult)(pediatric) unspecified pleural effusion congestive heart failure, unspecified acute posthemorrhagic anemia acute kidney failure, unspecified unspecified septicemia severe sepsis hemorrhage complicating a procedure acute respiratory failure morbid obesity anticoagulants causing adverse effects in therapeutic use other and unspecified infection due to central venous catheter other and unspecified complications of medical care, not elsewhere classified other pulmonary embolism and infarction hemorrhage, unspecified other early complications of trauma unspecified adverse effect of other drug, medicinal and biological substance carpal tunnel syndrome Answer: The patient is high likely exposed to

metabolic acidosis, poor urine output with bladder pressures of 32 and an elevated wbc. the general surgery service was consulted and pt was tapped for 1.5 liters of acitic fluid. the hepatobiliary service was also consulted as was id and renal. over the next several days the pt had elevated bun/cr, lft's and wbc all resolved without clear explaination. the patient was slow to wake and had diffuse muscle weakness post-op and therefore was not extubated until pod 4, she was noted to have left sided weakness and difficulty swallowing after extubation, she failed a swallow evaluation and a head ct at that time showed a subacute infarct in the same area as a previous subdural hematoma. the patient stayed in the icu after extubation because her pulmonary status was tenuous requiring vigorous pulmonary toilet. the patient continued to make progress over the next several days but it was felt by the icu team that she would require a stay in rehabilitaion before returning home. on
