he had been living at for the day prior to admission. he is a social drinker and has a 40-pack-year smoking history; although, he quit smoking 20 years ago. physical examination on presentation: initial physical examination revealed temperature was 96.1 degrees fahrenheit, heart rate was 83, blood pressure was 124/42 (following administration of 3 liters of normal saline), respiratory was 24, and his oxygen saturation was 100% on 2 liters nasal cannula. his heart had a regular rate and rhythm. there were normal first and second heart sounds. there was a 2/6 systolic ejection murmur, and there were no rubs or gallops. his lungs were clear to auscultation bilaterally. his abdomen was soft, nontender, and nondistended, and there were hypoactive bowel sounds. he had a palpable bypass graft pulse, dorsalis pedis and posterior tibialis pulses bilaterally; and his surgical incision was clean, dry, and intact. please note that the above examination was done by the vascular surgery team, which was the team that was initially planning to admit the patient to the hospital. pertinent laboratory data on presentation: on initial laboratory evaluation the patient had a white blood cell count of 12.7, hematocrit was 30.2, and platelets were 282,000. his pt was 13.5, ptt was 30.7, and inr was 1.3. his serum chemistries revealed sodium was 136, potassium was 5.4, chloride was 99, bicarbonate was 25, blood urea nitrogen was 53, creatinine was 3.2, and blood glucose was 91. his calcium was 8.2, magnesium was 2.4, and phosphate was 4.8. blood cultures drawn on admission were pending, but ultimately negative. a urine culture taken on admission was initially pending, but ultimately grew out yeast. a sputum culture taken on admission was also initially pending, but ultimately also grew out yeast. radiology/imaging: his admission chest x-ray demonstrated stable prominence of the right main pulmonary artery; no focal areas of consolidation; overall stable appearance of the chest compared with a study. no radiographic evidence of congestive heart failure or pneumonia. his admission electrocardiogram demonstrated a sinus rhythm, nonspecific inferior/lateral t wave changes, low qrs voltages in the limb leads, and t wave changes in v5 and v6 when compared with an electrocardiogram dated . an initial abdominal ct was a limited noncontrast examination that demonstrated diffuse vascular calcifications. no evidence of an abdominal aortic aneurysm or free fluid, incompletely imaged coronary artery calcification, a simple left renal cyst, sigmoid diverticulosis, and an enlarged and partially calcified prostate gland. hospital course by system: 1. cardiovascular: the patient was initially admitted to the vascular intensive care unit with hypotension, decreased urine output, and acute renal failure; most likely secondary to a presumed gram-negative urosepsis (although there were never any positive culture data to confirm this diagnosis). while boarding in the medical intensive care unit on the night of admission, the patient had a sudden cardiorespiratory arrest. he was resuscitated with epinephrine, lidocaine, and direct current cardioversion times four. he was also intubate for airway protection. following these measures, the patient returned to a sinus rhythm with a systolic blood pressure of approximately 100; the total time elapsed from the beginning of the arrest to the return of a pulse was approximately 16 minutes. he subsequently required double pressors to maintain his blood pressure. an echocardiogram performed at the bedside demonstrated a trivial pericardial effusion and a left ventricular ejection fraction of 20% to 25% in the setting of tachycardia and a hyperdynamic right ventricle; suggesting elevated right-sided filling pressures. although the definitive etiology of this arrest remained unknown, the most likely trigger was a non-q-wave myocardial infarction, as his troponin values were elevated to greater than 50 following his arrest. a repeat echocardiogram done on demonstrated mild left atrial dilation, an ejection fraction of 15% to 20%, resting regional wall motion abnormalities including inferior, mid, and apical left ventricular akinesis, depressed right ventricular systolic function, and moderate mitral regurgitation. compared with the prior study of ; the left ventricular function was unchanged. there was moderate mitral regurgitation, and the right ventricular function appeared worse. on , the patient was loaded with amiodarone and was subsequently started on oral amiodarone. the following day, he was started on heparin intravenously given his elevated serum troponin to greater than 50; this medication was continued for 72 hours. given his elevated troponins and non-q-wave myocardial infarction, the patient was a candidate for cardiac catheterization. after discussions between the medical intensive care unit team and the patient's family, however, the decision was made to not pursue further invasive procedures given that the patient had been made do not resuscitate/do not intubate following the resuscitation mentioned above, and his family no longer wished for aggressive resuscitating measures. by , he was off pressors and he was restarted on a beta blocker and ace inhibitor at low doses. on the evening of , the patient complained of substernal chest pain that was relieved by npg sl and morphine. he also had st segment depressions in v2 and v3 that reverted to baseline after the resolution of his pain. therefore, the patient was again started on heparin; although, this was discontinued on when the patient ruled out for a myocardial infarction by cardiac enzymes. he again had substernal chest pain on ; although, he had no electrocardiogram changes, and he again ruled out for a myocardial infarction by cardiac enzymes. by hospital day four, the patient began to develop evidence of congestive heart failure given his aggressive fluid resuscitation, and gentle diuresis with furosemide was begun. by the time of his transfer to the general medicine service on , the patient was still significantly volume overloaded following his aggressive fluid resuscitation in the medical intensive care unit. therefore, he was continued on the program of gentle diuresis given that he was having signs and symptoms of right-sided congestive heart failure. he achieved adequate diuresis by the time of his discharge to rehabilitation, as his oxygen saturation was greater than 95% on 2 liters nasal cannula. 2. infectious disease/sepsis: the patient was started on gentamicin and piperacillin/tazobactam in addition to the levofloxacin, metronidazole, and vancomycin he was already taking for right lower extremity cellulitis prior to admission for empiric coverage of a presumed gram-negative urosepsis, and he was aggressively hydrated with intravenous fluids. on , his levofloxacin and metronidazole was discontinued, and he was started on fluconazole given the growth of yeast on urine culture. he was taken off of gentamicin on hospital day three, and his fluconazole was discontinued on hospital day five (as per the infectious disease service). he was taken off of vancomycin on , and his piperacillin/tazobactam was discontinued on . despite the presumption of a gram-negative urosepsis precipitating this admission, the patient did not have any positive blood or urine cultures aside from the growth of yeast in two urine cultures noted above. he remained afebrile both before and after discontinuation of his antibiotics, and he was found to be clostridium difficile negative on . 3. pulmonary: as noted above, the patient was intubated and he was extubated on . he subsequently developed wheezing and mild hypoxia; most likely secondary to cardiac asthma and fluid overload in the setting of his aggressive fluid resuscitation. he was gently diuresed toward the end of his hospitalization, and by the time of his he was maintaining an oxygen saturation of greater than 95% on 2 liters nasal cannula, intermittent ipratropium nebulizers, and chest physical therapy for clearance of his respiratory secretions. 4. renal: the patient presented with acute renal failure and prerenal azotemia that rapidly resolved following fluid resuscitation. by the time of discharge, his serum creatinine was stable and at his preadmission baseline. 5. nutrition: the patient was found to be profoundly malnourished with a serum albumin of 1.8 on admission. once he was extubated and taking orals, he performed poorly on a modified barium swallowing study and was started on a thin liquid, ground-solid diet with whole medication tablets, small bites and sips, upright posture with meals, and aspiration precautions. he was also given promod shakes with and between meals for nutritional supplementation of his heart-healthy/diabetic diet. 6. vascular: the patient's operative incisions and foot ulcers continued to heal throughout this admission. he was started on an multivitamin, vitamin c, and zinc for improved wound healing. 7. hematology: the patient was transfused one unit of packed red blood cells on to maintain a hematocrit of greater than 30 given his history of severe coronary artery disease. his hematocrit subsequently remained stable. condition at discharge: condition on discharge was stable. discharge status: rehabilitation facility. discharge diagnoses: 1. cardiorespiratory arrest. 2. non-q-wave myocardial infarction. 3. acute renal failure. 4. coronary artery disease with diffuse 3-vessel disease; right-dominant, status post proximal left circumflex stent in with occlusion of distal left circumflex; status post right coronary artery stent on (no percutaneous coronary intervention to 99%, distal left circumflex, 80% small proximal left anterior descending artery, 80% small distal left anterior descending artery). 5. congestive heart failure (with an ejection fraction of 15% to 20%). 6. type 2 diabetes with neuropathy. 7. hypertension. 8. diverticulosis (found on colonoscopy in ). 9. alzheimer's dementia. 10. history of gastrointestinal bleed (while the patient was taking eptifibatide). 11. cardiac risk factors (with a baseline creatinine of 1.4 to 1.6). 12. history of methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus and pseudomonas growth in wound cultures. 13. severe peripheral vascular disease;

although, the tricuspid valve was obscured by her peripherally inserted central catheter line. the subsequent surveillance blood cultures from on were negative, and the patient was to be continued on vancomycin intravenously for a 3-week course. after that time, blood cultures should be repeated for surveillance. the patient remained afebrile during the remainder of her hospital stay. 3. cirrhosis issues: the patient has child a class cirrhosis from a liver biopsy done in . her cirrhosis was thought to be secondary to her highly active antiretroviral therapy. she was to follow up with dr. in for a visit. a right upper quadrant ultrasound was performed as the patient's alanine-aminotransferase was slightly elevated and was within normal limits. 4. human immunodeficiency virus issues: the patient was restarted on her highly active antiretroviral therapy regimen on hospital day four. the patient tolerated these medications without any problems. she was also continued on acyclovir and fluconazole for prophylaxis. the patient was to follow up with dr. in clinic over the next two weeks. 5. diabetes mellitus issues: the patient was placed on original regimen of lantus without a sliding-scale secondary to her steroid taper. her blood sugars remained elevated while in house; ranging from the 200s to the 400s. her lantus was increased to 12 units subcutaneously in the morning, and her sliding-scale was increased as well with improved blood sugars. she was to be discharged on 12 units of lantus in the morning with a strict sliding-scale for the next three days until her prednisone is tapered; at which time her lantus will be decreased to 7 units in the morning, and her sliding-scale will be decreased as well. 6. hypothyroidism issues: the patient was continued on her levoxyl. 7. access issues: a peripherally inserted central catheter line was placed on for intravenous antibiotics. it was found to be in the right atrium on chest x-ray and was pulled back 6 cm with a repeat chest x-ray location in the superior vena cava. she will need the peripherally inserted central catheter line for 14 more days as she finishes her course of intravenous vancomycin. condition at discharge: condition on discharge was good. discharge status: the patient was discharged to home. discharge instructions/followup: the patient was instructed to follow up with dr. for cirrhosis and with dr. for her human immunodeficiency virus. she was to follow up with dr. and dr. next friday for primary care. medications on discharge: 1. prednisone 40 mg once per day times three days;

heart rate 76; weight 160 pounds. abdomen soft and nontender. she has a peritoneal dialysis catheter in the right lower quadrant. she has good femoral pulses bilaterally. mild pedal edema. hospital course: on , the patient went to the operating room for living donor kidney transplant, performed by dr. and assisting by dr. . please see details of this surgery in operating room note. also during her operating room time, the patient also had a right iliac artery thrombosis. it was noted that at the end of the completion of the procedure, that she had an ischemic appearing right foot and absence of a right femoral pulse. in the operation, there was some difficulty with arterial anastomosis, renal artery to the left iliac artery and dr. came to assist dr. . again, please see details of that operation in the operative report. postoperatively, the patient went to the intensive care unit. the patient had an a line, a central line, foley. she was placed on a heparin drip to keep ptt between 45 and 50. the patient's dressing was clean, dry and intact. the patient had 2 drains in place. good femoral pulse and good dorsalis pedis pulse. these pulses were palpable. the patient was making good urine output postoperatively. renal was consulted and made recommendations. postoperatively, the patient had a renal ultrasound demonstrating an unremarkable renal transplant ultrasound with normal size and appearance of the transplanted kidney and normal arterial wave forms and resistive disease, ranging from 0.63 to 0.75 throughout. on postoperative day number one, the patient had another ultrasound secondary to her hematocrit decreasing and they wanted to rule out hematoma. the ultrasound demonstrated that there was no hematoma seen adjacent to the transplanted kidney. the transplanted kidney is minimally changed from yesterday which was on with a small amount of pelvic ectasis. relatively unchanged resistive indices. the patient did get multiple transfusions for her low hematocrit. her heparin was discontinued on . the patient received 1/2 cc per cc of replacement and on , tacrolimus was started. on , the patient had some complaint of right foot numbness. lower extremity ultrasound was obtained to rule out deep venous thrombosis and this showed no evidence of right lower extremity deep venous thrombosis. on , wbc was 2.9, hematocrit of 35.2. also on , pt was 13.5, ptt was 36.7, inr of 1.2. sodium that day was 129 and 4.4, 100 bun, creatinine of 69 and 6.2 with a glucose of 96. vascular surgery continued to see the patient. it was decided that hematocrit was stable, that heparin could be continued. the patient was restarted on heparin. the patient still complained of right foot numbness but it was about the same and not worse. she was continued on all of her immunosuppressive medications, including tacrolimus, valcyte, cellcept, bactrim, solu-medrol. the patient was transitioned from heparin to coumadin. the patient was transferred to the floor, continued to make excellent urine output. the patient had another ultrasound on because there was blood in her drain and with the decreasing hematocrit. ultrasound demonstrated normal arterial and venous color, blood flow and wave form with normal residual indices. 7.6 by 3.5 cm fluid collection, likely simply fluid, anterior to the contrast. focal area of heterogeneity within the lateral aspect of the mid pole, probably which demonstrates normal blood flow and may represent artifact; however, attention to this area on a follow up scan is recommended to document interval change or resolution. on , the patient's right lower extremity was swollen. the patient complained of right hip and thigh pain, pitting edema of right lower extremity greater than left lower extremity so an ultrasound was performed which included the right iliac artery. this demonstrated acute deep venous thrombosis within the right common femoral and superficial femoral veins which had developed since . there is a right groin hematoma which was unchanged. the patient continued to be anticoagulated for dvt. one drain was eventually removed, continued on with drain output of 170, afebrile, vital signs stable. she went home with services on the following medications: valcyte 450 mg q. day, bactrim ss 1 tab q. day, protonix 40 mg q. day, nystatin 5 ml suspension, 5 ml four times a day, colace 100 mg twice a day, movlapine 10 mg q. day, percocet 22 tabs q. day, lopressor 100 mg twice a day, mmf 500 mg q.o.d. coumadin 2 mg q. day. this should be monitored to keep the inr between 2 and 3. reglan 10 mg four times a day before meals and at bedtime. tacrolimus 10 mg p.o. twice a day. potassium sodium phosphate, one packet q. day and compazine 10 mg q. 6 hours prn. the patient has a follow up appointment with dr. , please call for an appointment. the patient needs to change dressings on her wound twice a day located on her groin, place a dry gauze between the wound and her skin. no heavy lifting of greater than 10 pounds for the first 6 weeks after surgery. diagnoses: end stage renal disease, status post renal transplant. arterial thrombosis. deep venous thrombosis. resolving hypertension. , Procedure: Other kidney transplantation Transfusion of packed cells Repair of blood vessel with synthetic patch graft Incision of vessel, abdominal arteries Transplant from live related donor Diagnoses: Hyperpotassemia Anemia, unspecified Personal history of tobacco use Hypertensive chronic kidney disease, unspecified, with chronic kidney disease stage V or end stage renal disease Peripheral vascular complications, not elsewhere classified Disorders of phosphorus metabolism

past medical history: hypertension. admission medications: the patient was on no medications upon admission. allergies: the patient has no known drug allergies. family history: unknown. social history: the patient lives . physical examination on admission: during the five minute examination, the patient became progressively less responsive and then vomited requiring intubation and paralytics during the examination. vital signs: blood pressure 229/137, heart rate 85, respiratory rate 20, temperature 98.8. general: this was a well-developed african-american male. heent: the neck was supple without lymphadenopathy or thyromegaly. cardiovascular: regular rate and rhythm. no murmurs, rubs, or gallops noted. lungs: clear to auscultation bilaterally. abdomen: soft, nontender, nondistended with no hepatomegaly. extremities: no clubbing, cyanosis or edema noted. neurologic: on the mental status examination, the patient was alert but nonverbal. language was aphasic but can comprehend one-step commands. there was no evidence of neglect. the patient can follow one-step commands. on the cranial nerve examination, his optic disk margins were sharp. his extraocular eye movements were intact. his pupils were equal and reactive to light. his face was symmetrical at rest. motor: he had normal bulk and tone with no tremors. his power was 0/5 in the right arm and leg. his left arm and leg was apparently . sensory: he was reactive to noxious stimuli in all four extremities. his reflexes were minimal throughout. his toes were mute bilaterally. coordination and gait examination was not tested. laboratory/radiologic data: white count 7.5, hematocrit 45, platelets 258,000. pt 12.7, ptt 21.7, inr 1.1. the ekg was normal sinus rhythm at 99 with normal axis and intervals. lvh was noted. there were t wave inversions in i, ii, iii, avl, v1 through v3. serum and urine toxicology was negative. esr was 18. the urinalysis was negative. ct scan of the head showed 55 by 55 by 21 mm left putaminal bleed with a 5 mm midline shift to the right. chest x-ray showed cardiomegaly with chf. hospital course: 1. neurologic: left putaminal bleed secondary to presumed hypertension. the patient's blood pressure was initially controlled with a nipride drip to keep the cephalic pressure between 130-160. the nipride drip was then weaned as labetalol iv was added along with a nicardipine drip. the patient was also given dilantin load followed by a maintenance dose of 400 mg q.d. his level has been therapeutic around 20. considerations for a cta and angiogram for possible avm or aneurysm were considered but the patient's renal function and health status did not allow such studies to be done at the current time. repeated noncontrast ct of the head revealed no increase in the bleeding but showed subsequently increases in cerebral edema with some pressure onto the brain stem. the patient's neurological examination did deteriorate to the point that he only had reactive pupils that were equal and intact corneal reflexes. in addition, he had a gag reflex. however, he began to not move any extremities and not respond to any noxious stimuli in the four extremities. by 4:00 p.m. on , his neurological condition deteriorated to the point that his pupils were dilated and nonreactive. he lost gag and corneal reflex. calorics were done at this time which revealed no response. neurosurgery was reconsulted for a question of craniotomy but they felt that the patient would not be a candidate for the surgery in that it would not help him. mannitol was then started along with hyperventilation to keep the pc02 below 30 in an attempt to decrease the cerebral edema. despite clinical examination that the patient is clinically brain dead, the family wishes to continue aggressive treatment. the family requested that the patient be transferred to the . however, dr. at the stroke service said that the patient would not be accepted at the given that there would be no other intervention that would be done differently at . 2. cardiovascular: as mentioned above, the patient was initially started on a nipride drip to control the blood pressure between 130-160. however, he was slowly weaned off the nipride to be switched over to cardene drip. the cardene drip was then weaned to allow for the addition of p.o. labetalol. three serial cks and troponins were checked and found to be negative, thus, ruling the patient out for a myocardial infarction. 3. pulmonary: the patient was initially intubated when first seen down in the emergency room for airway protection since he vomited. he then showed a left lower lobe pneumonia on the chest x-ray. he was started on levofloxacin and flagyl since the day of admission for aspiration pneumonia. vancomycin was added on day number four of hospitalization due to sputum cultures showing staphylococcus aureus coagulase-positive organisms and gram-negative rods. susceptibilities are still pending. the patient did have one or two episodes of desaturation secondary to breathing trials and increased secretion in his nostrils. in an attempt to decongest him, saline nasal spray was started. 4. renal: acute renal failure secondary to dehydration. the patient's creatinine upon admission was 1.4 and continued to rise to 2 as he started third spacing his fluids. urine electrolytes were checked which showed a phena of less than 1 which is evidence of the patient being dehydrated and prerenal. he was subsequently given iv fluids and his creatinine improved to 1.6. a renal ultrasound was done which showed no evidence of hydronephrosis. 5. infectious disease: leukocytosis: given the aspiration pneumonia and elevated white count of 18.6, levofloxacin and flagyl were started on the day of admission. blood cultures were obtained. the first two sets showed one out of four blood cultures that grew staphylococcus coagulase-negative. since this was deemed a contaminent, no further antibiotics were given. however, on day number four of hospitalization, his sputum culture returned showing staphylococcus coagulase-positive organisms so vancomycin was added. more blood cultures were drawn but nothing has grown to date. 6. gastrointestinal: the patient was given and orogastric tube for tube feeds. he had some high residuals so the tube feeds were stopped. reglan was then administered to promote gi motility so that the tube feeds could be restarted. 7. fluids, electrolytes, and nutrition: hyponatremia: the patient's sodium slowly fell from 136 upon admission to 130 on the fourth day of hospitalization. it was felt that this was due to salt wasting from his cerebral problems so he was then fluid restricted. although he has acute renal failure secondary to dehydration and third spacing, it was felt that he needed to be fluid restricted given that the overall hyponatremia was more likely due to salt wasting. , m.d. dictated by: medquist36 Procedure:

mild linear hyperdensity within the basal cisterns of this could be hemorrhage, occasionally the tributaries of the circle of can be somewhat denser appearing, in the setting of increased intracranial pressure, which would mimic the presence of subarachnoid blood. no other new intracranial or extracranial abnormalities are discerned. conclusion: possible small amount of subarachnoid blood or relatively stagnant vascular flow, in the face of increased intracranial pressure, as noted above. we have telephoned (dr. with this report immediately after the conclusion of the study. addendum:

with gadolinium enhancement. comparison studies: none available at this time. wet read report: dr. interpreted this study as revealing "bilateral parenchymal masses, suggesting metastatic disease. the largest mass in the right parietal lobe has a complex appearance, at least 5 cm in greatest dimension with at least 8 cm greatest dimension of surrounding edema and 7 mm leftward midline shift." dr. is a member of the "nighthawk" radiology group. findings: the study indeed reveals a large right parietal, irregularly thick ring enhancing mass, possibly with some tiny "daughter" cystic components extending towards the cortical surface. as mentioned in the wet , there is a substantial area of surrounding edema, with effacement of the right atrium and approximately 7 mm leftward subfalcine herniation. a smaller area of edema is seen within the white matter of the left occipital lobe, but i cannot delineate any specific area of enhancement associated with it. a third, very well circumscribed 18 x 26 mm area of elevated t2 signal is seen contiguous to the left temporal lobe, and it is difficult to determine whether the lesion is intra- or extra-axial in locale. again, there is no associated enhancement and no abnormal susceptibility is noted, either. on the coronal post-contrast images, there is a questionable area of enhancement, approximately 3 mm, immediately subjacent to the left temporal lesion- i am not certain that the two findings are necessarily related. the principal vascular flow patterns are identified. there is no overt extracranial abnormality noted. conclusion: large right parietal lobe mass, which may represent either a primary or metastatic brain neoplasm. the additional abnormalities within the left temporal lobe and left occipital lobe, while they may represent extremely unusual manifestations of metastatic disease, which would then render the right parietal lobe lesion more likely metastatic, could have alternative diagnoses, including hemorrhage or a calcified left temporal meningioma as an explanation for the left temporal lesion, and either an inflammatory or ischemic process to account for the left occipital lesion. i discussed this case this morning with dr. , it was decided that a non-contrast head ct scan would be a helpful followup diagnostic procedure to further characterize the left cerebral hemispheric lesions prior to brain biopsy of the right parietal lesion. dr. approved: 4:07 pm chest (portable ap) 3:50 pm chest (portable ap) reason: please evaluate preop medical condition: 50 year old woman

history of present illness: mr. is a 72-year-old male with a past medical history significant for pancreatic cancer, ulcerative colitis, hypertension, status post endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography, and status post total abdominal colectomy 20 years ago with an end-ileostomy. the patient underwent an endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography recently, but a stent was unable to be placed. a computed tomography was performed which demonstrated a head of the pancreas mass with dilated intrahepatic duct along with vascular involvement of the gastroduodenal artery and superior mesenteric vein. he presented for exploratory laparotomy with possible pancreatic mass resection. past medical history: 1. ulcerative colitis. 2. hypertension. 3. benign prostatic hypertrophy. past surgical history: 1. total abdominal colectomy with end-ileostomy. 2. status post transurethral resection of prostate. medications on admission: 1. moexipril 15 mg by mouth once per

physical examination on presentation: the patient is a thin, cachectic caucasian male who was alert and oriented times three. in no apparent distress. the sclerae were anicteric. the patient was jaundiced. the oropharynx was clear with moist mucous membranes. the neck was supple and without lymphadenopathy. the heart was regular in rate and rhythm. the lungs were clear to auscultation bilaterally. the abdomen was soft, nontender, and nondistended. there was a well-healed midline scar and ileostomy present. the extremities were warm without cyanosis, clubbing, or edema. pertinent laboratory values on presentation: his hematocrit was 43.2. his inr was 1.2. creatinine was 1.6. aspartate aminotransferase was 51, his alanine-aminotransferase was 89, his alkaline phosphatase was 395, and his total bilirubin was 12.5. brief summary of hospital course: on the day of admission, the patient was taken to the operating room where an exploratory laparotomy was performed. the patient had evidence of unresectable pancreatic cancer with biliary obstruction seen intraoperatively. adhesiolysis was therefore performed along with a roux-en-y hepaticojejunostomy, and open cholecystectomy, an open pancreatic biopsy, and a gastrojejunostomy. the estimated blood loss for the procedure was 250 cc. the patient was discharged to the regular hospital floor after being extubated in the postanesthesia care unit in good condition. in the evening on postoperative day one, the patient was taken back to the operating room emergently for likely mesenteric bleeding. this was controlled with suture ligation, and the patient was admitted to the surgical intensive care unit postoperatively for close monitoring. the patient remained intubated in the intensive care unit on pressor support and received total parenteral nutrition until postoperative day seven. at this time, the patient's mental status was extremely labile requiring haldol for agitation. the patient's hematocrit was stable at 35.8 at this time. tube feeds were initiated on postoperative day eight. on postoperative day nine, the patient was transferred to the regular hospital floor. at this time, tube feeds were held for elevated residuals and nausea. he was still receiving total parenteral nutrition at this time. the patient's mental status was still not completely improved. a computed tomography scan was performed on postoperative day ten which did not demonstrate any intra-abdominal pathology. the patient was started on sips on postoperative day eleven and was started on his home medications. at this time, he was seen by the physical therapy service and was being screened for rehabilitation placement. however, on the evening on postoperative day twelve the patient spiked a temperature to 101.5 degrees fahrenheit. a fever workup was done including a chest x-ray and blood cultures. early the next morning, the patient was found unresponsive without a pulse at approximately 2:45 a.m. at this time, a code blue was called and advanced cardiac life support protocol was initiated. however, the patient was asystolic without any respiratory effort at this time. he did receive multiple rounds of epinephrine along with attempts at ventilation. however, the patient never regained electrical activity and was pronounced deceased at 2:57 a.m. the patient's wife was notified at this time. however, a postmortem examination was declined. condition at discharge: the patient expired on . , m.d. dictated by: medquist36 Procedure: Continuous invasive mechanical ventilation for

history of present illness: this is a 39-year-old woman with diabetes, hypertension, hyperlipidemia and obesity, with a one to two months of chest burning with exertion. for the past six months, she has been participating in a new vigorous exercise program to lose weight. her symptoms do gradually resolve with rest, but they have started to occur now with walking. she does acknowledge that there is associated nausea, diaphoresis and shortness of breath. now recently she started to get symptoms for the past two days while at rest. she was referred for an outpatient exercise tolerance test, where she had chest pain and significant ekg changes. she was referred to for cardiac catheterization today, which revealed significant left main artery disease. just prior to her transfer to , she did complain of chest pain and back pain at about 7/10 intensity and a nitroglycerin drip was started and she received 5 mg of iv lopressor and 2 mg of iv ativan, which did resolve her pain. while she was in the cath lab, she had an intraaortic balloon pump placed, and now she is not actively complaining of any pain. review of systems: she denies any orthopnea, lower extremity edema, but she does acknowledge that she does have dysmenorrhea. prior medical history: she has diabetes mellitus, type 2, diagnosed in . she has been able to control it with diet since ; hypertension and obesity; however, she has lost 40 pounds in the last six months. she has an allergy to shellfish. medications on transfers to : atenolol 50 mg a day, lisinopril 10 mg a day, lipitor 20 mg a day, aspirin 325 mg once a day, progesterone, nitroglycerin drip, lopressor, ativan. social history: she does not smoke. she does not use ethanol and she does not use cocaine. her father had a brain tumor. her brother did have coronary artery disease and a myocardial infarction in his late 30s. her mother has hypertension. she does have a strong family history for hyperlipidemia. physical examination: the patient is comfortable appearing, in no apparent distress. vital signs: temperature 99.1, pulse 72, blood pressure 144/87. pulse oximetry is 98% on room air. head and neck: perrla. eomi. anicteric. mucous membranes moist. neck supple, no lymphadenopathy, no jvd. cardiac: regular rate and rhythm. lungs clear to auscultation bilaterally. abdomen is soft, nontender, nondistended, but she is morbidly obese, positive bowel sounds. her extremities are warm, no edema. she has got 5/5 strength in all extremities. her laboratories prior to admission from were white count 7.4, hematocrit of 39.8, platelets 190,000. hemoglobin a1c was 7.1. sodium was 140, potassium 4.1, chloride 103, bicarbonate 28, bun 14, creatinine 0.6. total cholesterol was 307, triglycerides were 79, and hdl was 50. , which was at (it was not at ), showed diffuse left main and proximal left anterior descending artery stenosis, 60% to 70%, which was ulcerative; 50% mid lad stenosis; 50% left circumflex stenosis after om1; moderate right coronary artery stenosis; a normal ejection fraction of 78%; no mitral regurgitation. note that the right coronary artery stenosis that i am reported is different than what was actually reported on the initial catheterization results from . this was discussed between dr. and dr. , and was not actually considered to be 80% as previously reported. so this was a woman who was considered to have unstable angina but not actively ischemic. she was put on an intraaortic balloon pump, followed in the cardiac care unit, and was "preoped" and consented for a cabg on the next day because of her three-vessel disease. she was made n.p.o. after midnight and then in the morning she was taken to the operating room. on of , ms. went to the operating room with dr. for bypass surgery. please refer to the previously dictated operative note by dr. for the specifics of this surgery. in brief, three grafts were made. one was a left internal mammary to the left anterior descending artery and then two saphenous vein grafts were connected to the om1 and om2. she was on cardiopulmonary bypass for 76 minutes and the aorta was cross clamped for 53 of those minutes. she tolerated the surgery well and was transferred to the intensive care unit on propofol and neo-synephrine drips. postoperatively, ms. did extremely well. her intraaortic balloon pump and all of her intravenous drips were discontinued on postoperative day one. on postoperative day two she was extubated and on postoperative day three she was transferred to the floor. ms. major floor issues were as follows. ms. was followed by physical therapy, which cleared her to go home with home physical therapy to assist with mobility, strength and endurance. she was also actively diuresed with lasix and had her potassium repleted accordingly. finally, she was noted to have hyperglycemia while she resumed her regular diet. consultation was obtained and they recommended metformin 500 mg twice a day to maintain euglycemia. she would follow her sugar as an outpatient and report this back in an outpatient followup appointment. on the patient's central line was discontinued. she was scheduled to leave, but she developed chest pain; however, this chest pain was considered not to be cardiac, to be more gastrointestinal in nature, and she had ......... and an ekg, both of which confirmed a noncardiac source for this chest pain. she is, therefore, on , postoperative day six, being discharged home in good condition with home physical therapy scheduled. final diagnoses: 1. type 2 diabetes mellitus. 2. hypertension. 3. obesity. 4. hyperlipidemia. 5. unstable angina. 6. three-vessel coronary artery disease, status post coronary artery bypass grafting, status post intraaortic balloon pump. 7. hypokalemia. discharge medications: 1. metoprolol 100 mg t.i.d. 2. aspirin 325 mg p.o. q.d. 3. captopril 50 mg p.o. t.i.d. 4. lipitor 20 mg p.o. q.d. 5. lasix 20 mg p.o. b.i.d. for one week. 6. potassium chloride 10 meq p.o. b.i.d. for one week. 7. metformin 500 mg p.o. b.i.d.;

monomorphic vt accompanied by fall in bp, loc, terminated x 1 via precordial thumb. electrolytes were repeleted, pt was bolused with amiodarone x 2, and started on an amio gtt. amiodarone was then changed to po, with a dosing schedule of 400 mg for one week, followed by 400 mg daily for one week, then 200 mg per day. monomorphic vt thought to be likely due to a fixed area of scarring from previous mi. placement of an icd was discussed. however, given the pt's poor prognosis for non sudden cardiac death reasons, and given his increased infectious risk, it was decided to treat his arrhythmia medically. of note, the qt interval was prolonged (506), likely secondary to amiodarone. patient remained in sinus rhythm on amiodarone. 2. cad: pt with nstemi. cath on showed 3 vessel disease, subsequently underwent successful stenting of om, d1, lad and iabp placement. iabp was discontinued after the patient was able to maintain his own pressure. echo completed on , which showed apical akinesis, with severely depressed systolic function. patient was initially started on heparin and bridged to coumadin, however, he had another episode of guaiac positive stool, and given his history of melena and coffee ground emesis, the risk for gi bleed was thought to be high and anticoagulation was discontinued. the patient was continued on an aspirin, statin, beta blocker, and was started on an ace, all of which he will continue as an outpatient. his swan and sheath were discontinued without complications. 3.pump: chf: ef 20% by echo he was initially placed on imdur/hydral for afterload reduction and an ace was initially avoided in an attempt to salvage his kidneys. however, he was eventually started on low-dose lisinopril to be titrated up if necessary. patient also

fistula presents with septic shock. . 1. sepsis: the pt was found to be hypotensive and febrile in the ed and admitted through sepsis protocol. he was infused with muliple boluses of normal saline, put on levophed for blood pressure support. he was covered with broad spectrum antibiotic empirically as culture data was sent. blood cultures were found to be positive for gram postive cocci which was ultimately shown to be vre. vancomycin was changed to linezolid. the pt remained hypotensive on pressors for the next several days and a work-up was initiated to determine the source of infection. mri of the foot was pursued to r/o osteomyelitis, and a ct of the abdomen was down to r/o an abdominal source of infection. the ct abdomen and pelvis showed possible abscess in liver and spleen. there was also pancolitis. gi and surgery were for assistance in the management of these problems. for the pancolitis, the pt was kept npo and he was treated for possible c. diff infection while c. diff cultures were sent and found to be positive. a ruq u/s was pursued which showed evidence of hypoechoic lesion could be flegmon or mass. it was unable to be confirmed on imaging whether these lesions on ct which were new compared with a previous scan in were abscesses vs possible mets from an unknown primary. ir was for possible drainage or biopsy, however option declined given localization of lesions and the pts significant bleeding risk. the gi team suggested an mri to further evaluate the liver lesions although this was unable to be pursued because the pt was too unstable requiring pressors for bp support. a tte echo was done to r/o endocarditis or abscess and was negative. head ct was negative for abscess as well. . 2. cmo: on the morning of , the icu team discussed with mr wife and daughter the different alternatives for mr care. it was explained that the feeling of the medical staff and nurse staff was that mr has been extremily uncomfortable with all the procedures that he undergoes during the day. despite giving pain medicines he has shown signs of a lot of discomfort. we explained to the family that we would need a ngt place in order to feed him and give him some of his medicines now that he is having trouble swallowing given his mental status. also we have explained that we still not have a clear dx on his liver lesions, and in order to obtained a dx he might need a surgical intervention for biopsy. it would be a long road ahead before he is able to go back to where he was previously. ms feels that her husband would not want to have all this procedures done along the road and that we should change the focus of care towards making him as comfortable as possible. the antibiotics and pressors were d/c'ed. the plan was to have no more dialysis. there were no more lab draws. a morphine drip was started for pain. the pt remained arousable though sleepy. his blood pressure was in the 80s-90s systolic off pressors and his extremities continued to show evidence of perfusion. on the evening of , he skin became more pale and his sensorium less alert. at 2:08 am he was found to have ceased respirations and was without a heart rate on

transferred to the intensive care unit. in the intensive care unit, the patient was able to open her eyes, and was moving all four extremities and responsive to command. past medical history: 1. hypertension 2. depression with suicide attempt ten years ago by overdose. the patient was hospitalized for two weeks at that point. the patient's outpatient psychiatrist is dr. . allergies: no known drug allergies. medications: zyprexa 2.5 mg by mouth daily at bedtime, zestril 20 mg by mouth once daily, ambien 10 mg by mouth daily at bedtime, estradiol 1 mg by mouth once daily, nortriptyline 25 mg by mouth daily at bedtime, klonopin 0.5 to 1 mg daily at bedtime, biotin and calcium supplementation. social history: the patient lives with her daughter. husband died in . the patient denied any tobacco, alcohol or drug use. family history: unknown. physical examination: the patient's temperature was 97.7, with a blood pressure of 130/65, pulse of 84, respiratory rate of 14, and oxygen saturation of 100%. the patient was ventilated on imv pressure support with a rate of 14, pressure support of 10, peep of 7.5, volume of 500, and 40% fio2. on general examination, the patient was a very ill-appearing female, in no apparent distress. she was intubated. head, eyes, ears, nose and throat examination revealed 1 to 2 mm nonreactive pupils. neck examination revealed no jugular venous distention and no bruits. cardiac examination revealed a regular rate and rhythm, normal s1 and s2, and no murmurs, gallops or rubs. pulmonary examination revealed that the lungs were clear to auscultation bilaterally. abdominal examination revealed a belly that was soft, nontender, nondistended, with normal bowel sounds. extremity examination revealed no edema, with 2+ dorsalis pedis pulses bilaterally. neurological examination revealed a patient that was moving all four extremities, opening eyes intermittently, withdrawing to pain. the patient had 2+ deep tendon reflexes, and downgoing plantar reflexes. laboratory data: the patient had a white blood cell count of 5.1, hematocrit of 35.9, platelets of 259. the patient had a sodium of 140, potassium of 4.4, chloride of 103, bicarbonate of 28, bun of 17, creatinine of 0.6, and glucose of 102. the patient's inr was 1.1. the patient had an alt of 19, an ast of 26. arterial blood gas was performed post-intubation and was found to be ph of 7.47, paco2 of 29, and pao2 of 287. electrocardiogram: normal sinus rhythm at 80, with normal axis, and intervals, and st elevations in v2 and lead i. other studies: urine toxicology was negative, serum toxicology was negative. urinalysis revealed negative nitrates, leukocytes, blood, no red blood cells, no white blood cells, occasional bacteria, and less than one epithelial cell. head ct: no signs of intracranial hemorrhage or mass effect. hospital course: the patient is a 64-year-old female with a history of hypertension and depression with suicidal ideation and previous history of overdose attempt, status post likely overdose on ambien and zyprexa, status post intubation and hemodynamically stable. 1. toxicology: patient with likely ambien overdose and zyprexa overdose. her symptoms of light coma, somnolence and respiratory compromise were consistent with ambien overdose. the patient also had evidence of myosis, which was consistent with zyprexa overdose. the patient had been gastric lavaged, charcoaled and supported in the emergency department. in the intensive care unit, the patient was supported with intravenous fluids and gradually weaned on the ventilator to the point where she was successfully extubated shortly after arriving to the intensive care unit. 2. psychiatric: patient with major depression, recently exacerbated by the loss of her husband, now with a second overdose attempt in her lifetime. likely zyprexa and ambien were the agents responsible. multiple attempts were made in the effort to contact the patient's outpatient psychiatrist, dr. . she was unable to be reached. psychiatry was consulted, who felt that the patient needed inpatient evaluation and treatment. they also recommended psychotropics be avoided, and that the patient have a one-to-one sitter. social work and case management were consulted. 3. cardiovascular: patient was hemodynamically stable with history of hypertension. her antihypertensives were held. her electrocardiogram was unremarkable, although there were no studies for comparison. 4. pulmonary: patient intubated secondary to decreased mental status without a primary lung process. post-extubation arterial blood gas did not suggest any obstructive lung process leading to hypercarbia or hypoxemia from other pulmonary process. the examination was unremarkable. a facile extubation was anticipated, and the patient was extubated within several hours of arriving in the intensive care unit. 5. psychosocial: communication was maintained with the patient's daughters, who also felt that the patient should receive inpatient evaluation and treatment. condition on discharge: stable. discharge status: the patient was discharged to an inpatient psychiatric bed. discharge medications: zestril 20 mg by mouth once daily, estradiol 1 mg by mouth once daily. discharge diagnosis: 1. major depression 2. ambien and zyprexa overdose 3. hypertension , m.d. dictated by: medquist36 Procedure:

htn, hyperlipidemia, now here for resection of parasagittal meningioma. pt first noted symptoms three years ago with dizziness, was evaluated in where a head ct revealed l frontal extraxial mass (~2cm per pt). seen by a neurosurgeon in and told watchful waiting was best. however 6 weeks ago the patient had an episode where his right lower extremity "gave way." occasionally "feels like wood." he underwent mri scan which revealed enlargement of the mass, with descriptions from records documenting 2.5x3.4x2cm l frontal lobe extraaxial mass, and also a much smaller 12mmx8mmx4mm mass in the r temporal lobe (per report). he was started on decadron 1mg . pt was scheduled for resection with dr. . however last night he was moving furniture, and upon moving a bureau back into his home he developed a sensation of numbness at his foot that travelled to his upper thigh over the course of only a few seconds. he then noted rhythmic low amplitude shaking of the limb that was not suppressable. his right arm then extended outwards beyond his volitional control. his wife took him to where he was given ativan iv, loaded with fosphenytoin 1,000mg iv. the movements subsided in about 15 minutes. no loss of consciousness. no speech/language deficits. no visual loss. he reports no further episodes since. currently feeling well. denies any headaches. he does still feel a loss of sensation in a stocking distribution of his right foot to his ankle. when he walks he feels like he does not have command over his right leg. no bowel or bladder dysfunction. past medical history:

limited post-contrast mri of the brain demonstrates an enhancing left parafalcine lesion measuring approximately 2.1 x 3.3 x 3.5 cm. this lesion is in close proximity to the adjacent sagittal sinus although it does not appear to be involving the sinus. no other abnormal enhancing lesions are identified. there is minimal surrounding edema and no significant mass effect. impression: dural-based enhancing lesion arising from the left parafalcine region with minimal mass effect and small amount of surrounding edema. this likely represents a meningioma. mri head (post-op): findings: since the previous study, the patient has undergone resection of left parietal parafalcine extra-axial mass. blood products are seen in the region with edema. air is seen intracranially. bilateral small subdural collections are seen. these findings are indicative of post-operative change.no acute infarct seen. no midline shift or hydrocephalus identified. no residual nodular enhancement is identified. impression: 1. status post resection of left parietal parafalcine mass with expected post-surgical changes of blood products and air in the region and intracranial air and bilateral small

history of present illness: patient is a 72-year-old male with coronary artery disease status post myocardial infarction, chf with an ejection fraction of 15% and icd for df/vt. here for possible icd malfunction after he was shocked three times at home the night before admission to an outside hospital. the first shock occurred on the morning prior to admission with no preceding symptoms. the second shock occurred while walking downstairs, and he reported reaching out his arm. third shock occurred shortly after this when he was reaching out with his left hand, and the final and fourth shock occurred when he was reaching out in bed with his left arm and received multiple shocks in a row. at the outside hospital, the patient had a magnet placed over his icd, and was given magnesium sulfate. he was hemodynamically stable, and had no complaints otherwise. on review of symptoms, the patient reported occasional orthostatic hypotension, but denied chest pain, shortness of breath, nausea, or vomiting. the patient denies fever or chills. denied bloody stools or black stools. the patient denied orthopnea, pnd, or dyspnea. past medical history: 1. coronary artery disease status

