adenocarcinoma consistent with colonic origin; involves serosa of small bowel : peritoneal fluid: positive for malignancy, consistent with adenocarcinoma 6:30 pm urine source: catheter. final report urine culture (final ): yeast. >100,000 organisms/ml.. brief hospital course: 75 year old man with colon cancer s/p hemicolectomy and s/p bilateral ureteral stent placement initially admitted to the for ugib in setting of constipation and hematuria. was transferred to the floor once hemodynamically stable. ugib resolved, but constipation persisted. after an extensive workup, was found to have a partial lbo likely secondary to malignancy. . #1. partial lbo: the patient reported chronic constipation (bm q 7 days) worsening over the prior 3 weeks. had + flatus, but passing only very small stools. kub was suggestive of obstruction. flex sig and colonoscopy were initially attempted but failed to pass beyond 20 cm with poor visualization due to stool. the patient did not tolerate ngt decompression. a pet/ct showed dilated loops of small and large bowel with no vdg avid foci. a second attempt at colonoscopy showed an obstruction at approximately 30 cm beyond which the scope could not pass. gastrografin enemas were refused by the patient. mr d marked small and large bowel dilation with a transition point at the colosigmoid junction. this is likely due to external compression from metastatic disease. clinically, the patient's abdomen remains distended and tympanic, but soft and nontender. he continues to have flatus and very small, liquid stools. there is no abdominal pain and no nausea/vomiting. he was placed on tpn for persistent poor po intake. he was taken to the or on for palliative ileostomy. . #2. ugib: the patient initially presented with coffee grounds emesis in setting of constipation. etiology of ugib thought to be likely tear from repeated emesis. ng tube was placed to suction with gastroccult positive. stable hemodynamically during stay. the patient has not had a dramatic drop in hct. remained hd stable during stay without current evidence of active bleed. gi consulted performed egd showing food in the esophagus without evidence of active bleed. hct was trended upwards and the patient was maintained on ppis. . #3. uti/hematuria: likely related to foley and recent stent placement. was treated as complicated uti for 7 days with ciprofloxacin per urology. course has been completed. blood and urine cultures were negative. foley has since been d/ced and there is no evidence of uti. the patient is urinary incontinent. . #4. ureteral obstruction/s/p stent placement: the patient's creatinine has improved, max 2.5, down to 1.2 currently, since placement of bilateral stents and passing adequate uop. post void residuals have been <200. per urology recs, if >200, should give prophylactic antibiotics. . #5. s/p cva: the patient was kept on aggrenox. it was held on in anticipation of surgical intervention. . #6. htn: lisinopril was held in the setting of normal bps. . #7. hyperlipidemia: statin was discontinued on in the setting of lbo. . #8.8 diabetes: diet controlled at home. had fs qid and insulin sliding scale. . #9. h/o prostate cancer: the patient was continued on his home dose of flomax. he has been urinary incontinent. . #10. depression: the patient was continued on his home does of ssris. . ppx: pneumoboots, heparin sc code: dnr/dni emergency contact: wife surgery: patient continue to have symptoms of partial small bowel obstruction, poor food tolerance, abdominal distension and pain. he had a mri that showed extensive dilated loops of small bowel and colon with apparent transition deep in the pelvis at distal colon. the decision was made to take him to the operating room. on for exploratory laparotomy, we founded a copious amount of clear ascitic fluid in the abdominal cavity. palpation of the abdomen revealed carcinomatosis studding the mesentery, the small bowel, the residual large bowel and the liver. there was a loop of small bowel in the right lower quadrant that was solidly adherent to the retroperitoneum. he had a loop ileostomy in order to try to decrease acute symptoms of bowel obstruction. the patient was admitted to the general surgical service for evaluation and treatment. after a brief, uneventful stay in the pacu, the patient arrived on the floor npo, on iv fluids and antibiotics, with a foley catheter. the patient was hemodynamically stable. cv: the patient remained stable from a cardiovascular standpoint; vital signs were routinely monitored. post-operatively, the patient was made npo with iv fluids. diet was advanced when appropiate, which was well tolerated. patient's intake and output were closely monitored, and iv fluid was adjusted when necessary. electrolytes were routinely followed, and repleted when necessary. palliative care was consulted, they had an extensive meeting with patient and family. they both understand the goals of care are palliative and comfort oriented, patient and family decided they would like to have hospice involvement. ostomy nurse service was consulted, they worked extensively on ostomy care teaching and management. prophylaxis: the patient received subcutaneous heparin and venodyne boots were used during this stay; was encouraged to get up and ambulate as early as possible. patient was discharge to hospice for pain management and comfort. medications on admission: lipitor 10mg po daily flomax 0.4mg po daily keflex 500mg po tid since tylenol #3 prn lisinopril 10mg po daily effexor xr 37.5mg po

he made the decision to go home with hospice. his two biggest issues on the medical floor were hypoglycemia (he does not eat because he has no appetite), and he had low blood sugars for several nights requiring d50; followed along and adjusted his sliding daily. the decision was made to not give his sliding scale unless he eats and to give the sliding scale insulin after the meal. his other issue was tachycardia (sinus tachycardia in the 100's at rest increasing to 150's with ambulation); this was attributed to his known pulmonary embolism and was not treated. medications on admission: (per review of omr - last reviewed ; patient unable to confirm) albuterol 90 mcg/actuation aerosol 1-2 puffs ih q 6hrs prn wheeze alprazolam 0.5 mg tablet 1 tablet(s) by mouth three times a day depakote er 500mg po qam, 1000mg po qhs dronabinol 5mg capsule 3 (three) capsule(s) by mouth twice daily, before lunch and dinner as needed for loss of appetitie, nausea insulin detemir dosage uncertain insulin lispro 100 unit/ml solution ssi as directed by jdc four times a day metoclopramide 10 mg tablet 1 tablet(s) by mouth three times a day morphine 15mg tablet sustained release 3 (three) tablet(s) by mouth twice daily omeprazole dosage uncertain oxycodone-acetaminophen 5 mg-325 mg tablet tablet(s) by mouth every 4-6 hours as needed for pain prochlorperazine maleate 10 mg tablet 1 (one) tablet(s) by mouth every six (6) hours as needed for nausea quetiapine 300 mg tablet 1 tablet(s) by mouth twice a day, plus 100mg po qhs venlafaxine 75mg tab,sust rel osmotic push 24hr 3 (three) tab(s) by mouth qd dosing per psych docusate sodium 100 mg capsule 1 (one) capsule(s) by mouth twice a day (otc) nicotine 21 mg/24 hour patch 24 hr 1 patch(s) daily (daily) senna 8.6 mg tablet 1 tablet(s) by mouth twice a day as needed for constipation discharge medications: 1. morphine 15 mg tablet sig: one (1) tablet po q4h (every 4 hours) as needed for pain. disp:*120 tablet(s)* refills:*0* 2. divalproex 500 mg tablet sustained release 24 hr sig: one (1) tablet sustained release 24 hr po qam (once a day (in the morning)). 3. quetiapine 100 mg tablet sig: one (1) tablet po qhs (once a day (at bedtime)). 4. divalproex 500 mg tablet sustained release 24 hr sig: two (2) tablet sustained release 24 hr po qhs (once a day (at bedtime)). 5. quetiapine 100 mg tablet sig: three (3) tablet po bid (2 times a day). 6. venlafaxine 75 mg capsule, sust. release 24 hr sig: three (3) capsule, sust. release 24 hr po daily (daily). 7. metoclopramide 10 mg tablet sig: one (1) tablet po qidachs (4 times a day (before meals and at bedtime)). 8. morphine 15 mg tablet sustained release sig: one (1) tablet sustained release po q12h (every 12 hours). disp:*60 tablet sustained release(s)* refills:*0* 9. pantoprazole 40 mg tablet, delayed release (e.c.) sig: one (1) tablet, delayed release (e.c.) po q12h (every 12 hours). disp:*60 tablet, delayed release (e.c.)(s)* refills:*2* 10. insulin glargine 300 unit/3 ml insulin pen sig: ten (10) units subcutaneous at bedtime. disp:*1 pen* refills:*2* 11. insulin lispro 100 unit/ml insulin pen sig: one (1) injection subcutaneous after meals and at bedtime as needed for sliding scale insulin: according to sliding scale. disp:*1 pen* refills:*5* 12. albuterol sulfate 90 mcg/actuation hfa aerosol inhaler sig: 1-2 puffs inhalation four times a day as needed for shortness of breath or wheezing. disp:*2 inhalers* refills:*3* 13. lovenox 60 mg/0.6 ml syringe sig: one (1) subcutaneous twice a day. disp:*60 60mg* refills:*2* discharge disposition: home with service facility: vna care hospice discharge diagnosis: diabetic ketoacidosis upper gi bleeding pulmonary embolism deep venous thrombosis s/p placement of ivc filter stage iv non small cell lung cancer secondary: brittle type i diabetes discharge condition: stable, normal oxygen saturations discharge instructions: you were admitted with diabetic ketoacidosis and were admitted to the intensive care unit. you developed bleeding in your upper gi tract and were intubated for airway protection. during the hospitalization, you were found to have a pulmonary embolism and deep venous thrombosis. you are being discharged home with hospice. . please take all of your medications as prescribed. if you develop any worsening pain, nausea, vomiting, shortness of breath, or any other concerning symptoms, please contact your hospice nurse. followup instructions: the following appointment has been scheduled for you, should you wish to keep it: provider: , md phone: date/time: 9:00 (hematology/oncology) please attend the following appointments: dr.

secondary progressive multiple sclerosis, wheelchair bound, with dm2 on hypoglycemics presented to his pcp office with 24 hours of fatigue, decreased appetite, and decreased urination. pt reported that he normally self-caths q8h but did not feel the need to do so in the last 24 hours. reports that he has had gradually increasing weakness and decreased ability to transfer himself out of his wheelchair. he reported nasal congestion, cough, and malaise for several days prior. in his pcp's office, he was found to have pyuria and a wbc to 24, and was refered to the ed. in the ed, initial vs were: t 97.0 p 80 bp 104/43 r 20. he was noted to be resting comfortably, and reported continued penile discomfort and mild nausea. he was noted to have mild abdominal tenderness on exam. he was found to have a lactate of 6.3, wbc 26, and creatinine 2.8 (baseline ~1.0) as well as a k 8.5 and glucose of 601. . he was subsequently given 50meq of bicarb and calcium gluconate 2mg for membrane stabilization, and started on an insulin drip and given 4l ns, with subsequent decrease of his glucose to 467 and then 215. his potassium decreased to 4.8, but his lactate remained elevated at 4.9. he received ceftriaxone for his uti. he was subsequently noted to have a systolic pressure to 75, thus a central line was started and he was given empiric vancomycin and zosyn due to his prior mild abdominal tenderness on exam. however, a subsequent ct scan did not demonstrate an acute intraabdominal process. due to consistently low pressures, he was started on levophed before transition to the floor. on arrival to the micu, his initial vitals were t 95.3, p 81, bp 99/62, r 22, 98% on ra. he stated that he was comfortable but felt weak and very tired. his saline was switched to d51/2 and his insulin reduced. an arterial line was placed due to his need for invasive management and pressor support. review of systems: (+) per hpi (-) denies chills, night sweats, recent weight loss or gain.

clinically appropriate, standard pa and lateral radiographs are recommended with optimal inspiration in order to reassess when possible clinically. correlation with prior radiographs, if available, could also be helpful. ct of the abdomen: 1. no acute intra-abdominal or intrapelvic process detected. specifically, there is no abscess. the appendix is not visualized, however, no secondary signs of

<=1 s brief hospital course: 71m w/multiple sclerosis and dm2 presented with urosepsis and dka. # urosepsis: pt has long-term ms leading to neurogenic bladder and a need for constant self-catheterisation and predisposition for the uti. per history patient was catheterizing less frequently with large quantities due to reduced urge. he was briefly septic with elevated lactate and wbc count, and hypotension requiring pressors in the icu. he was initially started on broad spectrum antibiotics including vancomycin and zosyn subsequently changed to vanco, cefepime, and levofloxacin. urine culture eventually gre pansensitive klebsiella pneumonia. he was continued on a 14 day course of ciprofloxacin, last day . pt was educated on methods of reducing risk of uti including frequent catheterization using sterile technique. pt should be self catheterizing at minimum three times a day, but usually more frequently. no more than 400cc urine should be kept in the bladder at any given time. larger quantities of output suggest patient should be catheterizing more frequently (4-5 times daily). he is expected to require some assistance with catheterization at rehab. # diabetes:although the patient is a type 2 diabetic on oral hypoglycemics, on presentation he had positive urine ketones and acidosis with blood glucose in the 600s. although his glucose has been moderately well-controlled on his home regimen, his concurrent sepsis and ensuing inflammatory state may have his blood glucose has been responsive to insulin ss . as his renal function improved, medical team preferred to resume oral hypoglycemic agents, which was preferable to patient also. . # : probably prerenal in origin due to hypotension/urosepsis. creatinine was improved at time of discharge was 1.0. pt was also noted to have hydroureter suggesting post renal pressure and that more frequent catheterization may be indicated. # ms: pt presents with no acute neurological sequelae. his weakness is likely due to his hypotension and sepsis. at time of discharge patient was working with physical therapy, compentent with transfers on board, (reduced from baseline which is standing on transfers). he will require daily physical therapy for strengthening. # h/o dvt/pe: pt was maintained on anticoagulation. inr was subtherapeutic at time of discharge (inr 1.6). warfarin was increased to 5mg daily and will likely need close monitoring in the short term(every other day) until tirated to inr , then again after discontinuation of ciprofloxain on . # depression: patient seemed to be in low mood with increased fixation on certain ideas. for example he was initially very concerned with the idea of starting insulin and became very fixated. later it was regarding self catheterization. this was discussed with dr. . patient had previously been on celexa and seroquel as outpatient. they were held on admission, and continued to be held upon discovery that he had not been compliant with celexa. there was concern seroquel would cause sedation in the acute setting. can be restarted when patient at baseline health. pt was full code during his admission. contact

hydroxide preparation (final ): no fungal elements seen. renal us: the right kidney measures 10.5 cm and the left kidney measures 10.3 cm. a 3.7 x 2.5 cm upper pole cyst of the right kidney is identified. there are multiple shadowing echogenic foci compatible with renal stones which are unchanged compared to the previous examination. a foley balloon is present within the bladder, which is decompressed and unable to be assessed. echo: the left atrium is normal in size. left ventricular wall thicknesses are normal. the left ventricular cavity size is top normal/borderline dilated. regional left ventricular wall motion is normal. overall left ventricular systolic function is normal (lvef>55%). tissue doppler imaging suggests a normal left ventricular filling pressure (pcwp<12mmhg). right ventricular chamber size and free wall motion are normal. the aortic valve leaflets are mildly thickened. there is a 1.0 cm moderate-sized mass on the aortic valve (best seen in clips 52, 55) which may be consistent with a vegetation; however, a prolapsed leaflet cannot be excluded. there is no valvular aortic stenosis. the increased transaortic velocity is likely related to high cardiac output. there is no valvular aortic stenosis. the increased transaortic velocity is likely related to increased stroke volume due to aortic regurgitation. moderate to severe (3+) aortic regurgitation is seen. the aortic regurgitation jet is eccentric. the mitral valve leaflets are mildly thickened. there is no mitral valve prolapse. no mass or vegetation is seen on the mitral valve. contrast barium esophagram: no evidence for stricture or obstructing lesion in the visualized portion of the esophagus. tertialy contractions. tee: no spontaneous echo contrast or thrombus is seen in the body of the left atrium or left atrial appendage. no atrial septal defect is seen by 2d or color doppler. overall left ventricular systolic function is low normal (lvef 50-55%). right ventricular chamber size and free wall motion are normal. right ventricular chamber size and free wall motion are normal. there are three aortic valve leaflets. the non-coronary cusp is flail. since the leaflets fail to coapt, there is severe (4+) aortic regurgitation. the aortic regurgitation jet is eccentric, directed toward the anterior mitral leaflet. the non-coronary cusp is perforated with a prior abcess at the tip. the mitral valve appears structurally normal with trivial mitral regurgitation. no mass or vegetation is seen on the mitral valve. no masses or vegetations are seen on the tricuspid valve, but cannot be fully excluded due to suboptimal image quality. no vegetation/mass is seen on the pulmonic valve. there is no pericardial effusion. mri l spine: 1. no evidence of discitis or osteomyelitis. 2. multilevel degenerative joint disease, most prominent at the level of l4-s1. at these levels, there is mild-to-moderate neural foraminal narrowing bilaterally at the l4-l5 and mild-to-moderate right neural foraminal narrowing at the l5-s1 levels. there is associated mild spinal canal stenosis at the l4-l5 level. upper extremity us: 1. no evidence of deep vein thrombosis in

service with acute on chronic renal failure. on admission, he displayed mild congestive heart failure and possible septic polyarthritis. he was started on a course of nitrofurantoin for a urinary tract infection. preoperatively, he had already completed 8 weeks of antibiotics for aortic valve abscess, but continued with persistent 4+ aortic insufficiency. given his multiple medical issues, the renal, infectious disease and orthopaedic services were consulted prior to cardiac surgical intervention. he underwent extensive evaluation which included renal ultrasound, echocardiograms, spinal mri and multiple joint x-rays - please see result section for details. his acute renal insufficiency was attributed to pre-renal etiology. intake/output were monitored daily and he was hydrated accordingly. joint aspiration of the left hip found no evidence of infection. pan cultures were negative and he remained afebrile. once his creatinine improved, cardiac catheterization was performed which found no flow limiting coronary artery disease. preoperative course was also notable for superficial thrombophlebitis of right upper extremity and a stage 2 pressure ulcers of his coccyx, right heel and scrotum. prior to cardiac surgery, he was cleared by the dental service. on , dr. performed an aortic valve replacement. given his inpatient stay was greater than 24 hours, vancomycin was given for perioperative antibiotic coverage. for surgical details, please see seperate dictated operative note. following the operation, he was brought to the cvicu for invasive monitoring. within 24 hours, he awoke neurologically intact and was extubated without incident. given poor nutritional status, a dobhoff feeding tube was placed to ensure adequate caloric intake. double lumen picc line was also placed for poor intravenous access on . amiodarone was initiated for frequent premature atrial contractions. he otherwise remained in a normal sinus rhythm, maintained stable hemodynamics and transferred to the sdu on postoperative day two. vancomycin was continued until operative valve cultures remained negative. on pod4 he was transferred to rehabilitation at center medications on

