impression: findings suggesting mild vascular congestion. in the appropriate clinical setting, atypical pneumonia could also be considered. also, although it is difficult to exclude focal pneumonia at the lung bases, patchy basilar opacities with low lung volumes could also be seen with atelectasis. cardiac echo conclusions the left atrium is elongated. no atrial septal defect is seen by 2d or color doppler. there is mild symmetric left ventricular hypertrophy. the left ventricular cavity size is normal. overall left ventricular systolic function is mildly depressed (lvef= 35-40 %) with regional hypokinesis in basal-mid lateral hypo/akinesis and apical hypokinesis. right ventricular chamber size and free wall motion are normal. the aortic valve leaflets (3) are mildly thickened but aortic stenosis is not present. mild (1+) aortic regurgitation is seen. moderate to severe (3+) mitral regurgitation is seen. there is borderline pulmonary artery systolic hypertension. there is no pericardial effusion. compared with the prior study (images reviewed) of , the wall motion abnormalities and overall ejection fraction are similar. the degree of mitral regurgitation has increased but was probably underestimated on the prior study. impression: regional wall motion abnormalities in the inferior, lateral and apical territories with reduced ejection fraction to 30-35%. moderate to severe mitral regurgitation. mild aortic regurgitation. cxr comparison: . findings: as compared to the previous radiograph, the lung volumes have minimally increased, likely reflecting improved

history of present illness: baby girl , first name , was born at 36 and 2/7 weeks gestation to a 26 year- old, gravida i mother by cesarean section. this pregnancy was complicated by a diagnosis at 25 weeks gestation during an ultrasound of a pelvic mass in the fetus. further assessment at with ultrasound and fetal mri revealed pelvic lesions most consistent with sacrococcygeal teratoma, that was most pelvic in location with a combination of solid and mostly cystic components. blood supply was felt to not be robust. the mass was also noticed to displace the bladder anteriorly. no hydronephrosis or other evidence of urinary obstruction was noted at the time of imaging. mother had been referred to the advanced fetal care clinic by dr. of . the parents met with dr. who presented the plan for assessment after delivery including further mri imaging to plan the surgical approach for removal of the tumor. mother's prenatal screen: blood type 0 positive, antibody negative, hbsag negative. rpr nonreactive. rubella immune. gbs unknown. mother presented to the in the evening of with preterm labor. the delivery was performed by cesarean section at that time. the infant emerged vigorous with apgars of 8 and 9 and the baby was transferred to the nicu for further assessment and treatment. physical examination: physical examination on admission showed an alert, appropriate for gestational age size 36 week gestation infant. weight 2725 grams which is 50th percentile, length 47 cm which is 50th percentile, head circumference 33 cm which is 50th percentile. stable vital signs. heent: anterior fontanel soft and flat. normocephalic, non dysmorphic. respiratory: breath sounds clear and equal. cvs: normal s1 and s2, no murmur, well perfused. abdomen soft and full in appearance with a firm mass palpable in the lower abdomen. normal bowel sounds. anus normal with a positive anal wink. a five by six cm mass was palpable over the left buttocks. the mass was soft and completely covered with skin with a small tuft of hair present. the hips were noted to have increased laxity and range of motion with abduction, not clearly dislocatable. the right foot had a mild metatarsal adductus. neuro: strong suck, symmetrical exam. tone was good, alert and responsive. hospital course: 1. respiratory: the infant has remained on room air since birth with a normal respiratory rate and rhythm and normal oxygen saturation limits. 2. cardiovascular: the infant has maintained a normal cardiovascular exam; has had no murmurs, normal blood pressure, heart rate and normal s1 and s2. 3. fluids, electrolytes and nutrition: intravenous fluids were initiated on admission to the nicu. ad lib p.o. feedings were initiated within the first few hours of life. the infant was p.o. ad lib feeding and remained on iv fluids which weaned down by day 2 of life to 20 ml per kg per day. she received golytely bowel prep at approximately 10 a.m. on followed by a diet of pedialyte thereafter. she was made n.p.o. at midnight on . her most recent set of electrolytes was a sodium of 144; potassium of 4.4, chloride 110; carbon dioxide of 23 on . her most recent weight was 2600 grams on day of life 3, . 4. gastrointestinal: due to the diagnosis of sacrococcygeal teratoma, an abdominal ultrasound was done on which showed bilateral hydronephrosis with more hydronephrosis on the right versus the left and a probable hydroureter. the mass was measured to be approximately 5.2 cm by 2.4 cm in the abdomen and felt to be mostly cystic in nature with little mass to the teratoma. a mri was performed at on to evaluate the sacrococcygeal teratoma. an afp was sent on the infant and the afp result was 1,772,400. 5. hematology: no blood typing has been done on this infant. the hematocrit at birth was 42.8 with platelet count of 353. 6. infectious disease: cbc and blood culture were screened on admission due to the preterm labor at 36 and 2/7 weeks gestation. the cbc was benign with a white blood cell count of 9,000, 32 polys and 0 bands. the blood culture remained negative. due to the hydronephrosis on the ultrasound, prophylactic amoxicillin was started on . low dose ampicillin was initiated at 100 mg/kg q. 12 hours on in preparation for surgery and the amoxicillin was discontinued at that time. she has remained free of signs of infection. 7. neurology: the infant has maintained a normal neurologic exam, moves lower extremities very well with good tone and activity. 8. sensory: audiology: a hearing screen will need to be performed prior to discharge from the hospital. 9. psychosocial: a social worker has been in contact with the family. there is no ongoing social concerns at this time but if there are any questions or concerns, the social worker can be reached at . the infant's condition at discharge is stable. discharge disposition: transfer to in for surgical repair of a sacrococcygeal teratoma with admission to the nicu at after surgery. care recommendations: continued care for sacrococcygeal teratoma repair. medications: ampicillin 280 mg iv q. 12 hours. a state newborn screen was sent on . immunizations recommended: the first synagis rsv prophylaxis should be considered from through for infants who meet any of the following 3 criteria: (1) born at less than 32 weeks gestation;

the right subclavian and internal jugular veins. the patient has received 10 mg of tpa directly into the thrombus at the time of the procedure and is now receiving 1 mg per hour of tpa via infusion catheter into the thrombosis. this will be stopped 12 hours from now and then normal saline will be infused through the catheter at a rate of 30 cc per hour to keep the catheter open. the patient is also on a heparin drip at 200 units per hour peripherally which will be continued. 2) the patient will be reevaluated with a venogram on to evaluate clot burden at that time. 3) status post removal of the patient's left portocath. --- ct impression: bypass of superior vena cava by intravenous contrast with filling of multiple venous collaterals consistent with svc thrombosis. no significant lymphadenopathy identified --- vq scan impression: no evidence of pulmonary embolism. --- echo conclusions: 1. the left atrium is mildly dilated. 2. left ventricular wall thickness, cavity size, and systolic function are normal (lvef>55%). regional left ventricular wall motion is normal. 3. the aortic valve leaflets (3) are mildly thickened. 4. the mitral valve leaflets are mildly thickened. trivial mitral regurgitation is seen. 5. no evidence of endocarditis seen. --- tagged wbc scan impression: 1) no definite evidence of an infectious source. 2) resolving small emboli of clumped tracer material --- ct abdomen/chest impression: 1. left anterior chest wall cystic lesion. this may be postoperative in nature, representing a hematoma/seroma. an infected collection cannot be ruled out. 2. small bilateral pleural effusions, new since the prior study. 3. left upper lobe pulmonary nodule, stable from . 4. stable osseous lytic/sclerotic lesion. 5. no hydronephrosis. --- cxr impression: bilateral pleural effusions again seen, with slight interval worsening. no other interval change. --- brief hospital course: a/p 61 yo male with multiple myeloma w/ fractures of humerus and vertebrae status post bmt admitted for svc thrombosis at portacath s/p thrombectomy and clot lysis w/ tpn. the following issues were addressed during this admission: 1. svc thrombosis: his portacath was thought to be the nydus for clot formation as a result of hypercoagulability secondary to underlying malignancy. he was initially taken for direct clot lysis with tissue plasminogen activator by ir. he was sent back to the icu with a tpa infusion and heparin. he also had his portacath removed. however, while receiving tpa, he began bleeding from the port removal site which was eventually controlled with a pressure dressing. he was brought back 2 days later for additional direct tpa to remaining clot. again, he was placed on a tpa infusion. finally, several days later, he was again taken for a venogram and had a stent place in his svc. he had a narrowed section that was felt to have contributed to his formation of clot. the stent was placed effectively. of note, he had residual clot seen in the left brachiocephalic vein and the right internal jugular vein. he was then sent out on heparin and continued on this. he was switched to lovenox and his heparin gtt was stopped. he was then started on coumadin and brought to therapeutic levels, at which point the lovenox was stopped. he remained stable, with no additional thrombus or signs of svc blockage. 2. multiple myeloma: patient presented with complaints of back pain, fatigue, and weight loss over the 2 weeks prior to admission. this was concerning for relapse of myeloma. total protein was also elevated on lab values. serum protein electropheresis sent on hospital day two demonstrated a single band with 20% of his total protein present, which represented an igg level of 2463mg/dl. likewise, urine protein electropheresis identified a band containing 70% of the total urine protein and revealed the presence of bence- proteins. repeat spep 10 days later demonstrated an increase in the representation of igg in total serum protein to 25%, 1968mg/dl, which was concerning for further evidence of relapse. 3. fuo: on the day before his svc stent was placed mr had a fever to 101. he then proceeded to have daily fevers of varying magnitude for much of the remainder of his course. on the day of his stent, he was 101 again, then had a 102.3 fever the following day. at this point, he was started on vancomycin, and defervessed for approx 72 hours. all of his blood cultures were negative, and the vancomycin was stopped. he proceeded to have a return of his fever 13 hours after his last dose. the fevers then recurred daily, and on some days occured for the majority of the day. they seemed to worsen in length and intensity as his course progressed. after 2 days of febrility, the vancomycin was restarted. however, he did not defervese. it was continued nonetheless to protect his stent and arm hardware from contamination. multiple blood cultures were obtained but were perpetually negative. at this point, he had a vq scan to rule out pe, as he did have clot remaining in his body, but it was negative. he then had a chest ct and abdominal ct which were unrevealing. an echo showed no endocarditis. he then had a tagged wbc scan which showed no source of infection. other possibilities included drug fever and tumor fever. myeloma is not known to cause fever, and especially not fevers to the 103s as he was exhibiting. his medication list was reviewed and nothing known to cause fever was found. vanco was considered, but he hadthe fevers before going on this drug. he did have one episode of itchy rash that resolved with benadryl and a 5% incidence of eos of his diff. this did not recur, and was unexplained. his portacath removal site was considered as a source and eventual i&d revealed no evidence of infection. during this process, id was consulted, and levaquin and ceftazidime were both added for broader coverage of possible pathogens. at this point, there was still no culture growth and no known source of infection, although patient did begin to have occasional episodes of diarrhea, which was ultimately found to be positive for clostridium difficile. patient was treated with metronidazole. therefore, given the absence of any obvious symptoms or signs of infection or morbidity as a result of the etiology of the fever, all antibiotics were stopped (except for metronidazole), and patient continued to do well with only acetaminophen for treatment of fever. patient was ultimately discharged with occasional episodes that were not otherwise symptomatic. 4. anemia: mr initially presented with a hct of 31 on admission. this slowly trended down, and he was transfused 2 units prbcs. he had a good response, but then drifted down again and was given another 2 units. a source of bleeding was not identified. his stools were initially guaiac negative, he had no hematuria, hemptysis, or obvious bleeding source. we also had an abdominal and chest ct which did not show bleeding. hemolysis labs were sent and negative. iron studies and b12/folate were also normal and unrevealing. despite these results, patient continued to require infrequent blood transfusions for support. given the lack of evidence for hemolysis or loss of red blood cells, the low blood count was concerning as further evidence of myeloma relapse with marrow infiltration. 5. renal failure: following initial procedures performed by interventional radiology, patient's serum creatinine began to trend upwards. despite aggressive hydration, serum creatinine continued to increase. therefore, it was thought that patient's renal insufficiency was likely a result of multiple rounds of contrast dye insult during initial hospital course. although urine output continued to be adequate, patient's serum creatinine stabilized at ~1.6 (baseline had been 0.7 on admission), which was concerning for an irreversible contrast nephropathy in the setting of likely relapse of myeloma and bence proteinuria. despite the above issues, at the time of discharge, mr. claimed that he felt "the best i've felt in years", and given the stabilization of acute issues, it was felt that patient was clinically stable for discharge. at the time of discharge, patient was continuing to have occasional fevers, but had no signs or symptoms of infection. patient was discharged with a course of metronidazole to eradiacte clostridium difficile. patient was to return to clinic for follow up of possible myeloma relapse. medications on admission: zometa discharge medications: 1. coumadin 5 mg

history of present illness: this is a 77-year-old male with complex cardiac history including coronary artery disease, status post coronary artery bypass graft in with multiple percutaneous interventions, instent stenosis as well as brachytherapy, congestive heart failure, ejection fraction of 42%, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, gastrointestinal bleed, cva, weakness, dementia. the patient originally presented to the hospital on with complaints of slow onset of left shoulder pain, about that radiated to the back associated with shortness of breath, but without nausea, vomiting or palpitations; somewhat similar to his past angina. patient was given aspirin at home and brought to the emergency room by ems. in the emergency room, he received nitropaste, lopressor, morphine, tramadol and had some improvement in his symptoms. review of systems: significant for a lack of fevers and chills, non-productive cough with a head cold without shortness of breath. positive

(old), small left pleural effusion consistent with mild congestive heart failure. electrocardiogram: normal sinus rhythm, left axis deviation, left ventricular hypertrophy, left anterior fascicular block, left atrial enlargement, down sloping st segments 1 mm in i, avl, v2, v3 with small st depressions in v5 and v6 less than a mm, t wave inversions in i, avl, biphasic t wave in ii. in comparison with an electrocardiogram dated , the patient's electrocardiogram at the time of admission appeared to be improved in terms of the st segment, t wave inversion were normalizing v2 to v6. in relation with an electrocardiogram done in , the st depressions are new. hospital course: by system: 1. cardiovascular: ischemia: the patient ruled out for myocardial infarction at the start of his admission. it was thought that his initial shoulder pain was more related to a pulmonary process versus a cardiac process. he subsequently was maintained on aspirin, beta-blocker and ace inhibitor, doses of which were variable throughout his hospital course based on his blood pressure and other ongoing medical issues. it was told to us that patient does not tolerate statins or plavix and he was not maintained on these medications. pump: patient had an echocardiogram on this admission that showed an ejection fraction of 40-45% consistent with systolic congestive heart failure. his hospital course was notable for increasing blood pressures 200/100s soon after his admission with associated shortness of breath and oxygen desaturations to 92% on a nonrebreather. this was thought to be consistent with flash pulmonary edema. patient was diuresed subsequently hypotensive requiring a dopamine drip and was transferred to the intensive care unit for closer monitoring, as well as a question aspiration event. patient was treated with a nitroglycerin drip and lasix and did have an electrocardiogram that showed st depressions in the anterior lateral leads thought to be secondary to demand ischemia. he was subsequently in the coronary care unit, however, his course was then complicated by persistent hypoxia from pneumonia and his blood cultures grew out 3-4 bottles of methicillin sensitive staph aureus. patient required intubation on and was subsequently transferred to the medical intensive care unit service after an episode of hypotension with systolic blood pressures down to the 60s. he was subsequently started on a neo drip, given fluid boluses, extubated on and transferred to the floor and then re-intubated on in the setting of an aspiration event, desaturations, when he was found unresponsive with a weak cough. at that time, the patient was then transferred to the intensive care unit. subsequent details will be elaborated in the various problems. rhythm: the patient remained in normal sinus rhythm with relative bradycardia during his intensive care unit stay which dates until the time of discharge anticipated to be during the week of . patient received amiodarone load and then followed by op amiodarone while he was in the coronary care unit and has subsequently remained out of atrial fibrillation and atrial flutter. the issue of anticoagulation was raised, however, given patient's multiple ongoing medical problems, bloody sputum and history of cva, as well as history of gastrointestinal bleed, which was severe, patient was not anticoagulated on this admission and that will need to be re-addressed when the patient is more stable. 2. pulmonary: patient has had multiple complex problems with his pulmonary status during this admission but to summarize, he initially had hypoxia secondary to congestive heart failure. subsequently, he was found to have difficulty with swallowing and probable persistent aspiration with a failed swallow evaluation on with subsequent positive blood cultures for methicillin sensitive staph aureus. he was on several antibiotic courses including initial levofloxacin and flagyl for aspiration pneumonia which was started on and discontinued on . subsequently he was empirically started on zosyn for potential pseudomonal nosocomial pneumonia, as well as vancomycin on the for gram positive cocci, however, when he had neck gene analysis for the infectious disease service and was found to have methicillin-sensitive staphylococcus aureus, he was changed to a course of four weeks of oxicillin and 14 days of levofloxacin per infectious disease recommendations. his course of oxicillin is due to end on . he will complete his levofloxacin at the same time. patient had multiple intubations and extubations during this admission. it is unclear what the precipitants of his worsening hypoxia were during all the various events, although, aspiration seemed to play a large role, as well as congestive heart failure and these are the two main issues for which he was treated while he was here. patient underwent bronchoscopy on where he was found to have a lingula with sputum plug. he had a repeat bronchoscopy on at which time he was found to have very thick secretions mixed with blood in the et tube. it was thought that the patient likely had a mucous plug and some aspiration which then led to pulmonary edema and congestive heart failure with bloody secretions. patient had difficulty weaning from the ventilator and ultimately had a trachea on . subsequently he was able to come off of the ventilator and is currently doing well from a respiratory prospective, however, he does require at least q. 4 hour suctioning of his thick bloody secretions which are thought to be due to congestive heart failure, as well as his pneumonia. patient also had a thoracentesis of about 800 cc of straw colored fluid on which improved his breathing parameters and culture data from that fluid was negative. 3. neurological: patient has had a chronic neurological condition over the past six months to one year over which time he has had a function decline and is wheelchair bound at home. he was seen and followed by neurology multiple times during this hospitalization. it is thought that he may have some sort of neurological degenerative disorder at baseline. he definitely has a sensory polyneuropathy and he had an emg during this hospitalization on consistent with icu polyneuropathy, as well as a mild myopathy. patient will need a neurology follow-up as an outpatient for further evaluation. there was some talk of myasthenia , however, this was then thought to be unlikely and further diagnostic work-up was not pursued along these lines. 4. gastrointestinal: patient did have an ileus during this hospital course and has been continued on an aggressive bowel regimen. he had no subsequent problems with this issue. he also had a g tube placed by gastrointestinal on and tolerates his tube feeds at goal at this point. 5. anemia: patient has a history of anemia, as well as a history of gastrointestinal bleed. he was transfused to maintain his hematocrit above 30 during his hospital course. 6. iv access: patient had multiple central lines and a lines during this hospitalization. he currently has a picc line in place that was placed on by interventional radiology. 7. prophylaxis: patient was maintained on subcutaneous heparin prophylaxis, protonix and a bowel regimen during his hospital course. 8. code: patient's code status is full code. 9. disposition: patient is being screened for rehabilitation at this time. dr , naimesh 12.acv dictated by: medquist36 Procedure: Venous catheterization, not elsewhere classified Continuous invasive mechanical ventilation

history of present illness: mr. is a 77-year-old man with a history of coronary artery disease, status post coronary artery bypass graft and multiple stents, history of after a fall related to a multi-factorial gait disorder. he was performed and the patient was rehydrated. the patient did well until he developed hyponatremia during his stay with the neurology service. his sodium was found to be at 122. he was thought to have hyponatremia secondary to the addition of hydrochlorothiazide to his medication regimen. the renal hyponatremia. throughout the course of his hospital stay, the hyponatremia resolved. on , he had an episode of coffee ground emesis with nausea. an nasogastric lavage was performed which demonstrated one liter of coffee grounds which did not clear with lavage. his hematocrit was also found to have decreased from 38 to 32. his systolic blood pressures also dropped from 130 to 90. the family noted about one month of nausea which the patient experienced at night after eating heavy meals and laying down to sleep. he has also complained of a decreased appetite over the past three to four weeks. his nausea was relieved by zantac over-the-counter. he has never had a previous episode of coffee ground emesis. he denies any other melena or bright red blood per rectum. he had a history of stomach problems in his late 20's with a question diagnosis of gastritis seen on a barium swallow. he has no known history of peptic ulcer disease or gastroesophageal reflux disease. on hospital day six, the patient was transferred to the medical intensive care unit for further evaluation. past medical history: 1. coronary artery disease status post coronary artery bypass graft and multiple stents. his primary cardiologist is from cardiology. 2. history of cerebrovascular accident in . 3. multi-factorial gait disorder secondary to polyneuropathy, cervical spondylosis, and cva. he is followed by from neurology. 4. hyperlipidemia (the patient did not