years ago. he denies alcohol use. allergies: shellfish and iv dye, which causes hives, and amiodarone which caused edema. physical exam on admission: temperature 97.7, heart rate of 80, blood pressure 86/52, respiratory rate 16. saturating 97% on room air. patient was alert and oriented times three in no acute distress. neck was supple. pupils are equal, round, and reactive to light. clear oropharynx. there was no jvd and no carotid bruits. cardiovascular reveals regular, rate, and rhythm with occasional irregular beats. faint systolic ejection murmur at the left lower sternal border. respiratory: lungs are clear to auscultation bilaterally. the abdomen was soft, nontender, nondistended. extremities revealed trace bilateral lower extremity edema. summary of hospital course: 1. cardiac rhythm: patient is admitted with multiple shocks from his icd. the shocks had occurred when the patient was using his left arm predominantly. this is likely due to the fact that there was a device malfunction. the device was interrogated, and found to be oversensing noise from certain arm movements. the device was turned off and programmed ddd. the inr was 2.5, so the patient was given vitamin k with plan for future need revision. overnight the patient had a four-second pause on telemetry, although the patient was asymptomatic. the patient returned to the electrophysiology laboratory and had a pacing catheter placed. the patient was transferred to the ccu on for further monitoring in the setting of transvenous pacing. the patient remained comfortable and when his inr trended down, he returned to the ep laboratory for device revision and lead revision. patient tolerated the procedure well. after this, the patient returned to the floors and received multiple shocks on the morning, which were appropriate for ventricular tachycardia. the patient's pacemaker was interrogated and found to be functioning well. it was reprogrammed to over pace out of ventricular tachycardia prior to shocking. the patient had additional episodes of ventricular tachycardia, which were successfully paced out of by his pacemaker. patient was started on lidocaine drip given his significant ventricular tachycardia and the episodes of vt diminished significantly. the patient was transitioned to mexiletine on the next day, and tolerated this well. the patient had no further episodes of significant ventricular tachycardia. 2. coronary artery disease: the patient currently had no symptoms. he was continued on his plavix, statin, beta-blocker, and imdur. patient was not admitted on an aspirin, although he was given an aspirin during his hospitalization given the fact that was coumadin was held. plan for no aspirin on discharge with resuming his coumadin as per his prior home regimen. 3. congestive heart failure: patient has an ischemic cardiomyopathy with an ejection fraction of less than 20%. an echocardiogram on this hospitalization again revealed an ejection fraction of 15-20%. while the patient was npo during episodes of this hospitalization, his lasix and aldactone was held; however, he was continued on his lasix, aldactone, digoxin, and ace inhibitor. patient had no evidence of congestive heart failure during this hospitalization and he resumed his prior medications before discharge. 4. endocrine: patient with hypothyroidism: the patient was continued on his levoxyl. he was also maintained on a regular insulin-sliding scale. blood sugars remained in normal levels, and he did not require significant amounts of insulin. 5. renal: patient with chronic renal insufficiency. remained stable throughout this hospitalization. 6. heme: patient's inr was reversed with vitamin k, and the patient was instructed to resume coumadin dosing on the evening following discharge. the patient will follow up with his cardiologist or primary care physician for further monitoring of his inr and adjustment of his coumadin dose. 7. id: the patient had a temperature greater than 101.5 following his pacemaker placement, and therefore was continued on his cephalosporin, which was originally given for prophylaxis. the patient was transitioned to p.o. antibiotics, plan for seven-day course. condition on discharge: stable. discharge status: to home. discharge diagnoses: 1. icd firing. 2. icd revision. 3. ventricular tachycardia. discharge

history of present illness: mr. is a 72-year-old gentleman with a history of hodgkin's disease was transferred here from hospital because of intractable seizures and decreased mental status. he was in his usual state of health, active and playing golf, until when he began to become "confused" and developed gait difficulties. according to the family, mr. was behaving in a way that was perceived to be nontypical by family members. was also having gait difficulties that were considered to be mild, according to the family members. because of these symptoms, he was evaluated at hospital on . at that time, a head computed tomography was reported as normal. he was give a diagnosis of transient ischemic attacks and was d/c home. over the next three days, mr. problems gradually worsened. on , he was at home when he developed a nonfocal onset of seizure which was later generalized. he was transferred to the nearest emergency department where he continued to have generalized seizures. he was given a dilantin load and phenobarbital. his systolic blood pressure at that time ranged between 120 and 200s. a repeat head ct was reported to be normal. despite the dilantin load and the phenobarbiltal, the patient continued to have clinical seizured. therefore, he was started on an ativan drip and was admitted to the intensive care unit. his dilantin was also continued on therapeutic levels. despite the ativan drip and dilantin therapeutic levels, mr. continued to be unresponsive and had intermittent seizures. the rate of the ativan iv infusion was increased and the patient was intubated. a lumbar puncture was performed on at hospital and showed normal values. a mri with diffusion- weighted imaging showed diffuse hyperintensity in the cerebral cortex (r > l) and both thalami. at this point, the patient remained intubated and unresponsive and was therefore transferred to for further evaluation and care. past medical history: 1. hodgkin's disease diagnosed in after developing a respiratory infection. this was diagnosed as nodular sclerosing hodgkin's disease; stage iii-b with positive -sternberg cells. a bone marrow biopsy was done in which showed no bone marrow involvement. 2. status post chemotherapy with bleomycin, cytoxan, vincristine, and procarbazine two years ago. this had to be discontinued after three cycles because of interstitial lung disease and because of myelosuppression with episodes of neutropenic fever. most recent surveillance computed tomography scan revealed gradual interval progression of hodgkin's disease with slightly large mediastinal lymph nodes. 3. borderline hypertension. 4. colonic polyps. 5. tuberculosis. 6. cataracts. 7. macular degeneration. medications on admission: aspirin, prevacid, and tylenol. ativan drip and dilantin were started at the outside hospital. allergies: ceftin (causes a rash). social history: the patient was a retired chemistry teacher and lived in . he was married with no alcohol or intravenous drug use. family history: family history was noncontributory. concise summary of hospital course: mr. was admitted to the intensive care unit of on . a repeat lp on admission showed normal cells, glucose and protein. a csf sample was also obtained for viral cultures and different viral and fungal ab titers (including west nile virus, arboviruses, hsv, hbvs). routine cultures for bacterial, tb and other infectious agents were also normal. cytology was normal. despite the therapeutic levels of ptn and the iv infusion of ativan, electroencephalogram (eeg) on admission showed epileptiform sharp spike activity suggestive of ongoing epileptict activity. therefore, a penotarbital infusion was started. the pentobarbital infusion was titrated to obtain a burst- suppression pattern on bedside 24 h, eeg monitoring. in particular, the eeg showed sharp waves complexes every 6 to 10 seconds. dilantin and depakote were continued as well. at this point, pressors were started to compensate to the pentobarbital- induced decreased cardiac function. mr condition did not improve and another magnetic resonance imaging examination () showed multicentric areas of t2 hyperintensity with more concentration in the right frontal as well as bilateral thalami. laboratory studies throughout mr. admission included several blood cultures, urine cultures and extensive toxic metabolic workup. another lp for cerebrospinal fluid analysis for infection, toxic metabolic and cytological analysis was also performed. in order to better elucidate the underlying pathology. a brain and meningeal biopsy was performed on in the right frontal lobe. in regards to empiric treatment, after the brain biopsy, the patient received iv solu- medrol and high doses of antibiotics with broad coverage. the infectious disease team was also involved in the care of mr. . all the tests performed on his tissues and fuids obtained under request of the id team, had thus far come back normal. brain and meningeal biopsy were remarkable for an meningitic eosinophilic infiltrates and extensive ischemic cortical neuronal damage (red neurons). there was no evidence of an infectious on traditional staining and/or on electronic microscopy. several attempts in decreasing the dose of pentobarbital resulted in an increased epileptiform activity on bedside eeg monitor. mr. condition deteriorated even further. he had developed ileus, and his abdomen was hyperextended. he had been intubated throughout his entire stay in the intensive care unit and was increasingly dependent on ventilatory support. at this point, the patient's poor clincal status and prognosis was thoroughly discussed with his closest family members. after a family meeting, it was decided that mr. would no longer benefit from aggressive support. therefore, he was extubated and expired briefly thereafter. , m.d. dictated by: medquist36 d: 15:05 t: 16:30 job#: Procedure: Venous catheterization, not elsewhere classified Venous catheterization, not elsewhere classified Continuous invasive mechanical ventilation for 96 consecutive hours or more Spinal tap Incision of lung Enteral infusion of concentrated nutritional substances Open biopsy of brain Diagnoses: Pneumonia, organism unspecified Unspecified essential hypertension Grand mal status Hodgkin's disease, unspecified type, unspecified site, extranodal and solid organ sites Postinflammatory pulmonary fibrosis Macular degeneration (senile), unspecified Antineoplastic and immunosuppressive drugs causing adverse effects in therapeutic use Other generalized ischemic cerebrovascular disease

sternal dehiscence. it was also notable for an extensive fluid collection extending along the entire length of the sternum. he was empirically started on antibiotics and taken to the operating room on for sternal re-wiring. there was no evidence of sternal wound infection. postoperatively, he was maintained on antibiotics and wound irrigation. on in the early am, he became acutely hypotensive and increased his chest tube drainage. transferred to the csru, swan placed, and transfused one unit. emergent echo revealed a moderate sized pericardial effusion that appeared circumferential. his chest was ultimately opened emergently in the unit for washout, and returned to the or for complete washout and a hole in the vein graft was sutured closed. please see op reports for surgical details. following surgery he was transferred to the with open chest and plastic surgery was consulted regarding sternal plating. the following day he was brought back to the operating room for chest closure. echo done at that time revealed an acute pulmonary embolism/thrombus in the ra/rv. this mass/thrombus disappeared later on exam. he then sternal plating closure/bil. pectoralis flaps done by plastic surgery. following surgery he was again transferred back to the csru for invasive monitoring. argatroban started for presumed hit (eventually came back negative) and hematology consulted. on he was weaned from sedation, awoke neurologically intact and extubated. following extubation a bedside swallow study was done, which he initially failed, but repeated with improvement. also on he was transferred to the sdu for further care. extremity u/s revealed thrombus in his right femoral vein, left ij, superficial veins of the left and right cephalic veins, and in the superficial left basilic vein. on a picc line was placed. although operative wound cultures were eventually negative, per id, he will receive 4 weeks of vancomycin for high risk of sternal contamination. he continued to

(2) ventral hernia repair, placement of surgimend and omentectomy. sternal plate removal (dr. . the patient tolerated the procedure well and was transferred to the floor for routine post operate care. he initially had poor pain control and his pca was titrated up. he was kept strictly npo until return of bowel function. unfortunately, he developed acute respiratory distress during the early morning hours of that necessitated transfer to the medical intensive care unit. . # pulmonary: on pod 2, the patient was transferred to the icu for ongoing respiratory distress and hypoxia. he had been on 4l nc since he was in the or; however, he desaturated to the high 80's. also, he had had ongoing difficulty with deep breaths secondary to abdominal pain. cta during this decompensation showed pulmonary embolism. imaging was also concerning for underlying pneumonia as well as fluid overload. shortly after transfer to the icu, the patient was noted to have worsening hypercarbic respiratory failure and depressed mental status. ultimately, he was intubated on . the patient was started on antibiotics to cover for his pneumonia (see below). diuresis was intially limited hypotension; however, his blood pressures improved and he was ultimately diuresed. after a few days of antibiotics and diuresis, the patient's respiratory status improved. his sedating medications were weaned and he was ultimately extubated on . he was called out to the floor on the day following his extubation and remained stable from a pulmonary standpoint. . during the initial workup of his respiratory distress, a left upper lobe lobar pulmonary embolism was noted on cta. of note, patient does have a history of clots right femoral vein, left ij, superficial veins of the left and right cephalic veins, superficial left basilic vein, and pulmonary embolism in setting of surgery for cardiac tamponade s/p cabg . per hematology patient should have a minimum of 6 months of anticoagulation. in 2 months the patient will follow-up with hematology for additional work-up and determination of total length of anticoagulation. mr. was initially on a conservative heparin drip given he is recently post-operative. he was continued on heparin until his inr was therapeutic. . he continued on oxygen via nasal cannula at a rate of 4 lpm for the remainder of his admission and was maintaining an oxygen saturation > 94%. he continued pulmonary toilet with incentive spirometry. he responded well to intermittent doses of lasix and was started on standing lasix 20mg by mouth daily. . pneumonia - patient with likely pneumonia based on imaging and clinical history (reported approximately 1 week of cough during the week prior to surgery). large amount of secretions noted during intubation. pt started on levofloxacin on admission to icu. after intubation, ceftriaxone was added as double-coverage to treat for severe cap. sputum and blood cx were sent but had no growth to date at the time of transfer out of the icu. on transfer out of the icu, the patient was continued on levofloxacin / ceftriaxone with an end date of . . # neuro: post-operatively, the patient received dilaudid via pca initially with poor pain control that was then transitioned to po dilaudid with good effect and adequate pain control. . # cv: patient had troponin leak in setting pneumonia and pulmonary embolism felt to be demand. the patient was evaluated by the cardiology service during this admission. they recommended that the patient should discuss with his outpatient cardiologist the utility of continuing plavix, given the anticoagulation that will be started for his pe. plavix was restarted towards the end of the hospital admission. . multiple ekgs were performed throughout this hospitalization that did not detect any new st or t wave abnormalities or any other findings concerning for ischemia. . # gi/gu: post-operatively, the patient was given iv fluids until tolerating oral intake. his diet was advanced when appropriate, which was tolerated well. he was also started on a bowel regimen to encourage bowel movement. intake and output were closely monitored, and urine output was noted to be marginal on several occasions. the patient initially received boluses of ivf with improvement in his urine output. after these boluses, however, the patient was thought to be in fluid overload and received lasix. his urine output increased with lasix, as well. . the patient was continued on his home dose of finasteride for his bph. . id: the patient was started on antibiotics for hospital acquired pneumonia as above. the patient's temperature was closely watched for signs of infection. . # hematology: the patient's hematocrit did trend downwards slightly after his transfer to the icu. hematocrit was followed and remained stable thereafter. of note, when patient was intubated, og tube was placed and moderate amount of brown guaiac positive liquid was aspirated back; patient was kept on heparin gtt and started on iv ppi. when his plavix was restarted, his ppi was transitioned to an h2 blocker due to the interaction between these two medications. . # musculoskeletal: the patient had difficulty ambulating and getting out of bed. this was thought to be due to deconditioning. a pt consult was requested and the patient vigorous physical therapy. he will require continued physical therapy at rehab. . # prophylaxis: the patient was maintained on subcutaneous heparin after his operation. he was transitioned to heparin drip at the time of his pulmonary embolism, and eventually was started on coumadin. at the time of his discharge, his inr was 4.1 (). his inr from was still pending. medications on admission: albuterol aerosol 4 puffs daily amlodipine 10 mg po daily aspirin 81 mg daily atenolol 25 mg po daily atrovent 4 puffs daily citalopram 60 mg po daily lisinopril 40 mg po daily folic acid 1 mg po daily iron 65 mg po daily vytorin 10/80 mg po daily omeprazole 40 mg po daily oxycodone 5-10 mg po bid:prn plavix 75 mg daily finasteride 5 mg po daily discharge medications: 1. aspirin 81 mg tablet, chewable sig: one (1) tablet, chewable po daily (daily). 2. citalopram 20 mg tablet sig: three (3) tablet po daily (daily). 3. folic acid 1 mg tablet sig: one (1) tablet po daily (daily). 4. ferrous sulfate 325 mg (65 mg iron) tablet sig: one (1) tablet po once a day. 5. simvastatin 40 mg tablet sig: one (1) tablet po daily (daily). 6. acetaminophen 325 mg tablet sig: 1-2 tablets po q6h (every 6 hours) as needed for pain, fever: max 4000 mg tylenol/day. 7. ipratropium bromide 0.02 % solution sig: one (1) nebulizer inhalation q6h (every 6 hours). 8. albuterol sulfate 2.5 mg /3 ml (0.083 %) solution for nebulization sig: one (1) nebulizer inhalation q2h (every 2 hours) as needed for sob, wheezing. 9. nicotine 7 mg/24 hr patch 24 hr sig: one (1) patch 24 hr transdermal daily (daily). 10. potassium & sodium phosphates 280-160-250 mg powder in packet sig: two (2) powder in packet po tid (3 times a day). 11. albuterol sulfate 2.5 mg /3 ml (0.083 %) solution for nebulization sig: one (1) nebulizer inhalation q4h (every 4 hours). 12. ondansetron 4 mg tablet, rapid dissolve sig: one (1) tablet, rapid dissolve po q8h (every 8 hours) as needed for nausea. 13. oxycodone 5 mg tablet sig: one (1) tablet po q4h (every 4 hours) as needed for pain. 14. clopidogrel 75 mg tablet sig: one (1) tablet po daily (daily). 15. famotidine 20 mg tablet sig: one (1) tablet po bid (2 times a day). 16. levofloxacin 750mg po daily: last dose friday . 17. ceftriaxone in dextrose,iso-os 1 gram/50 ml piggyback sig: one (1) intravenous q24h (every 24 hours): last dose friday . 18. warfarin 1 mg tablet sig: dose as necessary for inr tablets po once a day. discharge disposition: extended care facility: - discharge diagnosis: 1) recurrent ventral herniation with omentum up in the anterior chest 2) pulmonary embolism 3) hospital acquired pneumonia discharge condition: mental status: clear and coherent. level of consciousness: alert and interactive. activity status: out of bed with assistance to chair or wheelchair. discharge instructions: personal care: 1. leave your chest dressing in place until your follow up appointment with dr. . if your dressings get wet underneath, you may remove them. 2. clean around the drain site(s), where the tubing exits the skin, with hydrogen peroxide. 3. strip drain tubing, empty bulb(s), and record output(s) times per day. 4. a written record of the daily output from each drain should be brought to every follow-up appointment. your drains will be removed as soon as possible when the daily output tapers off to an acceptable amount. 5. you may shower daily. no baths until instructed to do so by dr. . . activity: 1. you may resume your regular diet. 2. do not lift anything heavier than 5 pounds or engage in strenuous activity until instructed by dr. . . medications: 1. resume your regular medications unless instructed otherwise and take any new meds as ordered. 2. you may take your prescribed pain medication for moderate to severe pain. you may switch to tylenol or extra strength tylenol for mild pain as directed on the packaging. please note that percocet and vicodin have tylenol as an active ingredient so do not take these meds with additional tylenol. 4. take prescription pain medications for pain not relieved by tylenol. 5. take your antibiotic as prescribed. 6. take colace, 100 mg by mouth 2 times per day, while taking the prescription pain medication. you may use a different over-the-counter stool softerner if you wish. 7. do not drive or operate heavy machinery while taking any narcotic pain medication. you may have constipation when taking narcotic pain medications (oxycodone, percocet, vicodin, hydrocodone, dilaudid, etc.);

drips. 1. congestive heart failure issues: at baseline, the patient had been on 2 liters nasal cannula of home oxygen. his oxygen requirement remained stable while in house on 3 liters nasal cannula. he was saturating at 97%. an echocardiogram was performed on which demonstrated an ejection fraction of 20% with global hypokinesis; consistent with prior examination. the patient was continued on digoxin 0.25 mg by mouth once per day and lasix 80 mg intravenously once per day. daily weights and strict ins-and-outs were monitored. on the day of discharge, the patient no longer had edema of the lower extremities. he was saturating at 100% on 2 liters with his lungs clear to auscultation bilaterally. 2. coronary artery disease issues: the patient ruled in by enzyme criteria; however, his electrocardiogram continued to be unchanged with a left bundle-branch block at baseline. there was consideration of catheterization during this inpatient stay; however, given the patient's complications with gastrointestinal bleeds, as well as his reluctance to undergo this procedure, this was deferred. the patient underwent a chemical stress mibi on ; during which time he had no anginal symptoms or interpretable electrocardiogram changes. by verbal report, the nuclear portion of this study demonstrated fixed defects in the anterior/inferior walls with an ejection fraction of 20% and left ventricular cavity enlargement. 3. anemia/gastrointestinal bleed issues: the patient had an episode of melena on the morning of . he denied bright red blood per rectum, hematemesis, coffee-grounds emesis, nausea, vomiting, or abdominal pain. he had never had symptoms of gastrointestinal bleeding in the past. a nasogastric lavage demonstrated no active upper gastrointestinal bleed, and his vital signs remained stable with a stable hematocrit at 29.8. two large-bore intravenous lines were placed, and the patient was transfused a total of three units of packed red blood cells with 80 mg of intravenous lasix prior to this transfusion. he was also started on protonix 40 mg intravenously twice per day. the integrilin, heparin, and aspirin were held. a gastroenterology consultation was obtained, and an esophagogastroduodenoscopy was recommended and performed on the morning of . this demonstrated gastritis. nevertheless, due to the patient's gastrointestinal bleeding he was transferred to the medical intensive care unit because of concern over the initial hematocrit drop from 33 to 26 with a question of potential retroperitoneal bleed. on , when he was transferred to the medical intensive care unit, an abdominal and pelvic computed tomography without contrast was obtained which demonstrated some cholelithiasis without evidence for cholecystitis, and no evidence of retroperitoneal bleed. an anemia workup was continued, and iron studies demonstrated an elevated ferritin and decreased total iron-binding capacity suggesting likely anemia of chronic disease with acute anemia secondary to gastritis superimposed. the patient remained stable and was transferred back to the c-med service on the evening of . for the duration of his inpatient course, the patient's hematocrit remained stable at 32.7, and he did not experience subsequent episodes of melena or hematemesis. of note, the aspirin, heparin, and integrilin continued to be held (this contributed to the unwillingness to perform cardiac catheterization during this inpatient stay). 4. pneumonia issues: on admission chest x-ray, the patient was noted to have a lingular infiltrate that was felt to be new compared to prior studies. of note, the patient's white blood cell count was 7.8, but he did spike to 102.3 degrees fahrenheit on . thus, it was felt that the chest x-ray infiltrate was consistent with pneumonia, and he was started on levofloxacin 500 mg once per day for a 10-day course. the patient's chest x-ray gradually improved during his inpatient stay. on the day of discharge, his temperature was 99.6 with a white blood cell count of 13.3. of note, his maximum white blood cell count had been 13.9. the patient had been afebrile for 48 hours prior to discharge. 5. diabetes mellitus issues: the patient was placed on an insulin sliding-scale with four times per day fingersticks. his glucose remained within normal limits during this hospital course. 6. mental status change issues: the patient was minimally agitated during his medical intensive care unit stay. it was felt that this was likely baseline dementia with superimposed intensive care unit delirium. he did have a recent head computed tomography which showed no acute event. of note, his mental status was much improved upon transfer to the floor. discharge disposition: the patient was discharged on . his vital signs were stable. he was saturating at 100% on 2 liters nasal cannula. his creatine kinase levels had been dropping from 187 to 108 with a troponin of 0.31. he was asymptomatic. condition at discharge: condition on discharge was stable. discharge diagnoses: 1. acute non-st-segment myocardial infarction. 2. pneumonia. 3. coronary artery disease. 4. gastrointestinal bleed. medications on discharge: 1. lipitor 20 mg by mouth once per day. 2. celexa 20 mg by mouth by mouth twice per day. 3. doxazosin 2-mg tablets one tablet by mouth once per day. 4. timolol eyedrops 0.25% one both eyes q.a.m. 5. levofloxacin 500-mg tablets one tablet by mouth once per day (for a 10-day course with day one being on ). 6. lisinopril 40 mg by mouth once per day. 7. digoxin 250-mg tablets one tablet by mouth once per day. 8. carvedilol 12.5 mg by mouth twice per day. 9. protonix 40-mg tablets one tablet by mouth twice per day. discharge instructions/followup: 1. the patient was instructed to follow up with dr. in the medical building, suite b, on at 11 a.m. (telephone number ). 2. the patient was instructed to follow up with dr. in the building, on at 12:10 p.m. (telephone number ). 3. the patient was advised to call 911 or present to the nearest emergency department with symptoms of chest pressure, shortness of breath, jaw discomfort, palpitations, or diaphoresis. 4. the patient was advised to resume all outpatient medications; aside from aspirin. , m.d. dictated by: medquist36 d: 08:42 t: 14:08 job#: Procedure: Other endoscopy of small intestine Injection or infusion of platelet