received 1500 cc of fluid during the case and had an ebl of 200 cc. at postoperative check, the patient was doing well, complaining of some increasing phlegm production, but neuro intact and stable. she was breathing 15 times a minute with an o2 sat of 100% on 3l nc. she was requiring a nitro gtt and intermittent hydralazine to keep her blood pressures in the desired range of 100-140. overnight she had some tachypnea and scattered wheezes, which improved after a nebulizer treatment and she maintained her sats on low nasal cannula. her neck incision did slowly ooze blood, requiring a few dressing changes but there was no airway compression or rapidly expanding hematoma. on , pod #1, the patient continued to have some increased work of breathing,decreased urine output, cxr showed some fluid overload and she was given lasix 80mg iv and put out about 100 cc of urine hourly throughout the day. she maintained her sats in the mid 90's throughout the day on 2-3l nc. at 9pm, her work of breathing continued to increase with rr 30-35, sats mid 90's, an additional 40mg of lasix was given, without much improvement in her respiratory status. a nonrebreather was placed and the patient continued to breath 30-42 times a minute satting 90-98%. her neck incision continued to appear intact, with no pulsatile mass or firmness. the patient was transferred to the icu and intubated for flash pulmonary edema. bnp was increased to 13,000, she also had a troponin leak to peak of .72. atrius cardiology followed the patient during her stay and felt that she was having demand ischemia secondary to the fluid overload and diastolic heart failure and did not feel she was having an mi. she had ongoing labile blood pressures requiring treatment. her creatinine trended up to the 2.6-3.0 range with adequate urine output and nephrology was consulted. they felt as if she had acute kidney injury in the setting of hemodynamic instability and acute tubular necrosis. they followed her care and her creatinine trended down but has not yet reached her baseline. on , pod#3, she had a low grade fever and her cxr showed concern for possible rll infiltrate and she was started on vancomycin/cefepime to empirically treat for vap. she was extubated and required reintubation after 2 hours for tachypnea, hypertension, respiratory distress. on , pod#4 it was decided to start a three day course of methylprednisolone for upper airway edema secondary to multiple attempts at intubation/extubation. she rested on the ventilator over the weekend during this steroid course and we continued diuresis, monitoring her creatinine. she did develop a metabolic alkalosis and hypokalemia which were treated. her blood pressure throughout her hospital stay was difficult to control and she required standing metoprolol, hydralazine, addition of po agents, and intermittent iv hydralazine/metoprolol at times. the patient completed her steroid course and was extubated on , and there was a question of heme-tinged output from her ogt, protonix was added. lavage was negative, egd was not required. she remained in the icu on and . diamox was used for ongoing diuresis, bicarb and creatinine were monitored with a goal of .5 l negative daily. after extubation she was slow to improve her mental status with an elevated bun/cr, and a head ct was performed which was grossly negative for an acute process. as her lab values normalized, and with her family at bedside, her mental status did improve gradually. the patient was transferred out of the icu on . she was given one day of trophic tf through a dophoff tube and then passed a bedside swallow test on . the dophoff was discontinued and her diet was advanced. her labs continued to trend down, she tolerated a regular diet, and her blood pressures were better controlled on her new regimen. her mental status improved significantly and she is now interactive and appropriate. she had some loose stools over the weekend and a c.diff was sent which was negative. she was out of bed and did well with pt who recommended discharge to home. we felt as if she would benefit from home pt as she strengthens. her discharge plan involves bp monitoring on a new regimen, and close follow up to alter that regimen as necessary. additionally, she will finish her 2 week course of iv antibiotics for ventilator acquired pneumonia. she will also benefit from some home physical therapy. she will follow up with dr. in 1 week and her primary physician . for hospital follow up/bp control. she should also follow up with her

qrs duration of 84. st-t wave changes in leads ii, iii, avf and v3-v5. compared to the previous tracing of no diagnostic interval change. cxr: findings: pa and lateral views of the chest are obtained. there has been interval removal of the picc line and left ij central venous catheter. comparison is also made with a ct chest from . extensive centrilobular and paraseptal emphysema is better assessed on prior ct, though accounts for the lucency in the upper lungs, primarily in the left paramediastinal region. the heart is enlarged. the coarsened interstitial markings are compatible with known underlying copd/emphysema. there is likely a stable small right pleural effusion. there is no definite sign of new consolidation. mediastinal contour is stable. the osseous structures are intact. impression: 1. chronic interstitial lung disease secondary to emphysema with prominent paraseptal emphysema accounting for left upper lobe lucency. 2. cardiomegaly. ecg: atrial fibrillation at a rate of 112. compared to tracing #1 no diagnostic interval change. ecg: marked baseline artifact. the rhythm is probably atrial fibrillation. poor r wave progression in leads v1-v3. st-t wave changes in leads ii, iii, avf and leads v2-v4. compared to the previous tracing of these changes are similar to those seen at that time. probably no diagnostic interval change. cxr: single portable chest radiograph: there is unchanged severe cardiomegaly. the mediastinal and hilar contours are stable. there has been significant interval improvement of interstitial pulmonary vascular congestion as demonstrated on radiograph one day prior. biapical cystic changes more prominent on the left due to emphysema are better demonstrated on prior ct. there is no focal consolidation to suggest acute pneumonia. there is no large effusion or pneumothorax. impression: 1. marked interval improvement of interstitial pulmonary vascular congestion since one day prior. 2. no focal consolidation to suggest pneumonia. tte: the left atrium is mildly dilated. the right atrium is markedly dilated. there is mild symmetric left ventricular hypertrophy. the left ventricular cavity size is normal. overall left ventricular systolic function is mildly depressed with septal hypokinesis (lvef= 45-50 %). the right ventricular cavity is mildly dilated with severe global free wall hypokinesis. there is abnormal septal motion/position consistent with right ventricular pressure/volume overload. the aortic valve leaflets (3) are mildly thickened. small (~0.5 cm) echodense structure(s) seen on the aortic side of the aortic valve similar to lambl's excrescence although somewhat thickened appearance raises suspicion of possible vegetation. there is no aortic valve stenosis. no aortic regurgitation is seen. the mitral valve leaflets are moderately thickened. there is moderate/severe mitral valve prolapse. an eccentric, laterally directed jet of moderate to severe (3+) mitral regurgitation is seen. the tricuspid valve leaflets are mildly thickened. there is mild pulmonary artery systolic hypertension. there is a very small pericardial effusion. compared with the prior study (images reviewed) of , findings are similar. small echodense structure seen on aortic valve in the prior study slightly more prominent in the current study but could be due to differences in image quality. suggest transesophageal echocardiography to assess, if clinically indicated. cxr: emphysema is severe, mild pulmonary edema improved since . tiny left pleural effusion may be present. heart size normal. leftward mediastinal shift longstanding and does not indicate left lower lobe collapse. cxr: there is mild progression of consolidation seen in the left lower lobe. known extensive bilateral emphysema. increased diameter of the right pulmonary hilus is noted; however, when reviewing previous ct from , it is seen that this is not caused by pathologic mass. bilateral small pleural effusions, left slightly greater than right. the heart is normal sized. tee: no evidence of endocarditis. stretched pfo with resting left-right shunt. moderate, eccentric mitral regurgitation. complex but non-mobile descending aortic atheroma. ct abd/pelvis: 1. 0.6 x 1.0 cm right lower lobe nodular pulmonary density, which could represent scarring adjacent to the emphysematous bullae, but enlarging pulmonary nodule, potentially suspicious for malignancy, cannot be excluded. short interval followup is recommended with dedicated chest ct in three months. 2. 2.7 cm oval hypodense lesion in the left lateral abdominal wall, intramuscular in location, may represent a small abscess or less likely a hypoenhancing mass. this could be further evaluated with ultrasound. 3. diverticulosis without evidence of diverticulitis. this examination is not sensitive for the detection of colonic masses. no evidence of bowel obstruction. 4. emphysema, atelectasis, pleural effusions, and right atrial enlargement. 5. air within the urinary bladder. please correlate with any history of recent foley catheterization. 6. abdominal aortic aneurysm measuring up to 3.4 cm and right common iliac artery aneurysm. abd u/s: 3-cm left flank intramuscular fluid collection, which is amenable to ultrasound-guided aspiration. cta: 1. infrarenal aaa. no evidence of aortoenteric fistula. 2. right common iliac artery fusiform aneurysm. 3. narrowing and angulation of the celiac artery at region of median arcuate ligament may be due to respiratory phase of imaging. if median arcuate ligament syndrome is a clinical concern, mra would be performed with inspiratory and expiratory phase imaging. 4. severe emphysema. 5. right lower lobe nodule which requires follow-up, as previously advised. cxr: in comparison with study of , there is little overall change. extensive opacification is again seen at the left base silhouetting the hemidiaphragm and some shift of the mediastinum to that side. this is consistent with substantial volume loss in the left lower lobe. the costophrenic angle has been excluded from the image. viewed small right pleural effusion with continued engorgement of pulmonary vessel is consistent with elevated pulmonary venous pressure. colonoscopy: mucosa: area of erythema in the proximal ascending colon. be trauma from scope vs. underlying angioectasias. cold forceps biopsies were performed for histology at the proximal ascending colon. other no bleeding found. no mass lesions seen. impression: abnormal mucosa in the colon (biopsy) no bleeding found. no mass lesions seen. brief hospital course: 68 year old man with past medical history significant for copd, congestive heart failure, recent pulmonary embolism, and pneumonia admitted with respiratory distress, bacteremia. . # bacteremia/sepsis: blood cultures drawn on admission grew enterococcus faecalis. he was started on broad spectrum antibiotics including linezolid given concern for potential vre as he had recently been on vancomycin for treatment of pneumonia. sensitivities later revealed pan-sensitive enterococcus, and linezolid was changed to ampicillin. he did have an episode of tachycardia and hypotension on the floor, which responded to intravenous fluids. the infectious disease service was consulted. a trans-thoracic echo was performed to evaluate for possible vegetation, which showed an echodense structure on the aortic valve. to further evaluate, an transesophageal echo was obtained, which showed no endocarditis. subsequent cultures were negative, although the patient's vre rectal swab was positive. . # copd/respiratory distress: on , the patient was transferred to the icu for tachypnea and a worsening oxygen requirement in the setting of iv fluid administration for hypotension. it is likely that, in this patient with heart failure and advanced copd on 2l home o2, he has limited pulmonary reserve so that even mild pulmonary edema result in significant distress. he was given iv lasix boluses and nebulizer treatments with significant improvement in his respiratory status. there was no evidence of pulmonary infection on imaging and urine legionella was negative. he was transferred back to the medicine floor on . he was continued on outpatient tiotropium and inhaled steroids. . # lower gi bleed: on , the patient passed bloody bowel movements. his hematocrit dropped to 22. he was transferred back to the micu. he underwent egd, which was normal. he required transfusion of four units of packed rbcs. he underwent ct angiogram of his abdomen, which was negative for aortoenteric fistula. the patient subsequently underwent colonoscopy which was unrevealing for acute bleed, but erythematous mucosa was biopsied to evaluate for arteriovenous malformation. his aspirin and warfarin had been held, but were restarted on his day of transfer to rehab, as his hematocrit had been stable with no further bleeds for about a week. . # uti. urine culture with sensitive klebsiella. he completed a seven day course of ciprofloxacin. . # hyponatremia: variably attributed to siadh and hyervolemic hyponatremia. the patient was placed on conservative fluid restrictions. renal was consulted and the patient was also diuresed with iv and po furosemide. sodium levels subsequently normalized. . # atrial fibrillation: he was in atrial fibrillation with variable rate control. he was continued on rate control with lopressor and diltiazem. he was anticoagulated with warfarin for thromboembolic prophylaxis with a goal inr of . following his lower gi bleed, his systemic anticoagulation was held. he and the rehabilitation center were instructed to restart his warfarin (and aspirin) on the day of transfer. . #. weakness/tremor: believed to be related to recent addition of citalopram. the patient also takes trazodone, but did not display any other signs of serotonin syndrome such as nausea/vomitting/diarrhea. his tremor persisted to varying degrees . #. pulmonary hypertension/pe: no formal workup in setting of subacute pulmonary embolus. will need outpatient follow up. pe likely contributing to right ventricular volume overload and pulmonary hypertension as above. patient tolerated systemic anticoagulation until he experienced his gi bleed (see above). warfarin was subsequently held as noted above. . #. cll: the patient's wbc count trended down from its baseline level (20-30k) when the patient developed bacteremia (see above). as his bacteremia was treated, his wbc count rose to a level consistent with his baseline level. medications on admission: medications at time of transfer -vanco 1 gram q12 -zosyn 4.5 iv q8 -metoprolol 100 po tid -atrovent -ambien -tylenol -senna -docusate -mvi

3. new 7-mm right lower lobe pulmonary nodule. four month followup chest ct recommended. 4. cardiomegaly with enlarged right atrium and dilated ivc and hepatic veins, which can be seen in right-sided heart failure. brief hospital course: #. respiratory distress: the patient was admitted and transferred to the medicine floor. upon arrival he developed respiratory distress in the setting of atrial fibrillation with rvr and ivf administration in the ed, likely causing fluid overload in a patient with tenuous respiratory status at baseline, h/o copd and on home o2, with recent pe. the patient had an echo, which showed an ef of 35%. he was diuresed with iv lasix and showed improvement, o2 requirement decreased from 6lnc to 4lnc. rate control was obtained with digoxin (pt was loaded), diltiazem, and metoprolol. diltiazem was subsequently stopped. chest x ray showed bibasilar opacities and air-space opacities consistent with atelectasis vs pneumonia. he had a sputum which only showed mixed respiratory flora. lenis were obtained and were negative for dvt. the patient was subtherapeutic on his coumadin so a heparin bridge was briefly initiated until he became therapeutic. cardiac enzymes were also obtained and were negative x3 sets. once the patient stabilized he was transferred back to the medicine floor where he continued to require 2 to 4 l of oxygen. as he was not on oxygen prior to , it was thought that he was in acute heart failure with poor baseline reserve from his copd, so he was aggressively diuresed with lasix. he remained 2 l negative per day for 5 days with only mild improvement in his oxygen requirement (low 80s on ra - 94% 4l). chest ct was obtained and showed bilateral pleural effusions, stable severe emphasema, cardiomegally, and a new 7 mm right lower lobe pulmonary nodule. it was thought that his continued hypoxia was from acute chf with a component of recent pulmonary events. he was discharged on lasix 40 mg po daily, spironolactone 12.5 mg daily and home o2. #. enterococcus bacteremia: the patient presented from rehab with fevers. he had a positive blood culture at the rehab center and had his picc line removed (per report the tip was cultured and showed no growth). his first set of blood cultures obtained at was positive for enterococcus, pan-sensitive. because he had a recent positive vre swab, he was empirically treated with linezolid, but this was then changed to ampicillin after cultures showed it was sensitive. surveillance cultures remained negative until when they showed one culture positive for gram positive cocci. a transthoracic and trans esophageal echocardiogram were performed and showed no vegetations. the source of the patient's recurrent enterococcus bacteremia was further investigated, and gi was consulted to determine if he was seeding his blood from a source in the gut. because he had recently had a colonoscopy that was negative for a source (colon cancer), an mr enterography was performed to investigate the small bowel. this study was also unrevealing for a source of his bacteremia. the patient will need to continue ampicillin for a total of four week course to end on he will follow up with id on . his picc line was not centrally located at discharge but after discussion with pharmacy and nursing it was concluded it could be still be used as a midline for ampicillin administration. #. atrial fibrillation: the patient presented with atrial fibrillation with rapid ventricular rate. in the icu he was loaded with digoxin and started on diltiazem in addition to his metoprolol. he was rate controlled on this regimen with rates in the 80s-90s. eventually the diltiazem was discontinued and he remained well controlled. coumadin was continued and he was found to have a subtheraputic inr during which time he was bridged with heparin. his inr later became therapeutic and heparin was stopped. he should continue on the metoprolol, digoxin, and coumadin. #. hypertension: the patient was started on dogoxin, and diltiazem in addition to his home dose metoprolol as above for rate control. his blood pressure remained in the sbp 100s-120s on this regimen. he was also started on lasix for his chf. his diltiazem was discontinued and he was aggressively diuresed as his blood pressure could tolerate. he was not started on an ace inhibitor depite his low ejection fraction because he was heavily diuresed with lasix and his sbp remained 90's-110's after he was re-started on his po lasix dose. he should continue to take 40 mg po of lasix daily. he should discuss with his pcp the need to start an ace inhibitor due to his low ejection fraction. #. acute systolic chf: the patient had an echo with ef 35%, similar to prior a study on . it was thought that in the setting of sepsis and iv fluid administration as well as a fib with rvr, the patient had decompensation of his chf. he diuresed well to lasix 20mg iv, and was negative 1 to 2 liters a day during the course of his admission. his respiratory status improved, however he still required supplemental oxygen at discharge. he will need to continue his lasix and metoprolol. he was started on spironolactone 12.5 mg daily for mortality benefit and on simvastatin 20 mg daily. as above, he should eventually start an ace inhibitor if his blood pressure can tolerate it. he was given an appointment with dr. from cardiology for outpatient follow up. # urinary retention: the patient had a foley placed in the icu when he was being resuscitated. after the foley was removed he failed his voiding trial. he was started on finasteride and tamsulosin and his urinary retention improved. he will need to follow up with urology. he has an appointment on . # cll: the patient has known cll. his wbc count was elevated between 13 and 19, which was lower than baseline. there was no evidence of transformation. he can continue his regular follow up with oncology as an outpatient . # pulmonary nodule: seen on ct scan of the chest. the patient should have a follow up ct scan in four months. medications on admission: 5% lidocaine patch to r ribs 6a-6p daily aspirin 81 mg daily oxycodone 5 mg po q6h prn pain