evidence of cord compression. chest x-ray: no evidence of pneumonia. small bilateral pleural effusions and atelectasis with compression/collapse of the basilar left lung associated with an elevated left hemi-diaphragm. hospital course: 1. gastrointestinal. on hospital day six the patient developed coffee ground emesis. he was found to have a hematocrit drop from 36 to 32. he was also found to be slightly hypotensive. decision was made to transfer him to the medical intensive care unit for further care. while in the intensive care unit, the patient underwent an esophagogastroduodenoscopy which revealed grade i esophagitis in the middle third of the esophagus and lower third of the esophagus. blood was also noted in the proximal bulb and second part of the duodenum. epinephrine injection and electrocautery were attempted but hemostasis was unsuccessful. the decision was made to consult interventional radiology so that the patient could undergo a mesenteric angiogram. on the patient underwent a mesenteric angiogram which also involved coil embolization of the gastroduodenal artery. this was successfully completed. the patient tolerated the procedure well with no complications. in addition to the interventional radiology service, the general surgery service was consulted regarding the patient's upper gastrointestinal bleed. the decision was made to defer surgery given that the coil embolization of the patient's gastroduodenal artery was successful. on hospital day #9, the patient was continuing to have no evidence of further rebleeding. his hematocrit was otherwise stable. he did undergo and additional blood transfusion on since his hematocrit was less than 30 in the setting of known coronary artery disease. the post transfusion hematocrit bumped appropriately and was 32.5. in total, the patient received 6 units of packed red blood cells. the patient was continued on protonix 40 mg intravenous twice a day. he was also advanced to a cardiac diet without any difficulty. the patient subsequently was noted to have dysphagia, and bedside evalution was notable for aspiration of liquids. he underwent video swallowing study which was notable for recurrent aspiration felt to be neurological in nature. recommendations were made for thickening and chin tuck which will be included in his transfer orders. 2. cardiovascular. the patient was also noted to have a non-st elevation myocardial infarction which was thought secondary to demand ischemia in the setting of a gastrointestinal bleed. throughout his entire hospital stay, the patient did not complain of any chest pain or short of breath. his ck levels remained within normal limits, though his troponin levels did peak at 20 on . since this time, his troponin's have been trending downward. the patient was continued on a beta-blocker for management of his coronary artery disease. he was not given any aspirin in light of his gastrointestinal bleed. he will likely be restarted on an aspirin regimen in one to two weeks following discharge. the patient also developed paf w/ rvr which responded to prn iv lopressor. because of his recent ugib anti-coagulation will need to be deferred. the decision of when and if to initiate anticoagulation will need to be discussed with both gi and cardiology. 3. renal. the patient's hyponatremia resolved over the course of his hospital stay. he developed no neurological symptoms. his creatinine remained stable and on was 0.4. his potassium and magnesium levels were repleted as necessary. 4. pulmonary. the patient was eventually weaned off his o2 requirement. we encouraged him to use his incentive spirometer to prevent atelectasis. he did exhibit increased secretions in his upper airway. we instituted chest physical therapy to aid in the patient's respiratory status. 5. id: the patient was started on levofloxacin 500 mg q day for a urinary tract infection secondary to coag negative staphylococcus. he will be treated for a total of 7 days. 6. prophylaxis. the patient was administered protonix for ulcer prophylaxis. he was also placed on pneumatic boots for prevention of deep vein thrombosis. discharge diagnosis: 1. upper gastrointestinal bleed. status post coil embolization of the gastroduodenal artery. 2. urinary tract infection. 3. non-st segment elevation myocardial infarction. 4. multi-factorial gait disorder. 5. hyponatremia - now resolved. 6. coronary artery disease. 7. history of cerebrovascular accident. discharge medications: the patient's discharge medications will be found on his page one

history of present illness: this is a 56 year old former anesthesiologist, who has a history of anaplastic oligodendroglioma which was picked up in by screening mri of the head for an infertility workup. the initial abnormalities were in the right temporal and right insular cortices with later involvement of the corpus callosum. he had generalized tonic-clonic seizures shortly thereafter and was started on anticonvulsants. he was treated initially with antineoplaston in and finally had stereotactic brain biopsy in . he came to to see dr. in , and temozolomide chemotherapy was started in . because of lack of response to this, whole brain radiation was begun in and ended on . he appears to have been on chronic steroids since when starting the temozolomide. he was admitted to on for an intracranial hemorrhage seen on radioimaging that was probably radiation changes ultimately. he also was noted to have a leg abscess and hypotension and was seen by neurology and neurosurgery in consultation. to address the hypotension, steroid doses were increased and he was watched in the micu overnight. at that time, he was on lamictal but because a rash on the chest was noted, lamictal was stopped and depakote was increased because the level was subtherapeutic. he had a seizure and dilantin was added, and therefore he was discharged on keppra, dilantin, and depakote. he was seen on by dr. in neuro-oncology and his cell counts were low. for this, he was switched from dilantin to topamax. the plan at that visit was to eventually treat him again with adjuvant temozolomide. he was readmitted from to with encephalopathy from a urinary tract infection, pneumonia, narcotics, and also a few seizures, although i do not know which type these were. he was observed on long-term monitoring, during which he did have some subclinical brief electrographic seizures. this was questionable for muscle artifact at the same time, which was fairly atypical appearing. he was finally tapered off dilantin and sent home on increased keppra, topamax, and dilantin. he was then readmitted on for increased seizure activity. he was residing at rehab in and he was falling down and sent to hospital. a head ct showed no new changes and a chest x-ray showed a persistent right middle and right lower lobe infiltrate, thought to be due to aspiration pneumonia. a valproic acid level was low upon admission and it appears that it has not been therapeutic for a couple of months. past medical history: 1. oligodendroglioma, status post antineoplaston treatment with temozolomide and whole brain radiation. 2. generalized and complex partial seizures, requiring multiple anticonvulsants. 3. infertility. 4. history of a line infection, sepsis, in , related to chemotherapy. 5. adrenal

is on staff at in the division of cardiology. he also has a wife by the name . family history: his parents are alive and well. his mother has a history of depression. his two brothers are healthy. examination upon admission: general: he is an ill-appearing man in no apparent distress. his temperature was 99.4, blood pressure was 120/74, heart rate 92, o2 sat 95 percent on room air. head & neck: normocephalic, atraumatic. he has alopecia. his neck is supple. his mucous membranes are moist. no carotid bruits. cardiovascular: regular rate and rhythm. chest: lungs revealed some decreased breath sounds at the right lower lobe. abdomen: soft and nontender. extremities: no edema or rashes. mental status: he was inattentive and extremely abulic. he did not easily follow commands. his language appeared to be intact in that he spoke in full sentences coherently, but his speech output was greatly reduced. he answered questions appropriately about biographical information and orientation to place. he was able to name a couple of objects and repeat. cranial nerves: he appeared to be neglecting the left hemi- field. the fundi appeared normal. the pupils reacted normally to light. extraocular movements were full without nystagmus initially. facial movement is symmetric. the tongue and the palate were midline. the patient spent most of his time with his gaze towards the right. motor: again, this was difficult due to the patient's inability to follow all commands. the bulk was normal. the tone was increased in the whole left hemi-body.; there initially was a left pronator drift and upon sustained extension of the arms, the left drops more rapidly than the right. there also appeared to be a component of neglect, during which leaving the limb in front of the patient's field of vision did not seem to help him sustain against gravity better than without making his arm more apparent to him. he spontaneously moves the right side much more than the left. coordination was thought to be somewhat more ataxic on the left. it was not clear whether this was due to motor weakness alone, however. reflexes were trace throughout and difficult to elicit. the plantar reflexes were flexor bilaterally. sensation was intact to noxious stimulus in all four extremities. gait and stance were deferred. hospital course by problems: 1. seizures: the patient was admitted to the neurology service with suspected increased seizure activity. his valproic acid level was 37 upon admission and, as mentioned before, had not really been therapeutic in the last several months. the previous recent medical illnesses including the c-diff colitis as well as the pneumonia were thought to be the exacerbating factors for those episodes of increased seizure activity, but it was not clear that these were acute issues upon this admission. although he was on neurontin and keppra, as well as depakote, he was having at least two to three clinical seizures a day on the neurology , which mainly consisted of right gaze deviation with some twitching of the right side of the face. there would also be tonic contracture of the right arm. during the brief episodes which lasted a couple minutes, the patient was not responsive to any commands. after these episodes, he would routinely seem more lethargic than prior. he remained fairly encephalopathic for the majority of the hospital course, which was thought to be multifactorial, in part due to poor seizure control, and potentially sedating effects of keppra. he did not have any significant metabolic or toxic abnormalities. he also did not have any significant systemic infections to account for this. around the fifth hospital day, it was decided to load the patient with phenobarbital orally as efforts to increase his depakote were still not making his frequency of clinical partial seizures reduced. he appeared to be again more sleepy initially with a question of the sedative effect from the phenobarbital, but an eeg done on the day of initiation of phenobarbital did show continuous 1 hz discharges in the right parietal or temporal regions. the extended eeg recording on this day also noted that there was a suspicion of a clinical seizure during the recording, and the eeg did not look changed and still had the persistent discharges, even with the presence of what was thought to be a twitching episode. in general, the rest of the background was very slow and low voltage. he had periodic lateralized epileptiform discharges throughout the recording at various times, which are fairly persistent. because it was felt that the patient was extremely encephalopathic and that the goal of the admission was to try to improve his encephalopathy, an attempt at aggressive seizure control was made and the patient was sent to the neuro icu for intubation and loading with i.v. phenobarbital to bring the level up quickly. he was monitored with extended eegs throughout this course and again showed the same persistent pattern of epileptiform activity at about 1 hz of spike and slow wave, which did not change whenever the patient had a clinical event that was thought to be a partial seizure, for example facial twitching on one-half of the face, usually the right side. the first day after starting i.v. phenobarbital, the patient did not appear to have any more twitching events, and his phenobarbital level was brought up to a range of between high 20s and mid-30's. his depakote level was also meant to be sustained at above a level of 50. meanwhile, he stayed on the same doses of keppra and neurontin. he was eventually sent back from the neuro icu after being successfully extubated. he was again transferred back to the general neurology floor, where he remained more responsive to questions, albeit answering in short phrases but usually appropriately in response to orientation questions to place. in terms of following simple motor commands, he was able to always squeeze his right hand. he would look towards his left after an extended delay, which we interpreted as abulia, in addition to a general slowing in terms of answering questions, which eventually were correct and showed clearly that he comprehended the questions. again, he had in general not much spontaneous motor activity, with the exception of the occasional movement of the right arm to move towards his nasogastric tube. he remained fairly slow, but usually with eyes opened, with not much activity during the day. it was decided at this point that the keppra should be tapered in the event that it was having a sedating effect on the patient. this was slowly tapered starting from 2 grams p.o. b.i.d. by 250 mg p.o. b.i.d. every two to three days. at this point, he is on keppra 1250 mg p.o. b.i.d. the patient did appear to have a better response to the decrease in the keppra while the phenobarbital and depakote were kept on board. on exam currently, he is able to answer appropriately questions regarding orientation. he is also able to appropriately indicate what type of foods he would like to eat. he is also able to appropriately answer questions that are rather insightful regarding his care. for example, with the upcoming placement of a gastrostomy tube, he was able to ask how long the procedure would take, and what type of anesthetic they would use. again, he is rather abulic and there appears not appear to be much increase by way of spontaneous motor activity. he does seem to be more awake at this time. 1. anemia: the patient had a baseline anemia with a hematocrit hovering in the 29 to 31 range. iron studies were checked and this was consistit with an anemia of chronic disease. 1. fluids/electrolytes/nutrition: the patient was fed predominantly through his nasogastric tube. however, on , the patient had a percutaneous endoscopically placed gastrostomy tube done by the gastroenterology service. instructions will be to restart tube feeds if necessary on the day after the gastrostomy tube placement. the patient was able to eat soft foods and required assistance with feeding, given that he appeared mainly to have a lack of motivation to perform the motor activity of eating himself. he was thought by the swallowing team to still be at some risk for aspiration, given that he pocketed foods in his mouth while he swallowed the majority of food items. they recommended a pureed diet with nectar-thickened liquids. it was felt that the patient could enjoy an oral diet, but that the gastrostomy tube would be there for backup nutrition needs, as well as a reliable means of administering critical medications such an anticonvulsants. 1. history of recent c-diff colitis: the patient did not appear to have any more issues with his c-diff colitis and has finished his course of flagyl. his liver function tests were normal throughout the hospital stay. his stool was checked for c-diff again on and this was negative. however, a rectal swab did show vancomycin- resistant enterococcus. 1. oligodendroglioma: the patient's neuro-oncologist was kept up to date during this hospital course, especially with regard to selection of anticonvulsants. he felt particularly that the dilantin should not be tried again because of the patient's history of a possible leukopenic reaction to the dilantin. he did agree with usage of phenobarbital, even though family initially expressed some reservations that that would be too sedating. it was felt that the main goal was seizure control and that although this did not appear to have a significant effect on the eeg recording, seemed to put a stop to what was thought to be clinical seizure activity, which was mainly complex partial in nature. with regard to neuro-imaging and the status of the oligodendroglioma, the most recent mri of compared with an mri in showed some considerable reduction in the diffuse flare hyperintensities present throughout the right temporal, frontal and occipital lobes. in , it was felt that the tumor was infiltrating even further and that there was extension of the tumor across the corpus callosum, both anteriorly and posteriorly. there was also thought to be infiltration of now the left hemisphere and the left medial temporal lobe. these changes still remained present on the mri, but again were thought to be less hyperintense than this mri in . of note, an mr spectroscopy was done in , which showed progressive infiltrative tumors centered in the right temporal lobe, but also involving the right frontal and parietal lobes. as mentioned a cat scan was done initially on admission at - , and this showed no changes consistent with hemorrhage. because the patient had appeared to be having a lot of clinical seizure activity during the first week of hospitalization, it was discussed with dr. and the decadron was increased from 3 mg p.o. b.i.d. to 6 mg p.o. b.i.d. to empirically treat for potentially any mass effect that would have been creating seizures that were difficult to control. the patient is now in the process of having the decadron tapered slowly and is currently at 4 mg p.o. b.i.d. disposition/plan: it was discussed extensively with the family, particularly his brother, dr. , that the patient would be going back to rehab in , and thereafter the family would consider whether the patient recovered enough to the point that he could return home, versus being placed in a nursing home, versus obtaining hospice services. discharge diagnoses: 1. epilepsy, partial seizures, with periodic lateralized

to . hospital course: 1. infectious disease. initial blood cultures grew gram positive cocci in clusters 4/4 bottles. she was continued on vancomycin until oxacillin sensitivities were acquired. she continued to spike fevers through , gentamicin was started for synergy. infectious disease was consulted to evaluate the patient, they recommended serial blood cultures as well as right upper extremity ultrasound. ultrasound revealed a right cephalic vein with thrombophlebitis, no evidence of an abscess or fluid collection. repeat blood cultures were negative. she was also evaluated with a transesophageal echocardiogram for endocarditis. she was discharged with a picc line to rehabilitation in order to receive outpatient oxacillin for a total of 4 weeks after the last negative blood culture. 2. cardiac. on she presented to the emergency department with electrocardiogram changes as noted and a troponin of 7.5 consistent with myocardial infarction. serial cardiac enzymes trended downward. an echocardiogram was done which revealed focal hypokinesis of the apical free wall of the right ventricle as well as a mild regional left ventricular systolic dysfunction, left hypokinesis of the distal septum, inferior and apical walls. her ejection fraction was noted to be 40% heparin was not started due to her recent intracranial surgery however, she was placed on a beta-blocker, ace inhibitor and aspirin. after three weeks from her postoperative date the plan is to consider anti-coagulation given the upper extremity clot. 3. pulmonary. the patient has a history of asthma, treated with theophylline and albuterol. she also has a history of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease with an fev 1/fvc ratio of 63% she will continue her theophylline and albuterol and start an atrovent inhaler. 4. fluids, electrolytes and nutrients: on admission she had a decrease k of 2.1, as well as decreased magnesium and phosphate. her electrolytes were repleted. she will need her electrolytes followed as an outpatient as she will be continued on lasix and theophylline. 5. vascular/heme: while in house she was evaluated by the vascular surgery team and they did not feel surgical removal of the septic thrombus would be necessary. they recommended treatment with warm compresses to her right arm and elevation of the arm. she was also worked up for normocytic anemia and iron studies are pending at the time of discharge. according to vascular surgery the cephalic vein clot is not proximal enough to require anticoagulation although this could still be considered. she should have a upper extrmity ultrasound in weeks to evaluate for progression of the clot. discharge status: to rehabilitation. discharge condition: stable. discharge diagnosis: 1. septic thrombophlebitis right

be hypoglycemic along with combative and altered. he was intubated, sedated and transfered to the for further evaluation. at the time of transfer, he was admitted to micu at which time he remained intubated but became more interactive. the micu team was alerted that cultures from the osh grew gpcs in pairs and chains which ended up being strep mitis. the patient was initially treated with vancomycin and then coverage was narrowed to cefazolin. he was extubated without difficulty and has been stable from a respiratory standpoint for 24 hours. his mental status was attributed to hepatic encephalopathy in the setting of sepsis and he has been treated with lactulose and rifaximin. . upon arrival to the floor vitals were 97.0 155/88 66 20 100ra glucose 188. the patient was able to

was admitted with altered mental status and streptococcal bacteremia. 1. bacteremia- original cultures from showed strep mitis, but subsequent speciation showed strep sanguinus and salivarius species, all of which are consistent with oral flora, as patient has poor dentition. we obtained a panorex dental x-ray to better evaluate infectious foci in his oropharynx. he was treated with a 7-day course of cefazolin which was changed to iv ceftriaxone for ease of dosing upon discharge, for a total treatment duration of 14 days. infectious disease service was consulted regarding the treatment of this microorganism. a tte was obtained to rule out endocarditis, and there were no obvious vegetations. a tee was not pursued due to low clinical probability of endocarditis given lack of adequate duke's criteria. he was discharged with antibiotic course to be administered through picc line. 2. hepatic encephalopathy- mr. was quite encephalopathic on admission, and his mental status improved slowly each day on lactulose and rifaxamin. at the time of discharge, he was mentating at his baseline. 3. metabolic acidosis- chronic metabolic acidosis with partially compensated respiratory alkalosis as per gas and daily labs. could be partially due to volume depletion from greatly increased stool output from lactulose, as patient was hypokalemica and bicarb depleted. renal was consulted and recommended fluid challenge. he was also given albumin and bicarbonate with some improvement in lab values, but this derangement appears chronic. medications on admission: 1. hydrocortisone 10 mg po