allergies: inderal / bactrim / codeine / penicillins attending: chief complaint: epididymitis major surgical or invasive procedure: incision and drainage of fournier's gangrene history of present illness: the patient is a 75 year old male who was transferred from an outside hospital because of a suspected myocardial infarction on and possible need for cardiac catheterization. he was admitted to the cardiology service initially. his symproms actually began six days prior to admission with flu-like symptoms. then five days prior to admission, the patient began complaining of a painful lump in his left testicle. his symptoms gradually worsened, with increasing pain, erythema, and edema of his left testicle. in addition, he complained of difficulty urinating for two days prior to admission. he was admitted to an outside hospital four days prior to admission here, at which time a foley catheter was placed and he was started on iv levofloxacin and clindamycin (which was switched to levofloxacin and vancomycin the following day) for epididymitis diagnosed by ultrasound. the ultrasound also showed questionable air in the scrotum. the patient was seen by a urologist, dr. , as well as an infectious disease specialist. he denied any trauma to his scrotum. he has no significant urologic history. his prostate examination revealed a 20 to 25 gram nonfluctuent prostate. he is not diabetic and he is not immunocompromised. he reported that his pain has been improving on the antibiotics. however, on the night prior to admission he developed acute pulmonary edema, shortness of breath, hypotension and ekg changes suggestive of myocardial infarction (st elevation in leads v1- depression in v5-6). his peak troponin was 0.96. neo-synepherine was started upon admission because of hypotension, which was presumed to be secondary to sepsis. significant cardiac history includes a cabg in , hypertension, aortic stenosis, mitral regurgitation, high cholesterol, and congestive heart failure (ef of 40%). upon re-evaluation at this hospital, his ekg changes were thought to be secondary to demand ischemia, rather than a myocardial infarction. in addition, the patient was noted to be in acute renal failure, with a createnine of 1.8 on admission, likely due to prerenal causes. blood and urine cultures from the outside hospital were all negative. past medical history: as above. left femoral to popliteal bypass graft social history: none significant family history: none physical exam: general: no apparent distress heent: pupils equal, round and reactive to light,

base xs-3 intubat-intubated brief hospital course: the patient was admitted to the cardiology service at on for presumed myocardial infarction on electrocardiogram, which was later attributed to demand ischemia due to sepsis. he was initially started on neo-synephrine for hypotension. he was continued on vancomycin and levofloxacin for his epididymitis. the urology team saw and evaluated the patient as a consult service under dr. . our suspicion of fournier's gangrene at that time was very low, considering his lack of risk factors and lack of significant groin erythema, however a ct scan of his abdomen and pelvis was ordered to rule out fournier's. that ct scan confirmed the diagnosis of fournier's gangrene on the morning of hospital day two (tracking of air around his left hemi scrotum tracking up the left spermatic cord. at that time, the patient was emergently rushed to the operating room for emergent surgical debridement by dr. and dr. , chief urology resident. during the operation, the patient had the majority of his left scrotum and all of his left testicle removed. he was then admitted to the trauma intensive care unit. he was sedated on propofol with fentanyl for pain. he was started on a levophed drip to maintain blood pressure. a central venous line was placed, as well as a swann ganz catheter. an oro-gastric tube was placed and put to gravity. his foley was continued from the operating room. dressing changes to his scrotum were scheduled for three times per day. on postoperative day two, his maximum temperature was 101.0. his levophed drip was weaned to a low level. tube feeds were started through his ng tube. on postoperative day three, the plastic surgery service began their evaluation of the patient for future closure of his wound. his propofol was discontinued. his levophed was discontinued. he vomited twice and his tube feeds were held for high residuals. he recieved one unit of red blood cells for a hematocrit under 30, and his hematocrit responded well. his acute renal appeared to have resolved, as his createnine dropped down to 1.0. on postoperative day four, his ventillator was weaned to pressure support, however he had some apneic spells. a hit panel was negative and his subcutaneous heparin was restarted. he had some bedside debridement by the urology team and his wound looked like it was healing well. he was transfused with another unit of red blood cells. the patient was noted to be roughly twenty liters positive and diuresis with a lasix drip was started as tolerated. on postoperative day seven, the patient required some propofol for sedation due to endotracheal tube and oro-gastric tube irritation. a sputum culture came back positive for mrsa sensative to vancomycin. his wound cultures were positive for mixed flora including bacteroides, provatella, and coagulase negative staphylococcus. a wound vac was placed by urology. on postoperative day eight, a post-pyloric feeding tube was placed by interventional radiology because the patient was not tolerating tube feeds via the oro-gastric tube. on postoperative day nine, dr. agreed to allow placement of a tracheostomy tube and a peg tube at a later date. the patient had been unable to tolerate a ventillator wean up to this point, most likely due to his fluid overload and his cardiac history. tube feeds were running at agoal of 90ml/ hour. on postoperative day ten, his flagyl and levofloxacin were discontinued. he was transfused one unit of blood for a hematocrit less than thirty. on postoperative day twelve, he recieved another unit of red blood cells. on pod 14, a #8 percutaneous trach was placed at the bedside. a perc peg was placed uner direct visualization, but the tube was pulled through the abdominal wall. the patient was subsequently taken to the or for an open gastrostomy tube which was placed without further complication. vancomycin was stopped on after a complete 14-day course. on , the wound was closed primarily at the bedside by the plastic surgery service. tf were restarted on and advanced as tolerated. a picc line was also placed on . propofol was d/c'd on . on , the patient spiked a temp to 102. cultures were drawn and the a-line tip sent for culture as well. tube feeds were held for high residuals, an ileus was found on imaginig. pt evaluation occured on . trach mask trials were started on and the vent weaned as tolerated, with the patient still requring vent assistance most of the day. vancomycin was restarted on for mrsa sputum; it will be continued for 7 days; the jp drain was removed on this day as well. tf were restarted on and brought to goal over the next day. the patient is now tolerating tf at goal with bowel movements. on , the patient was tolerating tf at goal, having bowel movements, tolerating trach mask trials daily, was working with pt, had good pain control with roxicet elixer, was alert and requring no sedation. he was subsequently transfered to rehab for physical therapy and vent weaning. medications on admission: lipitor 20', atenolol 25', asa 81', zestril 5', protonix 40' discharge medications: 1. acetaminophen 325 mg tablet sig: 1-2 tablets po q4-6h (every

radiation oncology decided not to perform radiation mapping and to hold off for another several weeks before planning to start xrt, since patient has a slow growing glioma, and xrt could exacerbate pna. patient known by dr will follow up with him as scheduled. patient was transferred to step-down unit on . his speech continued to become more articulate and clear, and his mental status continued to become more clear. the patient stated that his dizziness has improved. . # necrotizing pneumonia: patient has a known pulmonary process that been followed in hospital in ma. in house repeat ct of the chest significant for left lower lobe, consolidative opacity, with central area of necrosis, an air-fluid level, and low-attenuation material. additionally, there are several areas within the right and left lungs peripherally, with patchy opacity and tree-in- opacities, concerning for multifocal opacity. there is also a wedge-shaped opacity in the right lower lung zone, some of which may represent atelectasis.there is a 3.3 x 2.6 cm nodule with multiple foci of calcification within the left lower lobe. attempt to obtain images from hospital regarding pulmonary lesions for comparison, with medical records to sent ua cd images. medicine and interventional pulmonary services recommended continue antibiotics, and follow up with chest ct with and with out contrast in 4 weeks in

with an air/fluid level in left posterior lung. following his surgery, he was extubated w/out event but required reintubation later that evening desaturation. on , a chest ct was done which showed a multifocal pneumonic process with lll necrotizing pna. he underwent a bronch on with bal revealing mssa and stenotrophamonas and was started on levofloxacin (now d10/14), vanco (since d/c), and clinda (d10/42) at this time. bactrim (d5/14) was added on when bal grew stenotrophamonas. . during this time, he has been intermittantly hypoxic with thick secretions requiring frequent suctioning. over the past 2d, he has been afebrile and his secretions have cleared appreciably. he has maintained his o2 sats on 4l nc. other than this, the patient has been intermittantly hypertensive requiring the addition of captopril to his outpatient regimen. he has also failed numerous speech and swallow evaluations requring ng tube feeds to maintain his nutritional status. from an oncologic standpoint, his pontine lesion is not amenable to resection and the plan is to initiate palliative radiation therapy. per neurosurgery, his prognosis is extremely poor. finally, the patient has requested transfer to

history of present illness: mr. is a 42-year-old gentleman injured in a motorcycle versus car accident. the patient was the passenger of the motorcycle. past medical history: no prior medical problems. medications: no outpatient medications. summary of hospital course: the patient was brought to the trauma bay where he underwent full evaluation and resuscitation by the trauma team. the patient was found to have a left open comminuted fracture of the left lower extremity with a significant degloving injury. the patient was taken to the operating room for washout and external fixation of the patient's fracture by the orthopedic team. in addition, the patient received a consult from the vascular surgery team which determined that the patient was vascularly intact. following his initial washout, the patient was taken to the intensive care unit for close observation. on hospital day #2, the patient was transferred to the floor as he had been hemodynamically and neurologically stable. on hospital day #4, the patient was taken to the operating room again for a combined procedure with the orthopedic and plastic surgery team. orthopedic team placed an intramedullary nail into the patient's left tibia. a plastic surgery team then covered the patient's open defect with a rectus free flap. the patient tolerated the procedure well and there were no intraoperative complications. the patient was initially monitored in the stepdown intensive care unit for close observation of this flap. the patient also had a split thickness skin graft placed over the flap, as the patient had significant loss of skin tissue from his degloving injury. the patient did well after surgery and flap had no complications. throughout his stay, the patient continued to have a strong dopplerable signal both arterial and venous and a good take of his skin graft. on postoperative day #2, the patient was transferred to the floor as he no longer required hourly flap checks. beginning on postoperative day #5, the patient was allowed to begin dangling his left lower extremity which he tolerated without any problems. on postoperative day #7, the patient was seen by the physical therapist for instructions on non weight bearing of the left lower extremity transfers to chair. at this point, the patient was medically stable and ready for discharge to a rehabilitation facility. throughout his stay, the patient was also given aspirin q day and deep venous thrombosis prophylaxis with subcutaneous heparin. the patient was also on kefzol for the duration of his stay. discharge condition: the patient was stable during discharge. discharge disposition: the patient will be discharged to a rehabilitation facility, as the patient will have orthopedic ambulatory difficulties given his non weight bearing status on his left lower extremity. he will continue to be non weight bearing on the left lower extremity with dangling only, however the patient may transfer to a chair as long as his left lower extremity is elevated. discharge medications: 1. keflex 500 mg po qid 2. aspirin 81 mg po q day 3. lopressor 25 mg po bid 4. percocet 1 to 2 tablets po q 4 to 6 hours prn 5. colace 100 mg po bid 6. zolpidem 5 mg po q hs prn other instructions: the patient may begin showering or having a spray of water over his wound, however the patient is not to have any tub soaks. the patient should not progress on his weight bearing status until after his follow up with dr. in one week. , m.d. dictated by: medquist36 Procedure: Other skin graft to other sites Debridement of open fracture site, tibia and fibula Application of external fixator device, tibia and fibula Open reduction of fracture with internal fixation, tibia and fibula Closure of skin and subcutaneous tissue of other sites Removal of implanted devices from bone, tibia and fibula Diagnoses: Tobacco use disorder Open wound of scalp, without mention of complication Unspecified fracture of ankle, open Foreign body accidentally left during a procedure Open wound of jaw, without mention of complication Abrasion or friction burn of trunk, without mention of infection Abrasion or friction burn of elbow, forearm, and wrist, without mention of infection Other motor vehicle traffic accident involving collision with motor vehicle injuring motorcyclist

history of present illness: mr. is a pleasant 73-year-old gentleman with a past medical history significant for multiple myeloma, peptic ulcer disease, cholangitis, iron deficiency anemia, b12 deficiency anemia, status post cholecystectomy and appendectomy, who was transferred to the from for an ercp. the patient had an ercp that was done on , and had a stent placed with no significant findings except for mild dilatation, but no stones or strictures. the patient had developed gram-negative (klebsiella grown and e. coli) rod sepsis and jaundice prior to the first ercp. the patient did well for a few days, and then on , presented with a one day history of right upper quadrant pain, no nausea, vomiting, fever, or rigors. a mri that was done after showed abnormal tissue in the region of porta hepatis and some lymphadenopathy. so patient was transferred here for a repeat ercp. during the ercp procedure, the initial contrast revealed an amorphous intraductal mass. with further manipulation and extraction of the mass, there was an old blood clot and once the blood clot was removed, bright red blood began to drain from the biliary system. the gi fellow estimated about 1 unit of blood loss. the patient was stable and alert during and after the procedure, and was transferred to the intensive care unit for further management and eventually to interventional radiology for an a-gram. an a-gram was done that showed no active bleeding, however, the stent that was placed in the common bile duct was no longer there. the patient was then transferred to the floor after the hematocrit had been stable for greater than 24 hours and there was no evidence of any new acute bleed. past medical history: 1. multiple myeloma diagnosed in . 2. peptic ulcer disease. 3. cholangitis. 4. iron deficiency anemia. 5. b12 deficiency anemia. 6. status post cholecystectomy in . 7. status post appendectomy. medications on admission: 1. iron 325 mg po q day. 2. colace 100 mg po bid. 3. levaquin 500 mg po q day. 4. ambien 5 mg po q day. allergies: no known drug allergies. social history: the patient lives with his brother, , and the patient denies any alcohol, smoking, or iv drug abuse at this time. physical exam on admission to the unit: temperature of 97.0, blood pressure 130/55, heart rate of 105, respiratory rate 20, and o2 saturation 100% on room air. general: comfortable, in no acute distress. heent: moist mucosal membranes. extraocular movements are intact. pupils are equal, round, and reactive to light and accommodation. cardiovascular: s1, s2 slightly tachycardic, no murmurs, rubs, or gallops heard. lungs are clear to auscultation bilaterally. abdomen is soft, nondistended, mild tenderness in the epigastric area to deep palpation, decreased bowel sounds. extremities: no clubbing, cyanosis, or edema. skin: no evidence of any rash. neurologic: cranial nerves ii through xii tested grossly intact. laboratories on admission: white count 5.3, hematocrit 21.2, platelets of 301, sodium 133, potassium 3.1, chloride 106, bicarb 20, bun 13, creatinine 0.4, glucose 117, alt 303, ast 167, alkaline phosphatase 704, total bilirubin 1.2. hospital course: 1. gi: patient was admitted to the intensive care unit after an ercp because of a bleed. the patient's hematocrit at that time was 21.2 and the patient received 2 units and hematocrit was checked q6h for 24-48 hours. his hematocrit continued to remain stable between 25-27, however, one additional unit of blood was given when the patient was transferred to the floor and his hematocrit continued to remain stable in the range of 29-31. the patient also had a repeat ct angiogram for pancreatic protocol that was done on , and it was found that there was no evidence of any mass and patient had a dilated common bile duct with wall thickening and enhancement which is consistent with either hemobilia or cholangitis. however, patient's findings were most likely secondary to his hemobilia since he did have a bleed after his ercp. in addition, the ct angiogram did show extensive bony involvement of his multiple myeloma. also during the hospital course, the patient was started on broad antibiotic coverage consisting of ampicillin, flagyl, and levaquin for prophylaxis against developing cholangitis. during the hospital course, the patient did not seem to have any right upper quadrant tenderness or epigastric tenderness that would be concerned with cholangitis, and on the date of discharge, he was sent with levaquin 500 mg po q day for seven additional days. the patient's diet was also slowly advanced. he was made npo after his procedure for about two days and was started on a liquid diet and then eventually into a soft diet all of which the patient tolerated well. 2. oncology: the patient has a history of multiple myeloma, and as per the ct angiogram, it appears that there is extensive metastases to the bones. a brief discussion was brought up with the patient regarding further management, and if he wanted to see an oncologist at that time, he said that his care is provided by dr. in the area, and patient would want to talk to him before pursuing any further intervention. however, the patient would prefer to let it be as it is, and did not appear to be interested in any chemotherapy, or radiation therapy, or even talking to an oncologist during this hospital course. discharge diagnoses: 1. status post ercp bleed. 2. multiple myeloma. discharge condition: the patient is stable at time of discharge. discharge medications: 1. protonix 40 mg po q day. 2. levofloxacin 500 mg po q day x7 days. 3. the patient is to continue taking all of his outpatient medications. followup: the patient was asked to setup an appointment with his primary care physician, . in the next 3-4 days. the patient states that he would call and setup an appointment, according to his own time. , m.d. dictated by: medquist36 Procedure: Endoscopic sphincterotomy and

fracture. 3) marked, diffuse bilateral increased renal uptake is non-specific and may be secondary to interstitial nephritis brief hospital course: 38 y/o m w/ alcohol/hepc cirrhosis with admitted with s. aureus bacteremia, and seizure. . 1) unclear source. patient did not have localizing signs or symptoms (other than chronic abdominal pain) and did not have a history c/w meningitis/meningoencephalitis. he underwent tte and tee while in the icu, both w/o evidence of vegetation. surveillance cultures remained negative (although all drawn on abx) and patient was w/o evidence of embolic or immunologic phenomena on examination. he remaineed afebrile in house. he also underwent bone scan to r/o occult osteomyelitis, which did not show evidence of infectious focus. lp was deferred per neuro recommendations- it was felt that the patient had been on antibiotics for approximately 5days on transfer from osh and his coagulopathy and thrombocytopenia would induce additional risk for the procedure. at the osh, the patient was initially started on vancomycin and ctx. when sensitivities returned as mssa the patient was switched to nafcillin. he completed 12 days of antibiotic therapy and subsequently developed arf (cr peaked at 3.5) but rapidly recovered. fena>1%, u/s neg, eos neg (including peripheral), sediment bland. bone scan did show evidence of

isosorbide were held. she had no further hypotension following initial volume recessitation. however, she continued to be hypoglycemic at times, thought most likely secondary to persistent blood levels of glipizide in the setting of renal insufficiency as well as poor po intake. patient's po intake began to improve and prior to transfer to the floor, bgs had improved to 70-140 . micu stay

enteropathy associated t-cell lymphoma diagnosed in , with known gastric and jejunal ulcers and history of small bowel resection for microperforation, admitted for auto-bmt on . he was previously treated with hyper-cvad (did not tolerate) and 5 cycles of chop. his course was complicated by a bout of hepatitis in which was felt to be chemical in etiology and led to weight loss, sprue exacerbation and relapse. following his bout of hepatitis, mr. was started back on tpn and has been doing well on it. he was recently teated with a cycle of ice chemotherapy and collected in preparation for auto-bmt. his bone marrow performed at the beginning of revealed some minimal involvement with his t-cell lymphoma. his liver biopsy performed on revealed numerous apoptotic hepatocytes, multiple small foci of sinusoidal mononuclear inflammation and enlarged kupffer cells consistent with acute hepatitis. no neoplastic cells. tissue egd performed on showed some involvement by enteropathy associated t-cell lymphoma in one biopsy section. past medical history: 1. sprue: diagnosis , which was refractory to gluten-free diet at which point prednisone therapy was initiated. further investigation led to biopsy of small bowel and the diagnosis of t cell lymphoma was made. 2. t cell lymphoma: as per hpi. 3. transaminitis: from (peak ast 198, alt 247, alk phos 1062, negative hav, hbv, hcv, hiv, cmv, toxo, vzv, hsv1, hsv2). thought to be secondary to chemo and/or tpn. liver bx revealed non-specific inflammation consistent with acute hepatitis. social history: mr. lives