===================================== imaging: cta chest () - impression: 1. pulmonary embolism involving the basal segments of the left lower lobe. partially occlusive thrombus in the pulmonary arterial branches supplying the basal segments of the right lower lobe, possibly chronic given their eccentric appearance. 2. severe bullous emphysema with nodule in the right lung apex for which short interval followup is advised. 3. bilateral hilar lymphadenopathy may be related to patient's known cll. 4. cardiomegaly. 5. left adrenal nodularity, incompletely imaged though grossly stable from 08 exam. recommend ct or mri to further evaluate as needed. cta chest () - impression: 1. interval resolution of left basilar pulmonary emboli and interval improvement in eccentric clot at the right base. no new pulmonary emboli. 2. new bilateral pleural effusions, moderate on the right and trace on the left. small pericardial effusion, increased from the prior exam and small perihepatic ascites, also slightly increased from the prior exam. 3. severe emphysema with right apical nodule. again short-term followup is recommended as this has progressed from the study. ct head () - impression: no parenchymal edema. mri is more sensitive for detection of intracranial mass lesions. cxr ( - findings: as compared to the previous radiograph, the lung volumes have slightly decreased. newly appeared retrocardiac opacity with blunting of the costophrenic sinus. the changes are consequent of the left lower lobe pulmonary embolism documented on a ct from . the left upper lobe bulla is unchanged in extent. unchanged radiographic manifestations of extensive pulmonary emphysema. cxr () - findings: cardiomediastinal contours are unchanged. emphysema is again demonstrated with superimposed areas of opacity at both lung bases which was slightly improved compared to the recent study. small pleural effusion on the left also appears slightly better, and a small right effusion is unchanged. within the periphery of the left upper lobe, there is an apparently new focal area of opacity, possibly due to superimposition of structures at the level of the third anterior rib, but attention to this area on followup films is suggested to exclude a developing pneumonia. cxr () - findings: new endotracheal tube terminates 6.5 cm above the carina. otherwise, no relevant changes since recent study of less than one hour earlier. cxr pa and lat () - impression: slightly increased effusions. continued volume overload. brief hospital course: 68m with a past medical history of cll, copd, htn presents with dyspnea over the last 4 months and found to have bilateral pe. # pulmonary embolism: likely acute on chronic pe in the setting of cll. tte with signs of mild right heart strain. hemodynamically stable so not considered candidate for tpa or thrombectomy. started on heparin drip and bridged to coumadin. coumadin held briefly for supratherapeutic levels but then restarted. after transfer back to the icu and intubation (see below), pt did have significantly elevated inr, requiring vitamin k. inr responded appropriately. however, on the day of discharge, the patient was noted to have a drop in his inr such that it was no longer therapeutic. he was discharged on a lovenox bridge while his coumadin dose was adjusted to get him to his goal inr range of . at time of discharge, pt was breathing comfortably but still had an oxygen requirement of 2l. # respiratory distress: pt was initially called out to the medicine service on . however, on the following morning, he was noted to have worsening respiratory distress and was transferred back to the icu service. he ultimately required intubation for 2 days. it was felt that his respiratory distress was related to a combination of copd exacerbation as well as pneumonia. he was maintained on prednisone and nebs for his copd. he was started vancomycin/cefepime for his suspected pneumonia. he is being discharged on a prednisone taper. he is also being discharged to compete a 14-day course of vancomycin/cefepime. # copd exacerbation: patient became increasingly wheezy on exam during the first 1-2 days of this hospitalization and was started on treatment for a copd exacerbation. treated with azithromycin, a 3-day course of solumedrol followed by a prednisone taper, fluticasone, xopinex and ipratropium nebulizers. a humalog iss and ppi were started while he was on steroids. as above, he had worsening respiratory distress after his inital call-out to the floor, requiring transfer back to the icu and intubation x 2 days. it was felt that copd exacerbation was a likely component of his respiratory distress, so he was kept on his oral steroids. he was placed on a prednisone taper at discharge. # pneumonia: at the time of patient's decompensation and intubation (see above), it was felt that there could be a component of pneumonia contributing. cxr showed ?retrocardiac opacity. he was started on vanc/cefepime. being discharge to complete a 14-day course of vanc/cefepime. # radiologic findings: cta performed on admission showed a right apical nodular focus and recommended short interval followup. cta also showed left adrenal nodularity with ct or mri follow-up recommended. these findings should be followed up by the patient's pcp. # chf: tte with ef 40% and right heart strain. patient endorses symptoms of orthopnea, but may be related to acute pe. bnp elevated but no prior levels for comparison. minimal edema on exam and no elevation however cxr appearing more fluid overloaded than prior. responded well to 10mg iv lasix. restarted chlorthalidone and restarted beta-blocker, which was uptitrated for rate control (see below). patient was continued on chlorthalidone. respiratory status stable at the time of discharge, with patient still requiring 2l o2. # atrial fibrilation: patient had intermittent irregular tachycardias that on repeat ekgs were felt to be most likely atrial fibrillation (although at some points felt to be multifocal atrial tachycardia). initially started on diltiazem without significant improvement. had 12 beat run of v-tach on after which he was transitioned back to a beta-blocker. his home atenolol (prescribed for htn) was changed to metoprolol for the purpose of titrating. this was up-titrated for better rate control. diltiazem was also added back prior to d/c for better rate control. he was also placed on coumadin/lovenox as above for anticoagulation. # acute renal failure: originally presented with cr 1.3 vs baseline 1.0 likely pre-renal poor po intake, resumed to baseline with fluids. elevated again briefly in setting of lasix then again resolved. # troponin leak: mild troponin leak to 0.02 on admission likely due to right heart strain from underlying pe. ekg had some twis but no baseline ekg to compare. enzymes remained flat. # chest pain: brief episode, several days after admission, complained of some chest discomfort while eating, resolved within minutes. substernal, nonradiating. ekg showed some lateral t wave flattening felt most likely lead placement. cardiac enzymes flat. no further episodes of chest pain. # leukocytosis: cll with baseline wbc 25-30. when he decompensated and was intubated, he did have some fevers and more elevated wbc. thought to be possible pna. still had some leukocytosis above baseline later in his hospital course but was afebrile. leukocytosis had stabilized by the time of discharge. difficult to interpret this in the setting of his cll. pt will f/u with his outpatient hematologist. # hypertension: well-controlled, home atenolol changed to metoprolol as above. diltiazem also added as above. medications on admission: # albuterol sulfate - 90 mcg hfa

bronchoscope. 2. flexible bronchoscopy. 3. balloon dilation of the basilar segments of the left lower lobe. 4. placement of left pleural pigtail catheter. 5. placement of right pleural pigtail catheter. 6. placement of tunneled hd catheter. history of present illness: 69m with a history of chf/ischemic cardiomyopathy ef 10% 6/09, esrd on hd, who presented to osh with sob on . of note the patient was recently admitted from with lue/lle edema and dvt was ruled out however they noted that he had a l sided pleural effusion and ? infiltrates so he was started on vanc and ceftaz for hospital acquired pna. he was d/c'ed on 5l of oxygen and when the vna visited him he was still sob on 4l of oxygen with cough and clear sputum production so he was taken to the ed and re-admitted. at the osh, a ct chest showed increase in the l pleural effusion, collapse of the l lung with obstruction of the l main stem bronchus, questionable endobronchial lesion vs mucous plug. he also had a r pleural effusion, ascites, anasarca and a l ventricular aneurysm. he was hemodialized 2.5l and a thoracentesis was performed removing 1l of pleural fluid which was negative for microorganisms. a bronchoscopy was performed showing a l main stem mucous plug, abnormal endobronchial mucosa with external compression that was so severe they were unable to safely advance the bronchoscope. they believed it was secondary to the lv aneurysm compressing the lmsb. a bal was performed showing oropharyngial flora and biopsies of the abnormal mucosa were sent to pathology. lue doppler was again repeated due to persistent lue edema which was negative. vq scan was low probability for pe. the patient was transfered to for stent placement. . on , he had rigid bronchoscopy with ip. following the procedure he became hypotensive and was started on levo and epi gtt. on bronchoscopy there was no endobronchial lesion seen however he did have extrinsic compression of lll segments. balloon dilation was performed, and left chest tube placed which drained ~2.5l. post procedure he remained intubated and on pressors and was admitted to the tsicu, where a right chest tube was placed while drained 1.5l. his icu course has been complicated by inability to wean pressor support. . he was started on vancomycin and zosyn given development of fevers with plan for 8 day course per ip. he was extubated on and has been on nc since then. he continues to put out approximately 1 l of pleural fluid from the left pigtail catheter. on the morning prior to transfer to the ccu he pulled out his aline and the tsicu team was unable to replace despite multiple attempts. his blood pressure cuff and aline were correlating. he has continued on max dose epinephrine since ip procedure and has required levophed intermittently during cvvh. . on arrival to the ccu, he appears comfortable and denies pain. he continues to have dyspnea but endorses improvement since stenting by ip. past medical history: 1.

correlation with bronchoscopy is recommended. severe cardiomegaly with left ventricular enlargement and left ventricular calcification also contribute to the atelectasis of the lung. 2. bilateral pleural effusions, large. 3. extensive coronary calcifications. 4. evidence of prior granulomatous exposure. splenic hypodense wedge-shaped area that might represent infarcts. 5. anasarca. ascites. asymmetric thickening of the left breast tissue that might represent hematoma versus extensive edema due to patient positioning. cxr : findings: as compared to the previous radiograph, one chest tube has been inserted into each pleural space. both tubes show normal position. the right pleural space has completely cleared, in the left pleural space moderate remnant pleural effusion is seen. otherwise, the radiograph is unchanged. unchanged monitoring and support devices. unchanged cardiomegaly. no newly occurred focal parenchymal opacity suggesting pneumonia. no evidence of pneumothorax. . echo : the left atrium is moderately dilated. left ventricular wall thicknesses are normal. the left ventricular cavity is severely dilated. there is severe global left ventricular hypokinesis (lvef = 10%). a large (2.6 x 2.1) echogenicity is seen in the left ventricle, adjacent to the lateral wall, consistent with thrombus. there is probable additional mural thrombosis closer to the apex. the right ventricular cavity is moderately dilated with moderate global free wall hypokinesis. the ascending aorta is mildly dilated. the aortic valve leaflets (3) appear structurally normal with good leaflet excursion and no aortic stenosis. midsystolic closure of the aortic leaflets is seen. trace aortic regurgitation is seen. the mitral valve leaflets are mildly thickened. there is no mitral valve prolapse. moderate (2+) mitral regurgitation is seen. the tricuspid valve leaflets are mildly thickened. moderate tricuspid regurgitation is seen. there is moderate pulmonary artery systolic hypertension. there is no pericardial effusion. impression: massively dilated left ventricle with severe global systolic dysfunction and low cardiac output. dilated and hypokinetic right ventricle. probable left ventricular thrombus. moderate mitral and tricuspid regurgitation. moderate pulmonary hypertension. . cxr : the position of the multiple chest tubes and lines is essentially unchanged since the prior chest x-ray. the right lung is clear. there is some atelectasis in the lower lobe present. pneumothorax is still present on the left side, essentially unchanged since the prior chest x-ray. there is no right pneumothorax. impression: no significant change. no right pneumothorax. brief hospital course: mr. is a 69 yo m with severe ischemic cardiomyopathy (ef 5-10%), l mainstem bronchus compression lv enlargement s/p bronchoscopy, esrd on hd, course c/b post bronch hypotension and inability to wean pressor support. he expired at 12:50am. . hospital course: acute on chronic ischemic systolic heart failure with ef 5-10%, exacerbation likely combination of volume overload (up 30kg from dry weight) and positive pressure ventillation for rigid bronchoscopy. the patient already had a biventricular pacer for lv dysynchrony. cvvh was instituted for volume removal in the setting of the patient being 30kg over his dry weight. it was thought that this would improve his cardiac function by getting him back on the starling curve. the goal was for a 2-4kg diuresis daily. in order to achieve this the patient was kept on pressors to maintain a systolic blood pressure above 70. in order to achieve this he was titrated on levophed, epineprine, phenylephrine, midodrine, and vasopressin. his home beta blocker and ace inhibitor were held, but his home digoxin was continued. he required increased amount of pressors to maintain his blood pressure. the patient was mentating clearly until his systolic blood pressures fell below 50. he was full code through most of his hospitalization; however, a family meeting towards the end of his hospital course changed his code status to dnr/dni with no escalation of care. his blood pressure continued to fall despite maximal pressor therapy with all the medications listed above. he developed respiratory distress around midnight on requiring a non-rebreather. he expired in the presence of his family on at 12:50am.

symptoms of preliminary reportdysphagia bedside swallow : based on results of pt's recent barium swallow with impaired esophageal motility and hiatal hernia impacting speed of passage of po and pt's correlated symptom of sensation that food will not go down is likely globus sensation from her esophageal deficits. pt was educated on strategies such as keeping foods moist, alternating bites and sips, eating slowly and smaller meals in attempt to alleviate discomfort. brief hospital course: ms. was admitted to the hospital and taken to the operating room where she underwent a redo right thoracotomy, removal of portion of posterior splinting mesh and tracheoplasty with mesh and flexible bronchoscopy with bronchoalveolar lavage. she tolerated the procedure well and was extubated in the or. she returned to the sicu in stable condition with an epidural catheter for pain control. the pain service followed her closely and made adjustments in her epidural infusion to improve her pain control so as to make pulmonary toilet more effective. she maintained stable hemodynamics but did have a hematocrit drop from 33 intraop to 25 early post op. serial hematocrits were followed along with chest xrays and there was no evidence of active bleeding. following removal of her chest tube, her epidural catheter was also removed and she had adequate pain relief with oxycodone, tylenol, ibuprofen and tramadol. she was able to use her incentive spirometer effectively and cough and deep breath comfortably. she used a cpap mask at night and had ra saturations of 95% during the day. she was tolerating a regular diet in moderation but her liquid intake was poor which ultimately reflected in a creatinine bump from 0.6 to 1.2 within 24 hours. she was then rehydrated with 2 liters of fluid and her creatinine decreased to 0.9 but her hematocrit was also 22.8. she remained hemodynamically stable with a blood pressure of 110/70 . she complained of dysphagia to soft foods and some liquids and subsequently underwent a barium swallow which showed a large hiatal hernia but no other pathology. the speech and swallow therapist evaluated her at the bedside and found no mechanical problem or evidence of aspiration. she was given some hints on how to keep food moist to allow for easier passage. her pain medication was adjusted as she had inadequate pain control with oxycodone 5 mg q 4 hours along with tramadol, ibuprofen and tylenol. she was better controlled with 10 mg every 4 hours although not pain free. she did have a large ecchymotic area around her chest tube site which extended to the right hip and upper thigh but the areas were soft. her ibuprofen was reduced to 400 mg tid and she may ultimately stop it. she will use local heat or cool packs for comfort. her hematocrit remained stable at 25. she was discharged to home on and will follow up in the thoracic clinic in 2 weeks. medications on admission: preadmission medications listed are correct and

history of present illness: the patient is a 52 year old female with a history of right upper lobe bronchiectasis. she had a distant history at the age of 25 of aspirating some vinegar which subsequently required hospitalization for treatment of chemical pneumonitis. since then the patient has had progressive respiratory problems. initially it started with an active cough and eventually resulted in chronic bronchitis and recurring infections. these episodes of recurring bronchitis started approximately ten years ago and required intermittent antibiotics in the past three years. she has been on a constant stream of rotating antibiotics for three weeks and off for one week. the patient reports that during the week that she was off of antibiotics she began to feel sick, sleepy and developed a fever which promptly went away when she reinitiated antibiotic therapy. the patient usually develops fever with persistent cough building to episodes of bronchitis. she has never been admitted to the hospital for pneumonia but was admitted two years ago with shortness of breath versus pulmonary function course. the patient denies any chest pain, dyspnea on exertion or hemoptysis. the patient has been treated with prednisone in the past but reports that it did not help her and she wants to avoid it for fear of what might happen to her with chronic steroid use. the patient uses inhalers occasionally but reports that they are of minimal utility. past medical history: 1. fibromyalgia. 2. hepatitis c positivity with normal liver function tests. 3. right upper lobe bronchiectasis. 4. chronic bronchitis. 5. history of chemical pneumonitis. past surgical history: unremarkable. medications on admission: 1. zithromax. 2. levaquin. 3. singulair. 4. fosamax. 5.

significant for a father who died at the age of 49 of an myocardial infarction and mother who died at the age of 73 from chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. physical examination: on physical examination the patient is afebrile, vital signs are stable in no apparent distress. head was normocephalic, atraumatic. no scleral icterus noted. neck was soft, supple with no masses noted, no carotid bruits. heart was regular rate and rhythm, no murmurs. chest was clear to auscultation bilaterally. thorax was symmetrical with no masses or scars. the abdomen was soft, nontender, nondistended, positive bowel sounds. extremities showed no clubbing or edema. neurologically, the patient was grossly intact. laboratory data: computerized tomography scan preoperatively demonstrated moderate tracheal collapse and evidence of bronchiectasis throughout the right upper lobe. no evidence of bronchiectasis in the other lobes and there was no endobronchial lesions. hospital course: the patient is a 52 year old female with tracheobronchial malacia who presents to as a same day admission for tracheobronchoplasty. the patient was taken to the operating room on for said procedure by dr. and dr. . for a more detailed account, please see the operative report. postoperatively the patient was transferred to the floor. chest tube was discontinued on postoperative day #1. on postoperative day #2, epidural analgesia was discontinued as the epidural was capped and the patient was started on percocet and ibuprofen. the patient reported very poor pain control without the epidural and later in the day of postoperative day #2, the patient's epidural was restarted with straight local anesthetic with good effect. chest x-ray on postoperative day #2 revealed no pneumothorax. on postoperative day #4, the patient's pain control was much improved with local epidural which was later on in the day discontinued and the patient was again started on percocets and ibuprofen with moderate pain control. in addition, the patient was receiving morphine injections for breakthrough pain. on postoperative day #5, the patient was doing well, epidural was discontinued and the patient was deemed

intravenous fluids, and underwent radiographic imaging. he sustained multiple facial lacerations which were sutured. he was also found to have bilateral rib fractures, as well as cervical and thoracic spine injuries. he was admitted to the trauma sicu for monitoring. because of the extent of his cervical and thoracic injuries, he was evaluated by ortho-spine. he was taken to the operating room on hod #1 where he underwent a t7-l1 laminectomy and fusion. his operative course was notable for a siginficant blood loss of 1 liter. in addition to this, he required packed red blood cells to correct his blood loss. he was transported to the intensive care unit after the surgery still intubated and sedated on propofol. he was evaluated by plastic surgery and was found on imaging to have a left orbital wall fracture. for this injury, he was placed on sinus precautions and no further intervention. the neurology service was consulted regarding resuming his anti-seizure medication. his depakote was re-started per their recommendations. he has not had any seizure activity during his hospitalization. his post-operative course has been stable. he was fitted for a cervical-tlso brace and has used this when out of bed. he is tolerating a regular diet and voiding without difficulty. his vital signs are stable and he is afebrile. he has been evaluated by physical and occupational therapy and recommendations made for discharge to a rehabilition facility. he has been evaulated by psychiatry because of the nature of his injury and his history of poly-substance abuse to ascertain if this injury is self-inflicted. it was thought that this injury did not represent a suicide attempt. he is preparing for discharge with recommended follow-up with dr. , seizure specialist, opthamology, and