fracture. ct pelvis w/contrast study date of 6:00 pm impression: 1. stable appearance of the transplanted liver with markedly dilated portal veins. no thrombus is present. 2. stable splenomegaly, collaterals, and worsening intra-abdominal ascites. 3. mild-to-moderate layering right pleural effusion with compressive atelectasis. development of plate-like atelectasis left lower lobe. 4. kidneys without hydronephrosis and nonspecific stranding. at the lower pole of the left kidney, a single non-obstructive calculus is remaining measuring 5-6 mm. 5. segmental wall thickening and mural edema of the sigmoid colon, nonspecific in the setting of ascites. mild uncomplicated colitis cannot be excluded. no rim-enhancing lesions, pneumatosis or extraluminal air. no evidence of bowel obstruction. . mr l spine w/o contrast 1. increased intrinsic signal abnormality within the l2-3 disc with surrounding endplate signal changes since the previous mri of . subtle soft tissue prominence is also identified, but no definite fluid collection is seen. no evident paraspinal soft tissue prominence seen. these findings could be due to advancing degenerative change or due to low-grade infection. given the clinical suspicion of infection, further evaluation with repeat lumbar spine study with gadolinium is recommended. given patient's low egfr, a consent could be obtained and, clinically, it should be determined whether the study is important for any decision making. 2. multilevel degenerative changes are identified as above with spinal stenosis at l3-4 and l4-5 levels as well as at l2-3 level. . ct abdomen/pelvis impression: 1. right-sided pleural effusion, unchanged compared with the previous study. 2. moderate-to-large ascites, unchanged compared with previous study. 3. no reaccumulation of the retroperitoneal fluid collection which was previously drained. brief hospital course: the patient is an 56 year old male with hepatitis c cirrhosis/hcc s/p liver transplant () with recurrent decompensated hepatitis c cirrhosis, esrd on hd, diabetes mellitus type ii, who was admitted for acute on chronic low back pain and was found to have coag-negative staph bacteremia and l2-3 discitis / osteomyelitis. . initial - : . # gpc bactermia: he has had several prior episodes of bacteremia requiring removal of his hd catheter. blood culture from his hd line on grew coag negative staph. spinal plain films from his admission on were unrevealing. ct abdomen pelvis on showed no acute findings concerning for infection. his hd catheter was removed on after an early hd session. noncontrast mri on showed possible low grade discitis at l2-3. multiple consecutive blood cultures from to grew coagulase negative staph. his continued bacteremia was concerning for a persistent source of infection. tte and tee showed no evidence of endocarditis or paravalvular abscess. id was consulted and recommended an 8 week antibiotic course. he was treated with vancomycin following hd protocol from through without clearing the bacteremia, at which point he was switched to daptomycin. gallium and bone scans showed no evidence of infection except for the region of discitis at l2-3. his daptomycin dose was increased from 500 mg q48h to 650 mg q48h on per id recs for 8 week course to be completed with last dose on per id. a new tunneled hd catheter was placed on . he has subsequent clinical deterioration with new low grade fevers to 100.0 on and 100.1 on , blood culture positive for gpcs on , and worsening back pain with new radiation to the buttocks. lumbar spine plain film on showed progressive destructive changes. lumbar spine mri with contrast on showed increased collapse of the superior endplate of l3 and an epidural soft tissue mass spanning l2 and l3, which most likely reflects a phlegmon and causes moderate to severe canal encroachment. he received dialysis immediately after the mri study and again the next day. his picc line was pulled and the tip sent for culture. his hd line was pulled on after dialysis. ortho spine was consulted regarding the possible need for surgical debridement of the phlegmon. patient chose to pursue surgery. . # left flank erythema: he had significant leakage from a prior paracentesis site noted on with some flank swelling from subcutaneous fluid. it was sutured on and stopped leaking. a few days later on , his left flank was noted to have increased swelling, erythema, pruritis, and tenderness. he has continued to have symptoms in this area. the itching is fairly well controlled with sarna lotion. abdominal wall us on did not identify any drainable fluid collections. . # back pain: he has acute on chronic back pain, which was his initial reason for presenting to the ed. prior mri on showed lower lumbar levoscoliosis with severe spinal canal stenosis and severe degenerative disc, endplate, and facet joint disease. spine xray on admission did not show any acute fracture. ct abdomen and pelvis did not show any acute changes. a pain service consult was called and did not believe that a procedural intervention would be helpful, though tens may be useful as an outpatient. noncontrast mri on showed possible low grade discitis at l2-3. later gallium and bone scans were consistent with an infection at this location. his back pain on was significantly worse after walking to the bathroom and he required additional pain meds for the first time in many days. his oxycontin dose was increased to 20 mg po bid on . his back pain has worsened since then with new radiation to the buttocks. . # altered mental status: he was in grade iii encephalopathy on transfer to the liver service, stuporous and unable to give more than single word answers to questions. he has cleared significantly since admission, and was fairly clear even during his active bacteremia. his initial ms changes were most likely due to medication effects (received dilaudid 1 mg iv and lorazepam 3 mg iv total over 24 hours for back pain). infection was likely contributing, particularly given his associated leukocytosis with left shift and persistent gpc bacteremia. baseline hepatic encephalopathy from from decompensated liver disease was also a likely contributor. diagnostic paracentesis on admission showed no evidence of sbp, and subsequent therapeutic paracentesis has also showed no evidence of sbp. he has remained quite clear since his initial presentation. he was continued on his home regimen of lactulose and rifaximin for most of his stay. . # hyponatremia: he was hyponatremic on admission with na 125, which largely resolved after hd. it is likely due to his underlying cirrhosis, but siadh from severe pain may also have played a role. he has been mildly hyponatremic at various times during his admission. . # esld: he was transplanted in for hcv cirrhosis, with subsequent hcv recurrence and cirrhosis of the transplanted liver. his course has been complicated by esophageal varices, coagulopathy, encephalopathy, and refractory ascites. his meld was 33 on admission. it has improved to the high 20s during the course of his stay. he was continued on pantoprazole and propranolol per his home regimen. . # liver transplant history: he was previously on tacrolimus 0.5 mg po bid. this was decreased to 0.5 mg daily on , and further decreased to 0.5 mg every other day on . his goal level was set at <5 and his tactolimus doses were held briefly. his tacro level was 3.9 on and tacrolimus was restarted at 0.5 mg every other day. his levels have since dropped below 2. . # adrenal insufficiency: he has a history of adrenal insufficiency and is on chronic hydrocortisone 10 mg po qam and 5 mg po qhs. he did not require stress dose steroids during this admission, though it was considered initially. . # diabetes mellitus, type ii: he was previously well controlled on his home regimen of nph 55 units and humalog sliding scale. his glucose levels have been labile recently, likely due to the changes in his dialysis schedule, dietary changes, and the stress of infection. no changes were made to his insulin regimen. . # esrd: he is usually on a mwf hemodialysis schedule. he had an early session on prior to hd catheter removal and an hd holiday. his electrolytes were closely monitored and he had back to back sessions on and . he was started on calcitriol on based on his elevated pth level of 135 from . his phosphate levels have been mildly elevated, and he was started on sevelamer 800 mg po tid. he was also started on nephrocaps. a new tunneled hd catheter was placed on . he had dialysis three days in a row from through . he then returned to a mwf schedule. with his recurrent bacteremia on , his new tunneled catheter was pulled on . he has tolerated the disruptions in his dialysis schedule well, without any significant problems. to spine surgery, patient had temporary line placed on and received dialysis on and . . # depression: paroxetine was continued per his home regimen. . # nutrition: he was kept on a low sodium, diabetic diet. after his hd catheter was pulled, he was temporarily placed on a more restrictive diet. these restrictions were later lifted after it was clear he could tolerate a more regular diet despite his disrupted hd schedule. po intake was encouraged and he was provided ensure supplements and beneprotein with meals. he was seen by nutrition who recommended dobbhoff placement and initiation of tube feeds which he tolerated well. . sicu course: patient underwent spine surgery for debridement of l2-l3 osteomyelitis on . admitted to surgical icu afterwards, intubated. difficulty weaning off ventilator for one week due to fluid overload. received cvvh but eveually transitioned to hd. required pressors from - . post-pyloric dubhoff tube placed. treated empirically with zosyn for vap. post-pyloric dubhoff placed and tubefeeds initiated. wound culture from spine grew coagulase negative staphylococcus resistent to daptomycin, switched to linezolid at id recommendation. placed on hydrocortisone given known adrenal insufficiency. transferred to the floor on . . - course # 2: on the floor, patient was initially afebrile with no leukocytosis. he was continued on linezolid and ciprofloxacin was started empirically for sbp prophylaxis. therapeutic and diagnostic paracentesis were performed. negative for sbp. ct abdomen/pelvis with contrast was obtained to look for retroperitoneal bleed, which was negative. there was a pararenal collection of fluid which was drained and culture negative. multiple paracentesis were negative for infection, but given continual leukocytosis, fever, and mental status changes, patient was kept on linezolid, ceftriaxone, and po vancomycin for broad spectrum coverage. his continued to develop encephalopathy and lactulose doses had to be closely titrated. patient was continued on dialysis. he worked with physical therapy to regain strength and made minimal progress. . transplant surgery/sicu course patient was transferred again to the icu on under the transplant team for worsening lactic acidosis up to 12.6. he had a ct scan demonstrating no evidence of bowel ischemia and stable ascites. linezolid was d/c'd for possible association with lactic acidosis and was changed to tigecycline for sbp coverage. he was started on cvvh on after transfer and the lactate improved to 5.6. upon transfer to the icu pt had mild bloody emesis, so an ngt lavage was performed and was positive. an egd on demonstrated hypertensive gastropathy with friable mucosa, but no local site to intervene. his hct was stable after transfusing 3u prbc before the egd. he needed to be intubated for the egd and was kept intubated for aspiration risks given the amounts of blood in the stomach. on a postpyloric dobhoff feeding tube was placed. the cvvh filter was clogged and lactate went up to 11.2, but then decreased after resuming cvvh. on vancomycin/cefepime was started as wbc increased from 6.1 to 13.9. a decision was made to take him off the liver and the kidney transplantion lists, as patient seemed too ill to be a candidate. after long discussions with the family about his poor prognosis, patient was made dnr/dni on . cvvh continued. on patient was made , pt was extubated and died on at 5:49 am. autopsy was denied by the family. medications on admission: b complex-vitamin c-folic acid ciprofloxacin 750mg qsunday hydrocortisone 10mg in am, 5mg in pm humalog sliding scale insulin lactulose 60cc by mouth

allergies: patient recorded as having no known allergies to drugs attending: chief complaint: fever & chills major surgical or invasive procedure: intubation/extubation central line placement a-line placement midline placement history of present illness: mr. is a 73 year-old man with a history of recent turp () who presents with respiratory failure and uti. . per family, the patient was generally feeling well until one day prior to admission when he "wasn't feeling that great" and felt as though he was "coming down with something". a slight fever (100) was noted along with chills. took tylenol and dayquil. additionally noted a burning sensation and blood in urine. additionally noted a cough since last week with sputum, no blood. . regarding his breathing, the family felt that this was generally unchanged. he has had increasing doe, worsening over the last few months. he gets sob after one flight of stairs. he does not get chest pains. family has also noted significant weight over last few months, mostly in abdomen. . ems reports show an initial bp of 124/103 with a rr of 30 and o2 of 89% on room air. their notes indicate that the patient was "sitting in bed shaking violently. states he can't breath." . in the ed, bp was initially 224/91, hr 120, rr 35, 99% on unclear amount of oxygen. spiked to 104.8. blood pressures trended down (200s to 80s systolic). when an ekg showed inferior st-elevations, a code stemi was called. before taking the patient to the cath lab, it was noted that bps were unequal so a cta was obtained. this was negative for dissection and initially was thought to show a pe. soon thereafter, the patient was intubated with a propofol gtt started. was also given labetolol iv for hypertension. soon after, blood pressure fell to 118/56, then to 80s systolic. a total of 5+ liters of normal saline were given, along with the following medications: - aspirin 325mg - zofran - levaquin 750mg iv past medical history: 1. diabetes 2. dyslipidemia 3. hypertension 4. benign prostatic hypertrophy 5. arthritis 6. gout 7. bladder stone social history: previous history of smoking, quit 10 years ago. not currently drinking. worked as a cook. family history: non-contributory. physical exam: vitals - t 100.1, bp 138/48, hr 98, ac 600/16, peep 5, fio2 100% gen - intubated. does not respond to commands but is moving all extremities. heent - surgical pupil on the right; 3mm -> 2mm on left. cv - difficult to hear heart sounds. no obvious murmurs. pulm - no rales/wheeze. abd - soft. non-tender. guaiac + per ed. ext - warm. no edema. pertinent results: admission labs urine benzos, barbs, opiates, cocaine, amphet, mthdne negative serum asa, etoh, , , tricyc negative . ua: 1.017 / 6.5 leuk mod bld lg nitr pos prot 500 glu 250 ket neg . lactate:4.3 . : 56 lip: serum acetmnphn 8.5 . trop-t: <0.01 . pt: 13.7 ptt: 27.6 inr: 1.2 fibrinogen: 869 . wbc: 9.6 plt: 296 hct: 41.7 . ecg: sinus tachycardia with long pr interval. st-elevations in ii/ii/f with q-waves in same leads. q-waves are old. . cxr (): respiratory motion blurs the hemidiaphragms. grossly, no consolidation or edema is evident. a tortuous atherosclerotic aorta is identified. the cardiac silhouette is within normal limits for size. no definite effusion or pneumothorax is seen. the osseous structures demonstrate a relatively short segment levoconcave curvature of the mid and lower thoracic spine with associated osteophyte changes. . cta (): 1. no evidence of aortic dissection. 2. equivocal filling defect in a right upper lobe subsegmental branch of the pulmonary artery. no evidence of pulmonary embolism. 3. enlarged pulmonary artery may reflect an element of underlying pulmonary hypertension. 4. mild upper lobe centrilobular emphysematous changes. 5. markedly atrophic left kidney with associated dystrophic calcification and extensive cortical thinning and scar. correlation with prior surgical history and medical history recommended. 6. mild right renal hydronephrosis. 7. fatty infiltration of the liver. 8. air in the bladder is likely related to introduction of foley balloon catheter, but clinical correlation is recommended. brief hospital course: assessement/plan: 73 yo m s/p turp procedure c/b uti resistant to ciprofloxacin, developed urosepsis requiring intubation and icu stay, also developed atrial flutter this admission. . # urosepsis due to e. coli: urosepsis was felt to be secondary to recent procedure, which placed patient at high risk for uti. he received cipro post-procedure but on presentation had a markedly positive ua. urine & blood cultures grew e.coli. blood cultures with e.coli were sensitive to zosyn and ceftriaxone but resistant to cipro; ceftriaxone was given. changed antibiotics to ceftriaxone -> cefazolin iv -> keflex po, currently started on meropenem iv on day of discharge. changed from keflex to meropenem due to possibility of ain, rising creatinine as well as urine with eos. will need to complete 2 week course of antibiotics with 5 additional days of meropenem. . # atrial flutter: the patient had developed atrial flutter with poor rate control, without prior history. increased po metoprolol to 100 tid for rate control. the patient was started on heparin in the icu, then bridging with lovenox to coumadin. . ep consulted about treatment, after discussion with family, family wanted to pursue option of anticoagulation prior to cardioversion. they did not want tee and cardioversion during this hospitalization. inr 3.1 on day of discharge, decreased coumadin from 5 -> 4mg on day of discharge, holding tonight's dose. pt will need frequent inr checks until stabilized. pt will need to follow up with general cardiology 2weeks after discharge for managment of atrial flutter as well as cad. . #

history of present illness: this is a 47-year-old male with a history of two myocardial infarctions and two stents in his left circumflex who presented to the with chest pain and inferior st elevations on electrocardiogram. he received aspirin in the ambulance en route to the hospital as well as three nitroglycerin which improved his chest pain. he was started on heparin and aggrastat drips and transferred to for cardiac catheterization. in retrospect, the patient gave a history of one week of progressive intermittent chest pain as well as dyspnea on exertion. upon arrival to this hospital he was transferred to the catheterization laboratory where a left heart catheterization showed 100% discrete proximal circumflex in-stent restenosis. this received dotter, but angiography showed residual thrombus. the patient then became hypotensive requiring dopamine and then had ventricular tachycardia requiring cardioversion. an intra-aortic balloon pump was placed transiently and then removed after catheterization. a lidocaine bolus was given, and a drip was started. attention was again turned to the lesion in the circumflex artery. a percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty was performed, then a 3.5 mm x 15 mm stent was placed between the two existing stents. finally, a percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty was performed along the entire area and inside the distal stent. final angiography revealed no residual stenosis and normal flow. the patient was transferred to the coronary intensive care unit for further monitoring and care. past medical history: 1. coronary artery disease and myocardial infarction in . catheterization in showed a 40% proximal left circumflex lesion and a 90% middle left circumflex lesion that received a stent. a catheterization was again performed in for chest pain that revealed a 40% proximal left circumflex lesion without change and a patent stent to the middle circumflex. a stress test was performed in that provoked anginal symptoms as well as 1-mm st depressions in the lateral precordium, and there nonspecific st-t wave changes in the inferior leads. nuclear images showed moderate-to-severe lateral and inferior wall defects with an ejection fraction of 33%. this prompted another cardiac catheterization in that revealed that the proximal left circumflex lesion had progressed to 90%. this was stented. one month prior to admission (in ), the patient had another cardiac catheterization that showed a 40% to 50% lesion at the first diagonal, a 40% lesion in the distal circumflex, and a 60% lesion at the second obtuse marginal. both left circumflex stents showed mild (less than 30%) in-stent restenosis. 2. hypertension. 3. chronic pancreatitis induced by ethanol, status post pancreatic

was 1.6. creatine kinase was 3418, with a mb of 365, with an index of 10.7. radiology/imaging: electrocardiogram showed st elevations in leads ii, iii, and avf with a t wave inversion in leads i and l as well as a 1-mm st elevation in lead avl. st depressions were also seen in v1 through v5, and the rhythm was atrial fibrillation. after catheterization, the st segment changes had resolved. there were st-t wave changes in leads i and l that had also resolved. there was persistent t wave inversions in the inferior leads. there were peaked t waves in leads v2 to v3. the st changes in the precordium had resolved. there were small q waves inferiorly. impression: this is a 47-year-old male with left circumflex disease, prior myocardial infarction, status post two stents to the left circumflex, who presents with an st elevation myocardial infarction. upon cardiac catheterization, there was in-stent restenosis seen at the proximal left circumflex stent. an angioplasty was performed and another stent was placed in between the two existing stents with final angiography revealing normal flow. the catheterization was complicated by cardiac arrest which was treated with cardioversion times three, resulting in a normal sinus rhythm. of note, the patient had been in atrial fibrillation prior to catheterization. he transiently required dopamine and intra-aortic balloon pump, which were both discontinued prior to transfer to the coronary care unit for continued care. hospital course by system: 1. cardiovascular: coronary artery disease: aggrastat was continued until 18 hours after catheterization. he was continued on aspirin, folate, multivitamin, beta blocker, and ace inhibitor. we recommend that he continue plavix for life given his recurrent thrombosis of his left circumflex stents. there is a strong possibility that he has a so-called "aspirin nonresponder." despite some post procedure chest pain, the patient's creatine kinases continued to trend downward, and relatively high creatine kinases were considered a function of his cardioversion. of note, the ck/mb index remained within the normal range after catheterization. electrocardiograms were unchanged after catheterization throughout this admission. the patient's lipid profile was checked, and this was extremely favorable. the total cholesterol was 82, with triglycerides of 39, a high-density lipoprotein of 43, and a low-density lipoprotein of 31. in terms of his left ventricular function, an echocardiogram was performed that revealed an ejection fraction of 40%. we recommend that he continue on ramipril. of note, the patient's blood pressure was approximately 90 to 110 systolic over 70 to 80 for the majority of his hospitalization. in terms of the patient's rate and rhythm, he was admitted with a rhythm of atrial fibrillation. after he was shocked out of his ventricular fibrillation arrest he was in normal sinus rhythm for the remainder of his hospitalization. a lidocaine drip was weaned off within 12 hours of his transfer to the coronary care unit. 2. fluids/electrolytes/nutrition: the patient was continued with a cardiac diet. electrolytes were followed and repleted as necessary. 3. renal: the patient had a normal blood urea nitrogen and creatinine during this hospitalization. 4. gastrointestinal: we continued the patient on protonix, pancrease, and his pain regimen for pancreatitis. 5. hematology: the patient had a hematocrit of 27.7 on the evening of admission, so he was transfused 1 unit of blood. his hematocrit continued to increase daily throughout the remainder of his hospitalization. medications on discharge: 1. aspirin 325 mg p.o. q.d. 2. bisoprolol 2.5 mg p.o. q.d. 3. ramipril 2.5 mg p.o. q.d. 4. lipitor 10 mg p.o. q.d. 5. zoloft