urinalysis negative cmv igg and igm negative brief hospital course: his hospital course will be reviewed by problems: 1) enteropathy-associated t-cell lymphoma: he received ara-c and etoposide (day -6 to -3) and melphalan (day -2) as part of the beam protocol, followed by a rest day. reinfusion was done on , which was well tolerated. his period of neutropenia extended from to , at which time his anc was back up to 2230. he had evidence of only mild oropharyngeal mucositis which was treated with peridex and nystatin. on , mr. had an acute transfusion reaction to platelets, with hypotension, diffuse dermal edema and periorbital edema, currently under investigation. he received solumedrol iv and pepcid iv with symptomatic relief. premedication changed to hydrocortisone 100 mg iv, benadryl 50 mg iv, pecid 20 mg iv, tylenol 500-650 mg po. 2) id: mr had an isolated temperature spike on (day -3), at which time he was started on vancomycin and levoquin (latter to be started as part of the protocol on ). he quickly defervesced, but developed a diffuse maculopapular rash on , at which time vanco was d/c'd as it was felt to be a possible culprit. cultures from that time were negative. he became febrile again on , at which time vanco and cefepime were started, and levoquin was discontinued. he remained persistently febrile and an antifungal was added, along with flagyl for a history of diarrhea (eventually c. difficile negative). his rash persisted, and decision was taken to d/c cefepime (query contribution to persistent rash) and start aztreonam. given worsening of the rash with periorbital edema and query contribution to the fever, along with possibility of drug fever, all antibiotics were stopped on and he received 1 dose of solumedrol. he defervesced for 24 hours, then his temperature rose again. he was restarted on flagyl and levo on . ambisome was added on secondary to a finding of pulmonary nodules on ct scan, however pulmonary did not feel these were significant, and ambisome was d/c'ed on since the patient was not neutopenic. his temperature reached a peak to 104.6 on . ct chest on revealed multiple small non-specific nodules, felt by pulmonary to be non-significant. ct abdomen and pelvis negative on . aztreonam was added to the regimen on . id was consulted, and antibiotics were changed to meropenem and flagyl, and continue acyclovir. daptomycin was added on given persistent fever and desire to broaden gram positive coverage (vancomycin was felt to be a potential culprit in the rash). all cultures negative thus far except for a single bottle positive for corynebacterium on felt to be a contaminant. an mri of the liver done on was negative for hepatic candidiasis. stool cultures were negative. repeat cmv negative. he defervesced on the above regimen. his last temperature spike was on . on meropenem and flagyl were discontinued, with no further fever spikes. he will be discharged on acyclovir, and nystatin swish and swallow. 3) gi: on , mr. had a hct drop from 27 to 21 with frankly guaiac positive stools. the source was felt most likely to be upper gi. he was seen by gi, who was reluctant to perform a scope given the patient's low platelets and leukopenia, although anc > 500. decision was taken to treat conservatively, with blood product support. on , his hct dropped again from 29 to 21.8 with persistent melanotic stools and he was transferred to the icu. an egd was performed on , which revealed ulceration in d3 consistent with an area of ulcerative duodenitis without active bleeding. the egd was otherwise normal to d2. pill endoscopy was considered but cancelled given a prior history of small bowel stricture. the bleeding was also not significant enought for a tagged rbc scan. he received a total of 6 units prbcs in the icu, and 4 units of platelets. he was transferred back to the floor on . his hct has remained stable since transfer, without further melena. protonix iv changed to po bid on , which he will be discharged on. 4) rash: history as above in id section. he developed a diffuse maculopapular rash on , which changed to a diffuse blanching erythematous rash on and persisted. he also developped some periorbital edema on and received a dose of solumedrol. dermatology was consulted, with an impression of erythroderma. levoquin, cefepime and vancomycin considered potential culprits and to be avoided. he was treated symptomatically with triamcinolone, and the rash resolved. 5) fen: mr. was given tpn while he was here, in addition to being encouraged to eat. he will go home with tpn cycled over 10 hours at night, and encouraged to eat a gluten free diet. discharge medications: 1. protonix 40 mg tablet, delayed release (e.c.) sig: one (1) tablet, delayed release (e.c.) po

history of present illness: the patient is a 26-year-old woman with a history of iv drug abuse, who initially presented to an outside hospital on from a drug and detoxification facility with a chief complaint of headache, abdominal pain, and fever. at the outside hospital, the patient was found to be febrile to 104.6 degrees f, and she subsequently developed hypotension with a systolic blood pressure in the 80s. during this initial evaluation, the patient was confused and only intermittently answering questions. there was concern for possible headache, neck stiffness, and photophobia, so given the concern for meningitis, a spinal tap was done. this study demonstrated 50 white blood cells (84% neutrophils), 10 red blood cells, protein of 23, glucose of 86, and 0-5 yeast per high power field. given these findings and concern for meningitis, the patient received vancomycin, ceftriaxone, metronidazole, and gentamicin at the outside hospital. given the lack of intensive care unit beds at the outside hospital, the patient was therefore transferred to the for further evaluation. on arrival to the emergency department at the , the patient was found to have icteric sclerae, a 2/6 systolic ejection murmur, abdominal guarding, and right upper quadrant tenderness. given the concern for an abdominal process, the patient was given levofloxacin and metronidazole; she was also given ambisome given the finding of yeast in her csf at the outside hospital. in the emergency department, she had an abdominal ultrasound that was negative for the presence of gallbladder or ductal dilatation. also at this time, the patient began to deny the report that she was hiv positive; this report has been obtained only by report and not by documented laboratory testing from the outside hospital. past medical history: 1. intravenous drug abuse. 2. cholelithiasis. 3. cholecystectomy. 4. spontaneous abortion x2. 5. therapeutic abortion x1. allergies: no known drug allergies. medications on admission: none. social history: the patient is a single mother of three children ages 9, 8, and 2 years old. she is unemployed. she last used heroin 3-4 days prior to admission; she began using heroin one year prior to admission. the patient smokes a third of a pack of cigarettes a day and denies any history of alcohol abuse. she denies any history of providing sexual favors for drugs or money. she says her only lifetime partner is her husband. initial physical examination: temperature 97.6, heart rate 95, blood pressure 113/71, respiratory rate 20, and oxygen saturation 100% on room air. during this initial evaluation, the patient was not reliable as a historian. she appeared to be a well dressed well-nourished female in moderate distress from "not feeling well", lying in bed, and subsequently having emesis x1. heent exam: extraocular movements are intact. there was mild scleral icterus. mild conjunctival edema. pupils are equal, round, and reactive to light. there were small conjunctival hemorrhages on the right greater than on the left. her face was symmetric. her neck was stiff with pain with flexion half-way down towards the chest. the right ij central venous catheter was in place. a small posterior cervical lymph node is palpable. her oropharyngeal examination was remarkable for upper dentures with eroded mucosa and white plaques consistent with thrush underneath. her tongue was coated with a whitish film, and she had a few petechiae on her upper palate. her heart was regular, rate, and rhythm, and there was a holosystolic murmur throughout the precordium that radiated to the axilla. her lungs were clear to auscultation bilaterally. her abdomen was soft, there were normoactive bowel sounds, she had bilateral upper quadrant guarding, and mild abdominal distention. the patient notes that her abdominal discomfort has been present for the past five months. she had bilateral upper extremity tract marks in her right forearm and in her bilateral antecubital fossa that were clean. scattered dark macules were seen on her palms bilaterally. she had mild, but not true cmt on pelvic examination. she was moving all extremities freely and equally and had full strength on neurologic examination. her laboratories from the outside hospital included the following: urinalysis was essentially negative. one out of two blood culture bottles were growing gram-positive cocci in clusters initially. her csf demonstrated 0-4 neutrophils and 0-5 yeasts per high power field, 10 red blood cells, 50 white cells (80% neutrophils, 3% lymphocytes, 13% monocytes), 23 protein, and 86 glucose. her complete blood count showed a white count of 13.3, hematocrit 35.5, and platelets 110,000. differential for white count demonstrated 77 neutrophils, 14% bands, 2% lymphocytes, and 6% monocytes. her inr was 1.28 and her ptt was 49. serum chemistries demonstrated a sodium of 133, bicarbonate 21, bun 34, creatinine 2.0. of note, her creatinine was 0.5 in . her total bilirubin is 3, direct bilirubin 2.3, alt 967, ast 396, ggt 125, alkaline phosphatase 156; her lfts had been normal at baseline one month prior. her electrocardiogram at the outside hospital demonstrated sinus tachycardia at 112 beats per minute, normal axis, and normal intervals. her head ct scan from the outside hospital demonstrated motion artifact and normal volumes to the ventricles. an abdominal ultrasound demonstrated increased echotexture to the bilateral kidneys, and no evidence of hydronephrosis. at the , her laboratories demonstrated sodium 140, potassium 3.8, chloride 113, bicarbonate 16, bun 26, creatinine 1.5, and glucose of 204. her calcium was 5.8, magnesium 1.2, and phosphate 3. her white count was 12.2, hematocrit 29.7, and platelets of 60,000. differential of her white count demonstrated 68% neutrophils, 19% bands, 9% lymphocytes, and 4% monocytes. her fibrinogen was 477, fdp 10-40, and d dimer was pending. her alt was 529, ast 150, alkaline phosphatase 97, amylase 46, lipase 23, and albumin 2.3. her urinalysis had greater than 50 red blood cells, white blood cells, and leukocyte esterase and nitrate were negative. her ptt was 36.7 and her inr of 1.6. her abdominal ultrasound demonstrated minimal new intrahepatic ductal dilatation and small pneumobilia. a hiv test was done on admission to the and was pending. hospital course by systems: 1. infectious diseases: while the patient was reported to be hiv positive upon her arrival to the emergency department at the , her hiv test subsequently returned negative. she also informed her caretakers that she had multiple hiv tests in the past, all of which had been negative. the report of "yeast" found in her csf at the osh was also found to be false-positive. no yeast or fungal organisms grew out the culture of her csf, and a csf gram stain was repeated twice at the outside hospital and found to be negative both times. the patient received several doses of ambisome at the , but once it had been confirmed that the finding of yeast was a false-positive, her ambisome was discontinued. by hospital day three, the gram-positive cocci in clusters that ultimately grew out from blood culture bottles at the outside hospital had been speciated as methicillin-sensitive staphylococcus aureus (mssa). once this definitive speciation was made, the patient's antibiotic regimen was tailored to include oxacillin and gentamicin; the gentamicin was used for only four days in order to aid in the clearance of her bacteremia. given the finding of this bacteremia and her alarming concert of symptoms on admission, a transthoracic echocardiogram was performed on hospital day two. this study demonstrated a thickened posterior mitral leaflet with a question of prolapse and at least mild-to-moderate mitral regurgitation consistent with possible endocarditis. biventricular systolic function was preserved. pulmonary artery systolic hypertension was seen. given these findings, a transesophageal echocardiogram was performed on hospital day three. this study demonstrated a moderate sized mitral valve vegetation consistent with a diagnosis of bacterial endocarditis. given this finding, it was felt that all of the patient's initial signs and symptoms were consistent with bacterial endocarditis. given that the finding of yeast in the csf was found to be a false-positive, and given that all subsequent gram stain and culture data from the csf remained negative, the patient was not felt to have had bacterial meningitis at any point (of note, two colonies of gram-positive cocci in clusters were isolated from the patient's csf culture; however, these colonies were subsequently speciated as coag-negative staph, and were therefore thought to be a contaminate. given the patient's lfts abnormalities on admission, an abdominal ct scan was done on hospital day two. this study demonstrated a focal area of low attenuation in the contrast enhanced right kidney, that was ultimately attributed to a septic embolus to the right kidney. also seen were large bilateral pleural effusions with compressive atelectasis, ascites, and free abdominal fluid, and a large amount of pelvic fluid. these fluid collections were all thought to be secondary to a systemic inflammatory response syndrome secondary to the patient's underlying bacterial endocarditis. in order to rule out the possibility of an epidural abscess, a spinal mri was done on hospital day four. this study demonstrated no evidence of epidural abscess. also of note, a mri of the head had been done on hospital day two in order to further evaluate for the possibility of meningeal inflammation. this study did not demonstrate any definite evidence of a focal lesion in the third ventricle or a focal mass within the brain. following the initiation of the appropriate antibiotic therapy as noted above, the patient slowly began to improve clinically. she initially continued to spike high fevers, but she gradually defervesced. her white count also initially remained elevated, but this too gradually began to trend down while on appropriate antibiotics. she did develop reactive arthridities in both her left ankle and her left hand. the department of rheumatology was consulted given these reactive arthridities and recommended supportive care to the area. the patient's lfts abnormalities present on admission gradually normalized. of note, however, the patient did develop mild elevations in her alkaline phosphatase, amylase, and lipase following the initiation of oxacillin therapy. it was thought that these elevations may have been secondary to oxacillin, but the elevations did not persist and had begun to trend towards normal at the time of discharge. given these normalizations, and given that the patient's hematocrit had been remaining stable (thus indicating that there was no significant myelosuppression as a result of oxacillin therapy), the patient was discharged with a plan for six weeks of continued oxacillin therapy. in order to rule out the possibility of mycotic aneurysm in the brain, a mri of the head was obtained on hospital day seven. this study demonstrated no evidence of acute infarct from septic emboli, and a subtle increased signal in the right temporal region that could be within the sulcus. a similar, but less apparent abnormality was also seen along the sulcus of the left occipital region. these abnormalities were nonspecific in nature, but were thought to possibly have been due to a high protein content of the csf. given the patient's overall clinical stability, however, the decision was made to clinically follow the patient as an outpatient following her discharge from the hospital. also of note, the patient had a cervical chlamydia probe return positive during this hospitalization. she received azithromycin 1,000 mg once during her hospitalization for treatment of this chlamydia. 2. cardiovascular: given that the patient had significant endocarditis, a cardiology consult was obtained early in the patient's hospitalization for evaluation of whether or not the patient was a surgical candidate for her endocarditis. given that the patient did not have clinically significant congestive heart failure or valvular dysfunction with persistent infection after 7-10 days of appropriate antibiotics, the patient was deemed not to be a surgical candidate. she subsequently developed no significant congestive heart failure, and she had no further embolic phenomena following the septic embolus sheath to her right kidney. given her bilateral pleural effusions and mitral regurgitation, the patient was transiently on furosemide during this hospitalization, but had no signs or symptoms of congestive heart failure at the time of her discharge from the hospital. 3. rheumatology: as noted above, the patient initially developed a left ankle reactive arthritis on hospital day six. given the asymmetric edema in her left ankle, a rheumatology consult was obtained. the rheumatology service agreed that the swelling in her left ankle was reactive arthritis. the patient subsequently developed left hand swelling later in her hospitalization, at which point the rheumatology service was reconsulted. they again felt that the swelling in the patient's left hand was due to a reactive arthritis that would be best managed with supportive care. she was started on a 14 day course of naproxen for treatment of the inflammation and swelling in her hand. by the time of discharge, the patient's swelling in both her left hand and her left ankle had improved dramatically, and were nearly at their baseline. 4. hematology: soonafter admission, the patient manifested a significant anemia with a hematocrit in the low 20s. the etiology of this anemia was ultimately thought to be multifactorial due to a combination of anemia of chronic disease, recurrent phlebotomy, menstruation, and oxacillin induced myelosuppression. there was no evidence of hemolysis either by laboratory evaluation or by direct evaluation of the peripheral smear. given that the patient's hematocrit was low, she was started on iron supplementation during this hospitalization. at the time of discharge, however, the patient's hematocrit had been consistently stable for over one week, and the decision was made to continue her on oxacillin for the time being with twice weekly hematocrits following her discharge from the hospital. 5. psychiatry: by hospital day eight, the patient began threatening to leave the hospital against medical advice due to inadequate pain control. given the concern for the patient possibly leaving the hospital against medical advice without plans for continued intravenous antibiotics, a psychiatry consult was requested. the psychiatry service felt that the patient had poor coping mechanisms given the severity of her illness, and recommended initiation of an atypical antipsychotic. in addition, they recommended analgesia as necessary, including with narcotic medications if necessary, in order to adequately control the patient's pain. the patient was subsequently started on an atypical antipsychotic, and her narcotic medication dosing regimen was increased, with excellent therapeutic affect. discharge condition: good. discharge placement: hospital. discharge diagnoses: 1.

history of present illness: patient is a 25-year-old male pedestrian struck by a car while walking across the street and thrown 10 feet. he was found unresponsive at the scene with a gcs of 8. he became combative in the ambulance and was taken to . he was hemodynamically stable. at , the patient was found to have a subarachnoid hemorrhage on head ct along with a large skull fracture. he was seen by neurosurgery at but his family requested transfer to . at the outside hospital, the patient received 2 mg of ativan and mannitol and a question of dilantin for his head injury. on arrival, the patient was hemodynamically stable with a gcs of 14, slightly agitated, but stable. past medical history: none. past surgical history: none. medications: none. allergies: none. social history: weekend use of alcohol. physical examination: vital signs: gcs 14. alert and oriented times one. vitals: temperature 97.2. heart rate 100. blood pressure 161/90. respiratory rate 14. oxygen saturation 100% on four liters. physical examination: pupils equal, round and reactive to light. extraocular movements intact. face was stable. tms were clear. neck: trachea was midline with no crepitus. mandible was stable. his heart was regular rate and rhythm. chest was clear to auscultation bilaterally with no crepitus. abdomen was soft, nontender, nondistended and his fast exam was negative. rectal was normal tone, no gross blood, guaiac was negative. extremities without deformities. patient was moving all four extremities. his strength was equal throughout, as well as his sensation and nonfocal neurological exam. there was a small laceration noted on the right occipital area of his head. laboratories: patient had a normal hematocrit of 45.0. he also had normal coagulations with a pt of 13, ptt of 23 and inr of 1.2. laboratories were also notable for an alcohol level of 112 and a toxicology screen that was positive for opiates and cocaine. radiology: chest x-ray and pelvis x-ray were negative. ct of the abdomen was negative. ct of the c spine was negative for fracture. plain films of the tls spine were also negative for fracture and stability. ct of the head showed orbital frontal contusions with subarachnoid hemorrhage. there was extra-atrial blood noted with a question of left epidural versus subdural hemorrhage and there was a large associated parasagittal skull fracture running along the midline of the cranium into the left orbital area. hospital course: the patient was admitted to the trauma surgical intensive care unit for q. 1 hour neurological checks, as well as for intravenous fluids. the patient was protecting his own airway, so intubation was not of concern. the patient had an immediate consultation from neurosurgery who recommended that operative management would not be necessary that it was sufficient to continue with the q. 1 hour neurological checks, as well as following the coags every 4 hours, as well as to try to limit the amount of sedation in order to not cloud the examination of medical status. the patient continued to remain agitative through the first three hospital days requiring occasional use of benzodiazepines and narcotics to relieve pain and agitation. on hospital day number two, he received a repeat head ct, which again demonstrated the parasagittal fracture, as well as slight increase in the size of a frontal epidural hemorrhage now with a right sided component. while in the trauma surgical intensive care unit, the patient was also started on dilantin for seizure prophylaxis, as well as on oxacillin for infectious prophylaxis of the open head wound. on hospital day number four, the patient's mental status had improved enough, to where his agitation had decreased slightly allowing him to be transferred from the trauma intensive care unit to the floor still under a 1:1 sitter due to occasional agitation. a neurobehavioral consult was obtained and per the recommendations of the neurobehavioral consult, the patient was removed from all sedating medications aside from occasional percocets for pain control and instead was added seroquel 25 q.p.m., as well as trazodone 25 q.p.m. to repeat times one for helping the patient sleep at night. on hospital day number five, the patient was slightly decreased in agitation in the morning, although, still getting up out of bed and walking, even with a 1:1 sitter, however, he continued to improve throughout the day clearing his mental status, becoming alert and oriented times three and becoming more aware of his surroundings. in an attempt to try to regulate his sleep cycles and decrease the morning agitation, the trazodone was discontinued, but the seroquel was continued. the morning of hospital day number six, the patient showed a marked decrease in his agitation in the morning, showing greater incite into his situation, not getting out of bed on his own and being fully alert and oriented. also, on hospital day number six, occupational therapy and physical therapy, as well as social work were consulted. occupational therapy and physical therapy had helped the patient work with his cognitive and functional deficits, principally, his gait, which was still mostly ataxic six days following his head injury. social work was consulted primarily for providing references for substance abuse programs to deal with the patient's noted alcohol abuse. the patient continued to deny any us of opiates or cocaine, although, did not remember if he had taken any substances the night the injury was sustained, so the patient was referred to substance abuse clinics for further follow-up for this. on hospital day number six, it was determined that the patient would be eligible for rehabilitation inpatient therapy, so that several facilities were contact and one facility determined that the patient would be suitable for a rehabilitation stay there. the patient was stable enough for discharge to the rehabilitation facility under constant 1:1 supervision to decrease any fall risk. thus, the patient was discharged to a neurological rehabilitation facility on hospital day number six. final discharge diagnoses: 1. pedestrian struck by car. 2. parasagittal skull fracture. 3. frontal lobe contusions. 4. bilateral epidural hemorrhages with result in cognitive and functional disabilities. 5. substance abuse. post discharge medications: 1. dulcolax 5 mg 2 tablets q.d. as needed for constipation. 2. tylenol 650 mg q. 4-6 hours as needed for pain. 3. hydromorphone 10 mg, 1-2 tablets every 4 hours as needed for pain. 4. seroquel 25 mg, 1 tablet q.p.m. times four weeks. 5. dicloxacillin 500 mg, 1 capsule po q. 6 hours times eight days. follow-up: 1. the patient will be followed up at the rehabilitation facility by a physician to take out the staples and evaluate the head wound in seven to ten days. 2. neurosurgery follow-up in three weeks with dr. with a repeat ct prior to the appointment. 3. trauma clinic in two weeks. 4. neurobehavioral follow-up with dr. in one month. 5. alcohol and other substance abuse. patient was provided referrals for follow-up at each of these places. , m.d. dictated by:

after admission, the patient was prepared for discharge to a with hiv specialty floor, when she complained of new onset sob, rr 30s-40s x hours, and eventual hypoxia. abg revealed lactic acidosis with lactate of 16 and ph of 7.19. fs at that time was 24. this was all believed to be lactic acidosis caused by hiv meds (zidovudine) interfering with mitochrondrial function. she recieved 1 amp nahco3, 1 amp d50 and 500 cc ns bolus. . she was transferred to the icu, where she required cvvh for lactic acidosis and d10 for hypoglycemia. she developed multi-system organ failure, including liver failure, increased oliguria, pancreatitis, and hemolysis. she responded well to cvvh and after family meeting cvvh was discontinued and decision was made not to restart dialysis of any sort even if her lactic acidosis were to recur. she was treated with aztreonam and vanco by levels for bilateral pneumonia. the patient expressed an interest in going to hospice. a palliative care consult was ordered and pt was transferred to floor. . the patient's 13 year old daughter is not aware of her mother's hiv status and the patient has not been forthcoming about her current prognosis. a family meeting with the patient, drs. and social worker , the patient's daughter , her daughter's cousin, and ms. sister-in-law. at this meeting the family was updated on the patient's generally poor prognosis. the pt decided that she would like to go to hospice, and understood the goals of hospice. the pt was seen by palliative care and she was placed in a hospice of her choice. the pt stated she would like to complete the course of po antibiotics which were started in the micu. her central line was pulled, uneventfully, on the day of discharge. the patient was discharged on cefpodoxime and azithromycin for 4 days to complete her course of antibiotics for pneumonia. the pt will be continued on her digoxin for heart failure, ipratropium nebulizer for shortness of breath, bactrim for pcp prophylaxis, for hyperphosphatemia secondary to renal failure and lasix for shortness of breath and painful lower extremity edema. . the pt reported that she will inform her family of the tranfer to the hospice facility. her brother was present for this conversation. medications on admission: (unclear which meds pt was taking for the 2 days between discharge from hospital and this admission but she reports

treated empirically for community-acquired pneumonia (with 10 days of levaquin), mac (with clarithromycin and ethambutol), and pcp (with atovaquone originally, then clindamycin and primaquine due to nausea and vomiting associated with the atovaquone). id was consulted and helped guide her management throughout her hospital course. she was hypothermic and hypotensive on admission, which raised concerns for sepsis, but her bp responded to fluid boluses and her temperature came up slightly. induced sputum x3 was sent and were negative for pcp, afb culture came back positive for afb on (afb smears were negative x3). identification of the organism is still pending, but after confirming this with id, it was felt that this was most likely mac and the patient was being adequately treated with her current azithromycin dose (1200mg po 1x/week). . # hiv: ms. was not taking her haart medications or her prophylaxis upon admission, so her haart regimen was suspended until her acute pneumonia was treated and a discussion could be had between the patient and her pcp. team was concerned that many of her comorbidities, principally her cardiomyopathy and her renal failure, were related to her hiv and would only improve or remain stable with the administration of haart. dr. met with ms. on 11r and it was decided to restart antiretrovirals, with a 5 drug salvage regimen which id recommended based on her resistance profile. they also helped make recommendations for her prophylaxis, so her ethambutol and clarithromycin were changed to azithromycin 1x/week and her clindamycin and primaquine were changed to bactrim. she refused to take atovaquone because of nausea and vomiting. because of her history of a bactrim allergy, she was brought to the for bactrim desensitization. once she had begun prophylaxis and tolerated the regimen well, she was restarted on a haart regimen which included zidovudine, tipranavir, ritonavir, tenofovir, and lamivudine. she tolerated that regimen well with no change in her symptoms (diarrhea, abd pain were unchanged) and she was discharged on this regimen. prior to discharge, social work contact of the / aids cares network at () to set up outpatient services for ms. . . # cardiomyopathy: ms. was tachycardic and hypotensive in the er, with sbps in the 60s. a bnp was checked in the er and was 32,538. her sbp responded well to fluid boluses and came up to the 90s. her tachycardia persisted, however, ekgs showed it was a sinus tachycardia. on the floor, she was monitored on telemetry and she developed a hr of 170s overnight. she was given po and iv diltiazem which dropped her sbp and her hr to the 70s. she was asymptomatic during this episode, but was transferred to the for closer monitoring. an echo showed that her ef was < or =20% and she had severely depressed left ventricular systolic function and mild global right ventricular free wall hypokinesis. her sbp came back up to the 90s in the and she was felt to be hemodynamically stable, so she was transferred out the floor. her volume status remained difficult to assess as she appeared to be both total body overloaded (was grossly edematous, with bilateral le edema) and intravascularly dry (no appreciable jvd, hypotensive, tachycardic, with acute on chronic renal failure and oliguria). renal was consulted and after analyzing her urine sediment, felt that her picture was most consistent with prerenal azotemia (on top of underlying hiv nephropathy) and recommended ivf to correct her prerenal state. she was given multiple liters of ivf with minimal improvement in her uop, bp and tachycardia. she become more volume overloaded so she was given transfusions of prbc (as her hct was also in the low to mid 20s), again with minimal improvement. her cr remained elevated and her uop remained poor. she was tested for adrenal insufficiency given her persistently low bp, but she was not adrenally insufficient by cosyntropin stimulation test. a repeat echo was performed which again showed an ef of < or = 20%, dilated left and right ventricles, and moderate-severe global hypokinesis bilaterally. there was no tamponade physiology. cardiology was informally consulted to see if there would be utility to placing a line to measure cvp and then perhaps diuresing her (likely with the addition of a pressor), but it was felt that less invasive measures would be best in this patient. she was restarted on digoxin (no loading dose) and tolerated it well. her digoxin level prior to discharge was still subtherapeutic, but because of her renal function, it was decided to keep her on this dose and recheck a dig level as an outpatient. she was given metoprolol 12.5mg po x1 to attempt to slow down her hr, but dropped her sbp to the 70s. her bp responded to ivf boluses, but it was decided to not try any further medications that could potentially drop her bp. she was not able to be started on lasix, an ace or spironolactone for this reason. she was monitored on telemetry after starting the digoxin and had one run of nsvt (13 beats). . # arf: on admission, her cr was 2.8 which appeared to be an acute on chronic renal failure. her urine lytes were consistent with prerenal physiology and she was hydrated with ivf but with only minimal improvement in her uop. she maintained uop of 15cc/hr for most of her hospital stay. based on her urine studies, it was felt that she was prerenal and needed ivf. she was also given bicitra to attempt to correct the acidosis that was developing from her renal failure. however, the more ivf we gave, the more she seemed to third space and she developed anasarca and lower extremity edema which was very troublesome to her. her bp was so low that we were never able to safely give lasix to see if her uop and edema would improve. with administration of digoxin, her cr began to improve and came back down to her baseline of 2.1 by the time of discharge. she still had significant proteinuria (spot prot/cr of 5510, dipstick protein of 500) which was attributed to hiv nephropathy. her haart regimen was dosed according to her discharge cr, so her cr will have to be monitored closely as an outpatient and her medications will need to be adjusted according to her crcl. . # abdominal pain/diarrhea: her abdominal pain became a more prominent symptom once she developed anasarca. multiple stool studies were sent as she had frequent diarrhea, but all cultures, including o+p and cdiff, were negative. a ct scan of her abdomen showed a question of typhlitis. kub were negative for free air or for obstruction/toxic megacolon. ms. abdominal pain seemed to wax and wane, but became less severe once she began to autodiurese and her bloating and abdominal distension resolved. her greater concern was diarrhea. she felt that each time she stood up, she had to have a bowel movement and sometimes she would be incontinent because she could not control the urge to defecate. all stool studies were negative, including cdiff toxin b. she was given loperamide to help improve her diarrhea, which worked with some success. she was given a prescription for this upon discharge, with instructions to follow up on this symptom with her id doctors as it could be related to her medications (possibly the azithromycin or maybe even her haart regimen). . # anemia: ms. is anemic, with her baseline hct in the mid 20s. she is asymptomatic from her anemia, but was given several transfusions during her hospital stay in an attempt to increase her bp and intravascular volume without causing third spacing. however, her bp was minimally responsive to transfusions so they were held unless she became symptomatic. stools were guaiac negative. labs were most consistent with an anemia of chronic disease. on discharge, her hct was 24.5. . # fen: ivf were given originally, but had to be held due to anasarca. her electrolytes were checked daily and were repleted as necessary. her k and hco3 were often low and needed repletion. her na also trended down, and she was briefly put on a 1.5l/day fluid restriction to help bring her na back to normal. she was given a regular, low salt, heart healthy diet. she was continued on megace, though she frequently refused this medication. . # ppx: ms. was given heparin sc for dvt prophylaxis, but she soon developed thrombocytopenia and it had to be stopped. hit antibodies were never sent. she was then given stockings and pneumoboots for dvt prophylaxis. she was given a bowel regimen originally, but by the end of her stay, she was having frequent diarrhea and no stool softeners were needed. she was also given a ppi for gi ppx. . # access: she had a peripheral line originally, then a picc line was placed in her l arm due to poor iv access. the picc line worked well for her throughout her admission, without any evidence of infection or cellulitis. . # code: full. a discussion was had with the patient about her code status and the patient did not seem to understand what it meant to code someone or what it would mean for her as the patient. it was decided, however, that she would be cpr not indicated in case an event were to occur. . # dispo: to home with services. medications on admission: emtriva 200mg daily ethambutol 800mg daily (pt states not taking) famvir 250mg daily (pt states not taking) lisinoprol 10mg daily

service: ccu/medicine history of the present illness: mr. is a 45-year-old gentleman with a past medical history of hypercholesterolemia and hypertriglyceridemia and gout who was in his usual state of health until 2:00 a.m. on the day of admission. at that time, the patient was awakened by associated with diaphoresis. the pain resolved spontaneously after ten minutes but then recurred 20 minutes later, in intensity and again associated with diaphoresis. it was also associated this time with dizziness and the pain was radiating into his sternal area. there was no associated shortness of breath, nausea, vomiting, or palpitations. the emergency department by his wife who is a nurse practitioner. he was taken via ambulance. his pain at that time was after two sublingual nitroglycerin. at the outside hospital, the patient was found to have st depressions in leads ii, iii, and avf and he was hypertensive with a blood pressure of 200/110. he was given sublingual nitroglycerin, heparin drip, and beta blocked and subsequently experienced a witnessed v-fib arrest and required shocking with 200 joules. he returned to sinus bradycardia and then a normal sinus rhythm. he was started on a lidocaine drip and then transferred to the cath lab for persistent discomfort/chest pain. at cardiac catheterization, the patient had the following hemodynamics. cardiac output was 5.24 with a cardiac index of 2.48. the pulmonary capillary wedge pressure was elevated at 26 and his right atrial pressure was 13. on angiography he had a left dominant system with luminal irregularities in the lad, 30% stenosis of the left circumflex, and the patient's ramus was completely occluded. the ramus was angio-jetted and then stented with restoration of timi-iii flow. the patient was then transferred to the ccu. on review of systems in the ccu, the patient denied chest pain, shortness of breath. on review of systems, he states that he was noticing minimal bilateral lower extremity edema prior to admission but denied dyspnea on exertion, orthopnea, pnd, or palpitations. physical examination in the ccu: vitals: temperature 98, blood pressure 127/56, pulse 82, saturation 96% on 2 liters nasal cannula. the patient had a swan-ganz catheter in place. in general, the patient was lying in bed in no apparent distress. he was speaking in full sentences. heent: the pupils were equal, reactive, and round to light and accommodation. the oropharynx was clear and dry. he was anicteric. the neck was supple. no bruits. jvp could not be adequately assessed. his lungs were clear to auscultation anteriorly and laterally. his abdominal examination revealed a soft abdomen, nontender, nondistended, no masses. arterial and venous sheaths were in place in the right groin without hematoma or ooze. his pulses were full times four, warm and well perfuse. the neurological examination was grossly intact. laboratory data and other studies: the patient's ekg in the ccu was normal sinus at 93, axis within normal limits, intervals within normal limits. his ekg showed right atrial enlargement and t wave flattening in leads f and avl. he had a hematocrit of 39.7, white count 15.7, hemoglobin 13.3, platelet count 271,000. chemistries revealed a sodium of 138, potassium 4.4, chloride 101, bicarbonate 25, bun 19, creatinine 1.1, glucose 124. his magnesium was 1.5. his first ck was 1506 with an mb of 232. prior cks at the outside hospital included a ck of 169 with an mb of 2.2 and a troponin of 0.15. chest x-ray at the outside hospital showed clear lung fields and no cardiomegaly. past medical history: 1. gout. 2. hypertriglyceridemia and hypercholesterolemia; at last check total cholesterol 278 with a triglyceride level of 1,000. past surgical history: bilateral knee menisci repair. medications at home: 1. lipitor 20 q.d. 2. tums p.r.n. 3. indocin p.r.n. for gout. allergies: the patient has no known drug allergies. social history: the patient works in it for . he is married and lives with his wife and son. is a nonsmoker. he does not use intravenous drugs. he drinks 6-12 beers per week. family history: 1. mother with mi at age 42. 2. father with cva at age 68. the patient's father also suffered from gout. hospital course: 1. cardiac: from a cardiac standpoint, the patient is status post his first mi which was in the ramus distribution. he also had symptoms of chf with elevated wedge pressures and left-sided pressures. the patient was placed on metoprolol, captopril, and was given lasix 20 mg iv times one to mobilize the fluid from his elevated pulmonary capillary wedge pressure. the patient was also placed on aspirin 325 mg p.o. q.d. status post stenting of the ramus, he was placed on plavix 75 q.d. which to be continued for nine months status post stenting. the patient's ck peaked at 1,711 on the evening of and then on his ck was 1380, on , the day of discharge, his ck had fallen to 409. the patient's cholesterol panel came back with a total cholesterol of 209, hdl 42, calculated ldl of 90 and a triglyceride level of 386 with a cholesterol to hdl ratio of 5. realizing that these levels are not accurate during an acute event, the patient was continued on his outpatient regimen of lipitor 20 q.d. and was told to follow-up with his outpatient cardiologist for remeasurement of the cholesterol panel and appropriate adjustment of his lipitor dosage. the patient's lfts were also checked on as he was being continued on a statin. his alt was slightly elevated at 73. his ast was essentially within normal limits at 48, alkaline phosphatase and total bilirubin were normal at 94 and 0.7 respectively. the patient was old to follow-up with his primary cardiologist regarding appropriate dosage of the statin. rhythm: from a rhythm standpoint, the patient was status post v-fib arrest in the setting of an mi. he was placed on telemetry and monitored closely for recurrent episodes of v-tach. he had one episode on of a 14-beat run of v-tach that was asymptomatic. his electrolytes were within normal limits including his magnesium which had been repleted and was 2.2 at the time of the arrhythmia. the patient was kept on telemetry through and had no recurrent episodes of v-tach or nonsustained v-tach or pvcs for that matter. the patient had an echocardiogram to help risk stratify him. his echocardiogram showed a normal ef of 55%. the left atrium had a normal size. the left ventricle had normal wall thickness. cavity size and systolic function was within normal limits with no noted wall motion abnormalities. his right atrium was normal size as well as his right ventricle. his valves were all stated to be structurally normal. he had mild mitral annular calcification with trivial mr. it was felt that the patient would not require an ep study with this normal ef and with no recurrence of the ventricular arrhythmia. the patient had originally been on a lidocaine drip and this was discontinued 24 hours after his event. pump function: as stated, above this was completely normal on his echocardiogram with an ef of 55%. cardiac follow-up: the patient was to see his primary care physician few days after discharge, dr. , at . his primary care physician will refer him to a cardiologist at . of note, the patient's wife is a nurse practitioner and is very involved in the patient's care. she has already arranged for the patient to follow-up in cardiac rehabilitation at . the patient was advised to take a week off from work and attend cardiac rehabilitation. he was seen by physical therapy during his stay and was able to walk two flight of stairs without chest pain or shortness of breath. 2. rheumatology: the patient has a history of gout and did have a gouty flare of the arch of his right foot on the evening of . he was initially given percocet for pain management as it was felt that indocin should be avoided in the setting of acute mi. however, with the patient's normal ef and absence of ventricular scarring, his risks for wall rupture was extremely low. therefore, the patient was told that he could have a trial of colchicine and if this did not work he could resume his outpatient medication of indocin. he was started on colchicine on the day of discharge, given a trial dose of 0.5 mg p.o. and would be discharged on the following medications. discharge medications: 1. lisinopril 5 mg q.d. 2. atenolol 25 mg q.d. 3. atorvostatin 20 mg q.h.s. 4. aspirin 325 mg q.d. 5. plavix 75 mg q.d. 6. colchicine 0.5 to 1 mg q.i.d. for a maximum of 8 mg q.d., titrate to pain relief or development of side effects, nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea. these instructions were gone over thoroughly with the patient. disposition: the patient was discharged to home with his wife. , m.d. dictated by: medquist36 d: 12:16 t:

history of present illness: this is a 48-year-old hiv positive african-american male with a history of polysubstance abuse, hepatitis c, cirrhosis and hypertension who was admitted to hospital on , for detox following a recent binge using crack cocaine (about one gram per day), alcohol (one pint of wine per day) and xanax and klonopin while on methadone maintenance. on , he was noted to have fluctuating mental status (somnolence, disorientation) and after being found down beside his bed confused, with a bloody nose and a blood pressure of 170/130, he was presumed to have had a seizure. he was given 1 mg of ativan and was brought to the emergency department. following a negative head ct, no further seizures and stable vital signs, the patient was discharged back to bornwood on an ativan taper. on , the patient was reported to be lethargic and ataxic, with a blood pressure of 150/100. emt brought the patient back to emergency department, where his vital signs included a blood pressure of 190/90, pulse of 88 and a respiratory rate of 4, satting 94% on room air. the patient was barely responsive to sternal rub, with constricted pupils and was started on narcan, receiving a dose of 0.06 mg/hour with good effect. he was admitted to the micu in the early a.m. on . it was difficult to obtain additional history from the patient at this time. subsequently it was learned that the patient received some oxycontin 40 mg from a friend while at detox, and remembers taking it prior to admission to the hospital, although he is unclear as to what day he took it. past medical history: 1. hiv positive since . a cd4 count of 78 with an undetectable viral load was noted in as per the patient's primary care physician, . . the patient has a history of thrush as per previous dictation summaries. there is a question of a history of pcp in the past. the patient was on haart, but this was discontinued in the fall of last year because of decompensating liver disease in the setting of hepatitis c. 2. multisubstance abuse including intravenous drug abuse. the patient has a long-standing history of multisubstance abuse going back 25 years that includes intravenous heroin and cocaine abuse, benzodiazepine use including xanax and klonopin, and ethanol. the patient has been in and out of rehabilitation facilities in the past, stays on long term methadone maintenance. while the patient does admit to recent use of cocaine, ethanol, and benzodiazepines, he denies use of heroin for several months, stating that he does not crave heroin while he is on methadone. 3. hepatitis c positive. the patient has active hepatitis c disease with a high viral load and is not a candidate for therapy at this time considering his current treatment for depression. his albumin has been as low as 2.5 in the past but has improved since holding haart therapy. he has no history of ascites or gastrointestinal bleed. the patient falls between child class b and c cirrhosis. 4. pan cytopenia likely secondary to hiv and ethanol abuse. 5. hypertension. 6. depression. 7. history of tuberculosis exposure. 8. history of bacterial endocarditis, staph positive in the past ( and hospitalizations). 9. history of sternoclavicular septic arthritis in . 10. status post motor vehicle accident with head trauma. 11. bilateral leg pain and numbness secondary to peripheral neuropathy.