lung base is not well seen with the dome of the diaghragm being pushed superiorly. this correlates with the right lower atelactasis on the corresponding ct. impression: no distended loops of bowel seen. brief hospital course: mr. is a 78m with stage iv nslc who presents with fevers from his rehab facility. . * hypotension: patient presented with hypotension concerning for sepsis. he was briefly on levophed and was taken off of pressors when sbp 100s-110s. his hypotension was probably due to hypovolemia from diuresis but severe hypotension in setting of developing sepsis was also considered. lactate down to 1.0 from 1.3 on admission with svo2 73. on the floors, his sbp's ranged in the 130's to 140's and he was restarted on his home doses of lasix was held for the several days prior to discharge because he was autodiuresing. he needs to be re-evaluated regularly for whether lasix needs to be restarted. he will likely need his lasix restarted at some point at rehab. his pressures remained stable throughout hospitalization. . * fever: patient's fever likely caused by c diff as patient is toxin positive, although aspiration pneumonia was also considered a possibility given evidence of dysphagia on prior video swallow. his underlying pulmonary malignancy predisposes him to a post-obstructive pneumonia. however the absence of cough or hypoxia made a pulmonary etiology less compelling. blood and urine cultures are negative. his c difficile colitis was originally treated with po vancomycin and iv flagyl. prior to discharge, as diarrhea began to resolve, he was switched to po flagyl alone, to be continued for a two week course (until ). . * l leg swelling and pain: patient had lower extremity pain edema greater on left than right after receiving fluid resuscitation in the icu. leni showed no evidence of dvt. he was diuresed with lasix until his fluid output was negative. he was autodiuresing on discharge so his lasix was held. his fluid status should be reassessed daily to determine if he needs to be restarted on lasix. * hyponatremia: patient's hyponatremia resolved after intravenous fluids, which supports hypovolemia as cause on admission. review of omr shows na's running ~130. at last discharge, thought to have a component of siadh. * acute renal failure: patient had creatinine elevated to 1.4 and fena was 0.1 on admission. creatinine has improved to 0.7-0.8 (his baseline). his acute renal failure has resolved and was likely pre-renal as it improved with ivf. * anemia: his hematocrit is down from admission but suspect this was secondary to hemoconcentration. his anemia is consistent with baseline. * nsclc: advanced disease, on palliative chemotherapy. social work and palliative care were consulted throughout this hospitalization and discussed goals of care with the family. erlotinib will be restarted on and should be taked every other day. he will follow up with dr. . * atrial fibrillation: his sotalol was restarted now that his hypotension resolved. # nutrition ?????? patient has aspiration risks and is unable to swallow pills easily. he was evaluated by nutrition and kept on a pureed diet with tid ensure. he also had an elevated inr despite not being on anticoagulation which possibly could be due to malnutrition. inr improved after administration of one dose of vitamin k. # oral thrush: patient failed nystatin swish and swallow. he was loaded with 400mg fluconazole and should continue 200mg daily until . #pain control: patient was maintained on methadone and diluadid prn during

doppler. there is mild symmetric left ventricular hypertrophy with normal cavity size and regional/global systolic function (lvef>55%). there is no ventricular septal defect. right ventricular chamber size and free wall motion are normal. the aortic root is mildly dilated at the sinus level. the aortic arch is mildly dilated. the aortic valve leaflets (3) are mildly thickened but aortic stenosis is not present. no aortic regurgitation is seen. the mitral valve leaflets are mildly thickened. there is no mitral valve prolapse. mild (1+) mitral regurgitation is seen. the left ventricular inflow pattern suggests impaired relaxation. the tricuspid valve leaflets are mildly thickened. there is moderate pulmonary artery systolic hypertension. there is no pericardial effusion. ct chest/abd/pelvis : 1. interval development of soft tissue stranding and haziness in the anterior mediastinum concerning for mediastinal hematoma. 2. interval placement of a right chest tube with interval decrease in size of right pneumothorax, now small, and with decreased shift of the mediastinum. subcutaneous emphysema extending along the right lateral and posterior chest, abdomen and pelvis. multiple right-sided rib fractures, with a displaced fracture of the right posterior 8th rib and multiple additional nondisplaced fractures, as above. 3. left upper lobe ground-glass opacity, may represent pulmonary contusion. 4. multiple areas of mesenteric stranding and haziness likely reflect mesenteric contusions with more confluent area inferior to the spleen containing areas of high density, likely reflecting small hemoperitoneum. 5. multiple pelvic fractures including right superior and inferior pubic rami with extension into the right acetabulum and a right iliac fracture. right pelvic hematoma adjacent to the right superior pubic rami fractures, grossly stable in size as compared to the prior study. large lateral right buttock hematoma with extensive overlying contusions/soft tissue induration. mild anterolisthesis of l4 over l5 of indeterminate age, but moderate adjacent degenerative changes suggests this could be chronic. recommend clinical correlation with point tenderness. 6. collapsed distal descending colon/proximal sigmoid colon with suggestion of mild wall thickening, new since prior study, bowel injury cannot be excluded. adjacent mild fat stranding in this area. 7. infrarenal abdominal aortic aneurysm. study not tailored for evaluation for dissection. 8. multiple incidental findings, including cholelithiasis. innumerable splenic calcifications as well as calcified mediastinal/hilar lymph nodes, most likely reflect prior granulomatous disease. head ct : 1. no evidence of fractures or misalignment of the cervical spine. 2. moderate-to-severe degenerative changes along the cervical spine, most severe from c3 through c7, with associated moderate spinal canal stenosis. 3. significant right pneumothorax. ct c spine : . small left acute subdural hematoma overlying the left temporal lobe, without significant mass effect or shift of normally midline structures. 2. large right pneumothorax, with shift of the mediastinum to the left, suggestive of tension. 3. small focus of contusion within the left upper lobe in the lung. 4. patchy areas of stranding throughout the mesentery, suspicious for mesenteric injury. 5. small focus of hemoperitoneum inferior to the tip of the spleen, without definite splenic injury identified, though limited by respiratory motion. 6. mildly displaced fractures involving the right inferior and superior pubic rami, likely extending into the acetabulum. mildly displaced right iliac fracture. 7. mildly displaced right eighth rib fracture. 8. marked atheromatous disease of the abdominal aorta, without definite acute aortic injury. head ct : 1. redistribution of subdural hemorrhage. minimal subarachnoid hemorrhage now detected. no mass effect. 2. minor sinus mucosal changes in the ethmoidal sinus. 3. new surgical staples at the skin overlying the right parietal bone towards the vertex. cxr : no evident pneumothorax. no interval change from prior. brief hospital course: mr. was evaluated by the trauma service in the emergency room then admitted to the trauma icu for further evaluation and management. he was seen by the cardiology service as he had st depression anterior, septal and laterally on his ekg. his troponin and ckmb index was normal so he underwent tte in light of his past history of nstemi'. there was no wall motion abnormalities and his ef was normal. the ekg changes were due to demand ischemia (ie pain, trauma ) in the setting of anemia. due to his rib fractures and uncontrolled pain, he had a paravertebral block placed for pain control which also helped his pain from a right chest tube placement for pneumothorax. subsequently a continuous infusion of ropivacaine was used through the paravertebral catheter which effectively controlled his pain. he was transfused with a total of 4 units of packed rbc's during his hospitalization. his lowest hematocrit was 26 and most recently has stabilized in the 27-30 range. he remained in the icu for close neuro monitoring due to his left subdural hematoma. he was placed on keppra for seizure prophylaxis as well. he had no neurologic deficits and a repeat head ct was unchanged. his aspirin and plavix were then resumed. during his stay in the icu he was evaluated by the orthopedic service for his pelvic fractures and they will be treated in a closed manner therefore his weight bearing status is advance weight bearing as tolerated. on he was transferred to the trauma floor where he continued to make good progress. his chest tube was removed on and a post pull film showed no pneumothorax or effusion. his oxygen was weaned off easily and he was able to participate in limited physical therapy due to his injuries. following removal of his paravertebral catheter his pain was controlled with oxycodone effectively. he continued to work with physical therapy and was able to stand and pivot from bed to chair with 1 assist. his appetite was gradually improving and he was having normal bowel movements. hopefully after a stint in rehab he will be able to go home with increased independence. medications on admission: zocor (unknown dose) metoprolol 50 mg po bid plavix 75 mg daily asa 81 mg po daily

surrounding edema, and strikingly slow diffusion in portions of the periphery. although a malignant neoplasm must be considered, the properties of the margin, including the diffusion characteristics, raise the possibility of an inflammatory or demyelinating process as discussed above. ct abd, pelvis : impression: 1. large left retroperitoneal soft tissue mass as well as large retroperitoneal lymphadenopathy. primary diagnostic considerations include paraganglioma, extra-adrenal pheochromocytoma and metastatic disease. 2: cholelithiasis. ct chest: : airways are patent to the subsegmental levels bilaterally. lung volumes are low bilaterally. bibasilar dependent atelectasis is visualized. no focal pulmonary nodule or mass is visualized. there is no axillary or mediastinal lymphadenopathy. atherosclerotic calcification is visualized of the coronary arteries as well as of the aorta. the heart and great vessels are otherwise unremarkable. note is made of a large amount of mediastinal fat. a large right pretracheal node measures 13x12 mm (3:14). a large right epicardiac node measures 13x9 mm brain mass pathology: 1. "left occipital lobe tumor #1" (a - b): demyelinated white matter with extensive macrophage and perivascular lymphocytic infiltrates (see note). 2. "left occipital lobe tumor #2" (c - d): demyelinated white matter with extensive macrophage and perivascular lymphocytic infiltrates (see note). 3. "left deep occipital tumor" (e - f): demyelinated white matter with extensive macrophage and perivascular lymphocytic infiltrates (see note). 4. "left occipital lobe tumor" (g): leptomeninges and gliotic white matter. note: by immunohistochemistry (blocks a-d), the majority of the lymphocytes are cd-3 and cd-8 positive cytotoxic cells. a smaller subset stains positive for cd4. only rare scattered b-lymphocytes are present, marking with cd20. cd68 highlights the diffuse infiltrates of macrophages within the white matter. polyoma virus ( and sv40), ebv latent membrane protein (lmp), and cmv immunostains are negative. . special stains were performed on blocks a-d. luxol fast blue (lfb) shows a near complete loss of myelin staining in the white matter, with scattered staining present within macrophages. no hemosiderin deposition is seen on iron stain arguing against a chronic vasculitis. bodian stain reveals areas within the white matter showing preserved demyelinated axons. in other white matter areas there is axon loss. the findings supportive of an acute and chronic primary demyelinating disorder (e.g., multiple sclerosis). clinical: specimen submitted: 1. left occipital lobe tumor #1 2. left occipital lobe tumor #2 3. deep left occipital tumor 4. left occipital lobe tumor. clinical diagnosis and data: tumor left brain. gross: the specimen is received fresh in four parts, labeled with the patient's name, ", " and the medical record number. part 1 is additionally labeled "left occipital lobe tumor #1". it consists of multiple tan-pink soft tissue fragments measuring 0.7 x 0.7 x 0.4 cm in aggregate. 50% of the specimen was frozen and smeared and the intraoperative diagnosis by dr. is: "brain with loss of parenchyma, macrophage, infiltrate, and gliosis and scattered atypical astroglia". the specimen is entirely submitted as follows: a = frozen section remnant, b = remaining tissue. part 2 is additionally labeled "#2 frozen left occipital tumor". it consists of multiple tan-pink soft tissue fragments measuring 1.5 x 0.7 x 0.3 cm in aggregate. 50% of the specimen was frozen and smeared and the intraoperative diagnosis by dr. is: "destructive white matter process, with gliosis, macrophages and scattered microglia. focal neutrophilic infiltrate". the specimen is entirely submitted as follows: c = frozen section remnant, d = all remaining tissue. part 3 is submitted for intraoperative consultation additionally labeled "left deep occipital tumor #3". it consists of multiple tan-pink soft tissue fragments that measure 0.8 x 0.7 x 0.3 cm in aggregate. 50% of the specimen was used for smear and frozen section. the frozen section and smear diagnosis by dr. is: " matter and necrotic white matter. smear contains some calcified and fibrotic material (? abscess wall)". the specimen is then entirely submitted as follows: e = frozen section remnant, f = all remaining tissue. part 4 is additionally labeled "left occipital lobe tumor". it consists of multiple tan-pink fragments that measure 0.5 x 0.2 x 0.1 cm in aggregate. the specimen is entirely submitted in cassette g. mri brain : 1. allowing for post-biopsy changes, the left parietal lesion appears similar to . pathology is pending. 2. no evidence of acute intracranial abnormalities. 3. normal head mra. eeg : impression: abnormal portable eeg due to the slow and disorganized background, bursts of generalized slowing, and additional focal delta slowing in the left posterior quadrant. the first two abnormalities signify a widespread encephalopathy. medications, metabollic disturbances, and infection are among the most common causes. the additional focal slowing indicates subcortical dysfunction in the left posterior quadrant, likely related to the reported mass. there were no clearly epileptiform features. retroperitoneal mass needle biopsy: diagnosis: left retroperitoneal mass, core biopsy: 1. fibrous tissue with lymphoplasmacytic inflammation; see hemepath note. 2. refer to separate cytology report (c09-3221) for additional information. hemepath note (dr. ): h&e sections show small, tight clusters of cd20-positive b-cells, with a small population of scattered cd3-positive t-cells. although a reactive process is favored, a low-grade b-cell lymphoma cannot be ruled out. clinical: rest of retroperitoneal mass. 58 year old male found to have large left retroperitoneal mass with lymphadenopathy. gross: the specimen is received in a formalin-filled container labeled with the patient's name ", f" and the medical record number and consists of multiple fragments of core biopsy and tissue measuring up to 1.0 cm in length. the specimen is strained through a biopsy bag and submitted entirely in a. retroperitoneal mass, needle biopsy touch-prep: suspicious for malignancy. a few clusters of highly atypical cells have large nuclei and prominent nucleoli. the cytoplasm is stripped and further classification is not possible scrotal us impression: 1. no testicular mass. normal epididymis. 2. diffusely heterogeneous left testis, without enlargement. this appearance likely reflects prior injury such as remote trauma or orchitis brief hospital course: this 58 yo man was admitted with confusion and right visual field loss as outlined in the hpi. his brain mri showed a large left posterior lesion, suspicious for tumor. since this may have been a met, a ct torso was pursued, which showed a large retroperitoneal mass with enlarged lymph nodes. he underwent an open biopsy of his brain lesion, and the intraop pathology suggested there were no tumor cells and this was a demyelinating lesion. he was placed on a 5-day course of iv solumedrol followed by a slow prednisone taper from 60 mg to off over ~ 2 weeks. he has improvement, but not complete resolution of his visual field loss and confusion. he also sustained some right weakness, particularly in the delt post brain surgery, however this improved to nearly full strength over days. he next received an ir-guided needle bx of his retroperitoneal mass. the touch-prep of this was suspicious for malignant cells, however the core histology just showed an inflammatory process. because of this disparity, he underwent a laproscopic biopsy of his retroperitoneal mass. the preliminary results of this suggested a cancer. the final pathology is still pending, but the pathologists were able to tell us that it was not a cancer that required immediate treatment. he received an oncology consult, and will be followed in the oncology clinic. during the duration of his admission, he was followed closely by the team. they changed his regimen to humalog 75/25 90/50/50 tid qac. his neurological exam on dc was significant for ongoing deficits in attention and memory and a right inferior quadrantanopsia. medications on admission: 1. plavix 2. humalog 160 units qam and qpm 3. humulin 20 units qam and qpm 4.

admitted with a large demyelinating lesion in the posterior part of your left brain, causing some confusion and visual loss. you were placed on a course of steroids and have improved over time. you also had a ct of your abdomen and were found to have a retroperitoneal mass, which was biopsied. the final results of this biopsy are pending at the time of discharge, but preliminary resulys sugges this is a type of cancer. you can follow up with both oncology and the clinic who can discuss these results with you. general instructions ?????? have a friend/family member check your incision daily for signs of infection. ?????? take your pain medicine as prescribed. ?????? exercise should be limited to walking; no lifting, straining, or excessive bending. ?????? you may wash your hair only after sutures and/or staples have been removed. if your wound closure uses dissolvable sutures, you must keep that area dry for 10 days. ?????? you may shower before this time using a shower cap to cover your head. ?????? increase your intake of fluids and fiber, as narcotic pain medicine can cause constipation. we generally recommend taking an over the counter stool softener, such as docusate (colace) while taking narcotic pain medication. ?????? unless directed by your doctor, do not take any anti-inflammatory medicines such as motrin, aspirin, advil, and ibuprofen etc. followup

to dr. , s/p a whipple in with postoperative complications of anastamotic leaks and failure to thrive, as well as a known ec fistula. he was recently discharged from the hospital after a long course of treatment for klebsiella bacteremia from hepatic abscesses and obstructive cholangitis and issues with enteral feedings. he was seen at dr. clinic last friday, at which time his pigtail drains were removed, because the previous abscesses had resolved, although new smaller ones, not amenable to drainage were noted. he was to continue his antibiotics for 2 more weeks after drain removal. . he now returns from with a reported hct of 20. he reports feeling fatigued, more from baseline. he says that he still has poor po appetite, but is tolerating tube feeds at 90cc/hr overnight. he does note