tricuspid regurgitation. a cardiac cath done in showed minimal coronary artery disease. she had been admitted twice to the cardiothoracic service before, but was sent home for a yeast infection under her breast and an infection of the left forearm. she presented again on the day of admission, one day prior to her surgery for physical evaluation. past medical history: significant for rheumatic heart disease, obesity, aortic stenosis, mitral regurgitation, osteoarthritis, cataracts, atrial fibrillation, congestive heart failure, neuropathy, and rheumatoid arthritis. past surgical history: significant for tonsillectomy and hernia repair. she has no known drug allergies. meds at home: lasix 40 every day, diltiazem 30 q.i.d., potassium chloride 40 every day, coumadin 4 every day, and protonix 40 every day. social history: lives in with her son, still lives independently, remote tobacco history and rare alcohol use. family history: no significant history of cad. physical exam: weight 103.9 kg, temperature 95.6, heart rate 64 sinus rhythm, blood pressure 135/56, respiratory rate 18, o2 sat 97 percent on room air. in general no acute distress. neurological alert and oriented x3, nonfocal exam. cardiac showed regular rate and rhythm. respiratory was clear to auscultation bilaterally. abdomen was soft, nontender, nondistended with no hepatosplenomegaly. extremities warm and well perfused with bilateral lower extremity edema. laboratory data: pt 17.1, inr 1.9, sodium 142, potassium 4.1, chloride 106, co2 27, bun 26, creatinine 1.0, glucose 123, white count 9.2, hematocrit 39.2, platelets 301,000. chest x-ray showed mild cardiomegaly with no chf, consolidations or effusions. the patient was begun on a heparin infusion. she was typed and screened and was prepared for the operating room. due to her elevated inr the patient received subcutaneous vitamin k. on the patient was brought to the operating room. please see the or report for full details. in summary she underwent an avr, mvr and modified mays. avr was with a number 23 valve. the mvr was a number 25 valve. her bypass time was 196 minutes with a crossclamp time of 165 minutes. she tolerated the operation well and was transferred from the operating room to the cardiothoracic intensive care unit. at the time of transfer the patient was in sinus rhythm at 92 beats per minute, with a mean arterial pressure of 85 and a cvp of 18. she had epinephrine at 0.01 mcg per kilogram per minute, propofol at 40 mcg per kilogram per minute, and nipride at 0.2 mcg per kilogram per minute. the patient did well in the immediate postoperative period. propofol was discontinued. her anesthesia was reversed, however, she was slow to fully awaken from her anesthesia and she remained intubated throughout the day of her surgery. on postoperative day one the patient remained hemodynamically stable, requiring a nipride infusion to maintain blood pressure control. she was weaned from the ventilator and successfully extubated. by the end of the day the patient was begun on oral agents. her nipride infusion was discontinued. on postoperative day two she remained hemodynamically stable. she was begun on beta blockade as well as diuresis. her coumadin was restarted. swan ganz catheter was removed as were her chest tubes, however, the patient went back into atrial fibrillation and it was, therefore, decided to keep her in the intensive care unit for closer hemodynamic monitoring. on postoperative day three the patient continued to do well. the electrophysiology service was consulted regarding her atrial fibrillation following mays. she was begun on an amiodarone infusion and again she remained in the intensive care unit. she remained hemodynamically stable on postoperative day four. finally on postoperative day five the patient's temporary pacing wires were removed and she was transferred to the floor for continuing postoperative care and cardiac rehabilitation. once on the floor the patient was slowly progressing in her activity level. screening was begun for potential transfer to rehabilitation. on postoperative day seven the patient began to complain of increasing nausea as well as diarrhea. stools were sent at that time for c. diff and she was begun on empiric flagyl. the following morning the patient had a white count of 34,000. she was pan cultured and had abdominal films done at that time. general surgery was consulted. the general surgery service felt the patient had a toxic megacolon. she was brought to the operating room where she underwent a partial colectomy with ileostomy and as well as a cholecystectomy, following which the patient was transferred back to the cardiothoracic intensive care unit. throughout the remainder of the hospital course she was followed by both the hepatobiliary pancreatic surgery service as well as the cardiothoracic surgical service. she spent four days in the intensive care unit following her abdominal surgery, and was then transferred to the floor for continuing postoperative care. over the next week the patient was gradually transitioned from tpn to a p.o. diet. activity level was increased with the assistance of the nursing staff as well as physical therapy staff. her antibiotic coverage was tailored and on postoperative day 20 from her cardiac surgery, 11 from her abdominal surgery, it was decided the patient was stable and ready to be discharged to rehabilitation. at the time of this dictation the patient's physical exam is as follows: temperature 97.3, heart

the following day he cardiac catheterization which revealed severe three vessel coronary artery disease - please see result section for details. given that his coronary anatomy was more suitable for surgical revascularization, cardiac surgery was consulted and further evaluation was performed. in anticipation for surgery, plavix was subseqently held. an echocardiogram was notable for moderate mitral regurgitation and an ejection fraction of 20% - see result section for further details. carotid ultrasound found normal internal carotid arteries while vein mapping revealed suitable saphenous vein. given chest x-ray findings revealed mediastinal lymphadenopathy, the pulmonary service was consulted and a chest ct scan was obtained which showed marked symmetric lymphadenopathy of the mediastinum and the hila. lymph node biopsy was recommended along with bronchoscopy/bronchoaveolar lavage. preoperative course was otherwise uneventful, and he remained stable on intravenous therapy. on , mr. coronary artery bypass grafting and mitral valve repair, along with excision of paratracheal lymph node and bronchoscopy with bronchoaveolar lavage. please see operative notes for details. given his inpatient stay was greater than 24 hours, vancomycin was given for perioperative antibiotic coverage. he was transferred in critical but stable condition to the surgical intensive care unit, on inotropes and vasoactive medications. a bilateral alveolar lavage was performed and a subsequent gram stain revealed gram negative rods and gram positive cocci, which he was placed on broad spectrum antibiotic coverage until the culture was finalized. the culture revealed oropharyngeal flora and antibiotics were discontinued. he was weaned off inotropes and vasoactive medications, started on lasix for diuresis, and was extubated on post operative day two. he remained in te intensive care unit for blood glucose management and was consulted. when blood glucose stable he was

history of present illness: this is a 41-year-old male who presented with new shortness of breath in early of this year. an echocardiogram at an outside hospital showed new dilated cardiomyopathy. he first noted symptoms on approximately the day weekend. he described his symptoms as similar to asthmatic symptoms. this progressed to severe orthopnea, a symptom he had no previously had causing him to sit upright and gasp for breath at night. he used his friend's albuterol nebulizers with minimal improvement. he denies lower extremity edema. his shortness of breath at this point was severely limiting his activity, walking 20 to 30 feet with severe dyspnea. he felt better leaning forward. he also describes decreased appetite. at the beginning of he saw his primary care physician who felt he was having an asthma exacerbation and gave him intravenous solu-medrol, and the patient relayed a vague story of going into sinus tachycardia with a heart rate in the 120s, a fingerstick in the 500s, been sent to the emergency department and admitted to hospital. a chest x-ray showed a question of a left upper lobe pneumonia. he was given intravenous antibiotics; ceftriaxone and azithromycin. he was discharged from that hospital on . an echocardiogram during that admission showed global hypokinesis, 4-chamber dilatation, an ejection fraction of 10% to 15%. there were no previous echocardiograms. the patient denies antecedent upper respiratory infection or recent diarrheal illness. no rash. no joint pains. denies a history of exertional chest pain, previous orthopnea, or paroxysmal nocturnal dyspnea, or lower extremity edema. in the week between discharge from hospital and admission to he felt better with decreased dyspnea on exertion, increased exercise tolerance, and decreased lower extremity edema. his blood pressure previously had been 130s to 190s; he would take it at work. his cholesterol status is unknown. past medical history: 1. newly diagnosed dilated cardiomyopathy. 2. moderate mitral regurgitation. 3. global hypokinesis. 4. newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes. 5. elevated liver function tests. 6. asthma;

history of present illness: the patient is a 71 year old retired medical doctor who had percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty , for coronary artery disease. on workup, it was discovered that he had advanced t2 no distal esophageal gastric cancer, esophageal adenocarcinoma. past medical history: 1. coronary artery disease, percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty times two, no history of myocardial infarction. 2. chronic atrial fibrillation. 3. hypertension. family history: noncontributory. social history: he is an ex-smoker of greater than twenty years. he denied ethanol abuse. allergies: questionable allergy to penicillin. physical examination: on admission, physical examination was unremarkable. hospital course: he was taken to the operating room on , for an esophagogastrectomy using approach by dr. and dr. , assistants dr. and dr. , general endotracheal anesthesia. please see the operative note for full details. postoperatively, the patient was doing well. he had an epidural and we were using lopressor for rate control and he was in the intensive care unit at that time. he was on vancomycin and flagyl postoperatively. on postoperative day one, the patient was transferred from the post anesthesia care unit to the floor. acute pain service was involved with reverse pain control. on , at 4:00 p.m. the patient's blood pressure dropped to 70/40 with the heart rate in the 100s. electrocardiogram showed atrial fibrillation. urine output had dropped to 15 ccs per hour since 7:00 a.m. that morning. he was bolused. at 2:00 a.m. on , the patient went to cardiac arrest and was resuscitated and was sent to the intensive care unit. central lines were placed and the patient was in grave condition. the patient's kidney function was slightly affected as he went into some degree of renal failure with a rising creatinine which resolved toward his discharge date. the patient was intubated and sedated in the unit. on the evening of , the patient was extubated and was alert and confused and was again in atrial fibrillation. the patient remained in the unit anticoagulated on heparin with chest tubes and nasogastric tube. the patient's creatinine at this point had decreased to 1.5 from a high of 2.2. the patient on postoperative day five, , had recovered well and was transferred to the floor where rate control was an issue. the patient was getting tube feeds and was npo. pca was discontinued. foley was discontinued and central line was discontinued on . on , it was noted that the patient's white count had increased and his back wound was dehiscing. the middle third was opened and drainage came out. he was packed with gauze. the patient was continued on vancomycin, levofloxacin and flagyl. the patient was confused and a code purple was declared on , and psychiatry was involved. his haldol was changed and adjusted. heparin was discontinued on the patient on , and coumadin was begun since his inr was now therapeutic. for the rest of the stay and postoperative day number nine, we continued the antibiotics. his chest tube was put to water seal. the patient's chest tube was removed. on , inferior aspect of the abdominal wound was showing some drainage and the patient's diet was being advanced and we continued wet to dry dressings at this point. however, the patient was then made npo. the patient's tube feeds continued. cat scan was done on the patient and showed question of a leak. on , the ct scan questioned a leak, however, no direct leak was seen as some retromediastinal and supradiaphragmatic air and debris was seen. the patient had a nasogastric tube placed by fluoroscopy on 0/25/02, and nutrition was once again involved as he was made npo as previously stated. electrolytes were repleted. the patient's inr was continuously adjusted to be 2.0 to 2.5 and lovenox was temporarily used for two days until for a moment when his inr dropped below 2.0. at the patient's behest, a medical consultation was called on , with regard to controlling his atrial fibrillation. an echocardiogram was done to check his left ventricular function and right ventricular function which came back normal. we continued vancomycin, levofloxacin and flagyl. barium swallow ct was done on , which showed the question of a leak as well. however, no direct leak was seen. the patient was transfused one unit of packed red blood cells to adjust for hematocrit which had fallen to 22.0 range and lopressor was changed to 50 mg p.o. t.i.d. in an attempt to control his atrial fibrillation. during this time of admission on , and onward, we were using lasix to help diurese the patient. the patient was complaining of edema and was noted to be puffy and likely fluid overloaded. the patient had an episode of ventricular tachycardia on , which was nonsustained and seven beats long and a cardiology electrophysiology consultation was called. they suggested increasing his lopressor and discontinuing the diltiazem which we did. they suggested a blood transfusion, discontinuing diltiazem and lopressor to be 100 mg t.i.d. which we did. the patient's nasogastric tube was discontinued on , had a ct scan which showed unlikely to be a current leak since no communication was seen between the collections and esophageal and gastric anastomosis. the patient was allowed to have a clear liquid diet which he tolerated.

obstructive uvj stone, renal failure, and urosepisis reason for this examination: please place nephrostomy tube history: a 75-year-old female with urosepsis, ureteral stone, and need for decompression of the renal collecting system. procedure/findings: the procedure was performed by dr. and dr. . dr. , the staff radiologist, was present and supervising throughout. after the risks and benefits of the procedure were discussed with the patient and informed consent was obtained, the patient was placed prone on the angiography table. her left flank was prepped and draped in the standard sterile fashion. 400 mg of intravenous ciprofloxicin was administered. the skin and subcutaneous tissues in the left flank region were anesthetized with 10 cc of 1% lidocaine. using ultrasound guidance, attempts were made to advance a 22-gauge chiba needle into a posterior lower pole calyx. after several attempts, however, this proved unsuccessful. the patient was then given 40 cc of 60% optiray intravenously. using fluoroscopy, a new 22-gauge chiba needle was advanced through an anesthetized region in the left flank into an opacified middle pole calyx. after the stylet was removed, urine was aspirated confirming our position within the renal collecting system. the urine sample was sent for culture. an antegrade nephrostogram was then performed via hand injection of nonionic contrast. this revealed a mildly dilated collecting system with complete obstruction identified at the level of the distal ureter. a .018 guide wire was advanced through the chiba needle into the proximal ureter under fluoroscopic visualization. the skin entry site was incised with a #11 blade scalpel. the access needle was exchanged for a 6-french accustick sheath with inner dilator and metallic stiffener. upon entry into the renal parenchyma, the metallic stiffener was removed. the accustick sheath and inner dilator were advanced over the wire until the tip was positioned in the proximal ureter. the guide wire and inner dilator were removed. a .035 wire was then advanced through the accustick sheath into the distal ureter. the wire could not be advanced beyond the area of obstruction into the bladder. at this time, the accustick sheath was exchanged for a 6-french 23 cm bright-tip angiographic sheath. with the sheath tip positioned in the proximal ureter, a 5-french kumpe catheter was advanced through the angiographic sheath into the distal ureter. using the wire, attempts were made to traverse the area of obstruction. again, this was unsuccessful and the wire was exchanged for a .035 angled glidewire. using this wire, in combination with the 5-french kumpe catheter, the area of obstruction was successfully passed. with the glidewire positioned in the bladder, beyond the area of obstruction, the kumpe catheter was exchanged for a 5-french vertebral catheter. the glidewire was then exchanged for a .035 super-stiff amplatz wire. at this time, the vertebral catheter and 6-french angiographic sheath were removed. an 8-french 24 cm internal/external nephroureteral stent was then advanced over the amplatz wire into the bladder. the super-stiff amplatz wire was removed. the catheter pigtails were formed and locked in the bladder and in the right renal pelvis. a hand injection of nonionic contrast confirmed the appropriate positioning of the nephroureteral stent. the catheter was secured to the skin using a #0 silk suture. a stat- lock device was applied, followed by a dry sterile dressing. the catheter was placed to external bag drainage and may be capped in approximately 24 hours. complications: none. medications: 1% lidocaine. 400 mg intravenous ciprofloxicin. 2 mg of versed and 100 mcg of fentanyl were administered in intermittent doses with continuous monitoring of vital signs by the nursing staff. contrast: 90 cc of 60% optiray. impression: 1. antegrade nephrostogram revealed mild left hydronephrosis with a complete obstruction identified at the level of the distal ureter, secondary to stone presence. 2. successful placement of a 24 cm 8 french internal/external nephroureteral stent via a left posterior middle pole calyx. the catheter has side holes extending throughout its length and was placed to external bag drainage. the catheter may be capped for internal drainage in approximately 24 hours. brief hospital course: 75 year old female with right staghorn calculi for >20 years and new left obstructing calculi with hydronephrosis, ureteral dilation and perinephric stranding associated with increasedd wbc count, tachycardia, hypotension refractory to fluids and increased creatinine. . 1. sepsis: although pt has no fever and no tachypnea, pt does have an elevated white count, with tachycardia as well as a positive ua suggesting pylonephritis and urosepsis. . a). source was most likely urosepsis with positive ua, and obstructing stone by ct scan. she was treated with broad spectrum antibiotics with cefepime and cipro. urology was already consulted as was ir. a percutaneous nephrostomy tube was placed by ir with resultant good urine output. . b). hemodynamics: pt had hypotension temporarily requiring pressors and ivf to bring up cvp. pressors were successfully weaned. she had been mentating appropriately suggesting mental status would be an appropriate measure. . 2. acute renal failure: it was secondary to obstructive stone lesion (pt already with atrophic r kidney, now presenting with obstructive lesion in l kidney). no history of renal insufficiency as per patient. the percutaneous nephrostomy tube was placed and the patient's creatinine improved with fluid hydration. . 3. anemia of chronic decrease with decreased hematocrit over past 9 months (hct 36 in )plus possible blood loss from

past medical history: hepatitis c. admission medications: 1. multivitamin. 2. aspirin. allergies: the patient has no known drug allergies. physical examination on admission: upon transfer to , the patient's blood pressure in the trauma bay was 142/palpable, heart rate 67. the patient was intubated, saturating 100% on his ventilator settings which were simv 700 by 14 with 100% fi02 and 5 of peep. on examination, he was intubated and sedated, moving all extremities. his pupils were reactive and equal. he was noted to have a right forehead lac just above the eyelid. the midface was stable without evidence of unstable fractures. he had a c-collar in place. the patient's tympanic membranes were free of blood. his chest was clear to auscultation bilaterally. he had obvious crepitus throughout his thorax. cardiac: regular rate and rhythm with a normal s1 and s2. abdomen: soft, nondistended, did not appear to be tender. back: the examination of the back showed no step-off or deformity. extremities: the left knee was somewhat swollen and his left foot was somewhat mottled in appearance. ankle brachial indexes were measured in the trauma bay and his abi was 1 on that left side. there were no other obvious deformities on examination. neurologic: somewhat limited by the fact that he was intubated and sedated; however, he was moving all extremities. laboratory/radiologic data: white count 23.3, hematocrit 37.2, platelets 264,000. the patient's coagulation studies were normal. his u/a showed trace blood with 0-2 rbcs on the microscopic examination. chemistries revealed a sodium of 140, potassium 4.5, chloride 101, bicarbonate 28, bun 19, creatinine 1.2, glucose 151. his amylase was 80. his tox screen was negative. his abg on arrival was 7.30, 53, 151, 27, and 0. he had a lactate of 1.8. the patient, as previously mentioned, from the outside hospital had a ct of the head which was negative for fracture or intracranial hemorrhage. ct of his chest showed multiple left-sided rib fractures and a left pulmonary contusion as well as a left-sided pneumothorax. ct of the abdomen was reportedly negative. the patient had a ct of the c-spine as well which was negative. at the , he had a left knee x-ray which was negative for fracture. however, there was a question of a right medial femoral condyle avulsion fracture. the patient did not have a chest tube placed at the outside hospital. he was noted on the chest x-ray in the trauma bay here, at , to have a pneumothorax. he had a left-sided chest tube placed in the trauma bay at . the patient was transferred to the intensive care unit for further treatment and monitoring. over the next several days the patient remained on the ventilator. during his hospital stay at , he was slowly weaned to minimal support on the ventilator. the patient's hematocrit was noted to trend down during the first several days of his hospital stay. the patient received a total of 4 units of packed cells and transfusion. he underwent ct angiogram of the chest as well as a ct of the abdomen and pelvis while at the which showed no active sites of bleeding in the chest. ct of the abdomen and pelvis was unremarkable. the patient also received a ct scan of the thoracic and lumbar spine which showed a transverse process fracture of the fourth lumbar vertebra. orthopedics was consulted during his hospital stay, both for his left medial femoral condyle avulsion fracture as well as to evaluate the left knee. they also saw the patient and consulted on this fourth lumbar vertebral fracture. the vertebral fracture was found to be amenable to nonoperative management and essentially required only symptomatic management with pain control. the left knee was placed in a knee immobilizer and they recommended toe-touch weightbearing when the patient was ambulating. the patient will ultimately require an mri of the left knee to further evaluate it but that was not obtained during this hospitalization. of note, on the patient's follow-up chest ct, it was noted that the patient had a persistent moderate size pneumothorax on the left side despite the presence of a chest tube. because of this, the patient had a second left chest tube placed in the icu and his lung was noted to be fully expanded after placement of that chest tube. both chest tubes remain in at the time of this dictation and they remain on suction. the remainder of the hospital course is fairly unremarkable. the patient did have several fevers during his hospital stay. multiple cultures of the blood, sputum, and urine were initially negative and remained essentially negative at the time of this dictation. the patient was started on tube feeds and the patient was receiving tube feeds at a goal rate of 90 via a ng tube at the time of this dictation. the patient was placed on vancomycin and levaquin. vancomycin was subsequently discontinued. at the time of this dictation, the patient remains on levaquin for prophylaxis of possible pneumonia; however, there is no culture date to support that. the patient also underwent follow-up ct of the head on the day of his discharge from this institution. the results of which are pending at the time of this dictation. discharge medications: 1. regular insulin sliding scale. 2. subcutaneous heparin. 3. pepcid. 4. p.r.n. morphine. 5. p.r.n. ativan. 6. levaquin. 7. tylenol. discharge diagnosis: 1. status post assault with left pneumothorax, status post left chest tube placement times two. 2. left medial femoral condyle fracture as well as a t4 transverse process fracture. disposition: the patient remains intubated on minimal ventilator support, most likely will be able to be weaned off the ventilator in the next several days. currently, the patient is on day number six of a course of levaquin and can be continued for a ten day course and then discontinue. dr., 02-239 dictated by: medquist36 Procedure: Insertion of intercostal catheter for drainage Insertion of intercostal catheter for drainage Continuous invasive mechanical ventilation for 96 consecutive hours or more Enteral infusion of concentrated nutritional substances Diagnoses: Pneumonia, organism unspecified Unspecified schizophrenia, unspecified Closed fracture of lumbar vertebra without mention of spinal cord injury Closed fracture of condyle, femoral Contusion of lung without mention of open wound into thorax Acute hepatitis C without mention of hepatic coma Concussion with loss of consciousness of unspecified duration Flail chest Assault by striking by blunt or thrown object