3. ativan 1 mg t.i.d. taper. 4. thiamine. 5. folate. 6. clonidine 0.2 t.i.d. p.r.n. 7. motrin 400 mg q. 4h. p.r.n. 8. mylanta 30 cc q. 4h. p.r.n. 9. ativan 1 mg p.o. q. 4h. p.r.n. social history: the patient lives with his wife in and has five children and several grandchildren. he is retired since after working for american airlines as a ramp worker. he now lives on ssi with mass health and veterans benefits that cover his medications. as previously mentioned, he has an extensive history of intravenous drug abuse that includes intravenous heroin and cocaine abuse that extends back for decades. his recent binge was attributed to increased depression of recent time because of his inability to stay clean, his cirrhosis and chronic illnesses, a recent fight with his wife, multiple deaths in the family, and an upcoming court date next week for a dui that he was arrested for in of this year. the patient has a one pack per day smoking history and, while he denies extensive abuse of alcohol, he does admit to recently drinking one pint or one bottle of wine per day. allergies: the patient has allergy to bactrim that causes him to have a rash. the patient has an allergy to nafcillin which has also given him exfoliative dermatitis of the palms and soles in the past. family history: the patient's mother is healthy at age 83. the patient's father is 82 years old, suffering from diabetes mellitus. the patient has two sisters who have died of cancer, one at the age of 58 and one who passed away in her 20's. there is no family history of substance abuse. there is a question of a history of depression in the patient's mother. review of systems: at admission the patient denied complaints of headache, chest pain, shortness of breath, nausea, vomiting, fevers or chills. he had no complaints of diarrhea, constipation or abdominal pain at the time. no dysuria or increased urinary frequency. physical examination at presentation: on physical examination at presentation to the intensive care unit floor the patient had the following vital signs: he was afebrile with a heart rate of 75, blood pressure of 139/101, a respiratory rate of 18 and he was saturating 100% on room air. general appearance: the patient was very somnolent, but responsive to questions and without tremulousness. on examination of the head, eyes, ears, nose and throat, the patient was normocephalic, atraumatic. mucus membranes were dry. pupils were 4 mm and reactive to light bilaterally. the patient's neck was supple without lymphadenopathy. on pulmonary examination the lungs were clear to auscultation bilaterally without wheezes or crackles. on cardiovascular examination, there was a normal rate and rhythm with normal s1, s2. a systolic murmur was appreciated at the apex. on abdominal examination normal bowel sounds were present. the abdomen was soft, non-tender and non-distended. the extremities were without edema or cyanosis. on neurological examination, the patient was alert and oriented times three. cranial nerves ii through xii were intact. no focal motor deficits were appreciated. pertinent laboratory data on presentation: the patient had the following laboratories on admission: a complete blood count revealed a white blood cell count of 1.9 with an anc of 700, hematocrit of 32.5 and a platelet count of 53,000. chem-7 (hemolyzed) showed a sodium of 137, potassium of 4.8, chloride of 103, bicarbonate of 31, bun of 13, creatinine of 0.8 and a glucose of 118. a serum tox screen for aspirin, ethanol, acetaminophen, benzodiazepines, barbiturates, tca was negative. radiology/studies at admission: 1. electrocardiogram: sinus rhythm, with left ventricular hypertrophy and left atrial abnormality. nonspecific st changes were observed. q2 prolongation that is new on this ekg was observed compared with previous ekg. 2. chest x-ray: mild to moderate cardiac enlargement with prominent left ventricle contour. wide thoracic aorta. no evidence of pulmonary congestion or infiltrates. 3. head ct: head ct from emergency department visit showed mild focal dilatation, with a normal ventricular system. no midline shift, mass, mass effect, hemorrhage was observed. chronic paranasal sinus disease was noted. impression at admission: this is a 45-year-old african-american male with a history of polysubstance abuse, hiv and hepatitis c who came to the emergency department with stuporous mental status changes from detox facility. this was felt to be most likely from an opiate overdose, as the patient appeared to respond to narcan while in the emergency department. infection as a possible etiology for mental status changes could not be completely ruled out in this hiv positive patient with his last cd4 count of 78. however, the patient does recall taking an extra 40 mg of oxycontin prior to admission on top of his maintenance methadone dose of 55 mg per day and benzodiazepine taper that he had been started on after his emergency department visit, making overdose more likely. hospital course in the intensive care unit: . neurological: patient's mental status changes which included increased lethargy to stuporousness, pinpoint pupils and decreased respiratory rate in the setting of methadone, benzodiazepine and opiate use make opiate overdose the most likely cause of this patient's presentation. the patient showed good response to naloxone throughout his stay in the intensive care unit which was continued as a drip until , with dramatic improvement in the patient's state of alertness. other causes for his change in mental status included withdrawal from benzodiazepines and alcohol, electrolyte abnormalities, infection, intracranial processes, as well as renal hepatic disease. for that reason, electrolytes were followed, calcium, magnesium, phosphate levels were sent. an lp was also performed. the patient was pan cultured, including cultures for blood, urine and cerebrospinal fluid. because of the patient's history of alcohol and benzodiazepine use with the last alcohol use likely on , there was a possibility of withdrawal in this patient, so a ciwa protocol with diazepam q. 4h. for a score greater than 10. clonidine p.r.n. was also continued for the possibility of developing opiate withdrawal. in this patient with depression, his prozac was held while he was in the intensive care unit. a neurology consult felt that the seizure on , was most likely secondary to a combination of withdrawal from both alcohol and benzodiazepines. as recent cocaine was evident in the urine tox screen, there was some concern of a cerebral infarct, but a negative ct and nonfocal neuro examination made this less likely. liver function tests and ammonia were also sent in this patient with a history of hepatitis c. patient's laboratory values while in the intensive care unit on , included a calcium of 8.0, magnesium of 1.4 and a phosphate of 3.1. the patient's pt was 13.7, inr was 1.2 and ptt was 37.7. the patient had an elevated ast of 101, an alt of 52, an alkaline phosphatase of 129, and a total bilirubin of 0.8. his albumin was 2.7 and was repeated that same day and found to be 3.1. amylase was 98 and lipase was 63. the patient had an ammonia elevated to 95 with no history of previous baseline ammonia recorded in the past. a urine tox screen was positive for cocaine and methadone and negative for benzodiazepines. an lp was performed on , which showed 0 white blood cells, 6 red blood cells, a protein of 37, and a glucose of 57. the gram stain was negative for pmns, no microorganisms were seen. cryptococcal antigen was not detected, and fluid, acid fast, viral, and fungal cultures were sent. 2. infectious disease: this patient is hiv positive and hepatitis c positive, and it is possible that infection could also be an underlying cause of his mental status changes. as mentioned he was pan cultured, including blood, urine, csf and stool cultures. tests for cd4 count and viral load were sent. the patient reported that he has not been on retrovirals since the fall of last year. liver function tests were ordered to follow up the status of his cirrhosis, and were elevated as previously mentioned in this dictation. throughout the patient's duration in the intensive care unit, he did not complain of fevers, shortness of breath or productive cough, dysuria, or other complaints suggestive of infectious process. 3. pulmonary: the patient's respiratory rate improved on narcan drip while in the intensive care unit and there was no need to intubate. 4. cardiac: the patient has a history of hypertension and has used beta blockers in the past. he has not been on his hypertensive medication during the past several days while at detox. his pressures remained elevated while in the intensive care unit. in the evening of , he was hypertensive to 206 and was given a dose of hydralazine for control of his pressure. subsequently, lisinopril 5 mg q. day and hydrochlorothiazide 25 mg q. day were begun to better control his pressure. the patient's ekg showed an increased qt prolongation from prior ekg, in the setting of a potassium of 3.4 upon repeat chem-7 on . it was unclear that any of the other medicines that the patient were taking should be associated with causing this qt prolongation. the patient's potassium was repleted. 5. hematology. the patient's pan cytopenia was noted on cbc. this was stable throughout his stay in the intensive care unit. 6. renal/fluids, electrolytes and nutrition. the patient was given maintenance fluids of one-half normal saline 100 cc per hour. these were maintained until the patient's mental status improved. he began tolerating p.o.'s on . because of the patient's elevated ammonia, he was placed on a low protein diet once he was able to tolerate p.o.'s. electrolytes were followed daily and were repleted as necessary, with potassium and magnesium requiring repletion. the patient was placed on thiamine, folate and a multivitamin considering the patient's history of alcohol abuse. 7. gastrointestinal: the patient has a history of cirrhosis in the setting of haart use that was discontinued in with a history of ethanol abuse. he has had elevated transaminases, pt and albumin of 3.1 and elevated ammonia. lactulose was started at 30 cc t.i.d., titrated to less than two stools per day to treat the elevated ammonia. hepatitis c serologies were not sent at this time and will likely be followed as an outpatient. 8. prophylaxis. the patient was placed on subcu heparin and pepcid iv q. day. summary of intensive care unit stay: the patient's mental status continued to improve on narcan drip which was weaned over 12 hours to a respiratory rate greater than 11. cultures remained negative during the icu stay. the patient was able to tolerate p.o.'s prior to transfer. vital signs were stable, although his blood pressures remained elevated prior to transfer. the patient was transferred to the service on . hospital course on the floor ( to ): 1. neurological: on arrival to the floor, the patient was breathing comfortably in no acute distress and was alert and oriented with some depressed mood. he did complain of some symptoms of nausea, chills, diaphoresis, aches and pains, diarrhea, that he thought were consistent with his typical withdrawal symptoms. he was continued on the ciwa protocol with p.r.n. diazepam, and clonidine was continued for his complaints of opiate withdrawal. his methadone was begun on the floor at a dose of 55 mg q. day. lactulose was also considered in light of his elevated ammonia, although encephalopathy appeared to be unlikely in this patient with no asterixis or additional changes in mental status. we continued to follow daily labs which showed a white blood cell count of 1.7, hematocrit of 32.6 and a platelet count of 47,000, with an anc of 740. electrolytes showed a sodium of 137, potassium 3.3, chloride 107, bicarbonate 22, bun 8, creatinine 0.5 and glucose 98. calcium was 7.5, magnesium 1.8 and phosphate was 3.0. while the pt and inr were now normal, ptt remained slightly elevated at 39. the patient was offered a nicotine patch for his nicotine addiction which he declined. the patient's mental status continued to be stable during his stay on the floor, with no signs of overt anxiety, hallucinations, instability, but the patient was somewhat depressed and nervous, which he admitted was primarily due to his worry about personal stressors. his symptoms of opiate withdrawal were also negligible during his second and third days on the floor. prozac was restarted on his last day of admission for depression. it appeared that the patient had very few symptoms of ethanol withdrawal, however, his blood pressure did remain elevated throughout his stay but without tachycardia. the patient's symptoms of opiate withdrawal seemed to be well controlled on his methadone maintenance dose although the patient did receive one to two doses of benzodiazepine per day, and requested clonidine on his final day of admission p.r.n. however, the patient does admit that he feels better than he has in years physically but admits that it is psychological problems and depression that make him feel most concerned at this time. we had several discussions with the patient regarding the seriousness of this hospital admission and the risk of poor outcome if he continues such risky behaviors, as this overdose might have been life threatening. the patient is actually quite thoughtful and clearly depressed with his current health situation, living environment ("my neighborhood is full of drugs"), and life stressors (several deaths in the recent past in his family). 2. infectious disease. the patient's cd4 count was found to be 48 during this admission and his viral load is still pending. the patient remained afebrile throughout his admission, without complaints of fever, productive cough, dysuria, abdominal pain, or other clinical signs concerning for infection. blood, stool and cerebrospinal fluid cultures have been negative to date. prophylaxis was begun for pcp with dapsone and fluconazole was also started in this patient with a history of thrush. however, fluconazole was discontinued prior to __________ as prophylaxis is not indicated routinely in hiv positive patients. as the patient's cd4 count is below 50, toxoplasmosis titers were also sent, and should be followed up for possible toxoplasmosis prophylaxis as well as prophylaxis as an outpatient. 3. cardiovascular. the patient's ekg was repeated on , and was found to be unchanged from admission ekg, with suddenly prolonged qt interval. potassium was also 3.2 on , and was repleted. the patient's blood pressure continued to be elevated throughout his stay on the floor, in the 150's to 180's over 90's to 100's. the dose of lisinopril was increased to 10 q. day, and it was decided prior to discharge to change the patient's blood pressure regimen to 10 mg lisinopril b.i.d., to discontinue the hydrochlorothiazide, and to begin norvasc 5 mg p.o. q. day. 4. pulmonary. the patient was breathing comfortably with normal respiratory rate and saturating well on room air throughout his stay on the floor. while the patient complained of some runny nose on transfer to the floor, he developed no other symptoms suggestive of a serious respiratory infection. this patient does have previous hospitalizations because of pneumonia with a question of pcp pneumonia in the past. 5. renal. the patient had normal creatinine throughout his hospital stay. his urinalysis was negative except for a negative urobilinogen in this patient with advanced liver disease. urine culture was positive for group b strep which was an endogenous organism not considered needing to be treated. 6. fluids, electrolytes and nutrition. the patient's lytes were followed and were repleted while he was on the floor. potassium remained slightly low throughout and was repleted with 40 meq of kcl during each of his stays on the floor and was increased to 60 meq on . he was maintained on a low protein diet in light of his elevated ammonia which was up to 148 on his day of discharge. he was continued on thiamine, folate and multivitamin and additional b12 and folate studies were sent and are still pending. he tolerated p.o. liquids and solids well throughout his stay on the floor. no complaints of nausea or vomiting. 7. gastrointestinal. in this patient with hepatitis c positive cirrhosis his albumin came back at 2.8 on . we continued to follow an ammonia which was 148 prior to discharge, and lactulose was poorly tolerated by the patient and was discontinued on his final day of admission. the patient was requesting therapy options for his liver disease and seemed most concern with this of his health issues. unfortunately, interferon therapy may be contraindicated in this patient on zoloft with clear symptoms of depression. as an outpatient it would be recommended that he receive vaccination such as hepatitis a in light of his liver disease. while this patient has no prior history of gastrointestinal bleed, we began imdur for gi prophylaxis, and it is recommended that he have an esophagogastroduodenoscopy as an outpatient. 8. hematology. the patient's pan cytopenia was stable while on the floor. the patient did complain of a nose bleed one morning in the setting of low platelet count that he described as robust, but which stopped easily and did not recur. in light of the patient's pan cytopenia which may be likely due to ethanol use, hiv, liver disease, it was thought that b12 and folate should also be checked. 9. prophylaxis. the patient remained on heparin subcu b.i.d. and ranitidine 150 mg p.o. b.i.d. throughout his stay on the floor. condition at discharge: the patient was in good condition at discharge. he was not complaining of symptoms of alcohol withdrawal, and was maintained on ciwa protocol greater than 8 during his last three days on the floor. methadone maintenance was restarted with good effect. he was primarily concerned with psychosocial issues of maintaining sobriety, a safe drug-free environment, his chronic health issues, family stressors, and tomorrow's pending court appearance. depression, for these reasons, is a concern in this patient who appears to have overdosed on narcotics leading to this admission. discharge status: the patient was discharged back to hospital, where he was first admitted last monday () to begin a detox program prior to this hospitalization. he wishes to return to bornwood to continue his detox in a safe environment where he can try to address his recurrent urges for polydrug abuse. hospital is located at in , . discharge medications: 1. thiamine 100 mg q. day. 2. folic acid 1 mg q. day. 3. multivitamin. 4. dapsone 100 mg q. day. 5. methadone 55 mg q. day. 6. fluoxetine 20 mg q. day. 7. _____ 10 mg b.i.d. 8. ativan 1 mg q. 4h. p.r.n. 9. clonidine 0.2 mg t.i.d. p.r.n. 10. potassium chloride 20 meq b.i.d. 11. norvasc 2.5 mg p.o. q. day. 12. magnesium oxide 400 mg p.o. q. day. 13. imdur 30 mg q. day. discharge instructions and follow up: 1. the patient was instructed to call his primary care physician, . , after discharge to set up a follow-up appointment in one week if he desired to continue having her involved in his care. 2. as the patient mentioned a desire to transfer his care from the v.a. hospital, as he has had some negative experiences there in the past, we have set up an appointment for him with dr. at associates, , for this thursday, , at 2:00 p.m., the building. at this appointment the patient will be able to follow up his pending laboratory studies which include pending cultures, his viral load, his toxoplasmosis cultures. also potassium and ammonia levels should be checked at this time. as the patient's blood pressures have been elevated during his hospital stay and his blood pressure control medications are still being optimized, his blood pressure should be checked during this visit and modification of his medical regimen should be considered. pending results of the toxoplasmosis titers, the patient should be considered for a toxo and prophylaxis, considering his cd4 count of 48. also consider a hepatitis a vaccine and confirm hepatitis b status in this patient. as this patient was noted to have a slightly prolonged qt interval on ekg, it would also be useful to recheck an ekg during this visit. while this patient has had no complaints of gastrointestinal bleed in the past, he should be sent for endoscopy to look for varices as an outpatient. the patient has also been requesting psychiatric and/or social work support as he has numerous psychosocial stressors and needs a support network to help him with his depression and with the numerous issues involving his drug abuse and health care problems. this patient should also be set up to be followed in the . 3. the patient was also scheduled to visit the pain clinic at this thursday with dr. on at 12:40 p.m. this visit is important in light of his chronic back pain and peripheral neuropathy, which the patient states have been a factor in his persistent drug use. 4. continue with methadone maintenance program as previous to admission. 5. consider contacting for acupuncture treatments as the patient has requested this therapy which has worked for him in the past. discharge diagnoses: 1. opioid and benzodiazepine intoxication. 2. polysubstance abuse. 3. hiv positive. 4. hepatitis c positive. 5. hypertension. 6. depression. , m.d. dictated by: medquist36 Procedure: Spinal tap Incision of lung Diagnoses: Cirrhosis of liver without mention of alcohol

history of present illness: this is a 44-year-old right-handed white female who presents with a history of seven to eight days with global headache and new onset of nausea with vomiting times one on the morning of admission on . she called her primary care physician and was seen and evaluated at the hospital with a workup including a head ct and magnetic resonance imaging scan positive for a 2.5-inch tumor in the left parietal region with moderate surrounding edema. the patient came to the emergency room at the at that time and was admitted overnight for further evaluation and was subsequently discharged home with 24 hours, and is now readmitted on for definitive surgical treatment of this lesion. she reports that in retrospect she has felt occasional vague weakness, and vague occasional dizziness, and "just not right" for the past three to five weeks. she also noted that it would take her longer to calculate and balance her checkbook or to do simple mathematics. she denies any visual changes or impairments to vision or hearing. she denies any weakness, numbness or paresthesias of the arms or legs. past medical history: (previous medical history includes) 1. a tubal ligation. 2. she is gravida 2, para 2 with both pregnancies completing normal spontaneous vaginal deliveries. medications on admission: she is on no current medications. allergies: reports an allergic

physical examination she was afebrile with stable vital signs, and oxygen saturation was 99% on room air. she was a well-developed, well-nourished white female in no acute distress. the examination of the head, ears, nose, eyes and throat, heart, lungs, and abdomen were essentially unremarkable. there was no clubbing, cyanosis or edema of the extremities. the neurologic examination showed the patient to be awake, alert, and conversant, and oriented times three with speech fluent and no dysnomia or paraphrasic errors. pupils were equal, round, and reactive to light and accommodation. extraocular movements were intact. visual fields were full to confrontation. the tongue was midline. the smile was equal. the face was symmetric, and there was no drift. strength showed full 5/5

plantar responses downgoing bilaterally. there was no ankle clonus, and finger-to-nose test was intact without any dysmetric movements. radiology/imaging: the ct from the outside hospital and the magnetic resonance imaging done at the confirmed the presence of a 4-cm x 5-cm irregular shaped enhancing lesion with central necrosis and surrounding edema located in the medial left posterior parietal area with some lateral deviation and compression of the posterior of the ventricle. hospital course: the impression was that of a 44-year-old right-handed white female with headaches times seven to eight days, and studies positive for a lesion in the posterior and medial parietal area, and she was therefore admitted on for craniotomy and excision of this lesion. she was taken to the operating room on the morning of admission where under general endotracheal anesthesia the patient underwent a left parietal craniotomy with resection of lesion. the patient tolerated the procedure well. the tumor specimen was given to the pathologist with frozen section showing a high-grade astrocytoma. the patient tolerated the procedure well and was taken to the postanesthesia care unit in stable condition. she spent the first night in the postanesthesia care unit with postoperative check showing the patient to be neurologically stable and was subsequently discharged to the hospital floor on the first postoperative day, and subsequently to that was noted to be ambulating with minimal discomfort and minimal headache. she was taking solid food and liquids by mouth without difficulty. her intake and output was considered quite adequate. then she was subsequently discharged to home with arrangements to be followed up in the brain clinic in approximately two weeks' time. condition at discharge: condition on discharge was stable and improved. discharge diagnoses: a left parietal brain tumor. medications on discharge: medications on discharge included decadron and zantac, and she was given a prescription for percocet for relief of mild headache. discharge followup: she was given an appointment for followup in the brain clinic in early with plans for probable radiotherapy to the tumor bed. , m.d. dictated by: medquist36 Procedure: Other operations on extraocular muscles and tendons Other excision or destruction of lesion or tissue of brain Diagnoses:

lung bases are nonspecific, possibly reflecting atelectasis though infection cannot be excluded. no pleural effusion or pneumothorax is visualized. there are no acute osseous abnormalities. impression: streaky bibasilar opacities, which could reflect atelectasis though infection cannot be completely excluded. brief hospital course: 76 yo male with hx of avr, cad s/p cabg, mds- pancyopenia, non-hodgkins lymphoma, and parkinson's who was relaeased from the hospital 2 months ago for a pneumonia who returns with a hcap and new a. fib w/ rvr. was treated in the icu and transferred to the floor to complete 10 day course of antibiotics. 1) hcap pneumonia/sepsis- pt initially sirs criteria, and presented with dry cough x2 weeks, new weakness, and his cxr was concerning for a new rll inflitate. with the pt's history of parkinson's disease, was at risk for aspiration due to dysphagia, and thus cause recurrent pneumonia. pt's fever curve improved with vancomycin, cefepime and azithromycin for a 10 day course (through ). blood cultures were negative. pt's dry cough did not improve with cough syrup, tessalon perles and nebulizer treatments and thus had an ent consult which found mild irritation of vocal cords most likely related to acid reflux or viral infection. laryngoscopy did not show vocal cord paralysis and structurally normal. cough mildly improved while on the floor, but still with significant cough at discharge. he was started on prednisone 40 mg po daily for a 4 day total course to end on . 2) new atrial fib w/ rvr in 120s likely due to stress of increasing cardic output in septic picture. other concerns included his thyroid medicine and new ischemia but tsh normal and cardiac enzymes were negative. pt was rate controlled with metoprolol 50mg tid and was successfully converted to ns rhythm. echo was done which showed lvef>55%, no thrombus. pt's chads2 score at 1. aspirin was held due to thrombocytopenia. metoprolol was discontinued given his reactive airways and wheezing. on stopping, patient tended to be borderline tachyardia with intermittent atrial fibrillation and bigeminal pacs. when his pulmonary symptoms resolve, metoprolol should be considered if his tachycardia/afib persists at rehab. 3) parkinson's disease: was continued on home pramipexole during course and was evaluated by speech and swallow for dysphagia; pt was cleared for regular solid po intake. 4) mds/non-hodgkin's lymphoma: s/p chemo and bmt, chronic thrombocytopenia. pt had no bleeding issues. patient required transfusion of 1 unit of platelets prior to picc line placement but otherwised remained above transfusion threshold without evidence of bleeding. 5) hyperlipidemia: rosuvastatin was continued throughout course. 6) bph: tamsulosin was continued throughout course. 7) depression/anxiety: stable, prn diazepam. was requiring approximately one additional dose of diazepam daily. 8) hypothyroid: continue home levothyroxine sodium 50 mcg po daily. tsh normal. 9) left ear ceurmen: stable. 10) constipation: continued lactulose, polyethylene glycol, docusate sodium 100 mg po bid, and senna 1 tab po bid. # transitional issues: - consider starting patient on metoprolol for new atrial fibrillation, was started in house, then discontinued given reactive airways. should be restarted if he continues to have tachycardia/afib once pulm symptoms resolve. - patient should continue full treatment for hcap with vancomycin 1g iv q12 and cefepime 2 g iv q12h through is picc line, both through . - picc line okay to use by nursing staff at rehab. cxr confirmed placement on and has been used here. - patient started on prednisone 40 mg po daily for reactive airways, which should continue through . - patient started on high dose ppi while in house given ent evaluation of laryngeal inflammation from possible reflux. this should be discussed with pcp and in 2 weeks. continued high dose ppi has multiple risks and these should be weighed. medications on admission: preadmission medications listed are correct and complete. information was obtained from record. 1. diazepam 5 mg po daily:prn anxiety 2.