mg-1.9 . imaging: ct abd/pelvis w/contrast: interval decrease in size of multiple gas containing hepatic fluid collections. there are new ill-defined hypodense lesions within the lateral right hepatic lobe, which are suspicious for new foci of infection given the short interval time course. there is a tiny new fluid collection in the right lateral abdominal wall in the area of prior drain, measuring approximately 1.8cm maximally. otherwise, no new fluid collections are identified. . portable abdominal x-ray: only a supine portable view of the abdomen is submitted for interpretation, precluding assessment for free intraperitoneal air. considering the clinical concern, either a fully upright or left lateral decubitus view would be recommended. a percutaneous feeding tube is present terminating in the expected location of the jejunum. a non-obstructive bowel gas pattern is visualized. . cxr: interval placement of right subclavian catheter terminating in the lower svc with no evidence of pneumothorax. examination is otherwise unchanged since the recent study except for development of linear atelectasis at the left lung base. . ecg: tracing submitted late and out of sequence. rhythm is probably sinus tachycardia but consider also possible atrial tachycardia given the markedly rapid rate. probable left anterior fascicular block. qtc interval may be prolonged but is difficult to measure. modest st-t wave changes. findings are non-specific. clinical correlation is suggested. since the previous tracing of marked tachycardia is now present and modest st-t wave changes are seen. intervals axes: rate pr qrs qt/qtc p qrs t 169 0 80 292/482 0 -53 62 . mrcp (mr abd w&w/oc): correlation is made with prior ct performed on . findings: again noted are multiple peripherally enhancing hepatic fluid collections containing foci of gas consistent with abscesses. allowing for differences in technique, these are not significantly changed in size, and no new collections are identified. for example, the collection within segment vii posteriorly measures 2.9 x 3.3 cm in its entirety, with the central fluid component measuring 1.7 x 1.1 cm. the central fluid component on prior ct measured 1.6 x 1.5 cm. the collection within segment measures 2.7 x 1.9 cm in its entirety, with the anterior central fluid component measuring 0.9 x 0.9 cm. this is difficult to compare to the prior ct, but appears stable to smaller. there are two foci of enhancement within the right lateral abdominal wall in the site of prior drainage catheter tracts. there are no focal fluid collections within the abdominal wall. again noted are postsurgical changes from whipple procedure. there is no intra- or extra-hepatic biliary dilatation. mrcp images are limited, but there is no obvious focal stricture. the remaining pancreas is atrophic and the pancreatic duct is mildly prominent. there are stable retroperitoneal lymph nodes. there are bilateral nonenhancing renal cysts. a cyst within the posterior left renal mid pole is bright on t1 pre-contrast images, consistent with hemorrhagic or proteinaceous fluid. the left kidney is mildly atrophic compared to the right. there is mild diffuse anasarca. susceptibility artifact is noted in the anterior abdominal wall from multiple surgical clips. the spleen and adrenal glands are normal. the visualed abdominal bowel loops are nondilated, and there is no ascites or new focal fluid collection. limited images of the lower chest demonstrate loculated right pleural fluid and atelectasis and minimal left pleural fluid. the visualized bone marrow signal is unremarkable. a percutaneous jejunostomy tube is identified. multiplanar reformations and subtraction images provided multiple perspectives for the dynamic series. impression: 1. multiple hepatic abscesses, not significantly changed in size given differences in technique. no new fluid collections are identified. there is enhancement within the right lateral abdominal wall in the region of prior drainage catheters, without focal fluid collection. 2. stable post-surgical changes from whipple, with no evidence of biliary dilatation. 3. bilateral renal cysts. brief hospital course: the patient was admitted to the general surgical service on for evaluation of the aforementioned problem. was continued on a regular diet with supplements, cycled tubefeeds via the j-tube, which enters the duodenum via a ec fistual, on home medications and oral antibiotics, the latter consisting of ciprofloxacin, clindamycin, and linezolid. these antibiotics were prescribed during his last admission for abdominal abscesses, which grew out pseudomonas, mrsa and beta strep. upon admission, his hgb was 7.5 and hct 22.7, for which he was transfused 2 units of prbcs without adverse event. nutrition, ostomy nurse, physical therapy, and occupational therapy were consulted early during this admission. infectious disease also followed the patient during the admission. overall, the patient was hemodynamically stable. on hd#2, the patient received an additional unit of prbcs responding with a hgb of 10.4 and hct of 31.4. urine and blood cultures were sent. he was given supplemental hydration with lactated ringer's via the j-tube. tolerated tubefeeds at goal, but only fair intake of his diet. early on , the patient became hypotensive, acutely confused and briefly unresponsive. he was transferred to the sicu. a cxr, ecg, labwork, and blood cultures were performed. a foley catheter and a-line were placed. the ekg was unremarkable, and the cxr showed moderate (r) pleural effusion increased, rightward mediastinal shift with opacification in (r) lower lobe most likely representing atelectasis. he was given a 1l lr bolus with good response. he was started on iv flagyl for possible colitis. a abdominal/pelvic ct with contrast demonstrated interval improvement in the hepatic fluid collection and a few small new collection less than 1.8cm in size. trophic tubefeeds were started. the next sicu day, his diet was restarted and trophic tubefeeds continued. he experienced another episode of hypotension on , and was again bolused with a total of 725ml lr with good response. tubefeeds were again held. a cvl was placed, and iv cefepime was added for temperature spikes to cover pseudomonas. on , he remained hemodynamically stable. he was restarted on tubefeeds, this time continuous advancing to goal, which he tolerated. given that he continued stable into , he was transferred back to the inpatient floor. early on , the patient again experienced an episode of confusion. heart rate was tachy between 104-125, other vital signs were stable. no fever or leukocytosis. labwork, blood and urine cultures were sent. later that morning, his mental status returned to baseline. on , the patient underwent mrcp, which revealed multiple hepatic abscesses, but not significantly changed in size given differences in technique, and no new fluid collections. given these finding demonstrating overall improvement and potential risks of interventional biospy, it was ultimately determined in consultation with infectious disease to forego planned ultrasound-guided aspiration and biopsy of one or more of the liver abscesses. infectious disease continued to follow along, updating antibiotic recommendations. on , cefepime, clindamycin, and cipro were discontinued, with the patient continued on flagyl. the lineolid was completed on . the flagyl will be continued until outpatient infectious disease follow-up appointment on . other than that mentioned above, the hospital course back on the floor was unremarkable. he ambulated early and frequently with nursing or physical therapy, was adherent with respiratory toilet and incentive spirrometry, and actively participated in the plan of care. the patient received subcutaneous heparin and venodyne boots were used during this stay. the patient's blood sugar was monitored regularly throughout the stay; sliding scale insulin was administered when indicated. his labwork was monitored regularly; electolytes repleted when needed. after his foley was discontinued, he voided without problem with an adequate urine output. he tolerated cycled tubefeeds via the j-tube and a regular diet. marinol was added on to stimulate his appetite. he was also started on viokase and imodium prn for loose stools with improvement. at the time of discharge on , the patient was doing well, afebrile with stable vital signs. the patient was tolerating a regular diet, although with poor intake, ambulating, voiding without assistance, and pain was well controlled. he was tolerating cycled tubefeeds via the j-tube, placed through the ec fistula. the ostomy appliance as ordered remained intact. the patient was discharged to an extended care facility. the patient received discharge teaching and follow-up instructions with understanding verbalized and agreement with the discharge plan.

whipple in for ampullary carcinoma complicated by enterocutaneous fistula's and failure to thrive. the patient was pan cultured and subsequently followed closely by the infectious disease service. he was placed on flagyl, cipro and aztreonam. his initial blood cultures from were + klebsiella and they presumed he had cholangitis as a source for his gram negative bacteremia. unfortunately he continued to spike temperatures and was hypotensive therefore he transferred to the icu for closer management. his antibiotics were adjusted due to his prior h/o esbl ecoli. gentamycin was added as was vanco for mrsa coverage. his hemodynamics were stable and his wbc was coming down. based on an abdominal ct which was done on and showed multiple fluid collections, he was sent to ir on and had 2 drains placed and a 3rd site aspirated. these were cultured and grew pseudomonas, mrsa and beta strep. his antibiotic regimen included clindamycin, ciprofloxicin and bactrim ds however on he had another temperature spike and was recultured. on and 21 his blood cultures were positive for enterococcus therefore his picc line was removed. his chest xray showed an enlarging right effusion for which he underwent thoeracentesis and he returned to interventional radiology for manipulation of his drains to aspirate any undrained collections. his bactrim was subsequently changed to linazolid. final recommendations from the infectious disease service include the continuation on linazolid, ciprofloxicin and clindamycin for 14 days after the drains are removed along with weekly cbc with diff, bun creat and lft's. he will follow up in 2 weeks with dr. . from a nutrition standpoint, his fibersource tube feedings were infusing at 90cc/hr over an 18 hour period however he had many interruptions in his feedings secondary to the tube either being dislodged or removed by the patient. concurrently he was on a regular diet which he intermittently tolerated well. due to the fact that the feeding could not be replaced until the week of and he was feeling better and anxious to get home, he was discharged on and will return for placement of the feeding tube next week. his pain was controlled with a fentanyl patch and oral dilaudid for breakthrough. he was up and ambulating without difficulty. he will be discharged with follow-up for wound and drain care, and will follow up with dr. in 2 weeks with a repeat abdomional ct. medications on admission: 1. ursodiol 300 mg capsule sig: two (2) capsule po twice a day. 2. metoprolol tartrate 50 mg tablet sig: one (1) tablet po bid (2

seen. right central venous line tip is at the level of mid svc. et tube and the ng tube are in appropriate location, unchanged since the prior study. ct head- impression: 1. right frontal approach shunt catheter has an extraventricular course, terminating at the septum pellucidum. 2. mild increase in the parenchymal hemorrhage surrounding the shunt catheter in the right frontal lobe. 3. bihemispheric subarachnoid and intraventricular hemorrhage, subdural hematomas have not significantly changed since the prior study. ct head- impression: 1. status post ventriculostomy catheter placement from right frontal approach without a definitive intraventricular course as described on prior report. 2. similar appearance of bilateral subdural collections with similar to slightly increased subarachnoid hemorrhage and definite increase in intraventricular hemorrhage. this finding was discovered at 9:39 a.m. and discussed with at 9:43 a.m. on by dr. over the phone. 3. similar appearance of air and blood products around the course of the ventriculostomy catheter within the right frontal parenchyma. brief hospital course: the patient was admitted to the neurosurgery icu for q1 neurochecks and vital signs. she was started on nimodipine 60mg q 4 hours and seizure prophylaxis. strict sbp less < 130 parameters was initiated and she was kept npo. an evd was placed at 15cm h20 and a ct was performed which confirmed good placement. in the am of she underwent a cerebral angiogram and coiling of a left pcomm artery aneurysm. she was transferred back to the sicu post procedure. a portable head ct was performed in the am which revealed a new hemorrhage along the evd track and increased sdh. baseline tcd's were performed. an echo and eeg were also requested. the echo showed lvef>55%, and the eeg showed diffuse encephalopathy with no evidence of clinical seizures. on his collar was cleared, and on his ivf were decreased from 100cc/hr to 75cc/hr. on his evd was raised to 20, he had a cta that showed more porminent hygromas and no vasospasm. overnight, icps were stable and evd draining adequately. on , patient w/d bue and triple flexes ble. his drain remains at 20 and tcds are negative for vasospasm. on , tcds with no evidence of vasospasm. ivf were discontinued and lasix ws given for diuresis with goal of 2l negative. on , the external ventricular drain was at 20 h2o cm above the tragus. the patient had a low grade fever of 100. icp were . family meeting****. a cta was performed which was consistent with spasm r mca & basilar arteries. on , the external ventricular drain stopped draining. a nchct was performed which was stable and did not show any hydrocephalas. the patient was tachypneic and hypertensive. on exam the patient withdrew to noxious stimulous in all 4 extremities. on , the external ventricular catheter was clamped 0800. teh clamping trial failed at 1130 am whe the patient icp elevated to 27-29. the serum bun was noted to be 40 which was elevated from the mid 20s on . ancef 2 gm tid was added for empiric evd coverage as the evd site was slightly edematous and warm on palpation. wbc was slightly elevated at 13.4. on : the evd site appearance was improved. there was no erythema and improved edema. the ivf 100 at cc/hr wa sdiscontinued. the evd stopped draing at 0600, 1200, and 4pm and each time tpa was instilled in the line for 20 mints to obtain patency.a nchct was performed which was stable. on exam the patient opened the left eye to noxous stimuli,minimal withdrew to noxious in the bilateral upper eextremities, and triple flexion was exhibited in the bilateral lower extremities. the serum bun was improved to 33. the wbc improved to 12.3 a tcd was performed which showed right mca spasm which was stable when compared to . the external ventricular drain was lowered to 10 h2o mmhg above the tragus. an eeg was ordered to evaluate for seizure activity and to evaluate the further requirment of keppra. the eeg was consistent with no seizures. his icp waveform was dampened at 011 on and it was flushed with return of waveform. on his exam remained poor overall, his drain output began to slow and tpa was instilled at 1430, clamped for 30 mins, and when re-opened there was brisk drainage of csf. during the day of , his evd was functioning well. in the evening it was no longer draining and flushing did not help. the tubing was pulled back a bit then began draining. head ct to confirm placement was performed. on csf was sent and mri head and c-spine imaging was done. mri revealed multiple small infarcts but nothing to explain mental status. the results were discussed in a family meeting as well as goals of care. it was decided to proceed with trach and peg planning. on the evd continued to be tenuous with periods of non-drainage requiring flushing and tpa. his neurological exam remained unchanged. on in the early am the evd required tpa infusion again for non-drainage. this was infused after a head ct was performed and stable. at approx 8:30am the patients blood pressure rose to over 200, icp increased to 70's with a wave form. it was also noted to have new blood around the evd dressing. neurological exam was stable but the patient was taken for a stat head ct. ct revealed new acute ivh. the findings were discussed with the sicu staff and family. at this time it was recommended that care be withdrawn and not proceeding with trach and peg. the family was in agreement with this plan and asked for evd and et tube to be removed as soon as possible. he was started on a morphine gtt and these were both performed. the patient passed away of respiratory failure with the family at the bedside in the afternoon of . medications on admission: allopurinol 100qd, , 81,

male with history of htn and niddm who was transferred here from after ct head revealed large l pca infarct and smaller infarcts in r temporal and parietal lobes and an old r cerebellar infarct as well as concern for early left-sided uncal herniation. # multiple strokes of likekly embolic origin: cta showed occlusion of the l ica and narrowing of the r vertebral artery. the presence of multiple bilateral infarcts was concerning for a proximal source of embolization (cardiac or aortic arch). he also was found to have leukocytosis with wbc of 20,000 at the time of admission. he was afebrile with no cardiac murmur on exam or peripheral stigmata of endocarditis however, this was a concern. the patient was initially admitted to the intensive care unit for monitoring. his neurological exam remained unchanged during the 48 hours in the unit. he had no arrhythmias on telemetry, and both a tte and tee were performed but did not reveal a cardiac source of emboli. he was started on aspirin 325 mg daily. he was not a candidate for immediate anticoagulation given the large size of his strokes. repeat head ct on was without evidence of hemorrhage. given this, it is recommended that the patient transition from aspirin therapy to coumadin starting on . his neurologic exam as remained stable. he should follow-up in the clinic in 6 weeks for repeat evaluation. # diabetes: hga1c on admission was 9.0. the patient was maintained on his anti-diabetic medications with an additional insulin sliding scale for optimum glycemic control. given his poorly controlled diabetes, the patient may benefit from transition to a purely insulin based regimen of his diabetes. # hypercholesterolemia: ldl was 106. the patient was started on zocor 40 mg daily. # leukocytosis: the patient had a leukocytosis of 20,000 when admitted but no source of infection was identified. he was afebrile and all blood and urine cultures have been negative to date. is it possible that the patient developed an aspiration pneumonitis in the setting of stroke and this is now resolving. he has not recieved antibiotics. # headache: the patient intermittantly reported headache which was felt to be tension headache in nature. he recieved tylenol but occasionally required additional medications. we recommend the use of ultram if his pain is not relieved by tylenol. medications on admission: amaryl 4 mg ,

non specific) brief hospital course: a/p mr. is a 44 yo man with a history of methamphetamine use, chronic pain, and asthma who presented with dyspnea, progressing to hypoxemic/hypercarbic respiratory failure as well as elevated troponin, and is now being transferred to the for further management. 1. acute respiratory failure, unclear etiology - on arrival to the he was intubated, with cxr showing bilateral interstitial infiltrates, and appearance of the chest x ray was consistant with infectious pneumonia versus pulmonary edema versus injury from drug inhalation. it was felt that infection was likley given the leukocytosis with bandemia, although he had been afebrile. he was treated with a course of vanc/levo as well as bactrim given radiographic appearance that was concerning for pcp. was also continued on steroids and nebs to treat any copd component that may be present. he had a negative serology for hiv 2 months ago, and repeat test from was also negative. ucx, bcx and bal from osh were negative. blood cultures from were negative. bal done on the day of admission showed purulent material in the rll, but cultures were negative as was afb and pcp . bactrim was discontinued. he was ventilated per ardsnet protocol with initial requirements for peep of 15 and high fio2 to maintain oxygenation. the hypoxia improved and he was able to be weaned to minimal vent settings over the course of several days, concurrent with improvement of the infiltrates on his cxr. of note, sedation was a problem for him as he became quite agitated on fentanyl/versed drip. he was maintained on propofol for sedation, with baseline levels of fentanyl and diazepam to treat/prevent any withdrawl (high home levels of home benzo and opiate). he had several aspiration events over the course of hospitalization whenever his sedation was lightened. he was able to be extubated on hospital day 5, and did well although he continued to be tachypnic, likely from continued anxiety and perhaps benzo withdrawl. vanc and flagyl were discontinued at day 7, and levofloxacin was continued for completion of a 14 day course. he completed his course, and was off oxygen at discharge. . 2.elevated troponin - troponin was elevated at the osh peaking at 1.22 with report of minor nonspecific st changes on ekg, and no elevated ck. troponin was already declining when he left for transfer to the and continued to trend down in the . ekg here showed no evidence of ischemic change and tte was normal. troponin bump was felt to be most likely due to demand ischemia. given his risk factors (smoking, htn, hyperlipidemia, he would likely benefit from an outpatient stress test. he was treated here with 81mg asa, statin, b blocker. . 3. asthma/copd - mr. has a known diagnosis of asthma, and his lungs appeared somewhat hyperinflated on cxr. given his extensive smoking history, it was felt that there may also be an element of copd impacting his course. he was treated with steroid taper and standing nebulizers. . 4. chronic pain/polysubstance abuse - was initially very difficult to sedate on versed/fentanyl and so this was weaned down early and sedation was maintained with propofol. of note, he was on home doses of clonazapam 4mg with alprazolam 1mg prn. with weaning of the versed he began to show some signs of benzo withdrawl (tachycardic, diaphoretic, increased bp, fever) and was started back on some iv ativan, which did not seem meet his needs. on the advice of pharmacy, he was started on diazepam iv 20mg q4hrs standing, with additional doses prn for maitenance of sedation as propofol was weaned down. he was also put on his home dose of fentanyl for his chronic pain and to minimize opiate withdrawl. social work was also consulted re: polysubstance abuse. . 5. hematemesis - he has a brief episode of hematemesis while intubated following a bout of coughing. this did not recur and his hematocrit remained stable. an h. pylori was sent and is still pending. . 6. nutrition - he was started on tube feeds, but continued to have high residuals as well as several aspiration events throughout his stay, despite treatment with metaclopramide. tube feeds were intermittently held, and following extubation he failed a speech and swallow, necessitation replacement of the ng tube for nutrition. a more aggressive bowel regimen was also started. . 7. acute delirium - he had an apparent delirium, with difficult to control agitation. he improved after discharge from the icu, although he did have persistent severe anxiety. he was slowly restarted on his psychiatric medications with improvement. comm: wife dr (pcp) medications on admission: meds at home gabapentin 800mg omeprazole 20mg qod alprazolam 1mg qd clonazepam 4mg thorazine 200mg qhs propranolol 10mg effexor 225mg qd fentanyl patch 50 mcg q72hrs percocet 10mg prn breakthrough pain albuterol inhaler 2 puffs q6hrs meds at transfer fentanyl iv drip simvastatin 40mg qd maalox prn effexor 75mg qhs vecuronium 5mg q4hrs prn tylenol 650mg q6hrs prn pain methylprednisilone 40mg iv tid reglan 10mg iv q6hrs versed drip neurontin 200mg asa 81mg qd inderal 10mg protonix 40mg iv qd lorazepam 1mg q6hrs prn bactrim 300mg iv tid (-) levaquin 500mg qd (-) vancomycin 1gm q12hrs (-) discharge medications: 1. lipitor 20 mg tablet sig: one (1) tablet po once a day. 2. fentanyl 50 mcg/hr patch 72 hr sig: one (1) patch 72 hr transdermal q72h (every 72 hours). 3. acetaminophen 325 mg tablet sig: two (2) tablet po q4h (every 4 hours) as needed. 4. aspirin 325 mg tablet sig: one (1) tablet po daily (daily). 5. venlafaxine 225 mg tab,sust rel osmotic push 24hr sig: one (1) tab,sust rel osmotic push 24hr po once a day. 6. gabapentin 400 mg capsule sig: two (2) capsule po bid (2 times a day). 7. chlorpromazine 100 mg tablet sig: one (1) tablet po hs (at bedtime). 8. alprazolam 1 mg tablet sig: one (1) tablet po once a day as needed. 9. propranolol 80 mg capsule,sustained action 24 hr sig: one (1) capsule,sustained action 24 hr po daily (daily). 10. clonazepam 2 mg tablet sig: two (2) tablet po twice a day. 11. abilify oral 12. hydrochlorothiazide oral 13. outpatient lab work bmp, , results to dr. . discharge disposition: home discharge diagnosis: acute hypoxic respiratory failure deconditioning severe anxiety chronic pain syndrome bipolar disorder dysphagia dehydration discharge condition: improved, on room air, tolerating diet, walking independently, slightly tachycardic with ambulation. discharge instructions: you were transferred from another hospital to our icu, where you were admitted with respiratory failure. you were intubated and on a ventilator for almost one week. all the infectious causes were evaluated and were negative. you may have had a viral infection leading to severe lung disease, worsened by your smoking. you improved after you left the icu, and got your strength back fully. . return to the ed if you develop worsened shortness of breath, or cough, chest pain, palpitations, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, difficulty eating, difficulty walking, severe anxiety, or confusion. . resume your home medications, including all of your psychiatric medications. take less thorazine than usual until you are used to it again, and less klonopin. followup instructions: follow up with your primary care doctor and your psychiatrist. . bmp , results to dr.