hospital with altered mental status that was complicated by nstemi, hypoglycemia, and hypernatremia. #altered mental status: pt presented to the osh per report he was delirious and agitated, which seems to have been waxing and . on transfer to he continued to be altered, a&ox0. he recieved a workup that showed a clear head ct, normalized blood glucose, normal lfts without physical exam findings of encelpalopathy, and did not improve following urgent dialysis. his mental status gradually improved over hospital day 1. he gradually became more agitated and on hd 3 he required haldol 2.5mg x2 following the patient punching a member of the staff. he continued to be agitated and pyschiatry was consulted. they felt that this most likely was acute delerium and favored a standing dose of haldol with prn for breakthrough agitation. he had a workup of other causes of his ams including tsh, dosing with thiamine and folate, infection workup, head ct, lfts, b12. all of which were non-diagnostic. at transfer to the floor, he had no more episodes of agitation. his haldol and seroquel were tapered and he eventually became oriented to , . # renal failure: secondary to htn and dibetes, admitted with chronic kidney disease stage 4-5, baseline creatinine of ~3.5 with egfr ~15. he received dialysis due to heart failure and fluid overload as well as electrolyte control. during this admission, his cr continued to steadily rise into the mid 4's. he has been evaluated for vein mapping and planning on establishing he is currently euvolemic and making about 50cc of urine an hour. his electrolytes are medically controlled and he has no acute indications for dialysis, however he will likely need dialysis soon as an outpatient. he has had vein mapping here . # nstemi: the patient has a hx of extensive cad and is s/p 4v cabg and in the setting of his altered mental status he had elevated cardiac enzymes (mb peaked at 57) and echo with question of worsened wmas. ecg with st depressions in inferior and lateral leads, but unchanged compared to prior, consistent with abnormal repolarization. he recieved full dose asa rectally and was started on heparin ggt. due to his ams he was unable to take po medications and plavix was not able to be given. his biomarkers trended down on admission. he remained hemodynamically stable. he has had no complaints of chest pain. # hypernatremia: on admission to osh the patients na was 145. on transfer to his na rose to 147 and he was started on d5w. this was gradually corrected and normalized at 143. he was monitered off d5w and his sodium remained normal for the remainder of his hospitalization. he is hypernatremic at discharge, but is also dry and encouraged to increase po intake. # hypoglycemia: pt has been hypoglycemic on recent admission on to and was found to have a bs of on . per niece, he doses his own insulin and she is not sure if he is dosing it correctly. he required dextrose infusion at osh to maintain glucose levels, however on transfer to hisblood glucose remained stable in the 120s off of dextrose. he was placed on a sliding scale of insulin without and basal insulin and his blood glucose was maintained. it was felt that this initial hypoglycemia was to to overdosing of a long acting basal insulin. this appears to best fit the clinical picture as he had no further episodes since his inital hospitalization at the outside hospital. # dm2: as noted above the patient was admitted with concern for hypoglycemia and his home insulin was held. while recieving d5w to correct for hypernatremia his bllod glucose began to rise into the 200's. the patient was placed on a riss and his blood glucose was monitored during his hospitalization. # chronic systolic chf: baseline patient has ef 45%. he was found to have an estimated ef of 38% based on echo at osh on . no evidence of acute decompensation during hospitalization, with no rales, peripheral edema or elevated jvp. he maintained his volume status and had no episodes of sob or incraased o2 requirements. # hypertension: pt has a history of this and is controlled with metoprolol, hydralazine, and imdur at home. bps elevated on arrival with sbp into 170's. given the patients ams and inability to take po medications he was placed on iv metoprolol and iv hydrazine with sbps in the 120's. he was eventually transitioned to po hydralazine and metoprolol. his furosemide has been held, and his blood pressures have remained stable. transitional issues: - renal follow up medications on admission: preadmission

instructions: dear mr. , it was a pleasure taking part in your care while at . you were transferred to this hospital from another hospital to which you were admitted when you were found down at home. the cause of your collapse is unclear, but you were found to have a very low blood sugar. you were also found to have heart failure and you had to have hemodialysis to remove the fluid that accumulated from low output from the heart. when you were transferred here, you were maintained in the intensive care unit until your renal and cardiac function stabilized. once they did, you were transferred to the regular hospital floor where your condition improved. your heart has been functioning well, and your blood sugars have been well controlled. unfortunately, your kidney function has not returned to what it was before this episode. while you do not currently need to be in the hospital to manage your kidneys, it is important that you see a nephrologist to continue managing. once again, it was a pleasure to meet you, and i wish you the best going forward. sincerely, md followup instructions: please see dr. on thursday at 3:30. greater assocs ( when discharged from rehab,

vancomycin d/c'd after 7 days as patient is low-risk for nosocomial mrsa pneumonia. gram stain and sputum cultures unrevealing. influenza dfa negative. she completed a 10d of cef/azithro. she required supplement o2 at discharge to maintain spo2>92% (she was down to 1.5l). this should continue to be titrated down. after completing her treatment, she remained afebrile. . 2. chf: patient with known h/o chf. echo performed during this hospital course show rv dysfunction and dilation (see echo reports). abnormal septal motion/position was felt to be consistent with rv pressure/volume overload. this pulm htn was not new as she had previously pa htn from prior to cabg in and in - per echo done by her primary cardiologist. lvef normal. it is possible that cause of rv failure is acute pulmonary disease; however, the differential diagnosis includes pe vs. ischemic disease. she had positive trops, but only mildly elevated without ekg changes and thus was felt to be demand related. at , our goal for her was for a negative fluid balance, particularly in the setting of worsened pulmonary edema on most recent cxr. after coming off pressors and transfer to floor, the patient was aggressively diuresed with 40mg iv of lasix. we diuresed her with a goal of -2l per day. she still required oxygen upon discharge, but with continued diuresis, this should be able to be weaned down. she was discharged on lasix 80mg po bid; once she is euvolemic and no longer requiring oxygen, she should be switched back to her home dose of lasix 40mg po daily. she should have repeat electrolytes on to ensure her kidney function is stable. she should follow up with her cardiologist in the next 1-2 weeks and have a repeat echocardiogram at that time once she is euvolemic. initially held bb & in the setting of hypotension and ?sepsis. these were restarted before discharge. continued amiodarone per prior regimen. weight on discharge was 236lb. she was maintained on a low sodium diet. . 3. cad: patient with known h/o cad, s/p cabg. patient presented with troponin leak (peaking at 0.15) but asymptomatic with no associated ekg changes. she was on a heparin gtt at outside hospital but this was discontinued once enzymes downward trending. troponin leak was likely secondary to demand ischemia in the setting of pneumonia. continued asa, zetia, lipitor and bb. . 4. acute renal failure: cr elevated to 2.3 on admission (baseline 1.1) with pre-renal etiology (fena <1%). creatinine did continue to increase with diuresis, and on discharge was 1.4. it is likely indicative of appropriate diuresis with relative hypovolemic state, necessary in this patient to keep her dry and prevent pulmonary edema. . 5. atrial fibrillation: rate controlled with beta blocker and amiodarone. in sinue rhythm during this hospitalization. not clear as to why the patient is not anticoagulated as she was anticoagulated in the past. this should be readressed with her cardiologist. . 6. pulmonary effusion: r sided effusion;

history of present illness: this is a 63 year old male with a history of hypertension and colon cancer status post hemicolectomy who is status post a nine foot fall from the cab of his truck on . the patient was reportedly down for about two hours before help arrived and has had changes in mental status since his fall. he was originally seen at the hospital where he was admitted and found to have a left scalp abrasion that was sutured, a left clavicle fracture, left rib fractures and a head ct scan that did not show any evidence of intracranial hemorrhage. his next ct scan was also negative for fracture. the pain was controlled there with percocet and he was cleared by physical therapy for discharge home with a creatinine of 2.4 at discharge. at home, however, he was unable to carry out his activities of daily living, became short of breath and was brought to an outside hospital emergency room where his ck was noted to be 2456 and he was noted to have a troponin t of 2.4, creatinine of 3.5, and had an o2 saturation of only 81% on five liters nasal cannula. an echocardiogram was carried out which showed an ejection fraction of 40 to 45% and an arterial blood gas at the outside hospital showed a ph of 7.32, with pco2 of 48 and a po2 of 50. a chest ct scan demonstrated right upper lobe and right lower lobe consolidation consistent with bronchopulmonary pneumonia thought to be secondary to aspiration pneumonia. no pneumothorax was seen. again, a head ct scan was negative. given the patient's white blood cell count elevation, infiltrate and hypoxia, he was given one gram of ceftriaxone, aspirin for positive cardiac enzymes and morphine sulfate for pain and was transferred to for further care. on admission to the , the patient was alert and intermittently oriented. the patient received in the emergency department aspirin, flagyl and further morphine sulfate for pain. the patient was noted to have unequal blood pressures in his arms and a transthoracic echocardiogram was carried out to rule out dissection. the transthoracic echocardiogram demonstrated no evidence of aortic or thoracic dissection and showed mile regional left ventricular systolic dysfunction with posterior and apical hypokinesis. past medical history: 1. hypertension times three years. 2. colon cancer status post hemicolectomy in . 3. prostate cancer status post prostatectomy. 4. remote history of hepatitis b approximately 25 years ago. medications on admission: 1. accupril 40 mg q. day. allergies: no known drug allergies. social history: the patient lives alone; he is separated from his wife. has two supportive daughters. has smoked approximately two to three packs per day times 50 years. has occasional ethanol. denies any intravenous drug use. he is a trucker and was independent before his fall. physical examination: on admission, vital signs with temperature of 98.0 f.; blood pressure 122/65; pulse 102; respiratory rate 20; o2 saturation 84% on room air and increased to 97 to 100% on a nonrebreather. in general, the patient was found lying in bed guarding his left side in mild distress. heent: pupils equally round and reactive to light. extraocular muscles are intact. oropharynx is clear. the patient wears dentures. neck with no lymphadenopathy. chest with diffuse rales and rhonchi on the right; clearer on the left but dullness is present at the left base. ecchymoses are present over the left anterior chest wall and he is tender to palpation on the left side of his chest. abdomen soft, nontender, slightly distended, positive bowel sounds. midline well healed scar. extremities with no edema, clubbing or cyanosis. two plus dorsalis pedis and radial pulses bilaterally. neurological examination: the patient is awake, oriented to person, occasionally to place, occasionally to time. cranial nerves ii through xii are intact. strength is five plus in all regions. laboratory: on admission, white blood cell count 22.1, hematocrit 40.5, platelets 298. sodium 138, potassium 5.2, chloride 103, bicarbonate 24, bun 41, creatinine 3.4 and glucose is 117. ck is 2427, with an mb of 133 and a troponin t of 3.41. ekg demonstrates normal sinus rhythm with normal axis and intervals and chamber size. there are no st or t wave changes. chest x-ray demonstrates minimally displaced rib fractures within the fifth, sixth and seventh left ribs posteriorly as well as a depressed fracture of the left clavicle which is displaced inferiorly by the width of the bone. there is no pneumothorax. mild congestive heart failure is evidenced by vascular engorgement. lungs are otherwise clear. hospital course: the patient was initially admitted to the medical intensive care unit. the patient was begun on antibiotics for presumed aspiration pneumonia and was placed on aspirin, beta blockers, given the elevated cardiac enzymes on admission. the patient's o2 saturations initially stabilized on therapy for presumed aspiration pneumonia and the patient was transferred to the floor. however, on the day of transfer, the patient had a further episode of hypoxia and hypotension with a drop in his systolic blood pressure to the 80s. the patient was bolused with a total of two liters of normal saline with improvement of his systolic blood pressure to 100 to 105 and the patient was transferred back to the medical intensive care unit for further management. on readmission to the medical intensive care unit, he had an o2 saturation of 80% on six liters via nasal cannula. he was transferred to a 50% face mask where his arterial blood gas was found to be 7.34/44/55. the patient demonstrated increasing agitation and required 50 mg of haldol for sedation. hospital course by systems: 1. pulmonary: the patient's hypoxia was most likely secondary to aspiration pneumonia as well as fluid overload. he was diuresed with intravenous lasix with improvement of his respiration. he was continued on a 14 day course of levofloxacin and flagyl for presumed aspiration pneumonia. the patient's respirations further improved with chest pt and he was transitioned back to nasal cannula and finally room air. the patient was able to maintain adequate room air o2 saturations. 2. cardiac: the patient was noted to have nonspecific inferior st depressions with t wave inversions, that were 1 mm in v4 through v6 in the setting of sinus tachycardia. on another occasion, the patient was noted to have t wave inversions in iii and avf with 1/ depressions in v4 and v5. on a further occasion, the patient was noted again in the setting of sinus tachycardia to have depressions in v4 through v6. the patient was monitored on telemetry and was noted to undergo atrial fibrillation at a rate of 140 on the with v4 through v6 st depressions of 1 mm. telemetry demonstrated further intermittent episodes of atrial fibrillation with rates up to 160 and a possible ten beat run of ventricular tachycardia. transesophageal echocardiogram demonstrated trace mitral regurgitation, trace tricuspid regurgitation, mildly depressed ejection fraction with posterior / apical hypokinesis and no evidence of dissection. furthermore, the transthoracic echocardiogram demonstrated left ventricular hypertrophy with mild global hypokinesis. the patient's ck was 2427 on admission and peaked at 2551 on the , after which point it trended downward to 575 on the . his ck mb was 133 on admission and declined consistently throughout his hospitalization. his ck mb was 5 on the . his troponin t was 3.41 on admission and increased to a maximum of 5.22 on the . his elevated cardiac enzymes were thought to be primarily due to renal failure in the setting of rhabdomyolysis as well as demand ischemia in the setting of tachycardia. the patient was begun on high dose beta blocker for rate control of his atrial fibrillation and nonsustained ventricular tachycardia. he was begun also on aspirin. he was anti-coagulated with heparin for prophylaxis of his atrial fibrillation. persantine mibi was carried out on the and did not demonstrate any significant ischemic st segment changes. there was no evidence of fixed or perfusion defects on nuclear study. diffuse hypokinesis and depressed ejection fraction of approximately 30% was noted. the patient was initially taken to the cardiac catheterization laboratory on the , but was unable to undergo the procedure at that time secondary to mental status changes and the cardiac catheterization was deferred to a later date. the patient was noted to have intermittent episodes of hypotension during subsequent hospitalization and his beta blockers and ace inhibitor doses were titrated. 3. renal: the patient was noted to have an elevated creatinine of 3.4 on admission. it was difficult to ascertain the patient's baseline creatinine level as he is not per report had blood work done recently prior to this admission; however, on admission to the hospital, shortly after his fall, he was noted to have an elevated creatinine of 2.6. his creatinine steadily declined during the course of his hospitalization from the maximum of 3.4 on admission to a baseline of between 2.2 and 2.4. renal ultrasound was carried out on the and revealed diffusely increased echogenicity of the renal parenchyma bilaterally consistent with chronic parenchymal disease. the left kidney is atrophied. overall, the study was consistent with arterial vascular disease. no hydronephrosis or proximal hydroureter was seen on the study. 4. psychiatric: the patient was noted to have intermittent episodes of delirium. a psychiatric consultation was obtained. a neurological consultation was also obtained. the patient's change in mental status were characterized by confusion that appeared to

earlier in the month with a fractured left clavicle and left rib fractures. his recovery was complicated by rhabdomyolysis. at home, he had desaturated, brought to an outside hospital emergency room and he had acute shortness of breath. he came in with pneumonia and a positive cpk. while in the hospital, the patient had paroxysmal atrial fibrillation. his carotid ultrasound also showed that his right internal carotid was occluded with a 40-60% left internal carotid stenosis. allergies: patient had no drug allergies. medications at time of consult: 1. thyroid medication 12.5 mcg p.o. q.d. 2.