history of present illness: ms. is an 81-year-old female with a complicated past medical history who presented with several months of fevers as well as rash of approximately three weeks duration. the patient's past medical history dates back to , at which time she had a medical workup for abdominal pain, weight loss, and anorexia. she had a cat scan done on that showed significant abdominal adenopathy, extensive adenopathy displacing the bowel in the periaortic, aorta cava, and mesenteric area. she had a bone marrow biopsy done on that showed no evidence of malignancy. in , the patient then had a retroperitoneal node biopsy done via a mini-laparotomy procedure which showed granulomatous lymphadenitis with noncaseating granulomas. this was acid-fast bacillus negative as well as gms negative and pas negative. at this time, the patient obtained the diagnosis of sarcoidosis. also in , the patient had the onset of low-grade temperatures as well as some early satiety, and she continued to have abdominal pain. she had an abnormal xylose test done in . at this point, again, the working diagnosis on this patient was sarcoidosis. her blood was tested and was negative for histoplasmosis, coccidioidomycosis, blastomycosis. as well, she had a purified protein derivative placed which was negative. no steroids were started at this time. approximately one year ago, in , the patient was diagnosed with crohn's disease. it is my understanding that this was a clinical diagnosis, as there was no documented colonoscopy. the patient was followed by dr. as well as by a gastroenterologist at an outside facility. the medications used to treat her crohn's disease included prednisone, 6-mp, methotrexate, as well as remicade. her cycles of remicade were in , , and . it is not entirely clear to me at this time what the sequence of medical therapy was for her crohn's disease. she also had approximately a 6-month course of high-dose steroids for the crohn's disease with a taper prior to starting her first remicade cycle. the patient then had an admission to the from to ; at which time she was admitted for diarrhea, fever, chills, sweats, as well as bloating. she was thought at that time to have a crohn's flare (plus or minus gastroenteritis). she was treated with ciprofloxacin, flagyl, and stress-dose steroids. at that time, she improved and her fevers stopped. it should be mentioned at this time that the patient had intermittent fevers occurring weekly and spiking up to 103 for approximately four to five months prior to her admission to the hospital in . cultures were done during her admission, and they were negative. after she finished a 10-day course of antibiotics, her fevers recurred. on , she had a remicade infusion and felt well for a few weeks following that; and then, on , she was seen by dr. in the clinic. at that time she looked tired and exhausted, although her crohn's disease was quiescent. she then experienced recurrent fevers in late and was treated with ciprofloxacin and flagyl from to . at that time, her fevers remitted and she felt somewhat better. on , the patient's fevers returned, and she was spiking to 103 at home, continued to have night sweats (which was essentially her baseline with these fevers). she also has episodes where she becomes somewhat lethargic and nearly unresponsive during the hour or so before she is going to have a temperature spike. she also experiences rigors. all of this history is obtained from family members as well as from the patient herself. review of systems: review of systems was also positive for weight loss and lethargy (as mentioned) during the temperature spikes and drenching night sweats. otherwise, negative for headache and visual changes. no sinus congestion. no dysphagia. no cough. no shortness of breath. no nausea or vomiting. no abdominal pain. no joint pain. no other localizing symptoms to correlate with these fevers. approximately three weeks prior to admission, the patient mentioned that she noted a nodule in her right axilla. over time, the patient developed significant/enumerable nodules and papules covering her sternum, her breasts, her abdomen, her upper extremities, her upper back, and the back of her neck, as well as her scalp. these nodules spared her palms, and spared her left extremities, and also spared her face. she was seen by a dermatologist at an outside facility, and a biopsy was done. when she was admitted to the hospital on , she was carrying the presumptive diagnosis of a cutaneous lymphoproliferative disorder, but that had not been further characterized when she was admitted to the hospital. the patient was scheduled to have an appointment with dr. of hematology/oncology on . however, she came to the emergency department (brought by her husband) in the setting of having a temperature spike and her usual rigors, sweats, and lethargy. she was noted to have what the husband felt was mild respiratory distress with deep inspiration, and what he characterized as respiratory difficulty. in the emergency department the patient was treated with ampicillin, levofloxacin, and flagyl as well as intravenous fluids. she was admitted for further workup. past medical history: her past medical history has been detailed above. also significant for uterine suspension in , as well as total abdominal hysterectomy/bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy in . she also does carry the diagnosis of crohn's disease and sarcoidosis (as mentioned). medications on admission: her medications on admission to the hospital included prednisone 15 mg p.o. q.d., 6-mp 75 mg p.o. q.d., multivitamin p.o. q.d., premarin, fosamax, omega -3 fatty acids. she is status post remicade cycle on . she takes folic acid and an iron supplement as well. allergies: the patient has no known drug allergies; however, it is noted in her history that in the past she has been treated with pentasa and methotrexate without good effect on her crohn's disease. it is not believed that she actually has a frank allergy to pentasa or to methotrexate. family history: family history is significant for diabetes mellitus. mother died of stomach cancer and a pulmonary embolism, and a daughter who has survived breast cancer. social history: no history of tobacco. occasional alcohol one to two times per week. no history of intravenous drug use. she works as an artist. she was born in . her first husband was in the military, and she has lived in , , ., as well as . she is currently married to her second husband. family is very supportive of her and has been giving her tremendous support during the past year and a half when she has been suffering from these recurrent fevers and an ongoing workup for them. physical examination on presentation: on physical examination her temperature maximum was 104.2, in the emergency department temperature was 101. on admission heart rate was 102, blood pressure of 122/59, oxygen saturation of 100% on room air, respiratory rate of 16. examination of her skin revealed multiple welts, circumscribed, round, nontender, firm, nonulcerative papular lesions/nodules ranging from 2 mm to 5 mm over her arms, chest, back, abdomen, breast, scalp, and neck; sparing her face, palms lower legs and feet. head, eyes, ears, nose, and throat examination was normocephalic and atraumatic. pupils were equal, round, and reactive to light. extraocular movements were intact. she had a left cataract. there was no oropharyngeal erythema. no exudate. no oral lesions. the appearance of her face was somewhat cushingoid. the neck was supple. there was no lymphadenopathy. lungs were clear to auscultation bilaterally. cardiovascular examination revealed carotids with normal volume with brisk upstroke, no bruits. jugular venous pulse at 4 cm. a regular rate and rhythm. normal first heart sound and second heart sound. no third heart sound. no fourth heart sound. a holosystolic murmur. the abdomen was soft, nontender, and nondistended, normal active bowel sounds. extremities were without cyanosis, clubbing or edema. pertinent laboratory data on presentation: initial laboratory data included a white blood cell count of 11.7 (with 55% polys, 15% bands, 11% lymphocytes, 9% monocytes, 1 metamyelocytes, 1 myelocyte, 1 promyelocyte. hematocrit of 37.9, platelet count of 402, mean cell volume of 81. urinalysis with a specific gravity of 1.035, 0 to 2 red blood cells, 6 to 10 white blood cells, few bacteria. her chem-7 was sodium of 132, potassium of 6.6 (hemolyzed, repeated at 5.7), chloride of 97, bicarbonate of 22, blood urea nitrogen of 23, creatinine of 0.8, glucose of 103. alt of 33, ast of 124, alkaline phosphatase of 184, total bilirubin of 0.5. inr of 1.7. radiology/imaging: electrocardiogram with sinus tachycardia at 106, flat t waves in avl and iii. ct scan showed bilateral atelectasis at the lung bases, small stone in the gallbladder, as well as perihepatic ascites, and a small amount of pelvic ascites. hospital course: in summary, then, ms. is an 81-year-old female with a history of sarcoid and crohn's disease who has had recurrent temperature spikes times approximately six months as well as an approximate year and a half history of low-grade fevers prior to these temperature spikes. she also presents with a progressive skin eruption consisting of papules and nodules over the past three weeks. she is admitted with fever, dehydration, and a further evaluation of this rash. the hospital course while she was on the medicine service is as follows: the patient had a consultation by hematology/oncology on the day following admission, at which time a bone marrow biopsy was done, and the slide from the outside facility was read of her cutaneous lesions. she was found to have cd30 positive and cd68 positive anaplastic large cell lymphoma. subsequent studies of her bone marrow and her peripheral blood showed that she had large cell anaplastic lymphoma in the peripheral blood as well as in the bone marrow. additional biopsies of the skin were done in the clinic. the patient also had a gastrointestinal consultation for further evaluation of her question of crohn's disease. in terms of management of that, however, when the patient presented during this hospital admission, her crohn's disease did not seem to be an active issue, as she was not complaining of any diarrhea or abdominal pain. the patient was doing well on and ; however, on , her hospital course took a much different course. it was noted that her platelet count was 360 on and dropped to 169 on . following that through, from the to the , she continued to have a rapid decline in her platelets; such that, on , her platelets were 18. similarly, her inr continued to climb. her fibrinogen continued to fall, and the patient appeared to be flora dic. she had a lactate level drawn which was 15.5 (consistent with a metabolic acidosis). her bicarbonate fell to a low of 7 on . she was subsequently started on bicarbonate. the patient had a hematocrit drop from 39 to 29, and she was transfused with 2 units of packed red blood cells. the patient had a head ct done to further evaluation the lethargy and dramatic change in her mental status in her peri-febrile states. her head ct was negative for any bleed, any evidence of a regional infarction, or any mass lesions. she was transferred to the intensive care unit for approximately a 12-hour period of time for further management of her dic; however, she was then returned to the floor because it was the feeling that the care she was getting on the floor was not significantly different from that which would be done in the intensive care unit. at the time the patient was transferred from the medicine service to the oncology service, she was in flora dic. she had received bicarbonate; and at the time of transfer, her bicarbonate was back within the normal range. her platelets, inr, and fibrinogen continued to be followed daily. prior to transfer to the oncology team she was started on methotrexate p.o. she received three doses of that as well as aggressive hydration. she was also started on allopurinol and folic acid. it was felt that the patient's dic as well as metabolic acidosis was perhaps due to tumor burden versus tumor lysis. the question of tumor lysis seemed less likely given that the patient started to decompensate prior to receiving the methotrexate. a discussion was had with the family on multiple occasions, and ultimately the family decided that the patient's code status would do not resuscitate/do not intubate; however, they chose a course of therapy that would include oral methotrexate. they were unwilling to make the patient comfort measures only; and, similarly, they were unwilling to pursue a more aggressive chemotherapy regimen such as chop with methotrexate. the patient was able to participate in all of these discussions regarding her code status and regarding her treatment of her large cell anaplastic lymphoma. the remainder of her hospital course, while she is on the oncology service, will be dictated in a subsequent discharge summary. she had not been , m.d. dictated by: medquist36 Procedure: Continuous invasive mechanical ventilation for less than 96 consecutive hours Venous catheterization, not elsewhere classified Spinal tap Incision of lung Insertion of endotracheal tube Biopsy of bone marrow Arterial catheterization Endoscopic control of gastric or duodenal bleeding Closed biopsy of skin and subcutaneous tissue Diagnoses: Acute gastric ulcer with hemorrhage, without mention of obstruction Hematoma complicating a procedure Sarcoidosis Reticulosarcoma, lymph nodes of multiple sites Regional enteritis of unspecified site Acute respiratory failure Arteriovenous fistula, acquired Defibrination syndrome

hypotension: he was hypotensive in the emergency department which was of unclear etiology. this was thought most likely to be due to hypovolemia due to dehydration as his blood pressure normalized with iv fluids. by the end of his hospitalization he had actually started to become hypertensive and was started on lisinopril 10 mg daily. his hctz was not restarted as it was thought this may have been contributing to his hyponatremia. . fever: this was of unclear etiology and was attributed to a likely viral syndrome. he had no localizing signs or symptoms of infection. a test for influenza was negative as was a urine culture. blood cultures were pending at discharge. he was initially treated with broad spectrum antibiotics including vancomycin, levofloxacin, and metronidazole. once his culture data was negative he was switched to po levofloxacin and he was discharged to complete a seven day course. . # resp failure: he was intubated in the ed for airway protection but he was successfully extubated shortly after arriving to the micu and maintained a normal o2 saturation throughout the rest of his hospital course. . # hyponatremia: on admission he was initially hyponatremic with a sodium of 129. this was thought to be due to a combination of hypovolemia from dehydration as well as hctx effect. with hydration and stopping his hctz his sodium normalized and at discharge it was 134. . #

laceration of the transverse mesocolon, splenic decapsulation, liver laceration, and multiple colonic deserosalizations. the splenic decapsulation was repaired, as were the serosal injuries to the colon. the transverse mesocolon was repaired, as was the liver laceration. the orthopedic surgery team then came into the operating room for washout and closed reduction of his left monteggia fracture of the radial head without long-arm splinting. he remained hemodynamically stable throughout the procedure without hypothermia. of note, prior to this, because of the known intracranial hemorrhage with hemodynamic instability, neurosurgery was called for bolt placement. icp monitor was placed with pressures in the 10 to 13 range. he was also placed on iv ancef perioperatively. he was then taken to the trauma icu where several consults were obtained, including an ophthalmology consult regarding his orbital wall fractures. they did not identify any entrapment on ct and recommended outpatient followup. he had subsequent bilateral chest tubes placed and a subclavian line placed on return to the icu. he was seen by oromaxillofacial surgery regarding his facial fractures and was taken to the operating room on for open reduction and internal fixation of his mid face fractures. of note, he had a large laceration of his eyebrow/nasal region that had been closed on the day of admission. of note, because of his multiple facial injuries and his deteriorating respiratory status over the course of his icu stay, he ended up developing pseudomonas in his urine. a tracheostomy was performed on . he also had an ivc filter placed on after bilateral lower extremity ultrasound revealed a right common femoral vein nonocclusive thrombus. a cta of the chest to evaluate for pulmonary embolus was negative, but was a poor quality study. he was subsequently additionally started on a heparin drip. however, there was difficulty in making him therapeutic, and a hematology consult was obtained. however, he was deemed to have no identifiable hematologic problem and was eventually maintained on goal ptt. coumadin was subsequently started. he was maintained on antibiotics for the pseudomonas in his sputum. he did continue to spike temperatures during his icu stay and required frequent suctioning and aggressive pulmonary toilet to manage his copious secretions. after recovering from his last operation, which was the orif of his facial fractures, he was finally transferred to the floor on . due to the fact that he was now a candidate for anticoagulation, vascular surgery was re-consulted and his ivc filter was removed. he was then placed on lovenox for anticoagulation purposes. he was able then to ambulate with physical therapy. however, he continued to have a very poor p.o. intake. we strongly encouraged p.o., and he stabilized his intake and was cleared by speech and swallow and was deemed stable for discharge to home from that standpoint. he was also placed on a passy-muir valve, which he tolerated well. he defervesced, and his antibiotics were stopped, and he remained without any further infectious issues. his mental status improved, and he was able to follow commands, and he was oriented x 3. once his mental status had improved, his c-spine was clinically cleared and his c-collar was removed. he was followed up by orthopedic surgery, who revised his cast after doing repeat films of his left upper extremity. he continued to progress well, and he was deemed stable for discharge to home on postoperative day numbers 29 and 17, which was also hospital day number 30. discharge diagnoses: status post fall with multiple injuries, including: mesocolic laceration. splenic laceration. liver laceration. colonic deserosalization x 3. le fracture with fractures of the

history of present illness: mr. is an 82 year-old asian male with a history of dementia, who was transferred from the micu to the floor following a long stay for respiratory failure, complicated by fevers and complicated by bilateral iatrogenic pneumothoraces requiring chest tube placement. briefly the patient was admitted on following a respiratory and cardiac arrest after choking on food. the patient was resuscitated and intubated in the field by ems. estimated total time of arrest (cardiac and respiratory) was 5 to 15 minutes including 5 to 10 minutes of cpr. in the emergency department the patient received a left pneumothorax following an attempted left subclavian line placement. this left pneumothorax required a chest tube. the emergency department course is also notable for hypotension requiring levophed, as well as witnessed aspiration event. upon arrival to the complications of the left chest tube resulted in a left tented pneumothorax as well as a right sided pneumothorax presumed secondary to high pips in the 90s. the cardiac surgery was consulted and bilateral chest tubes were placed. the patient was initially begun on levofloxacin/flagyl for presumed aspiration pneumonia with bilateral infiltrates on chest x-ray. the patient intermittently spiked fevers in the for which vancomycin was added on . in addition, the patient had episodes of supraventricular tachycardia, which was responsive to adenosine and vagal maneuvers. a neurology consult was obtained who felt that anoxic brain injury was highly unlikely and his prognosis for recovery was poor. after an extensive discussion with the patient's family the patient's code status was changed to dnr/dni. on the patient was extubated and bilateral chest tubes were discontinued. since the patient remained hemodynamically stable and the patient was transferred to the floor on . past medical history: 1. dementia of alzheimer's type. 2. prior ceas. allergies: bacitracin and

opacities right greater then left increasing over the past few days. microbiology: blood cultures times two, sputum is negative. urine is negative. blood cultures times two are negative. urine is with positive coag negative staph. electrocardiogram on normal sinus rhythm at 94 beats per minute, right bundle branch block, low limb voltage. impression: the patient is an 82 year-old asian male with baseline dementia who is initially admitted after a prolonged cardiac/respiratory arrest. he was admitted to the medical intensive care unit with anoxic brain injury secondary to prolonged cardiac and respiratory arrest. in addition his hospital course was complicated by pneumothoraces as well as continued aspiration. a neurology consult was obtained to evaluate the patient and their overall consensus was that this patient's prognosis was very poor. upon transfer to the floor the patient was currently aspirating with worsening bilateral lower lobe infiltrates, and the risk of recurrent arrest or decompensation was high. hospital course: 1. pulmonary: the patient continued aspirating. he remained on high oxygen flow by shovel mask. the was continued with supplemental oxygen with suctioning prn. 2. cardiovascular: the patient is hemodynamically stable, blood pressure in the 90 to 120 range. 3. infectious disease: afebrile times 48 hours with negative culture workup thus far. his fevers are likely secondary to aspiration pneumonitis/pneumonia versus central in origin. because of worsening infiltrates the patient was continued on aspiration coverage with levofloxacin/flagyl. 4. renal: the patient's bun to creatinine ratio was steadily increasing. this increasing ratio is likely indicated of a prerenal insufficiency. intravenous fluids were given to the patient to assist with the prerenal condition. 5. neurology: as per the neurological evaluation significant neurological recovery was very unlikely and the and patient's prognosis was poor. 6. fen: the patient's tube feeds were continued initially. 7. prophylaxis: the patient was kept on a ppi and subcutaneous heparin. 8. code status: a family meeting was carried out with the health care proxy, son and power of attorney daughter . the medical condition was discussed and at the patient's current state he was at extremely high risk of decompensation and another cardiopulmonary arrest. the patient on transfer to the floor was dnr/dni. a family meeting on with the son and daughter to represent the family. the medical condition and treatment were discussed in depth regarding dnr/dni, intravenous fluids, antibiotics, deep oropharyngeal suction, laboratory draws, chest x-rays and blood cultures. stated that the family had already made peace with their father's health condition and he voiced the preference that the patient be kept comfortable. also stated that he wished that his father would "go peacefully" with no intervention. and stated that they did not want any intravenous fluids or any pressors. it was decided by the family to discontinue all lines, intravenous fluids, with prn morphine given for comfort. in addition, the family declined deep oropharyngeal suctioning and laboratory draws. regarding feedings, daughter felt that the nasogastric tube feedings "would not change anything" and they opted to have the nasogastric tube feeds discontinued as well. the patient's family stressed that the primary role is that the patient is to be kept comfortable and peaceful. a plan was made that the patient would be kept on supplemental oxygen for comfort, given prn morphine, oral suctioning as needed for comfort, as well as scopolamine patches to decrease secretions. from through the patient was kept comfortable with oxygen, morphine and prn tylenol. throughout his course the patient remained unresponsive, though the patient did once open his eyes to touch. the patient's course continued to decline from through and he was without spontaneous movement. on the patient began having increased secretions, increased gurgling and his respiratory status became more labored. in addition, the patient began to have increased work of breathing. supplemental oxygen, scopolamine patches to decrease secretions and morphine gtt were continued for comfort. on at 12:17 p.m. the patient expired. discharge diagnoses: 1. dementia secondary to alzheimer's disease. 2. aspiration of food causing cardiac arrest. 3. anoxic brain damage secondary to prolonged cardiopulmonary resuscitation. 4. continued aspiration pneumonitis/pneumonia. 5. iatrogenic pneumothorax status