respiratory distress and chf. he received plavix, integrilin and heparin and then was transferred to the or emergently in cardiogenic shock for revascularization. his ef was noted to be 10-15% by echo in the or with a large area of infarct. he weaned form bypass on epinephrine, levophed, milrinone, insulin, and propofol drips. he had a significant amount of ventricular ectopy post operatively and electrolytes were repleted.he received amiodarone as well. he subsequently remained stable postoperativley.thge epinephrine then the levophed were slowly weaned, keeping his map>65mmhg. the iabp was weaned to 1:2 and removed on pod 2. the amiodarone and milrinone were continued and extubation occurred on pod 2. the milrinone was weaned and discontinued as an acei was begun, and he remained stable. he was then transferred to the step down floor on pod 3. the chest tubes and wires were removed. he was seen in consultation by the physical therapist. he was noted to have bursts of atrial tachycardia and therefore was seen by electrophysiology who recommended continuation of the amiodarone and a repeat echocardiogram in a month. due to paf and the low lvef he was anticoagulated with coumadin. on the evening of pod 7 () he was noted to have an unsteady gait and felt exhausted. there was left sided weakness of the leg/arm with neglect. the stroke team was notified and an emergent

patient has developed afib with rvr in setting of hd mtx in the past, likely because of stress of high rate infusion of meds and fluids. unfortunately, fluid infusion could not be stopped as kidneys need to be continuously perfused in order to prevent mtx crystallizing in renal tubules. patient was asymptomatic during this time. during last admission, patient was started on metoprolol 25mg tid and during this admission, cardiology recommended diltiazem 30mg qid for added rate control. per outpatient cardiology notes, plan is for patient to have stress test and then to initiation propafenone. patient was also started on lovenox when he had his first episode of atrial fibrillation, and was continued on this during admission. of note, patient was ruled out for acute coronary syndrome with cardiac enzymes negative x 3. his heart rate was controlled with uptitration of metoprolol and he was started on diltiazem with uptitration of the dose to 90 qid with prn 10mg iv for heart rate > 120. his heart rate was ultimately controlled. he was back in sinus rhythm after discontinuation of requisite ivf for methotrexate. after discussion with cardiology, he was sent home back on metoprolol, at 25 mg twice daily of tartrate, to facilitated from three times daily dosing 12.5 prior to admission. he was instructed to call his cardiologist on the monday following discharge to schedule closer follow-up. diltiazem was discontinued. . #. hypotension - most likely due to arrhythmia causing decreased cardiac output. no signs of infection as patient afebrile with normal white count. blood cultures were sent on transfer to icu and were negative or pending. also may consider cardiogenic etiology, as patient is at risk for cardiomyopathy given recent chemotherapy, he was ruled out on for an mi. in addition, hypotension may have been related to calcium channel blocker and beta blocker used for rate control. hypotension resolved with rate control. . #. dlbcl - stage ivb-e. overall outpatient oncology plan is to treat with chop/ x 6 with hd mtx x 4 for cns ppx. today he is c6d10 r-chop, c3d2 hd mtx. has been having good urine output during the course of this admission. he wa continued on leucovorin rescue. mtx levels were followed at 24, 48 and 72 hours and he was continued on bicarbonate @ 100 cc/hr. acyclovir and bactrim were initially held but restarted on discharge. he was on a low acid diet. he was asked to follow-up with his hematology-oncologist on the monday following discharge. his primary oncologist was notified of his discharge. . inactive issues #. chronic peripheral neuropathy -

are identified, one is located at the bifurcation of the right internal carotid artery, measuring approximately 10 x 6 mm in coronal projection and approximately 7.5 mm in transverse dimension (image 38, series 604b). the second aneurysm is visualized at the bifurcation of the right middle cerebral artery, measuring approximately 7.3 mm in transverse dimension and approximately 6.6 x 7.3 mm in coronal projection. the third multilobulated aneurysm is identified at the bifurcation of the left middle cerebral artery, measuring approximately 8 mm in transverse dimension 7 x 9 mm in coronal projection. the posterior circulation appears unremarkable, the neck vessels are also normal in contour and origin with no evidence of narrowing or stenosis. the bone structures demonstrate mild degenerative changes consistent with posterior spondylosis at c6/c7 level. chest xray : findings: there are diffuse bilateral ground-glass opacitiesconcerning for moderate pulmonary edema. there is a small linear opacity at the left lung base, likely atelectasis. there is no pleural effusion. increased lucency at the left costophrenic angle; attention on the next radiograph to exclude basal pneumothorax. hilar, mediastinal and cardiac silhouette within normal limits. ct head : impression: 1. extensive bilateral subarachnoid hemorrhage, stable since the prior study. multiple known right and left mca aneurysms, better evaluated on the prior cta study. 2. no ct evidence of infarction. 3. diffuse cerebral edema with effacement of the hemispheric sulci. no evidence of herniation. 4. moderate interval decrease in the ventricular size, status post placement of evd catheter. ct head : impression: 1. status post coiling of right mca and left mca aneurysms. diffused cerebral edema. 2. otherwise, no change from at 9am. echo : the left atrium and right atrium are normal in cavity size. the estimated right atrial pressure is 5-10 mmhg. left ventricular wall thicknesses and cavity size are normal. there is mild regional left ventricular systolic dysfunction with hypokinesis of the mid inferior, mid inferolateral, and mid anterior walls. the remaining segments contract normally (lvef = 50%). the estimated cardiac index is normal (>=2.5l/min/m2). right ventricular chamber size and free wall motion are normal. the aortic valve leaflets (3) appear structurally normal with good leaflet excursion and no aortic stenosis or aortic regurgitation. the mitral valve leaflets are structurally normal. there is no mitral valve prolapse. mild (1+) mitral regurgitation is seen. there is mild pulmonary artery systolic hypertension. there is no pericardial effusion. impression: normal left ventricular cavity size with regional systolic dysfunction in an atypical/non-coronary artery distribution. mild mitral regurgitation. pulmonary artery hypertension. chest xray : heart size and mediastinal silhouettes are unremarkable. interval improvement in widespread parenchymal opacities, most likely consistent with interval improvement of pulmonary edema. bibasilar opacities are still present, most likely residual although atelectasis cannot be excluded. chest xray : impression: interval worsening of the mild-to-moderate pulmonary edema and mild increase in the mild-to-moderate left pleural effusion. head ct : impression: 1. slight redistribution of the bilateral subarachnoid hemorrhage with associated bilateral cerebral sulcal effacement, stable. no extra-axial or intraparenchymal hemorrhage evident. 2. ventricular size and left ventriculostomy catheter tip positioned in the third ventricle, stable. 3. there is now a small amount of acute hemorrhage and adjacent edema, surrounding the left transfrontal venticulostomy catheter tract, new since the previous study. head

slightly decreased in size. no residual intraventricular hemorrhage seen. 4. limited evaluation of the a1 and proximal a2 segments of the anterior cerebral arteries, and of the m1 segments of the middle cerebral arteries, due to streak artifact. decreased caliber of the proximal a2 segment of the left anterior cerebral artery, and of the superior division branches of the left middle cerebral artery, cannot be excluded. 5. residual filling of the left mca terminus aneurysm around the coil pack. no evidence of residual filling of the coild right ica terminus aneurysm on limited evaluation. 6. unchanged, untreated right mca bifurcation aneurysm. the previously noted 2 mm aneurysm versus infundibulum at the left ica terminus is poorly seen due to artifacts. lenis : impression: no evidence of dvt in the bilateral lower extremities. cta head : impression: 1. evolving infarctions in bilateral frontal lobes, right insula, and right temporoparietal lobes, which have increased in size as compared to the prior study. 2. stable subarachnoid hemorrhage with associated sulcal effacement. a left frontal ventriculostomy catheter with associated small hemorrhage along its course. the ventricles are stable in size as compared to the prior study. 3. limited evaluation of the a1 and proximal a2 segments of the anterior cerebral arteries and the m1 segments of the middle cerebral arteries due to the streak artifact. a decrease in the caliber of the proximal a2 segment of the left anterior cerebral artery and at the superior division branches of the left middle cerebral artery cannot be excluded; however, the overall appearance is unchanged since the recent study. 4. retrograde filling of the left middle cerebral artery bifurcation aneurysm around the coil pack. no evidence of retrograde filling of the coiled right internal carotid artery terminus aneurysm. 5. unchanged right middle cerebral artery bifurcation aneurysm. the previously noted 2-mm aneurysm versus infundibulum at the left internal carotid artery terminus is poorly-seen due to artifact. tcd: abnormal tcd evaluation. increased velocities of both mca consistent with mild vasospasm. this represents

doppler ultrasound negative for dvt ct head 1. status post bilateral mca branch aneurysm coil embolization. 2. no evidence of hydrocephalus ct head impression: 1. interval resolution of previously seen cerebral and basal ganglia enhancement, suggesting that these were related to contrast staining from the patient's prior angiogram. 2. tiny right frontal sulcal hyperdensity may represent a small focus of subarachnoid hemorrhage. no other sites of hemorrhage are seen. ct torso impression: 1. no retroperitoneal hematoma. 2. 5-mm non-obstructive right renal stone. 3. subsegmental bibasilar atelectasis. lenies findings: grayscale and doppler images of the right and left common femoral, superficial femoral, popliteal, and proximal calf veins were obtained. there is wall-to-wall flow with normal response to compression and augmentation in all visible veins. partially imaged inguinal lymph nodes are not enlarged. impression: no dvt in either lower extremity. brief hospital course: 53f who was admitted to with a sah. she arrived intubated and sedated. the patient continued to fight the vent and was given additional sedation. a cta head showed multiple aneurysms at mca/m2. off sedation one hour later she was withdrawing all four extremities with reactive pupils and corneals. she was taken to the neuro icu where she was monitored closely. she was started on dilantin and nimodipine. early morning on she was noted to have a exam change where she was only withdrawing three extremities and a evd was placed. a repeat head ct showed a stable sah and proper evd cath placement. she was taken to angiogram on am. in angio: dr coiled the two larger aneurysms (mca and l m2). the dome of the largest (l m2) is coiled and secured but will need further intervention. the second largest (r mca) is coiled but will need further intervention. the third smaller/stable one (r m2) is not coiled but has a broad neck so wi11 need a stent assisted coiling at a later time. post-angio her sheath was kept in place and removed later in the afternoon. at this time it was noted that she was posturing with all four extremities. her evd was functioning and her icps were less than 10. pupils were symmetric and reactive. we did a repeat head ct that remained stable with diffused cerebral edema. sedation was held and after an hour her exam improved to were she localized briskly with lue, withdraws briskly the ble, but the rue had no movement. overnight, she was monitored closely with no other incident. on her wbc was elevated with a temperature spike. a bronchoscopy was discussed but deferred for concern for her unsecured aneurysm by the icu team, but has been approved by neurosurgery. her cardiac enzymes continue to trend down. an echo was done which showed an ef > 50%. tcds were done which were normal. on she remained stable throughout the day. initially it appeared her rue was weaker but then improved in the afternoon. tcd was normal. overnight there were intermitted times when her evd would stop draining and her icps would elevate to 25. her drain was flushed with normal saline distally and proximally then dropped down to -5, the evd would then drain and continue to do so. this occurred about three times overnight. a head ct was obtained as a planning measure for tpa. mannitol 25gm iv was given x1 and her profolol was increased. no tpa was given overnight. on her evd continued to drain, her csf was clear. her exam remained stable. during her icu course she continued to have intermittent low grade fever and cultures as of have been negative. she was extubated on but did not tolerate it and required to be reintubated withing 40 minutes. on tcd showed possible vasospasm of r mca with velocities 111. cta was performed which was consistent with evolving infarctions in the paramedian frontal lobes, in the anterior cerebral artery territories, and in the lateral left frontal lobe, in the middle cerebral artery territory. there was stable subarachnoid hemorrhage with associated sulcal effacement. the patient failed extubation due to stridor and possible upper airway obstruction and was re intubated within 40 mins of extubation without difficulty. on the patients exam was stable. she was making brief eye contact . the left upper extremity was purposeful and localized briskly. the right upper extremity fluctuated moving on the bed spontaneously verses withdrawal, the bilateral lower extremities moves spontaneously and intermittently withdrew to painful stimulus, the pupils were consistently reactive on : the patient's exam was stable. a tcd was performed which was consistent with moderate to severe spasm. the ivfluid was increased to 75cc/hr. lenis were performed which were negative. the patient spiked a fever to 101.5 and the sub clav central line was changed to picline. the icp was 8 most of the day. the evd was at 10 draining 5-10cc/hr. a csf culture was sent. on : the patient was pan cultured in early am for a t max of 102. the tcd stable (moderate spasm). the cta head was consistent with no interval change.the famotidine discontinued as the tube feedings were at goal. there was some question of seizure activity (spasm of lue) a 20 min eeg was performed which showed no seizure activity. the sbp goal was increased to 140-160 which was maintained all day given her tcd report. when the patient was sleeping in the afternoon she required a vasopressor gtt to keep the sbp 140-160. on she remained febrile and required a cooling blanket. given her fevers, extubation was held. her evd was raised from 10 to 15 without any increase to her icps. tcd showed moderate spasm to the l mca. she went to angio on to evaluate her vessels. a coil was migrating to the r mca so a stent was placed and she was started on plavix. her exam remained stable. on she remained febrile but her exam remained stable. her evd was raised to 20 and was tolerated overnight. she was also placed on propofol for aggitation with et tube. there was no extubation of the ett due to copious thick white secretions sputum culture and mini-bal which was consistent with gram negative rods, gram positive cocci)the patient was started on a ventilator assited pneumonia bundle -- which includes:vanco/cefep/tobra. on , the evd was clamped and patient's exam remained stable. she has increased secretions. on , the evd continued to be clamped. the intercranial pressures were normal. the head ct was consistent with no developing hydrocephalus or midline shift. the transcranial dopplers were normal and did not show vasospasm. on : the evd was discontinued and 2 staples were placed for skin closure. a cerebral spinal fluid sample was sent for culture, gram stain negative with no growth to date. the patient was extubated. the old evd incsion staples placed on were removed. on exam, the patient opened her eyes spontaneously, moved all extramities purposfully/antigravity/ equally but did not follow commands. the pupils were equal and reactive. the hematocrit was stable at 24.8 with a hgb or 8.3. on , a head ct was performed that was overall stable, showing a small amount of air within the ventricular system, attributable to evd removal. ventricular size was stable and there was no evidence of hemorrhage. overall the patient's neurological exam improved and she was sitting up in a chair. physical therapy and occupational therapy were consulted. on lower extremity doppler ultrasounds were done bilaterally for screening and demonstrasted no evidence of dvt. pt/ot and speech were consulted during her stay. pt/ot recommended acute rehab. pt continued on tubefeeds as indicated by nutrition. she failed her speech and swallow eval and remained on tubefeeds. her nimodopine was discontinued. she went to the neurointerventional suite for stent assisted coiling of her r mca aneurysm. post operatively she was transferred to the icu for further care. on the evening of the 10th she was bradycardic wihtout known cause. she aslo had a seven second pause. this is currently being observed without further episode. she underwent a ct of the torso to r/o retroperitoneal bleed - this was negative. she was transferred to the step down unit on on telemetry with ongoing screen for rehap placement. she was seen by endocrine for a low tsh. their recommendations were to follow this up as an outpt and this level is likely due to her icu stay and medications, repeat tsh is recommended in 6 weeks along with a tpo and anti thyroglobulin antibodies. medications on admission: none discharge medications: 1.