well. his lungs were clear bilaterally. his heart was regular rate and rhythm. his abdomen was benign. his extremities were warm and well perfused. he was referred to dr. . he was also seen with a preoperative evaluation by physical therapy and continued to be followed by psychiatry for some confusion as noted in the previous discharge summary. he continued to be followed also by neurology given his risk with severe bilateral carotid disease. preoperative laboratory work as follows: on the 29th showed a white count of 14.6, hematocrit 30.8. pt 13.4, ptt 31.9. platelet count 424,000. inr

inferior t-wave changes that were nonspecific. the patient was in sinus rhythm at the time with a rate of 67. on , he underwent coronary artery bypass grafting x2 with lima to the lad and a vein graft to the om by dr. . he was transferred to the cardiothoracic icu in stable condition. on postoperative day one, patient had no events overnight. he was extubated and was satting 96% on 3 liters. he had a cardiac index of 2.3. his white count rose to 30.7 with a hematocrit of 31 postoperatively. his bun was 20 and creatinine was 1.8, which was down from his baseline of 2.6. neurologically, he was intact. he continued to start his wean off oxygen. chest tubes remained in. his swan was pulled to begin wean of his neo-synephrine, which he was at at 0.1 mcg/kg/minute. he was also supported on an insulin drip. he finished his perioperative vancomycin and began lasix diuresis also. on postoperative day two, again he had no events overnight. he remained neurologically intact. his chest tubes were pulled. his lopressor was increased to 25 mg p.o. b.i.d. continued his lasix, and cultures had been sent off. no results at that time. his creatinine rose slightly to 20, and his white count dropped from the 30s to 18. on postoperative day three, he desatted very briefly to 88, but then improved with increased oxygen therapy. he was at 89 in sinus rhythm with a blood pressure of 114/56, increased his saturation to 98% on 2 liters nasal cannula. at the time his cultures did not return any significant information. his white count dropped to 14.5. his creatinine rose slightly to 2.2. he had decreased breath sounds at both bases, but otherwise his examination was unremarkable. his lopressor was increased to 50 b.i.d. and he was off all drips at that time. he also was restarted on his levothyroxine and atorvastatin. he was transferred from csru out to the floor on to begin his ambulation and physical therapy. he continued to be followed by case management and neurology. he had some periods of confusion and agitation. on postoperative day four, he had some bilateral rhonchi. his sternum was stable. his incisions were clean, dry, and intact. his white count remained stable at 13.6. his creatinine also remained stable at 2.1 with a hematocrit of 29.6. neurology recommended a head ct. patient continued to work with rehab, however, he did drop his blood pressure to the 70s and 80s supine throughout the day on the 4th, and so no ambulation was attempted at that time given the instability of his blood pressure. he was slightly somnolent when this happened on the 4th at 5:45 p.m., and this happened after he came back from his ct scan. a blood gas was drawn at that time. his blood pressure rose, but he was a little bit somnolent. eeg was ordered for the morning. his lopressor was decreased pending his blood pressure changes. neurology examined him again and with recommendations for the eeg, and the patient was transferred from 2 back to csru pending a full neurologic examination. on the 5th, patient has eeg in the morning. white count dropped to 10.7. he was in sinus rhythm in 80s with blood pressure of 99/54 and a planned mra in the afternoon. neurology examined him again and noted a homonomous inferior quadrant autopsia on the left, but results were being weighted both the eeg and the mra. patient was back on neo-synephrine drip at 1.5 in the unit for blood pressure support. he remained mildly confused on the 6th. his examination was otherwise unremarkable. his creatinine stabilized to 2.0, which is below his baseline. on postoperative day seven, patient's neo-synephrine had been weaned down to 0.25 mcg/kg/minute. with no final report from his eeg, the decision made to hold on his mri given that his confusion cleared for assessment by the neurology service. early in the morning on the 8th, he was alert and oriented, very cooperative. he remained afebrile. his incisions were clean, dry, and intact. he was satting 99% on room air, using incentive spirometer and coughing and deep breathing. he had no ectopy and his blood pressure was stable, and his incisions were clean, dry, and intact, and he was transferred back out to the floor on the 8th off all drips. his examination continued to be unremarkable. he had no further confusion. on postoperative day nine, he continued to do his rehab. his foley was discontinued. he appeared to be neurologically intact. his creatinine rose slightly to 2.9, which was above his baseline. on postoperative day 10, he had no events. remained in sinus rhythm with a blood pressure of 90/62 and a pulse of 85. he was satting 99% on room air, again and appeared alert and oriented. the patient was transferred back to 2 on the 10th. he was pushing his own wheelchair and ambulating independently. incisions were clean, dry, and intact. he was in sinus rhythm in the 90s. patient had a chest x-ray, results were not back at the time, and they were waiting for the patient's daughter to arrive so they could speak to her. they were not sure if the patient would qualify for rehab, and the patient wanted to go home. these issues were worked out with the case manager. on postoperative day 11, the , the patient was discharged to home in stable condition with a temperature of 98.4, sinus rhythm at 88, blood pressure 144/77, satting 96% on room air. his heart was regular rate and rhythm. his lungs were clear bilaterally. his incisions were clean, dry, and intact. his abdominal exam was benign. he had no complaints of pain and was oriented. discharge medications: 1. colace 100

had a left vats converted to left anterior thoracotomy, a resection of superior segment of the left lower lobe, and a mediastinal lymph node dissection. she developed postoperative atrial fibrillation with a rapid ventricular rate soon afterwards and her blood pressure was initially 80/40, leading to a transfer to the intensive care unit. by , the patient had rate stabilized at around 110-120 and her pressures was around 109/47. amiodarone had begun being loaded as per cardiology recommendations and so it was felt, ms. could be transferred to the floor. after coming to the floor, ms. gradually improved clinically though with persistence of her atrial fibrillation. as per cardiology recommendations, on an initial dose of warfarin was given along with heparin anticoagulation. the patient remained within the target aptt and ptt ranges and so therapy continued. by , the patient had converted to normal sinus rhythm, was rate controlled and had improved clinically to the point where she could follow up on an outpatient basis with her coumadin and amiodarone medications. the patient was informed and agreed to the mandatory scheduled inr checks in the coumadin clinics. discharge

lung cancer complicated by atrial fibrillation on coumadin now presenting with lgib. # lgib: upon admission, patient was given 2u prbc and was closely monitored on the wards, when she was noted to have a large bloody bowel movement accompanied by onset of afib with rvr and hypotension. patient was bolused with 500ml of ns and transfered to the micu for further management. in the micu, patient continued to pass brbpr and received an additional 10 units of prbc. inr was measured at 2.2. asa and coumadin were discontinued, while plavix was continued. colonoscopy was performed on , showing old and new blood throughout the colon, with more active bleeding present in the descending colon when compared to ascending colon. moderate to severe diverticulosis was also noted. per gi recs, tagged red blood cell scan was performed on and showed no evidence of gi bleed. by , the patient had received a total of 10 units of blood and was no longer passing brbpr, though she continued to pass clots. hct stabilized in the upper 20s and inr was 1.1. after transfer to the general medical service on , patient continued to pass clots, but her hct remained stable in the 28-30 range. towards the end of her stay (), plavix was discontinued and she was started on asa 81mg. given history of diverticular disease () and severe diverticulosis observed on colonoscopy, this episode of lgib is most consistent with diverticular bleeding. she will follow up with her cardiologist next week to discuss reinitiation of plavix and coumadin. . # atrial fibrillation: patient had an episode of atrial fibrillation on initial presentation associated with hypotension, resulting in micu transfer. she converted to sinus and remained there while in the micu. patient was transferred to the general medical service where she was monitored on telemetry and had a recurrence of atrial fibrillation with rvr to the 140s, though mostly resting in the low 100s. she remained hemodynamically stable with palpitations as her only symptom. she spontaneously converted to sinus with a rate in the 60s the following morning. she remained in sinus rhythm for the rest of her hospital stay. per recommendations of her outpatient cardiologist dr. , she was continued on her home dose of amiodarone. her coumadin was discontinued in the setting of her gi bleed. oral metoprolol was restarted at increased dose of 25mg tid. . # cad: patient remained chest pain free during her hospitalization. cardiology was contact on admission to discuss risks of being on asa and plavix. given significant cardiac history, they recommneded that she be continued on both. nitrate and beta-blocker were initially held in the setting of gi bleed. in the latter part of her hospitalization given that she was still having small amount of bleeding even on plavix alone, dr. was contact and he recommended discontinuing the plavix given that her last bare metal stent was placed in (renal artery stent), and her last drug-eluting stent was placed in . she was instead put on asa 81mg daily. as above, her metoprolol was restarted at a higher dose given her a. fib with rvr. she was, however, normotensive at time of discharge so her imdur was held pending follow up and repeat blood pressure check this upcoming week. . # pvd: patient has several stents to renal and carotid arteries. as above, her plavix was ultimately held and asa was continued at 81mg daily. this will be addressed further upon outpatient follow up with her pcp and cardiologist. . # cri: creatinine remained within her baseline throughout this admission. . # lung cancer: s/p lobectomy. her respiratory status remained stable during her hospital stay. she has outpatient follow up appointments scheduled with her oncologists next week. . # pmr: patient on prednisone 10mg as outpatient; she was continued on this dose during her hospitalization. . # access: due to poor peripheral access, picc line was placed prior to transfer to the floor. this was removed prior to discharge. medications on admission: atacand hct 16-12.5mg po daily clopidogrel 75mg po daily imdur 15mg po daily prednisone 10mg po daily oxycodone-acetaminophen 5-325mg po q4-6h prn

disposition: home discharge diagnosis: lower gi bleed, probable diverticular bleed atrial fibrillation squamous cell lung cancer discharge condition: stable, in normal sinus rhythm with stable hematocrit. discharge instructions: you were admitted to the hospital for lower gastrointestinal bleeding, that is most likely due to diverticulosis. while you were in the hospital, you went into atrial fibrillation and your blood pressure decreased. you were sent to the intensive care unit to manage your blood pressure and were transfused with 10 units of blood. your home medications, aspirin and coumadin, were stopped while you were in the hospital in order to help control the bleeding. you underwent a colonoscopy which showed blood and diverticula in your colon. a tagged red blood cell scan to localize the source of bleeding was then done, and did not show any active bleeding. after leaving the icu, you were transfered to the general medical floor where your heart rate, rhythm, and blood pressure were monitored. you experienced another episode of atrial fibrillation which resolved on its own overnight. you were discharged when these became stable and you were no longer bleeding. while you were in the hospital we stopped your plavix and coumadin, and changed your dose of aspirin from 325mg to 81mg. when you go home please continue the aspirin 81mg but do not restart the plavix or coumadin until following up with dr. . we also increased your dose of metoprolol from 25 mg twice a day to 25 mg three times a day. please continue taking the metoprolol 25 mg three times per day when you go home. we stopped your imdur while you were in the hospital and suggest that you do not take anymore until you see dr. and he re-evaluates you. please follow up with your primary care physician . , your cardiologist dr. , and your oncologist dr. as detailed below. please call your doctor or return to the emergency room if you develop shortness of breath, lightheadedness, dizziness,

history of present illness: the patient is a 30 year old male with a past medical history of pulmonic stenosis (now thought to be secondary to an anterior mediastinal mass), who presented with five weeks of progressive nonproductive cough, fever, and night sweats to an outside hospital on , where a chest x-ray revealed an anterior mediastinal mass and a cat scan showed the mass measuring at 11.3 by 14.4 by 12.0 centimeters, as well as small effusions. the patient was sent home with follow-up but over the weekend, he developed pleuritic left sided chest pain with mild shortness of breath. again, he was evaluated at the outside hospital where the pericardial effusion now appeared large. he was therefore transferred to where an echocardiogram revealed a 3.5 centimeter effusion with inferior vena cava inspiratory collapse and mitral inflow variability without increased jugular venous pressure or a pulsus. the patient was transferred to the ccu for close monitoring. past medical history: 1. hernia repair at eight years old. 2. lyme disease at ten years old. 3. pulmonic stenosis diagnosed in , after a murmur and diagnosed by echocardiogram. 4. shingles. medications on admission: none. allergies: no known drug allergies. social history: the patient lives alone. negative tobacco. three drinks of alcohol per month. the patient works as industrial designer, physically active. family history: mother passed seven years ago from breast cancer. grandfather with prostate carcinoma. physical examination: on admission, temperature 101.8, heart rate 105, blood pressure 130/70, respiratory rate 27 to 32, oxygen saturation 98% in room air. the patient is a well developed male who is thin and diaphoretic, anxious, in mild respiratory distress. the pupils are equal, round, and reactive to light and accommodation. extraocular movements are intact. cranial nerves ii through xii are intact. the oropharynx is clear. negative anterior posterior lymphadenopathy. neck is supple, negative axillary nodes. lungs are clear to auscultation bilaterally. the heart was tachycardia, regular s1 and s2 with ii to iii/vi murmur at the left sternal border. the abdomen was soft, nontender, positive bowel sounds, no hepatosplenomegaly. extremities were no cyanosis, clubbing or edema. no rashes. strength was in all four extremities. laboratory data: on admission, white blood cell count was 10.9, hematocrit 37.2, platelet count 381,000. inr 1.5. chem7 was within normal limits. echocardiogram revealed normal systolic function, 3.5 effusion at the largest diameter, inferior vena cava collapse with inspiration, question of pericardial studding, mild respiratory variation in mitral inflow consistent with some early signs of tamponade. cat scan from , heterogeneous mass in the left midline compressing the left pulmonary artery, right upper lobe pleural nodules, left pleural effusion, pericardial effusion. hospital course: 1. pericardial effusion at admission - the patient had signs for early tamponade physiology but was hemodynamically stable and was admitted to the ccu for close monitoring. repeat echocardiogram showed increasing size of the effusion. the patient therefore underwent pericardial drain and 600cc of grossly hemorrhagic fluid were removed. following the procedure overnight, there was no further drainage from the pericardial drain. repeat echocardiogram showed decreasing pericardial fluid. therefore on , the pericardial drain was pulled. the patient had one further follow-up echocardiogram on . this revealed no effusion and it was felt the patient was stable from a cardiac standpoint. 2. hematology/oncology - the patient underwent a mediastinal biopsy to diagnose the large anterior mediastinal mass. the biopsy revealed nonseminomatous germ cell yoke sac tumor. the patient underwent two treatments of radiation therapy as well as a round of five days of chemotherapy with etoposide and cisplatin. staging workup included a head magnetic resonance scan which revealed no lesions, as well as an ultrasound of the scrotum which was within normal limits. fluid drained from the pericardial and pleural effusions were negative for malignant cells. the patient tolerated chemotherapy well suffering from nausea, relieved by ativan. he was pretreated with allopurinol and intravenous fluids to prevent tumor lysis. the patient completed his five days of chemotherapy. he will follow-up with dr. in one week for continuation of his therapy with the possible addition of bleomycin following pulmonary function tests. 3. infection - during the hospital course, he continued to have shortness of breath as well as a cough with mild hemoptysis. on , the patient spiked a fever. this was thought most likely secondary to the tumor burden, however, the patient was started on vancomycin, levofloxacin and clindamycin as broad spectrum therapy with a question of postobstructive pneumonia. subsequently, the patient did well with no further fevers. vancomycin and clindamycin were stopped and the patient will complete a ten day course of levofloxacin. 4. pleural effusion - the patient had a left sided chest tube placed for drainage of pleural fluid. following the removal of the chest tube, the patient had continued drainage from the site of the tube. after a number of days, this slowly resolved. the patient's site was closed by ct surgery with a suture. the suture is to be removed in seven to ten days at a follow-up appointment with dr. . condition on discharge: stable. discharge status: discharged to home with vna services for dressing changes. follow-up: the patient will follow-up on , with dr. , as well as , with dr. of cardiology. medications on discharge: 1. ativan 0.5 to 1 mg p.o. q3-4hours p.r.n. nausea. 2. levofloxacin 500 mg p.o. once daily times three days. 3. robitussin with codeine p.r.n. final diagnoses: 1, nonseminomatous germ cell anterior mediastinal tumor. 2. pericardial effusion, status post drainage. 3. left pleural effusion, status post drainage. 4. postobstructive pneumonia. , m.d. dictated by: medquist36 Procedure: Insertion of intercostal catheter for drainage Pericardiocentesis Pericardiocentesis Right heart cardiac catheterization Injection or infusion of cancer chemotherapeutic substance Other radiotherapeutic procedure Closed [percutaneous] [needle] biopsy of mediastinum Diagnoses: Pneumonia, organism unspecified Unspecified pleural effusion Malignant neoplasm of anterior mediastinum Secondary malignant neoplasm of mediastinum Hemopericardium

pain and direct hyperbilirubinemia who was presumed to have cholangitis but was subsuquently found to have e coli urosepsis. . upon admission to the floor ms was found to be tachycardic to the 120s, hypotensive with sbp in the 90s fever to 104. she was given 3lns boluses, started on zosyn and flagyl to empirically cover for cholangitis, and was transferred to the icu for further management. she received another 2lns boluses in the icu and did not need pressors for bp support. ms had a stat ct abdomen and abdominal ultrasound which did not reveal any signs of cholangitis. she was subsuquently found to have e coli bacteremia and urine culture from an outside hospital revealed e. coli uti. she was changed to iv ciprofloxacin when sensitivities returned and was discharged with a 14 day course of oral cipro. her fevers gradually resolved as did her hypotension and her abdominal pain was completely resolved by discharge. repeat blood cultures were negative. ua and urine cultures repeated at were negative and ct-abdomen showed no evidence of pyelonephritis. . # immunosuppression: ms post transplant immunosuppressive regimen was cyclosporine 150bid + prednisone 10 qod. she was admitted with supra-therapeutic cyclosporine levels above 300. her csa doses were adjusted with wide fluctuation in her level. her dose was decreased to 100mg po bid prior to discharged because the concern is her sepsis was likely induced by her overimmunosuppression. her csa level on the morning of discharge was 344, but this was not reported until after the patient's discharge. she was contact via telephone to have another level drawn the next day. . during ms. stay she developed oral lesions that were + for herpes virus by direct antigen testing. she had also been reporting headache and photophobia so a lumbar puncture was performed that showed no rbc or wbc. she was treated briefly with iv acyclovir and then transitioned to a 10-day course of valacyclovir 500mg po bid. she has been instructed to cover her lesions when she interacts with her 18month-old daughter. she also had signs of bacterial superinfection of one of the lesions for which she is being treated with bactroban. . #. hyperbilirubinemia: there was concern on admission that ms tbili was 4.4 and she had ruq pain. abd us and ct abdomen were negative for obstruction. she had an mrcp that was negative for obstruction. the hyperbilirubinemia resolved with antibiotic treatment making sepsis the likely source. . # hcv: ms received her 4th treatment of pegylated ifn + ribaviring several days pta. her interferon was held x 1 dose due to her sepsis and her ribavirin was briefly held due to concern over her anemia. her last viral load had shown good response to ifn/ribavirin so the ribavirin was restarted with plans to resume ifn in 1 week. . # anemia/thrombocytopenia: ms presented with anemia and thrombocytopenia that improved with treatment of her sepsis. hemolysis labs were negative making ribavirin a less likely culprit. her hct on discharge was 30, which does not merit epo treatment. . # immunization: ms was found to be negative for hav and hbv antibodies. she was therefore vaccinated with #1 of the hav and hbv series. these series should be completed in liver clinic. she also received pneumococcal vaccine and influenza vaccine. medications on admission: prednisone 10mg po qother

of fresh frozen plasma. hematocrit, blood pressure and heartrate stabilized in acceptable range. the patient had several episodes of tachycardia and atrial flutter which normalized with amiodarone. on , the patient was taken to the operating room where she underwent open reduction and internal fixation with plate placement. she was operated on by dr. . she tolerated the procedure well and went back to the cardiac care unit. it was noted that the patient had a lack of cough lead and could not be extubated immediately. she was started on dexamethasone to decrease the swelling prior to orthopedic surgery. she was extubated on . it was noted that the patient had a somewhat slowness of speech. neurology consult was requested. dr. saw the patient and did not believe the patient had aphasia and the reason for slowed speech was secondary to coming off of intubation along with fentanyl therapy. neurological examination was entirely nonlocalized. at the time of this dictation, , the patient is alert and has no problems talking to her providers and family. the patient was mobilized by physical therapy who notes she is nonweightbearing on the left lower extremity. the patient has immobilizer block in extension. the patient needs prolonged course of rehabilitation. the patient was screened by rehabilitation facility and will be tentatively discharged there on , and addendum will be

lungs, more pronounced in the lower lobes consistent with given history of pcp . 2. free fluid in the pelvis. 3. apparent thickening of the sigmoid bowel wall. this could be secondary to under distension. however, inflammatory/infectious process can give similar appearance. c-spine study: no fracture identified ruq u/s: normal son appearance of the liver. there is no biliary dilatation as clinically questioned. there is mild dilatation of the common duct, which is likely secondary to the patient's status of cholecystectomy. dilated splenic vein raises possibility of portal hypertension mri head: mild age inappropriate prominence of sulci and ventricles and subtle increased periventricular hyperintensities could be secondary to hiv encephalopathy. there is no enhancing lesion or acute infarct seen. brief hospital course: the patient is a 38yo man with hiv/aids (last cd4 count = 5 and last viral load = 100k in when off of haart, currently back on haart), history of recurrent pcp infections, not on pcp prophylaxis on admission who presented with increased cough and fevers x 5 days. was febrile on admission to 101-102, with cxr on admission c/w pcp infection, had abg with pao2 = 66 also c/w pcp. was started on bactrim and 40 mg prednisone given pao2. on night of admission, pt was found down and seizing at the bedside and code was initiated for hypoxic respiratory failure and patient was intubated and transferred to icu. pt's seizure was thought to be secondary hypoxia in the setting of the pt's likely pcp infection coupled with ambulation off of oxygen. pt. was admitted to the micu on s/p respiratory failure and seizure. bp was low initially in the micu, requiring pressors and concerning for sepsis vs secondary to medications used for intubation. therefore he was initially started on vancomycin and zosyn which were subsequently d/ced after no further signs of infection, and was maintained throughout micu stay on bactrim and steroids. he received an lp in the micu that was notable for no wbcs or rbcs. micu course significant for cxr which showing diffuse haziness with no consolidation, ct showing prominent interstial markings in lungs, free fluid in the pelvis and thickening of the sigmoid wall (?concerning for infectious colitis), c-spine was negative for fractures. blood cultures, fungal blood cultures, cryptococcal antigen (in serum and csf), cmv viral load were all sent and were negative or no growth to date on discharge. pt was quickly weaned off levophed and extubated, and returned to regular medicine floor. on medicine floor, patient maintained on bactrim and steroids. oxygenation was measured at > 96% on ra. prior to discharge, patient had ambulatory oxygenation which was > 96%. patient was discharged with instructions to complete 21 day course of bactrim and prednisone taper (40mg x 5 days, 40mg qd x 5 days, 20mg qd x 5 days) and with instructions to follow up with dr. in clinic. in terms of the abdominal ct that demonstrated ? sigmoiditis, pt had complained of abdominal pain on admission with ruq u/s that ruled out any biliary process, and abdominal pain quickly resolved on admission, without complaints of worsening diarrhea from baseline. therefore no further work up was performed as an inpatient with plans to address as an outpatient as needed. pt was also anemic on admission, with hct = 27, dropping to 25 during hospital course. etiologies thought to include marrow suppression vs. anemia of chronic disease. pt was transufed 2 units of packed red blood cells with appropriate bump of hct and was discharged with hct = 30.6. patient also with hyponatremia to 127 on admission (baseline na = 133-138). as patient appeared euvolemic on exam, this was thought secondary to siadh likely to pcp . hyponatremia resolved during hospitalization and treatment of pcp and patient was discharged with na = 132. in terms of pt's hiv/aids, maintained on haart therapy throughout hospital course, lfts monitored and showed elevated t. bili and alk phos (c/w immune reconstitution syndrome per dr. but flat transaminases. of note, pt with mri prior to discharge which showed some changes that could be c/w hiv encephalopathy. patient was agitated prior to d/c, but at baseline per previous caregivers. remained alert and oriented x 3 without mental status changes

bilateral increased pulmonary parenchymal opacity. no evidence of pneumothorax or pleural effusion. soft tissue and osseous structures unremarkable. hospital course: 1.) pulmonary: the patient was admitted to on for respiratory decompensation. started on empiric bactrim and high dose steroids for pcp. patient responded well to treatment and was transferred to medical floor on . on , sputum cultures were positive for pcp. patient's respiratory status decompensated on and the patient required transfer to intensive care unit and intubation. he was started empirically on ganciclovir, levofloxacin, flagyl and ambazone to treat possible coinfection. cmv viral load, 812. ganciclovir was discontinued as low viral count of cmv was felt unlikely to contribute to respiratory status. on , levofloxacin, flagyl and ambazone were discontinued and vancomycin was begun to cover possible methicillin resistant staphylococcus aureus ventilator associated pneumonia as the patient grew gram positive cocci in sputum. respiratory status improved and the patient was extubated on and vancomycin was discontinued. on , the patient with tachypnea and hypoxia with oxygen saturations 88 to 91% on nrb, following possible aspiration. chest x-ray at that time showed bilateral and fluffy infiltrates. the patient was transferred to intensive care unit and empirically treated with ceftazidime and vancomycin. the patient was reintubated on for respiratory distress. his respiratory status improved and he was extubated on and ceftazidime and vancomycin were discontinued at that time as decompensation was felt secondary to a chemical pneumonitis from aspiration rather than super infection. on , the patient's left subclavian line was removed as the patient had right picc line placed, after which the patient desaturated to 40% non rebreather and required reintubation. ct angiogram confirmed right lower lobe subsections thrombus and heparin drip was started. the patient's respiratory status improved and the patient was extubated on and started on coumadin on . the patient was transferred to the floor on where respiratory status has remained good with oxygen saturation 96% on room air at rest, decreasing to 92% on room air with ambulation. at the time of the discharge, the patient remains on heparin as coumadin is not yet therapeutic. goal inr of two to three. inr at the time of discharge is 1.2. the patient will be discharged off heparin when coumadin is therapeutic. at the time of discharge, the patient had completed a 21 day course of bactrim for pcp pneumonia and had begun prednisone taper. 2.) cardiac: following pulmonary embolism on , electrocardiogram showed new q waves in iii and avf with st elevations in iii, avf, v1, v2. cardiac enzymes showed ck of 273 and troponin of 0.53. the patient likely had a myocardial infarction in the setting of strain due to a pulmonary embolism, in the setting of prior use of cocaine. of note, pulmonary embolism occurred while the patient was on subcutaneous heparin. the patient is to follow-up with cardiologist as an outpatient. 3.) hiv: the patient is currently markedly immunocompromised secondary to hiv. the patient was placed on azithromycin mac prophylaxis. the patient received a seven day course of acyclovir for crusty nasal lesions felt consistent with hsv. as mentioned above, low cmv viral load at 812 copies, felt noncontributory to pulmonary status. at that time, ophthalmology was consulted and performed dilated funduscopy. at that time, findings were not consistent with cmv retinitis and the patient was taken off ganciclovir. however, follow-up cmv viral load on was 6,690. infectious disease service felt that ganciclovir was not warranted at this time and scheduled outpatient follow-up with dr. . the patient received repeat cmv viral titers on to have results forwarded to dr. . dr. will determine whether ganciclovir should be instituted. the patient received a repeat ophthalmology evaluation on which noted normal eye examination, no evidence of cmv retinitis. at this time, the patient remains off any haart regimens. dr. will institute appropriate regimen as an outpatient. 4.) fluids, electrolytes and nutrition: the patient noted to have hyponatremia on admission. sodium remained low throughout admission, reaching nadir at of 125. hyponatremia was thought likely to be due to ciadh based on renal studies as patient had significant pulmonary process. the patient's sodium stabilized at 131 at the time of discharge. the patient will require further follow-up but, as the patient is asymptomatic with stable sodium, no treatment was undertaken at this time. 5.) gastrointestinal: the patient was noted to have increased amylase and lipase on with amylase 703 and lipase of 172. this was felt likely due to bactrim. the patient remained on bactrim and amylase and lipase returned to levels at the time of discharge, with amylase of 76 and lipase of 53. at the time of transfer to floor , the patient was noted to have a four cm, mildly tender right mid abdomen mass. potential causes include hernia as patient has a history of distant cholecystectomy. however, lymphoma needs to be considered given the patient's immunocompromised status. the patient will be worked up for this mass as an outpatient. 6.) hematology: the patient was noted to have anemia on admission with hematocrit reaching nadir of 29.8 on . however, hematocrit stabilized at 34.7 at the time of discharge. prior work-up for anemia on consistent with anemia of chronic disease. the patient will require further evaluation of anemia as an outpatient with primary care physician. condition on discharge: stable. discharge status: to acute rehabilitation facility.

cabgx3(svg->lad, svg->om1, svg->pda), avr(23mm magna pericardial valve) re- exploration of mediastinum and picc line placement history of present illness: 52yo male w/ mmp who presented to osh after the onset of cp at rest. described cp as pressure in the center of his chest that radiated across the base of his chest bilaterally and up to his throat. it was not associated w/ sob, n/v or diaphoresis. it lasted for about 15 mins, but he had no nitro in the house, so he called ems. was given 4 baby asa by ems and nitro x1 in the er before his cp resolved. first set ce at osh were negative. had repeat episode of cp at 5am, resolved on its own. again, had another episode of cp while boarding the helicopter for transport here. was given fentanyl w/ resolution of his pain. . last episode of cp was at hospital. was there for l subclavian vein stenting and in pacu, developed cp similar in character to what he felt last night. was kept in the hospital for 1 week and underwent a chemical stress test which he says revealed "abnormalities" but nothing that had to be dealt with immediately. on discharge, he was told to resume taking asa daily. he had not been taking asa or plavix since when he underwent surgery for his decubitus ulcers. . last evening, at osh, he was given asa 325 + sl ntg w/ relief of his cp. ekg on admission showed st depression in v5-6, with ? twi i, ii. q waves in iii, avf. overnight, he did well until 5am when he developed chest heaviness. it resolved on its own, but his ekg showed worsening st depressions in v5 and v6 and his tropi increased from <0.1 to 1.6 (ck 45 -> 54). the decision was made to transfer him to for emergent cath. he was set for ground transport when he began to develop cp again. he was instead medflighted here as his bp was also tenous (sbps in 80s-90s). he was started on reopro, heparin, and plavix (600mg x1) and was transferred straight to the cath lab. in the cath lab, it was found that he has in-stent restenosis and needs surgical intervention. plan is to take him to cabg once vascular imaging performed to identify suitable grafts. iabp placed in cath lab and referred to dr. for urgent cabg. past medical

was admitted to the on for further management of his myocardial infarction. a cardiac catheterization was performed which revealed severe three vessel disease and a intra-aortic balloon pump was placed. heparin was continued for anticoagulation and he remained pain free. given his history of end stage renal disease on hemodialysis, the renal service was consulted for assistance with his management. given the severity of his disease, the cardiac surgical service was consulted for surgical management and mr. was worked-up in the usual preoperative manner. he underwent hemodialysis on in preparation for surgery without complication. an echocardiogram was performed which showed an ejection fraction of 55%, + mitral regurgitation and moderate aortic valve stenosis with a valve area of 0.9cm2. the plastic surgery service was consulted for evaluation of his sacral decubitus ulcer and no surgical intervention was recommended at this time. the wound care nurse was asked to assist in his care throughoout his hospital stay. the infectious disease service was consulted given his history of mutiple infectious disease issues and vancomycin and zosyn were recommened perioperatively for prophylaxis. on , mr. was taken to the operating room where he underwent coronary artery bypass grafting to three vessels as well as an aortic valve replacement utilizing a 23mm magna valve. afterward he was transferred to the cardiac surgery recovery unit in stable condition and awakened neurologically intake. he required post op iabp and pressor support due to low cardiac output which was successfully weaned. on pod 2 he was transfused 2u prbc for a low hct during hd. he was aggressively diuresed toward his preoperative weight with hd, aspirin therapy was resumed, and physical therapy service was consulted to assist with his postoperative strength and mobility. electrolytes were repleted as needed. on pod 3 he had a picc line placed for continued perioperative iv vancomycin and zosyn given his history of uti, sacral decubitis infection, and intramuscular abscess. his epicardial pacing wires were removed. he subsequently became hypotensive, arrested and cpr was started. tee showed hemopericardium for which he had his sternotomy opened. an avulsed side branch of the svg->rca graft was isolated and ligated with 7-0 prolene at the bedside. mr. regained pulses and his hemodynamics stabilized. he continued to require pressor support and diuresis was accomplished using cvvhd at the bedside. on pod his chest tubes were removed without complication. on pod his pressor support was weaned and cvvhd was discontinued. he was transferred to the cardiac step down unit for further recovery. he was initially requiring daily hd until pod . at which time he resumed his qod schedule. given his need for sternal precautions his activity level was oob to chair via lift. plastic surgery was consulted for decubitus evaluation, and wound care team continued to follow him. he had some nausea on pod 14/11, amylase was 258, kub was unremarkable. repeat amylase was 124. hd continued per renal service. pain meds were changed and nausea was relieved. ot evaluation also done. hd

including left main and 3vd s/p ptca, esrd s/p failed cadaveric renal transplant on hd, recurrent uti with vre and proteus s/p kidney/bladder remal with neobladder formation and urostomy. . 1. cv: pt was admitted to the ccu directly from the osh and continued on linezolid, and started on gentamycin for uti. he was hemodynamically stable, requiring no pressors, and had no chest pain on arrival. on the morning after admission he developed chest pain and was started on heparin and taken to the catheterization lab where he was found to have lma, lcx, and lad disease with rca occlusion. a iabp was placed to increase perfusion. after extensive discussion with the ct surgery team, who felt that the surical mortality risk was 20%, it was decided that the pt would be taken for pci. at the second cardiac catheterization, pt received kissing stents to lad and lcx. it was recommended that he have a relook catheterization in 3 then 7 months. he tolerated the procedure well and was taken off thye balloon pump shortly after catheterization. the patient's cardiovascular medications were titrated to give him the maximum medical benefit. he was placed on asa, clopidogrel, atorvastatin, metoprolol, and lisinopril. he tolerated these medications well. he had only one more episode of chest pain, rated , which occurred during dialysis, and resolved within minutes on its own. he had no ekg changes at that time. because he has drug-eluting stents, he should remained on plavix for at least 9 months. his ef at the osh was reportedly 30%. in approximately three weeks, the patient will need a repeat tte to evaluate for interval change in his ef. his volume status was maintained at hemodialysis. he remained in sinus rhythm throughout his stay, but was often tachycardic. we were unable to decrease his beta-blocker any more, because his blood pressure was often around 100/60. his tachycardia may also have been due to pain his sacral ulcers. . 2. id: in regards to the uti, the pt has had a history of recurrent utis which in the past required the removal of his bladder, and placement of a neobladder and urostomy. from the osh, he had cultures of his urine which grew vre and proteus. the proteus was sensitive only to gentamicin and cefuroxime. he was treated with gentamicin for the proteus, and linezolid for the vre (14/14 day course completed). he remained afebrile throughout his hospital course at osh. pt complained of pain at the site of ulcers at his buttocks. plastic surgery was consulted, and his ulcers were debrided and treated with enzyme based dressings. plastic surgery felt that these ulcers were unlikely to be the source of his sepsis at osh. they recommend continuation of tid dressing changes and to consider a rectal tube to protect the dressing/tube. he will need re-evaluation by plastic surgery for a possible flap in the future. . 3. sacral decubitis ulcers: the patient has 2 stage 3 ulcers on his r and l buttocks. these were debrided at the bedside several times by plastic surgery. they felt that a flap may be necessary in the future, but was not indicated during this hospitalization. he also developed an intramuscular abscess next to his ulcer, which was incised and drained by plastics. this fluid grew proteus (not enough for sensitivities) and pseudomonas. because the patient remained afebrile, it was decided to not treat him for these, as he is likely to be colonized. . 4. renal: the patient was kept on his mon, wed, fri hemodialysis schedule. he was also kept on nephrocaps, and his phos-lo was changed to renagel as he has a history of calciphylaxis with phos-lo. he takes prednisone at home for his failed renal graft, with the thought being that it should prevent him from developing an immune response to alloantigens that would subsequently prevent him from tolerating another transplant. he was tapered to a home dose of 5 mg prednisone. . 5. anemia: as the patient was admitted with acs and significant cad, the transfusion criteria remained >30. as the patient remained on asa and plavix for his cardiac stents he remained at high risk for bleeding and was monitored closely with transfusions prn to maintain hct >30. a). the patient had 3 episodes of hemoptysis on . these consisted of coughing up small (1 cm) blood clots. he did not cough up any bright red blood. on further questioning, the patient reported having a nosebleed earlier that day. in terms of his respiratory status, he was kept on his outpatient inhalers. his oxygen saturation remained greater than 92%. on further questioning the patient admitted to having had previous nose bleeds, usually in the setting of dry/cold weather. the patient was taken off the nc as his oxygen saturation remained >92% on ra and was given a nasal spray with good effect. he remained without further episodes of hemoptysis or nose bleeds for >4 days. b). the patient was also noted to have guaiac positive stool/brbpr (little flecks of blood) on . on rectal exam he was noted to have some external hemorrhoids, although none were found to be bleeding at the time. however, as the patient had just had a cardiac catheterization in the setting of acute coronary syndrome, a colonoscopy was deferred. as he remained hemodynamically stable and hct was mostly steady, it was decided that the risk of colonoscopy outweighed the benefits in the immediate setting. recommend outpatient colonoscopy to better evaluate his source of brbpr. . 6. endocrine: the patient was kept on an insulin sliding scale for his diabetes. he was transferred from an osh on stress-dose steroids, which were weaned down to his home dose of prednisone of 5mg once daily. the finger sticks remained within normal limits. . 7. lue edema: the patient was found to have some moderate lue edema. u/s shows patent av fistula and no lue dvt. pt was treated with ice and elevation with good resolution. . 8. fen: the patient was maintained on a renal/cardiac diet . 9. ppx: the patient was

the middle lobe, is new since . elevation of the right lung base laterally could be due to a small subpulmonic pleural effusion. there is no left pleural effusion, heart size is normal and there is no indication of central adenopathy. overall, findings are consistent with pneumonia, including nonbacterial causes such as viral infection or even pneumocystis. dr. and i discussed these findings by telephone at the time of dictation. . ct chest with contrast (): 1. extensive multifocal parenchymal consolidations, ground-glass and tree-in- opacities predominantly in a peribronchial distribution, most severe within the right lower lobe. these findings are consistent with multifocal pneumonia. small right pleural effusion and mediastinal lymphadenopathy is likely reactive in nature. 2. mild left hydronephrosis, new compared to prior study of . 3. post-surgical changes within the upper abdomen status post splenectomy and liver . . mri l-spine with gad (): 1. no evidence of osteomyelitis, discitis or other spinal infection. 2. chronic post-operative changes at l4-l5 with underlying degenerative disease and congenital stenosis. this is most prominent at l4-l5 and l5-s1, where there is probable impingement upon the left-sided traversing nerve roots in those subarticular zones. 3. diffusely t1- and t2-hypointense vertebral bone marrow signal may relate to the immunosuppressive medications for hepatic patient's and/or chronic hematologic abnormality (history of itp, s/p splenectomy); correlate with clinical and laboratory data. 4. mild paraortic lymphadenopathy and urinary bladder distention with diverticulum, unchanged from ct. . cta chest (): 1. progression of multifocal opacities suggesting pneumonia with consolidative opacities within the right upper, lower, and left lower lobes. overall similar to slightly worsened appearance of axillary and mediastinal lymphadenopathy, probably reactive in etiology, although not specific. 2. new left pleural effusion and progressed right pleural effusion. 3. smooth septal thickening suggesting fluid overload or pulmonary vascular congestion. 4. unchanged vascular including coronary artery calcifications. 5. unchanged appearance to post- liver and splenectomy, only partly visualized. . tte (): the left atrium is mildly dilated. left ventricular wall thicknesses are normal. the left ventricular cavity size is normal. overall left ventricular systolic function is low normal (lvef 50%) secondary to severe hypokinesis/akinesis of the basal inferior, posterior, and lateral walls. there is no ventricular septal defect. right ventricular chamber size and free wall motion are normal. the aortic valve leaflets are mildly thickened (?#). there is a minimally increased gradient consistent with minimal aortic valve stenosis. the mitral valve leaflets are mildly thickened. there is no mitral valve prolapse. severe posteriorly directed (4+) mitral regurgitation is seen. the mitral regurgitation is due to centripetal remodelling of the inferior posterior walls with consequent functional tethering of the posterior mitral leaflet. moderate tricuspid regurgitation is seen. there is moderate pulmonary artery systolic hypertension. there is no pericardial effusion. compared with the findings of the prior study (images reviewed) of , intercurrent inferoposterolateral infarct is evident with consequent severe mitral regurgitation. . cardiac catheterization (): 1. selective coronary angiography in this right dominant system revealed two vessel disease. the lmca was normal. the lad has minimal disease. the lcx had tubular mid disease to 95%. the rca is dominant but very small vessel with mid disease to 90%. 2. limited resting hemodynamics revealed normal systemic arterial pressure with central aortic pressure 119/66 with a mean of 75 mmhg. 3. severe lcx lesion probably culprit for new lateral wall motion abnormality and increased mr - stented successfully. 4. severe rca disease suboptimal for pci in view of long lesion and small caliber - would consider pci if producing ischemia. 5. monitor in ccu and follow mr. 6. aspirin indefinitely, plavix 75mg daily for a minimum of one month final diagnosis: 1. two vessel coronary artery disease. 2. successful bare metal stenting of lcx. . . tte (): the left atrium and right atrium are normal in cavity size. overall left ventricular systolic function is normal (lvef>55%). right ventricular chamber size and free wall motion are normal. the aortic valve leaflets are mildly thickened (?#). there is no aortic valve stenosis. no aortic regurgitation is seen. the mitral valve leaflets are mildly thickened. moderate to severe (3+) mitral regurgitation is seen. there is mild pulmonary artery systolic hypertension. there is no pericardial effusion. compared with the prior study (images reviewed) of , the findings are similar. . ct chest (): ct chest (): 1. improving, though still extensive, multifocal pneumonia. 2. improved pulmonary edema which is now mild, including decreased pleural effusions. 3. extensive coronary artery calcifications. 4. retention of iv contrast in the renal cortices, likely from cardiac catheterization two days prior, compatible with renal dysfunction. . ct chest (): 1. persistent multifocal right-sided patchy airspace consolidations, compatible with persistent multifocal pneumonia. however, there is slight improvement of aeration since . near-complete resolution of left-sided pneumonia with only small patchy focal airspace consolidations in the left base. no cavitary lesion. the constellation of findings is compatible with continued improvement without acute complication. 2. likely reactive mediastinal and bihilar lymph nodes. 3. status post liver transplantation and splenectomy. egd (): varices at the lower third of the esophagus. food in the stomach. angioectasias in the antrum (thermal therapy). duodenal bezoar otherwise normal egd to third part of the duodenum . colonoscopy (): 1. estimated blood loss: none. 2. specimens: none 3. final diagnosis: small punctate lesions in rectum, without active bleeding, consistent with proctitis. otherwise normal colonoscopy to cecum. brief hospital course: the patient is a 57 yo male with h/o hcv cirrhosis c/b hcc s/p distant olt, itp s/p splenectomy and myelofibrosis admitted with h. flu pna. his hospital course was complicated by klebsiella pneumonia, worsening mitral regurgitation s/p cardiac catheterization with bms x2 to the lcx, lower gi bleed and recurrent epistaxis, now clinically stable. . #. community acquired pneumonia: the patient presented with productive cough and fever on . he was initially treated with ceftriaxone/azithromycin/vanc for presumed hcap, and he was also started on tamiflu for presumed influenza. his sputum eventually grew out h. flu, so he completed a course of ceftriaxone/azithromycin. he continued to have a leukocytosis and productive cough and was found to have klebsiella pna on . he was then started on ciprofloxacin, for which he completed the course of antibiotics. he had a repeat chest ct on , which demonstrated improvement of the multifocal pneumonia and he had a bronchoscopy on , from which the cultures were negative. his cxr prior to discharge remained consistent with multifocal pneumonia. he has a follow-up appointment with his outpatient pulmonologist, dr. , on . he should have a repeat ct chest performed in weeks to assess for radiographic improvement. . #. gatrointestinal bleeding: the patient developed a lower gi bleed on . he had an egd, which demonstrated grade i varcies and avm and flexible sigmoidoscopy showed fresh blood in colon without source of bleeding. he received 5 during his hospital stay, and he remained hemodynamically stable without evidence of bleeding for one week prior to discharge. he will be followed in the liver center after discharge. . # mitral regurgiation: the patient developed worsening shortness of breath and chest pain on . he had a tte performed, which demonstrated worsening mitral regurgitation, and there was concern for inferolateral hypokinesis, thought to be secondary to ischemia. he was taken to the cath lab on , where he had the two bare metal stents placed to the left circumflex artery. after the cath lab he was transferred to the ccu due to hypoxia post procedure. during his stay in the ccu he was aggressively diuresed with improvement in his oxygen saturations. cardiology recommended not repairing valve now, and there is also no indication for pci in rca at this time. a repeat echo was done on which showed improvement in his mr and wall hypokinesis, somewhat unclear if this was related to the intervention in the cath lab or to improvement in cardiac function with diuresis. he was started on metoprolol, which was uptitrated to 37.5 mg tid by the time of discharge. he was also started on plavix 75 mg daily and aspirin 325 mg daily, which should be decreased to 81 mg daily on . he was not started on a statin given his history of hcc. he should have a repeat tte performed in weeks. he will follow up with dr. at hospital on for management of his mr. # epistaxis: the patient developed a nose bleed on . packing was placed in his nostril to tamponade the bleeding, and this was removed on . he also completed a 5-day course of keflex for the bleeding. he was started on afrin nasal spray on for a three day course, which was completed at the time of discharge. . # myelofibrosis, itp w/ residual splenule: he was seen by hematology who confirmed that he had myelofibrosis. his peripheral smear was notable for eosinophils and hematology was concerned that he could have chronic eosinophilic pneumonia. flow cytometry, bcr-abl, and fish for pdgfr-alpha and rar-alpha were sent. the patient's transfusion goals were set at: hct < 30 and platelets < 15k. he did not receive any platelets during his hospital course, but he was given 5 for his lower gi bleed. of note, his baseline wbc is in the 30s and his baseline platelet count is in the 40s. he will follow-up with his outpatient hematologist on discharge. . # hcc s/p olt: the patient was continued on tacrolimus and his levels were checked daily with a goal of . . # chronic lbp: the patient has a history of low back pain, for which he takes tylenol at home. during this hospital stay, his pain was controlled with oxycodone, morphine, tylenol, gabapentin, and a lidocaine patch. . # bph: no active issues. he was continued on his home dose of tamsulosin 0.4mg daily . #. hydronephrosis on ct chest: his creatinine was 1.6 on arrival and improved to 1.2. it was later elevated to 1.5. the wet read of his renal ultrasound showed no hydronephrosis or stone. . #. hepatitis c: he had a history of hcc with rfa in for lesions in segment v and viii. he is s/p liver 4 yrs ago and on prograf. his hep c viral load was high during this admission and his ct scan in showed no evidence of local recurrence or metastatic disease. his ct of the chest did reveal multiple perigarstric varices. he was continued on his home prograf dose and home nadolol. . #. hyponatremia: his home hctz was held in the setting of his hyponatremia. . #. h.o dvt: he had a dvt in but given his low platelet count he remained on pneumoboots during his hospitalization. . # code:

edema and swelling. no hydronephrosis was noted. shortness of breath increased with respiratory rate of 38,decreased breath sounds, bp of 170/88 and temperature of 100.6. 100% non-rebreather was placed on patient with o2 sat increased to 96%. transfered to sicu for worsening abgs. cxr revealed interstitial markings/edema. labs revealed wbc of 8.4, hct 27.4, creatinine of 3.3, bun 51, potassium 3, sodium 133 and bicarb 14. iv bicarb was started. sputum was sent for pcp as well as a cmv viral load and bk pcr. dapsone was changed to bactrim and valcyte was decreased to qod.empiric zosyn and levaquin were started with zosyn later changed to iv vancomycin. nephrology was consulted for increased creatinine and decreased urine output. on a transplant kidney biopsy was performed by nephrology without complications. on a pulmonary consult was obtained. diuresis was recommended for dyspnea/hypoxia consistent with fluid overload given cxr changes and low urine output. pcp was less likely dianosis, but induced sputum was ordered for viral pathogens and pcp. infectious disease consult was also obtained. nasal aspirate for viral cultures, sputum, and cultures were recommended as well as changing stavudine to 20mg q 24 hours for creatinine clearance of 10-25cc/min. on he received 2 units of prbc for a hematocrit of 22.3. on a steroid pulse was given pending renal biopsy results. consequently hyperglycemia occurred necessitating an insulin drip. iv vancomycin was stopped on per id recommendations as urine and blood cultures were negative. on the renal biopsy results were postive for acute cellular rejection (acr)/endothelitis. atg was initiated. on he was transfered out of sicu to the medical-surgical unit with improved respiratory status. pulmonary signed off as

drop three times per day to both eyes. pertinent radiology/imaging: cardiac catheterization showed left vein and 3-vessel disease with an ejection fraction of 45%. cardiac catheterization today just showed left vein 60% left anterior descending artery, 60% to 80% first diagonal, 100% left circumflex, and 90% ostial right coronary artery. his preoperative chest x-ray showed no acute cardiopulmonary disease. on , he had ultrasounds done which showed a right internal carotid stenosis of 60% to 69%, a left internal carotid stenosis of less than 40%. please refer to the final dictated report. physical examination on presentation: on examination, blood pressure was 166/77, oxygen saturation was 100% on room air, respiratory rate was 18, and heart rate was 55. his left eye pupil appeared larger but both were reactive. sclerae were anicteric. he had well-healed scars bilaterally on his neck. his lungs were clear. his heart was regular in rate and rhythm. normal first heart sounds and second heart sounds. no murmurs. his abdominal examination was benign with good bowel sounds and no hepatosplenomegaly. his extremities were warm and well perfused with no cyanosis, clubbing, or edema, or varicosities. he had good peripheral pulses throughout. pertinent laboratory values on presentation: his creatine kinase peaked at at 384 with a troponin of 8.35. he had q waves in his inferior leads. his preoperative laboratories were as follows; white blood cell count was 5.8, hematocrit was 36.5, and platelet count was 162,000. prothrombin time was 13.1, partial thromboplastin time was 40.9, and inr was 1.1. sodium was 134, potassium was 3.9, chloride was 104, bicarbonate was 22, blood urea nitrogen was 22, creatinine was 0.9, and blood glucose was 87. alt was 22, ast was 28, alkaline phosphatase was 64, total bilirubin was 0.5, and albumin was 3.7. creatine kinase was 270 followed by 320. troponin was 8.3. hospital course: plavix was placed on hold. on , he underwent coronary artery bypass graft times four with a left internal mammary artery to the left anterior descending artery, saphenous vein graft to posterior descending artery, saphenous vein graft from obtuse marginal to diagonal. coming off bypass, the patient experienced right ventricular failure and went back on bypass with drug manipulations. additional echocardiography showed an ejection fraction still approximately 35% to 40% with moderate mitral regurgitation, moderate aortic insufficiency, and moderate tricuspid regurgitation and aortic regurgitation. intra-aortic balloon pump was still in good position which had been placed. the patient went back on bypass a third time for increased right ventricular failure and increasingly unstable vital signs. the patient was placed on right heart bypass with cannulas in the right atrium and pulmonary artery going into the left pulmonary artery. this was confirmed by an echocardiogram. the patient was brought to the cardiothoracic intensive care unit with a right heart bypass cannulation in place. the patient was profoundly hypoxic and acidotic. he was unresponsive on examination and was successfully sedated. he was on the following drips: amiodarone at 1, dobutamine at 2.5, epinephrine at 0.3, and levophed at 0.8, lidocaine at 2, and pitressin at 0.2. his heart rate was 98. he was atrially paced with a blood pressure of 93/41. intra-aortic balloon pump was at 1:1. he was fully supported by the ventilator with a blood gas of 7.27/35/41/17/-9. temperature maximum was 93.9. hematocrit was 20.8. he was on an insulin drip also. he remained fully on swan-ganz catheter and monitored with maximum pressors and inotropic support. he was critically hypoxic with instructions to do no cardiopulmonary resuscitation but to defibrillate only. the patient was seen by a renal fellow on . please note to refer to the patient's operative note. in the operating room, the patient coded and was asystolic on the way out of the operating room and then went back to the operating room on bypass times three. that was when the intra-aortic balloon pump was placed and the right ventricular assist device was placed, as the right ventricular wall was not moving. in addition, to the saphenous vein graft to the right coronary artery. please refer to dr. operative report. it was the impression of the renal consultation that the patient's urine output had slowly resumed. his blood pressure had increased to a mean arterial pressure of greater than 70, but the prognosis was very poor. they recommended continuous venovenous hemofiltration for fluid removal and oxygenation to help improve it, but the patient was clearly hypoxic and had cardiogenic shock. he also had lactic acidosis and congestive heart failure. the hypernatremia was likely secondary to multiple ampules of bicarbonate given during the operation. the left femoral venous dialysis was placed under sterile conditions in the intensive care unit on in preparation for continuous venovenous hemofiltration. the patient was seen again the next morning by the renal service with the right ventricular assist device still in place and massive volume overload after dor noted on maximal ventilatory support with acute renal failure secondary to the prolong hypertension. the right ventricular assist device remained in place at that time. blood pressure dropped with the fluid removal. on postoperative day two, the pressors were slowly weaned. the patient received two units of packed red blood cells, and his positive end-expiratory pressure was increased. the patient was unresponsive with no movement. the patient was on a levophed drip, amiodarone drip, epinephrine drip, and milrinone, as well as dobutamine drip, lidocaine drip, as well as pitressin drip. heart rate was 76, a-paced. blood pressure was 118/48. blood gas that morning was 7.47/26/63/19/-2 with a temperature maximum of 99.5. white blood cell count was 16.7. hematocrit was 45. platelet count was 121. sodium was 132, potassium was 4.6, blood urea nitrogen was 22, creatinine was 2.3, chloride was 97, bicarbonate was 18, and blood glucose was 104. the patient was continued on propofol sedation. lidocaine was decreased to 1. the patient was continued on perioperative vancomycin. levofloxacin was also added in. the patient remained critically ill in the intensive care unit. the patient continued to have low-flows and low blood pressures on his right ventricular assist device with coarse breath sounds. he was sedated and intubated with massive anasarca. his extremities appeared to have anasarca emboli and were warm. his blood urea nitrogen was 27 with a creatinine of 2.6. his hematocrit dropped from 48 to 32.2. he remained on amiodarone drip at 0.5, lidocaine drip at 1, dobutamine drip at 2.5, epinephrine drip at 0.3, levophed drip at 0.27, and milrinone drip at 0.25, vasopressin drip at 0.08, neo-synephrine drip at 1.4, propofol drip at 20, insulin drip at 1, as well as perioperative antibiotics. he was continued on his right ventricular assist device and his intra-aortic balloon pump with acute tubular necrosis and was requiring vasopressors and on inotropic support. he had a poor potassium clearance, by renal service, suggesting extreme/extensive recirculation of fluid. he continued with continuous venovenous hemofiltration. the te showed some right ventricular function remaining. a pericardial clot was evacuated at the bedside, and his pressure dropped slightly. he remained on all of his inotropic and vasopressor support. he was fully sedated, intubated, and paralyzed. he was continued on perioperative antibiotics. the plan was to try and wean his sedation, and try weaning his right ventricular assist device, and transfuse him as needed, with orders to defibrillate only. he was seen by clinical nutrition service for a discussion of starting some parenteral nutrition, but the patient continued to decline and stopped responding to his drugs with any full measure. on , at approximately 7:30 p.m., the family had made the decision to stop all pressors and withdraw support. at 7 p.m., all infusions were stopped. the patient developed profound hypotension, his rhythm deteriorated to asystole. at 7:25 p.m., the pupils were fixed and dilated. there was no cardiac activity or spontaneous respirations. the patient was pronounced dead. the family was present. dr. was notified. postmortem was declined by the family. please refer to the death note by dr. . the patient expired in the cardiothoracic intensive care unit on at 7:30 p.m. please refer to dr. operative report. , m.d. dictated by: medquist36 Procedure: Single internal mammary-coronary artery bypass Extracorporeal

history of present illness: this is a 58-year-old male with coronary artery disease, who presents with a 3-week history of chest pain at bed rest, who presented to an outside hospital on after having an episode of severe chest pain. he was already scheduled for an exercise stress test by his primary care physician for this date. he had been chest pain free since his stent five years ago. however, three weeks ago he had started having jaw pain (which may be his anginal equivalent) while lying in bed. the patient was unable to get a cardiac catheterization done at the outside hospital secondary to insurance noncoverage. he was given lovenox, integrilin, lopressor, intravenous nitroglycerin and then transferred to for further workup; however, chest pain free. past medical history: (this is a 58-year-old male with a past medical history significant for) 1. coronary artery disease, status post right coronary artery stent five years ago. 2. type 2 diabetes for 20 years. 3. high cholesterol. 4. hypertension. 5. depression since . medications on admission: the patient's medications prior to admission were lipitor, tiazac, aspirin, toprol-xl, glucotrol, glucophage, and prozac. allergies: the patient has allergies to penicillin and amoxicillin. hospital course: a cardiac catheterization was performed on at which revealed severe 3-vessel coronary artery disease with preserved left ventricular function. the patient underwent a coronary artery bypass grafting times three on ; with left internal mammary artery to the left anterior descending artery, saphenous vein graft to the posterior descending artery, saphenous vein graft to the obtuse marginal. the patient was transferred in stable condition to the cardiothoracic surgery recovery unit on propofol at 10 mcg/kg per minute as well as a nitroglycerin drip. the patient was weaned an extubated at 6 p.m. on the day of surgery. he had a labile blood pressure which was titrated with nitroglycerin, neo-synephrine, intravenous fluids, and 2 units of packed red blood cells. his blood pressure remained stable after the volume and transfusion as well as low-dose neo-synephrine, and the patient's anxiety was relieved with pain medication and verbal support. on postoperative day one, the patient remained afebrile. vital signs were stable, in sinus rhythm. white blood cell count was 5.3, hematocrit was 26.5, platelet count was 169. sodium was 138, potassium was 4.5, blood urea nitrogen was 13, creatinine was 0.9, and blood glucose was 123 on no drips with a plan to start his beta blocker later on that day as well as the lasix, and to transfer the patient to the floor. the patient was transferred to the floor on postoperative day one. however, on the morning of postoperative day two, the patient went into a sinus tachycardia with rates above 150s. he was given 5 mg of intravenous lopressor times two, and his p.o. lopressor was increased to 25 mg p.o. b.i.d. his blood pressure was stable, and the patient was asymptomatic. also on postoperative day two, the patient was complaining of a headache which he had reportedly had all night. the patient vital signs were stable. the patient with a low-grade fever of 99.3; however, he was still tachycardic. the patient was found to be in atrial fibrillation/atrial flutter which started at around 6 a.m. that morning. initially in sinus tachycardia, but in atrial flutter when slowed. he was given intravenous amiodarone 150 mg bolus as well as amiodarone 400 mg p.o. t.i.d. the plan was to get a neurology consultation for the headache. neurology came to consult with the patient for this headache, and they felt that given the recent history of coronary artery bypass graft and sudden onset of headache, and its severity in developing after falling back to bed yesterday, it was important to rule out a cerebral hemorrhage. they felt that although the patient had photophobia associated with this headache, a migraine was unlikely because of the nature of the headache. the plan was to get a head ct without contrast, to transfuse 2 units of packed red blood cells (because of his low hematocrit), and to administer fioricet one tablet p.o. q.6h. for 24 hours, then q.4h. as needed for pain, as well as to volume replete with intravenous fluids given the increased creatinine which would exacerbate his headache, to consider transfusion, to keep hematocrit greater than 30. on postoperative day three, the patient remained with a low-grade fever with a temperature maximum of 100.9 and temperature current of 98.9. heart rate was 76. in sinus rhythm. the plan was to continue the fioricet. the patient was responding well to this medication, and he continued the amiodarone. it was decided to hold off on the head ct at that time. on postoperative day four, the patient had no complaints overnight. the patient remained afebrile. vital signs were stable with a heart rate of 75 and in sinus rhythm. the plan was to keep ambulating, and if at level v today the patient would be able to be discharged home with an expected discharge date of . the patient's laboratories included a white blood cell count of 4.5, a hematocrit of 22.2, platelet count was 169. sodium was 139, potassium was 4.5, blood urea nitrogen was 22, creatinine was 1.2, and blood glucose was 169. physical examination on the patient's probable day of discharge revealed the patient was stable, afebrile, in sinus rhythm. the patient was awake and alert times three. moved all of his extremities. his lungs were clear to auscultation bilaterally. his heart was regular in rate and rhythm with no murmurs. his sternum was stable. his incision was with steri-strips, clean and dry. his abdomen was benign. his extremities were warm and well perfused with a right saphenous vein graft site clean and dry; no edema. medications on discharge: (his discharge medications were) 1. aspirin 325 mg p.o. q.d. 2. metoprolol 25 mg p.o. b.i.d. 3. amiodarone 400 mg p.o. q.d. 4. lasix 20 mg p.o. q.d. (times seven days). 5. potassium chloride 20 meq p.o. q.d. (times seven days). 6. metformin 1000 mg p.o. b.i.d. 7. glyburide 5 mg p.o. b.i.d. 8. percocet one to two tablets p.o. q.4h. as needed for pain. 9. ibuprofen 400 mg to 600 mg p.o. q.4-6h. as needed for pain. discharge status: the patient was discharged to home. condition at discharge: in stable condition. discharge followup: the patient to follow up with dr. in four weeks and with his primary care physician in three to four weeks. discharge diagnoses: 1. coronary artery disease. 2. hypertension. 3. hypercholesterolemia. 4. type 2 diabetes. 5. depression. , m.d. dictated by: medquist36 Procedure: Single internal mammary-coronary artery bypass Extracorporeal circulation auxiliary to open heart surgery Coronary arteriography using two catheters (Aorto)coronary bypass of two coronary arteries Angiocardiography of left heart structures Left heart cardiac catheterization Diagnoses: Coronary atherosclerosis of native coronary artery Pure hypercholesterolemia Unspecified essential hypertension Cardiac complications, not elsewhere classified Atrial fibrillation Depressive disorder, not elsewhere classified Percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty status Other and unspecified angina pectoris