allergies: medroxyprogesterone / ethoxzolamide attending: chief complaint: type b dissection major surgical or invasive procedure: none history of present illness: 81 y-o lady presents as transfer from with diagnosis of type b aortic dissection. she presented to on following an episode of syncope and chest pain at home. on arrival to ed she was in af with rapid ventricular response - she was immediately given beta blockers for rate control. troponins peaked at 0.09. she was admitted to the icu and started on coumadin. other diagnoses upon admission included a uti and a left lower lobe presumed pneumonia. over the course of her stay at , the patient had complaints of decreased appetite and vague abdominal pain. her lfts were elevated on arrival, and her transaminases were in the 600 and 700 range. a ruq ultrasound of her gb was obtained and was negative for cholecystistis. a cta of her chest and abdomen were obtained yestereday and showed a type b aortic dissection that started just distal to the left subclavian takeoff and extended to just above the level of the renal arteries. per report, the true aortic lumen supplies the mesenteric and celiac arteries. however, based on the patient's consistently rising lfts, there is concern that the dissection may now be extending into the celiac artery. the patient was therefore transferred to for bp control and for potential intervention of the patient's type b dissection. at the current time, the patient reports no chest pain or leg pain. she denies a history of claudication. she has vague abdominal pain and has had decreased appetite over the past week. she is no longer nauseated and has not been vomiting in the past 72 hours. she reports that her bp normally runs 150-200 systolic. past medical history: htn,

outside examination. 1. type b aortic dissection with extension of the dissection into the upper abdomen. the false lumen is partially thrombosed in its course in the chest and almost completely thrombosed in its course in the upper abdomen. 2. the celiac artery, superior mesenteric artery, and the renal arteries arise from the true lumen. the hepatic arteries are patent in their visualized course. although these are not assessed in their entirety and a doppler ultrasound of the liver would help clarify further if there is continued suspicion for abnormal hepatic flow. 3. large bibasal effusions with atelectasis at the lung bases, more marked on the left. 4. a 23 x 19 mm hyperdense cyst at the lower pole of the left kidney should be further assessed with a dedicated renal ultrasound. . us of gallbladder: impression: no liver lesions seen. no gallstones identified and no biliary dilatation. patent portal vein and patent hepatic artery. . ct of head: impression: old right cerebellar infarct and likely small vessel ischemic disease. if clinical concern persists for acute event, consider mr imaging. no evidence for intracranial hemorrhage. . mri of head: impression: limited study with only diffusion and t1 sagittal images acquired. no acute infarct seen. . echo: the left atrium is normal in size. there is mild symmetric left ventricular hypertrophy with normal cavity size and regional/global systolic function (lvef>55%). right ventricular chamber size and free wall motion are normal. the aortic valve leaflets (3) are mildly thickened but aortic stenosis is not present. no aortic regurgitation is seen. the mitral valve leaflets are mildly thickened and myxomatous. there is moderate bileaflet mitral valve prolapse. moderate (2+) mitral regurgitation is seen. there is mild pulmonary artery systolic hypertension. there is a trivial/physiologic pericardial effusion. impression: mild symmetric left ventricular hypertrophy with preserved global and regional biventricular systolic function. bileaflet mitral valve prolapse with moderate mitral regurgitation. mild pulmonary hypertension. . carotid us: impression: bilateral mild plaque with 1-39% ica stenosis. right vertebral artery was not seen. normal left vertebral flow. no prior studies available for comparison. . ct abd and pelvis: impression: 1. no evidence of retroperitneal hemorrhage. 2. stable bilateral pleural effusions. 3. diverticulosis without evidence of diverticulitis. 4. intimal flap in the descending aorta, consistent type b aortic dissection, which cannot be completely evaluated on this non-contrast study. brief hospital course: assessment and plan: this is a 81 f transferred from osh for management of a type b aortic dissection. now w/ transaminitis, clearing mental status, anemia of unknown etiology and fever. . # fever: had a low-grade fever on admission. per osh report, was treated for a pna and uti in the past week. no focal signs/sx of infection per patient (denies cough, diarrhea). did spike a temperature while here but likely from a femoral line infection. the line was removed and she did not have any fevers 24 hours after the removal. did have slightly positive ua, even after foley was discontinued. femoral line was removed, and tip sent for culture. no significant growth from tip yet. cxr from shows pleural effusions but no clear infiltrate. . # type b aortic dissection: dissection is distal to lsc and extends to renal arteries. she was transferred to transaminitis and concern for celiac artery involvement. per vascular surgery, the plan is for medical management. transaminitis may have been from hypoperfusion or secondary to heavy tylenol use at home. did not appear to be hypoperfusing from scans done here. stopped tylenol and monitored lfts. they went down and will be monitored as outpatient. no clear answer but has stabalized. we will continue labetolol bp control, patient well controlled. . # htn: goal systolic bp 130-150 for control of the type b dissection. was initially monitored on iv medicines in the icu, but was eventually weaned off iv meds and started on labetolol and lisinopril. patient has been close to goal and stabalized on meds. . # anemia: normocytic. unclear . s/p 3 u prbc since admission, 2 units on and 1 u . did seem to bump hct appropriately after her transfusion. per the nursing report, no gross blood after disimpaction. per patient, had a colonoscopy 2 years ago that was wnl. guaiac negative. no signs of bleeding or rp bleed on ct scan. still does not have known source of blood loss. the patient should be monitored as an outpatient and likely will need a colonoscopy. she was on heparin for her afib during this time, which may be contributing to the blood loss from her colon or somewhere else. she will be discharge on coumadin. . # transaminitis: from hypoperfusion vs. possible gallstone pancreatitis. looking at labs, did not quite have high enough lipase to really be a gallstone pancreatitis, but this transient elevation could be from the passing of a stone. transaminitis was resolving on discharge. hepatitis a total antibody was positive. as an outpatient, if transaminitis persists can consider sending test for igg and igm hepatitis a. # paroxysmal afib: had some afib with rvr while in the icu. was stabalized with iv beta blocker. currently in sinus. given infarcts on ct head, is at high risk for strokes. continue labetolol. was bridged on heparin because of this high risk of stroke, and was started on coumadin on . does not need to be bridged as the risk of stroke is low once discharge to rehab. please continue coumadin treatment and check inr daily until therapeutic in 1.5-2.0 range and then adjust coumadin as needed. . # ? nstemi: by report, trops elevated at osh but this was in the setting of afib w/ rvr. no focal wma on echo. currently w/o cp. continue statin, asa, labetalol w/ goal hr < 70. likely was not an nstemi, but troponin leak from rvr stress. . # hypoxia: mostly around 93% on 2l. went down to 90% on room air. did have large bilateral pleural effusions on ct chest from . ? from atelectasis. also treated recently for pna. repeat cxr showed small bilateral effusions with possible atelectasis. plan is to ambulate patient and encourage incentive spirometry, in hopes that her oxygenation will improve. was not on o2 before admission. she worked with pt and did not require any oxygen and had appropriate ambulatory saturation levels. she can continue o2 as needed for comfort at rehab, and should be easily weaned with is and movement. . # dysphagia: was npo while sick in the icu, advance diet and mental status improved. she has known chronic dysphagia from esophageal strictures. she has been cleared by speech and swallow and will be on solid foods and thin liquids, but will need to remain on aspiration precautions. . # altered mental status: resolved. likely encephalopathy. ct head w/ old right cerebellar infarct and likely small vessel ischemic disease. the encephalopathy was probably multifactorial and improved as her medical problems improved. . # gastritis: continued ppi . . # was for rehabilition as she was severely deconditioned after being in bed for 2 weeks. she should work with pt and increase her strength and independent ambulation with hopes of eventually being independent at home again. medications on admission: asa 81 famotidine 40 simvastatin 10 tylenol 650 mom 30 colace 100" melatonin 1 reglan 10 lisinopril 40 metoprolol 100" discharge medications: 1.

head trauma. on he was found to be confused, speaking nonsensical words, and his brain imaging showed a hemorrhage in the left lateral ventricle. his inr was 1.9, and he received vitamin k, and 1u of ffp. he was then transferred to , where he was admitted to neurosurgery. past medical history: -lung cancer (underwent left sided lobectomy 25 years ago) -atrial fibrillation -hyperlipidemia

man was admitted with bilateral intraventricular hemorrhage to the icu intubated. his icu course was complicated by pna and uti that were treated with full courses of antibiotics. his icu course was also complicated by persistent htn and tachycardia. cardiology was consulted and his rate and bp were controlled with a panoply of pharmacological agents, which were eventually titrated to an oral regimen that could be administered on the general floor. efforts to elucidate secondary causes of htn were unrevealing. once transferred to the general floor, he remained afebrile and his bp and hr remained well controlled. his lipid panel was elevated and so his dose of home pravastatin was increased. per discussion with both his family and pcp, history of multiple falls recently precludes him from re-starting his coumadin despite his af. his neurological exam on discharge was notable for ongoing disorientation, mild right nlf flattening, moving all ext antigravity, though probably with some weakness r > l, upgoing toes bilaterally, and able to transfer from bed to chair with max assist, but unable to functionally ambulate. medications on admission: coumadin 3mg pravastatin 20mg

there are focal calcifications in the aortic arch. the aortic valve leaflets (3) are mildly thickened but aortic stenosis is not present. the mitral valve appears structurally normal with trivial mitral regurgitation. there is no mitral valve prolapse. the left ventricular inflow pattern suggests impaired relaxation. there is mild pulmonary artery systolic hypertension. there is no pericardial effusion brief hospital course: ms. is a 72 year old female with htn, diastolic chf, asthma, admitted to osh with gnr bacteremia with cholesytitis, cholangitis, and gallstone pancreatitis, transferred to following unsuccessful ercp complicated by a. fib with rvr. 1. gnr bacteremia. likely source of gnr bacteremia is cholecysitis/cholangitis. patient's bp remained stable though patient was initially tachcyardic in setting of a. fib with rvr, now resolved with diltiazem. cultures done at osh revealed e.coli sensitive to cipro & unsasyn. she was continued on unasyn and cipro for double gn coverage. surgery co-managed this patient, who underwent successful ercp on during which a gallstone was removed, resolving biliary obstruction. on patient underwent laparoscopic cholecystectomy. post surgery patient's wbc was within normal range, patient was afebrile. she was discharged home without any antibiotic coverage. . 2. cholecystitis/cholangitis. patient admitted to osh with elevated lfts, abdominal pain, and sono consistent with cholecystitis. given that lfts were consistent with an obstructive picture, an ercp was performed on . source of gnr bacteremia was thought to be from a biliary source. the patient was continued on antibiotics as above, and was transferred to surgery once stable for further management. on patient underwent laparoscopic cholecystectomy. surgery was done without complications. post surgery patient was continue on antibiotics. wbc was normal. . 3. pancreatitis. likely sedcondary to gallstone pancreatitis. she was initially hydrated with ivfs, kept npo, and her pain managed with morphine. her lipase was downtrending. on patient underwent laparoscopic cholecystectomy. surgery was done without complications. post surgery patient's diet was advanced slowly to regular/diabetic, patient tolerated diet well. patient's liver enzymes were normal prior disharge, her lipase was slightly elevated. . 4. a. fib with rvr. paroxysmal and recurrent. pt reports yrs of palpitations. developed a.fib with rvr in setting of procedure, which resolved initially after diltiazem drip and continuation on diltiazem 30 po but returned x5hrs on floor, with spontaneous return to sr. given patient's chads score of 3, she may be a candidate for anticoagulation and should be scheduled with pcp to discuss this further. with diltiazem 30mg po patient heart rate continue to be sinus rhythm with occasional pacs. patient was started on aspirin 325 mg po qday and her diltiazem was converted to diltiazem er 240mg po qday per cardiology recommendation. patient will have a follow up with cardiologist on regarding further a-fib management. . 5. htn. anti-hypertensives were held in the setting of cholangitis/cholecystitis. patient's bp was closly monitored during hospital stay and her sbp was 120s-150s. patient was instructed to restart all her home anti-hypertensive medication after discharge and follow up with her pcp for further management. . 6. asthma. continued home advair, and given prn nebs. . 7. diabetes. kept on hiss and monitored fingersticks. on discharge was started on diabetic diet with low carbohydrates. she did not require exogenous insulin at discharge. . 8. diastolic chf. cardiomegaly on cxr. echo demonstrated elevated lv filling pressures with preserved ef (70-80%) and no wall motion abnormalities. per patient, she was told she had a "large heart" following her first pregnancy at age 26. during hospitalization patient didn't demonstrate any symptoms of chf exacerbation. lung x-ray was grossly normal, patient has trace lower extremities edema. patient denies sob or doe. patient will follow-up with cardiology as an outpatient. . at the time of discharge, the patient was doing well, afebrile with stable vital

s/p cardiac arrest: per ep, concerning for familial long qt syndrome. genotyping sent. awaiting results. he had a single lead icd placed without complication. he will need to follow up in device clinic and with his new electophysiologist to follow up his long qt genotyping. he will continue on metoprolol 25 mg . he will need electrolytes checked daily while receiving aggressive diuresis and should have his k repleted to >4 and his mg repleted to >2. . # toe gangrene/le ulcers: patient did not improve on antibiotics and therefore underwent debridement and toe amputation. no deep tissue cultures sent so covering broadly with meropenem and vancomycin for a 2 week course for soft tissue infection. he will complete his meropenem and vancomycin on . according to vascular surgery attending, patient did have bone involvement at the time of surgery but he felt that all of the involved bone was debrided so at this time he does not require treatment for osteomyelitis. he will need to follow up with his vascular surgeon dr. in 2 weeks to assess for appropriate granulation and need for further intervention. he will continue wet->dry dressing changes on his r foot and vac dressing on his left foot per vascular and wound care recommendations. he will also receive adaptic/ace on venous ulcers bilaterally. of note, patient had been receiving hyperbaric oxygen treatments as an outpatient and if possible, could continue as an outpatient. . # c diff: diagnosed on stool culture. diarrhea has improved on po flagyl. he has not had any significant fever, leukocytosis, or abdominal pain. he will require 2 weeks of flagyl after completion of his broad spectrum antibiotics. he will therefore complete his flagyl on . . # uti: diagnosed with citrobacter uti. sensitive to meropenem. complicated due to foley. as above, he will complete 2 weeks of meropenem which will treat his uti. unfortunately, his foley could not be removed due to penile and scrotal edema but as he continues to diurese (below) and his swelling improves, his foley should be removed. . # volume overload: patient notes several months of volume overload and weight gain following his avr. unclear cause. echo checked here showed preserved ef. potential contribution of recently decreased lasix prior to admission as well as acute renal failure on admission. he was initially diuresed with iv lasix, starting at 80 mg iv bid and then increased to 100 mg iv bid. he diuresed well (1-2 liters negative/day) and creatinine improved with diuresis. prior to discharge he was transitioned to torsemide 80 mg po bid with good response. he should continue this medication and should have his electrolytes monitored daily to ensure he does not go into renal failure or have significant electrolyte abnormalities. . # acute on chronic renal failure: prior baseline cr of 1.3. on admission, cr 2.1. slowly improved throughout hospitalization. potentially related to volume overload and poor forward flow. this improved with diuresis as above. . # af: history of paroxysmal af. on coumadin as an outpatient. his coumadin was held prior to his vascular surgery and his icd and was restarted at his home dose of 2.5. his inr remained subtherapeutic so his coumadin dose was increased to 5 mg on . he will need inrs checked 3-5 times a week until his inr is stable and therapeutic. . # dm: his glimeprimide was held on admission. he was treated with 8 units of lantus and insulin sliding scale. these were continued on discharge. his glimeprimide can likely be restarted as outpatient. . #

syncope and hypotension. . 1. syncope and hypotension. hypotension most likely from combination of overdiuresis and antihypertensive medications as well as infection with leukocytosis and positive ua. she reports weight loss, feeling thirsty and lightheaded for the past three days. this was probably exacerbated by mild diarrhea prior to admission. hyponatremia and arf also consistent with volume depletion. not likely adrenally insufficient since she has been on stable prednisone. arrhythmia, seizure, stroke and hypoglycemia less likely. she was volume resuscitated with 2l ns fluid boluses. in the ed, rij was placed and she was initially on dopamine and neo but dopamine was rapidly weaned off. upon transfer to floor, she was only on low dose neo which was weaned off the following day. uti was treated as below. diuretics and heart failure medications initially held but then cautiously retsarted as below. baseline sbp 80s-90s. . 2. cad. pt had recent nstemi with 70-80% stenosis rca on cath at osh with likley recannulization. here had some lad stenosis last admission now s/p bmsx2. she has been compliant with asa + plavix. no sign of acute stent thrombosis. ekg on admission showed lateral std consistent with strain in setting of hypotension. cardiac markers were not significantly elevated and were flat. continued asa, plavix, statin, cautiously restarted beta blocker. . 3. chronic systolic chf: pt has severe systolic chf with ef 20% with severe lv dilation, severe mr, and pulm htn. upon admission, she was hypotensive and felt to be hypovolemic from possible overdiuresis. she was volume resuscitated with ns x 2l and her heart failure meds and diuretics were slowly reintroduced. she was continued on digoxin (level 0.8 on admission). torsemide was restarted at 20mg then uptitrated to 20mg , captopril started then changed to enalapril 2.5mg which was decreased from 20mg . spironolactone was also restarted. ep was consulted for consideration of icd for primary prevention given low ef. they initially recommended repeat echo in 3 months but then recommended icd as discussed below given development of complete heart block. . 4. complete heart block: pt developed complete heart block on with hypotension sbps 60s and hr 50s. ecg and telemetry c/w complete heart block with junctional escape. block likely infra-his. block resolved spontaneously after approximately 10-15 minutes and bp subsequently improved to sbps 90s. since ep was already consulted for biv icd for chf with low ef, they were asked to re-evaluate patient given new heart block. biv icd was placed without complications. she was continued on clinda x 72 hours post implantation. 5. uti: pt had complaints of dysuria with enteroccocus on urine cx sensitive to vanco and macrobid and ampicillin. she was treated with 5 days of vancomycin. she did not have any fevers in hospital. 6. arf: arf from hypovolemia as above. improved rapidly with volume resuscitation and holding antihypertensives. . 7. rib/clavicle fractures: pain controlled with tylenol prn. she was given sling for comfort and should follow up with dr. in 2 weeks. 8. asthma: currently no wheezing. continued prednisone 5mg daily, advair, inhalers prn. asthma tolerated readdition of beta blocker. . 9. pt had eosinophilia on day of discharge, 9.9%. repeat cbc with diff should be checked as outpatient and

admitted with shortness of breath and chest pain, please evaluate for infiltrate or effusion. since , moderate left and small right pleural effusions are new with bibasilar opacity, likely atelectasis. heart size is difficult to assess. there are no signs of edema. scoliosis is unchanged. . cardiac cath comments: 1. selective coronary angiography revealed two vessel cad. the lm was angiographically normal. the lcx was angiographically normal. the lad had a mid 70-80% hazy lesion and the mid-distal lad had a 70% lesion. the rca had moderate diffuse distal disease but the discrete lesion seen on friday was clearly no longer evident. there was evidence of distal embolization with slow flow in rpl. 2. limited hemodynamics with bp 83/55 with hr 83 in sinus. we gave 500cc ns bolus. right heart cath was deferred. 3. stenting of lad with vision 3x8 and 3x12mm bare metal stents. 4. groin closure with mynx device final diagnosis: 1. two vessel coronary artery disease. 2. severe cardiomyopathy with ef 20% and cardiac index 1.3 on friday 3. nstemi involving rca territory. 4. stenting of lad. echo the left atrium is moderately dilated. left ventricular wall thicknesses are normal. the left ventricular cavity is severely dilated. overall left ventricular systolic function is severely depressed (lvef= 20 %) secondary to akinesis of the entire interventricular septum and inferior free wall and severe hypokinesis of the anterior free wall and apex. the posterior wall contracts normally and the lateral wall is only mildly hypokinetic. tissue doppler imaging suggests an increased left ventricular filling pressure (pcwp>18mmhg). transmitral doppler and tissue velocity imaging are consistent with grade iii/iv (severe) lv diastolic dysfunction. there is no ventricular septal defect. right ventricular chamber size and free wall motion are normal. the aortic valve leaflets (3) are mildly thickened but aortic stenosis is not present. no aortic regurgitation is seen. the mitral valve leaflets are mildly thickened. there is no mitral valve prolapse. the mitral valve leaflets do not fully coapt due to posterior and apical tethering of the leaflets. an eccentric, posteriorly directed jet of severe (4+) mitral regurgitation is seen. the left ventricular inflow pattern suggests a restrictive filling abnormality, with elevated left atrial pressure. moderate to severe tricuspid regurgitation is seen. there is moderate pulmonary artery systolic hypertension. there is no pericardial effusion. impression: severe, multifocal left ventricular contractile dysfunction with severe chamber enlargement, severe mitral regurgitation, preserved posterior wall contractile function, moderate pulmonary hypertension, and moderate-to-severe tricuspid regurgitation brief hospital course: patient is a 59f with non-ischemic dilated cardiomyopathy admitted with progressive sob and intermittent cp with borderline elevated biomarkers at osh transferred for asa desensitization and pci. . #. asa desensitization: patient completed asa desensitization per protocol with solumedrol, benadryl and singulair prior to desensitization. she was subsequently continued on asa 325 po daily which she tolerated. she did not have any adverse reactions to asa desensitization. . #. cad/chest pain: pt found to have 2vd on cardiac cath at osh. she had echo without focal wma so unclear if 2vd is true etiology of her current symptoms. ekg changes and elevated biomarkers may also be c/w strain. since it was felt that her symptoms may benefit from intervention, she was taken to cath lab on . her rca was not found to be occluded at the time and findings were consistent with recent lysis and embolization of an rca thrombus. the lad, however, was found to have approx 70%-80% stenosis. she had bms x 2 to lad. subsequently, she was continued on asa 325, plavix 75 daily, statin, imdur, beta blocker. . #. pump: pt has longstanding history of non-ischemic dilated cm of unknown etiology with ef 20-25% with severe global hk. symptoms over last several months most c/w decompensated systolic and diastolic heart failure. possible exacerbating factors include medication changes (lasix dose decreased by half), dietary indiscretion and recent viral illness with increased demand. from echo here, it is also possible that her longstanding history of cardiomyopathy may have been ischemic after all, although it is difficult to tell now. she was diuresed for net negative 1-2 liters per day, intially with iv lasix 40 iv bid then with 80 lasix iv bid. we considered titrated heart failure therapy with swan ganz catheter due to severity of elevated wedge and low ci at osh cath but did not feel it was neccessary since she was responding well to lasix iv and was comfortable on room air with sats in mid 90s. per notes, she is not candidate for heart transplant pulm htn and has refused icd in past. per osh records she had elevated dig level prior to admission. dig level 0.6 here. dig was restarted. she was continued on aldactone, beta blocker, ace. we attempted changing metoprolol to carvedilol but pt had increased wheezing with carvedilol so changed back to metoprolol. diuretic regimen changed from furosemide to torsemide atr discharge for improved heart failure management and diuresis. . #.leukocytosis: pt had mild leukocytosis with complaints of urinary dysuria and mildly dirty ua. foley catheter was d/c'd. urine culture grew enterococcus but u/a negative and pt without symptoms so antibiotics were not started at discharge. leukocytosis may have been partially related to steroids. . #. rhythm: sinus. continued beta blocker. . #. asthma: pt has h/o increased bronchospasm with asa in past. she tolerated asa well without exacerbation of asthma symptoms. continued outpatient regimen of advair, nebs, predisone 5mg po daily. . #. anxiety/depression: continued celexa, valium, buspar . #. hypothyrodism: continued synthroid. tsh wnl . #. code:

lying against the cabinets in a pool of feces. they called 911, and on transport to , her bp was found to be 58/38. she was given ivf on transport and in the ed at . . she was afebrile, and her blood pressure responded to fluid resuscitation to 90s/40s on transfer. she has been mentating the entire time. at the osh a chest x-ray and head ct were done. both of which were negative for any acute process. she was given a dose of vancomycin and cefepime at the outside hospital out of concern for infection given her neutropenia (wbc 0.2 at the osh) and hypotension. . on arrival to the floor, her

mrs. is a 63-year-old woman with recurrent burkitt's lymphoma who is d+15 of admitted from an osh with hypotension and neutropenia after a syncopal episode at home. . # hypotension/syncope: she was found to be hypotensive to 58/38 by ems, which responded to fluids. she was fluid resuscitated to sbp of 70s by ems and sbp of 90's by osh ed prior to transfer. blood cultures were drawn and she was given cefepime and vanco and transferred to 7 . on arrival she was given 2l of fluid, 1 unit of blood, and cefepime, vancomycin, and flagyl. her pressures responded. osh cultures came back as vre 1:4 bottles, sensitive to ampicillin, daptomycin, levofloxacin, and linezolid. she was switched to ampicillin on and her picc was pulled. she was switched to daptomycin on monday because she had begun receiving hyper cvad part b and amp interferes with clearance of methotrexate. she had a tte and tee which showed no vegetations. as she was being treated for the bacteremia, ms. again became hypotensive and febrile, requiring transfer to the where she required pressors. blood cultures were sent and ultimately returned positive with pseudomonas, believed to be associated with her central line. her line was pulled and her broad spectrum antibiotic coverage (started given her sepsis in the setting of neutropenia) was narrowed to cefepime, gentamicin, and linezolid. gentamicin was d/c-ed a few days after transfer to the floor and linezolid was transitioned to ampicillin as the patient was believed to have leukosuppression secondary to the linezolid. she completed a 10 day course of antibiotics (amp and cefepime) from the time her anc was greater than 1000 per id recommendations and remained afebrile and hemodynamically stable for the remainder of her hospital course. . # burkitt's lymphoma: she was admitted on day +15 of . an lp with intrathecal chemotherapy was performed on . a subclavian line was placed on and treatment with hyper cvad part b was started on . she tolerated her chemotherapy well, complicated by mild mucositis and the bacteremia discussed above. she had one more round of intrathecal chemotherapy with cytarabine on . lps on , and were negative for malignant cells. patient had significant right shoulder and arm pain as well as right hand weakness, believed secondary to brachial plexus involvement of her lymphoma. she underwent mri of her r shoulder which confirmed this finding and had 4 sessions of xrt as a palliative therapy. she had 4 lp's which were negative for malignant cells. had it cytarabine on prior to discharge which she tolerated well. pt had ct of torso to evaluate for progression of disease, read at the time of discharge was pending but will be followed up at follow-up appointment monday following discharge when pt will return for chemotherapy gemcitabine and vinorelbine. acyclovir and fluconazole were held given elevated lfts, will trend lfts as outpatient and do liver ultrasound if necessary. pt was given pentamidine prior to discharge for pcp . . # cardiomyopathy: patient became tachycardic at the time of her second episode of sepsis. this continued intermittently through her stay and subsequently on the floor. tachycardia was sinus in nature, up into the 140s with movement, and was attributed to an underlying cardiomyopathy (ef 45-50% on echo, last on ). cardiology was consulted for management and she was started on metoprolol 12.5mg which she tolerated well. . # dvt: found to have right upper extremity dvt last admission and was on lovenox for that until she had a drop in platelets (treatment related). she was thrombocytopenic during her admission and her lovenox was held. an ultrasound of the arm was repeated and was negative for clot. . # hypothyroidism: stable. continued

15, 19, 20, 33, 34, 41, 45, 56, 64, 71, 117. results: three color gating is performed (light scatter vs. cd45) to optimize lymphocyte yield. lymphoma cells comprise 20% of total gated events. t cells comprise 72% of lymphoid gated events, express mature lineage antigens, and have a helper-cytotoxic ratio of 1.6. no abnormal events are identified in the "blast gate." interpretation immunophenotypic findings consistent with involvement by a kappa restricted cd10 positive b-cell lymphoproliferative disorder. the immunophenotypic profile in concert with the morphologic features of the lymphoma on the bone marrow smear and core biopsy are consistent with burkitt's lymphoma. see s10- for correlation with morphology. specimen: bone marrow aspirate and core biopsy: diagnosis: hypercellular marrow entirely replaced by a high grade lymphoid tumor with morphologic and immunophenotypic features consistent with burkitt lymphoma (see note). microscopic description peripheral blood smear: erythrocytes appear decreased in number, and show mild anisocytosis. occasional polychromatophilic cells present. 13 nucleated rbcs per 100 wbcs present. the white blood cell count appears increased. there is absolute lymphocytosis. about 50% of the lymphocytes are medium to large, with an irregular nucleus with prominent one or more nucleoli. cytoplasm is deep basophilic and shows vacuoles. occasional neutrophil shows hypogranular cytoplasm with unsegmented nuclei. platelet count appears decreased. differential count shows 24% neutrophils, 1% bands, 2% monocytes, 52% lymphocytes, 17% eosinophils, 2% myelocytes, 2% metamyelocytes. aspirate smear: the aspirate material is adequate for evaluation. the m:e ratio cannot be reliably assessed since the marrow is replaced by a lymphoproliferative process. erythroid precursors are relatively reduced. myeloid precursors appear markedly decreased. megakaryocytes are present in decreased numbers. differential shows: <1% blasts, <1% promyelocytes, <1% myelocytes, <1% metamyelocytes, 4.2% bands/neutrophils, <!% plasma cells, 2.6% lymphocytes, 1.8% erythroid, 90% medium size blasts with basophilic cytoplasm with numerous vacuoles. clot section and biopsy slides: the biopsy material is adequate for evaluation, and consists of a core biopsy of paratrabecular bone measuring 2.2 cm. cellularity is 80%. the marrow is almost entirely replaced by a population of medium to large atypical lymphoid cells interspersed with tingible body macrophages. lymphoma cells exhibit nuclei with blastic chromatin with multiple nucleoli, and contain moderate amounts of amphophilic cytoplasm. normal hematopoietic elements greatly decreased. rare megakaryocytes are present. marrow clot section consists of bone marrow similar to biopsy and fibrocollagenous tissue. special stains: storage iron cannot be assessed due to absence of spicules and erythroblasts (marrow completely replaced by lymphoma cytogenetics pending as of cxr- impression: no acute cardiopulmonary process. low lung volumes 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 normal (lvef>55%). right ventricular chamber size and free wall motion are normal. the aortic valve leaflets (3) appear structurally normal with good leaflet excursion and no aortic regurgitation. there is no aortic valve stenosis. the mitral valve leaflets are mildly thickened. there is no mitral valve prolapse. trivial mitral regurgitation is seen. there is mild pulmonary artery systolic hypertension. there is no pericardial effusion. impression: normal biventricular systolic function. mild pulmonary hypertension. liver or gallbladder us

and diagnostic immunophenotypic features of involvement by a non-hodgkin b-cell lymphoma are not seen in specimen. a small population of cd45 (moderate) positive cells is noted comprising 3% of total analyzed cells. review of corresponding blood smear showed occasional immature-appearing mononuclear cells, morphologically consistent with blasts. flow cytometry ()- non-specific t cell dominant lymphoid profile; diagnostic immunophenotypic features of involvement by lymphoma are not seen in specimen. bm biopsy ()- - normocellular myeloid dominant marrow with myeloid left-shift, megakaryocytic hyperplasia and erythroid hypoplasia. - no diagnostic morphologic features of lymphoma seen. cytogenetics ()- no cytogenetic aberrations were identified in 20 metaphases analyzed from this unstimulated specimen. csf ()- negative for malignant cells. csf ()- negative for malignant cells. brief hospital course: ##. burkitt's lymphoma: pt was seen by heme/onc in ed, and bone marrow bx performed at that time. prelim read from heme-path suggesteded large cell lymphoma w/ vacuoles suggestive of possible burkitt's lymphoma. treatment was initiated with steroids. the patient began spontaneous tumor lysis prior to induction of chemotherapy. nephrology was consulted and patient was started on cvvh. pt received rasburicase for uric acid converion with good response as well as allopurinol. patient was then initiated on codox. received daily dexamethasone and cytoxan. she remained on cvvh with tumor lysis labs stable and ldh steadily trending down. dic labs remained wnl. ebv, cmv, hiv viral loads were negative. tte was done to evaluate baseline function prior to doxorubicin. doxorubicin and vincristine were administered on . methotrexate was given on , vincristine on and intrathecal cytarabine on . cytopathology-immunophenotyping from the csf fluid obtained on was positive for presence of lymphoma. she was started on acyclovir and received pentamidine for prophylaxis. she completed codox and was then started on ivac on . counts were slow to recover. ct scan showed bilateral pleural effusions (l>r). concern for methotraxate collecting in pleural fluid leading to persistent neutropenic and poor recovery of counts. interventional pulmonary team was consulted and drained 250cc of pleural fluid from left side on . no signs on infection were found in the fluid. patient's anc recovered almost immediately (- 0, - 129, - 594). repeat bm biopsy and csf studies showed no disease. while receiving ivac, she developed visual hallucinations, arm/leg tingling (no numbness) and increased anxiety. this was attributed to ifosphamide and, therefore, her 5th dose of the drug was not administered. her symptoms improved daily after ivac course was completed. she was on neupogen from . she received it methotrexate on and it-cytarabine on . her counts responded appropriately. plan after discharge is to begin codox-m therapy. she has an appointment scheduled with dr. (admitting physician) on / ##. rue thrombosis: the patient noted right upper extremity swelling. ultrasound was obtained, which demonstrated thrombosis in the right brachial and basilic veins. she was not anticoagulated given her significant thrombocytopenia. u/s repeated on which showed no progression of clot. picc line was kept in right arm but was eventually pulled due to vre-positive cultures (see below). ## c. difficile associated disease: she noted loose bowel movements, with c. diff antigen returning positive on . she was started on iv flagyl and po vanc. diarrhea eventually resolved. id was consulted re: duration of therapy. they recommended checking stool for c.diff antigen and if negative than to discontinue antibiotics. stool checked on was negative for c.diff so antibiotics were discontined on . she then developed recurrent diarrhea on and was empirically treated for c diff. she had 2 stool samples negative for c. diff at this time, but was treated with a course of oral vancomycin to be continued after discharge, at least until her next oncology appointment (scheduled for ). ## febrile neutropenia: she was noted to have a fever in the setting of neutropenia. she was started on vancomycin, cefepime, and micafungin. she developed a diffuse rash shortly after initiation of antibiotics. derm was consulted- performed biopsy which showed "intraepidermal vesicles and underlying linear track of ischemia with adjacent dermal inflammation with eosinophils". her rash was consistent with a drug eruption and cefepime was thought to be the culprit. cefepime was discontinued and patient was started on aztreonam (in addition to vancomycin). rash resolved shortly thereafter. the c. difficile antigen returned positive and she was started on flagyl. she was continued on antibiotics while neutropenic. antibiotics were discontinued as patient was afebrile and cultures remained negative. she again developed fevers on . cultures were drawn and grew back vre. patient was started on daptomycin and picc line was pulled. a central line (left ij) was placed after 48 hours. surveillance cultures were negative. daptomycin was continued until . upon discharge, she was no longer neutropenic and afebrile. ##. : likely due to uric acid stones and urate nephropathy, in additon to hydronephrosis due to external compression by retroperitoneal tumor. pt on cvvh during cytoxan treatment. renal function returned to baseline and remained stable off cvvh. ##. hematuria: patient began having hematuria after foley placement that worsened with initiation of cytoxan. she was also having bladder pain. she was started on continuous bladder irrigation for concern of hemorrhagic cystitis. hematuria eventually resolved as did pain. it seemed likely that patient passed uric acid stone. cbi was stopped and patient continued to make adequate urine. ##. tachycardia: on review of osh records pt has been persistently sinus tachycardic, likely related to her underlying lymphoma. she remained tachycardic (95-115) throughout her course here. she denied chest pain, palpitations, dizziness or syncope. ##. ?uti: pt was given iv ceftriaxone for ?uti however u/a was notable for several epi cells in addition to bacteria. no dysuria noted, urine appearance likely related to her . repeat urine cx neg x 2. pt was not further treated. ##. hypothyroidism: continued on home regimen of hypothyroidism. ##. anxiety- patient was quite anxious while here. it worsened after she received ifosphamide. standing clonazepam was added to her prn ativan ordered with good control of her anxiety. she was discharged on prn clonazepam but if anxiety is a problem in the future for her, she may need to be changed back to standing clonazepam. ##. fluid overload- patient received iv fluids with chemotherapy and became quite fluid-overloaded. weight was up to 210+ pounds with 3+ pitting edema in bilateral lower extremities. she received one-time doses of iv lasix and responded very well to them. she eventually began auto-diuresing and no longer required lasix. her weight on discharge was near 170 pounds with no signs of fluid overload on physical exam. medications

study: cta of the head and cta of the neck. clinical indication: 78-year-old man with history of thoracoabdominal aneurysm repair, rule out basilar infarct. comparison: prior mri of the head dated . technique: contiguous axial mdct images were obtained through the brain without contrast material. subsequently, rapid axial imaging was performed from the aortic arch through the brain during the infusion of omnipaque intravenous contrast material. images were then processed on a separate workstation with display of curved reformats, 3d volume-rendered images and maximum intensity projection images. findings: head ct: there is no evidence of acute intracranial hemorrhage, mass effect or shifting of the normally midline structures. vague areas of low attenuation are noted in the centrum semiovale, likely representing edema or areas of small vessel disease, previously demonstrated by mri of the brain on . the bone structures are grossly unremarkable. the patient is intubated. the orbits and mastoid air cells as well as the paranasal sinuses are grossly normal. head cta. there is vascular enhancement along the internal carotid arteries with no evidence of critical stenosis

graft from just after the left subclavian artery takeoff all the way down to the mid visceral bearing segment of the abdominal aorta using deep hypothermic circulatory arrest and a separate side branch to revascularize the celiac artery. the graft data is the following: vascutek gelweave graft, reference #,lot #, serial #. co-surgeons: ,m.d. and , m.d. cardiopulmonary bypass time: 144 minutes. the visceral ischemic time was 28 minutes. circulatory arrest time: 32 minutes. please see operative report for further surgical details. he was transferred intubated and sedated to the cvicu requiring pressor support, in critical condition. in summary: he had a very complicated postoperative course due to cerebral and spinal infarcts with scans showing multiple areas of slow diffusion, predominantly in left parietal and occipital lobe concerning for sub-acute infarcts, paraplegia, s. marascens bacteremia with presumed graft infection, vap and post-op wound infection at the back of the thoracotomy site with coag negative staph. the patient had remained intubated until pod#1. rn, mr. never followed commands for her and noted a change with the lack of gross motor movement of his extremities. he was noted not to be moving the lower extremities, and had asymmetry in the exam of the arms, along with mental status changes after transient episode of hypotension/ atrial arrhythmia and shocks necessitated. he was reintubated. mri brain and spine performed. mri of brain showed no significant ischemic changes to explain such a poor mentation. neurology was consulted and felt imaging findings are consistent with multiple brain infarcts (left > right) and cord infarction; likely attributed to perioperative hypotension and aortic manipulations. eeg negative. anticoagulation was not initially started. however, after his continued paroxysmal afib, and neuro event, coumadin was ultimately initiated. the patient remains with afluent aphasia and paraplegic. mr. was taken to the operating room for trach and peg placement on with dr.. mr. postoperative course continued to get more complicated when he became bacteremic. id was consulted. broad spectrum antibiotics were initiated. cultures revealed e coli uti, serratia pna and s. marascens bacteremia. pod 15 from initial ta aaa repair now with ischemic eschar around the inferior portion of the wound. general surgery and plastics was consulted. it was suspected that the latissimus was perforated below the area of eschar. due to the perigraft and surrounding intrathoracic inflammatory changes and fluid evident, all teams agreed that debridement was required. on mr. debridement of open wound left scapular region with debridement of muscle, subcutaneous tissue, and skin; latissimus flap reconstruction. please see operative report for further details. the patient had a flexiseal in place for several days in the setting of his critical illness. hematochezia became evident. gi and acs was consulted. the patient was scoped by gi who visualized active rectal bleeding and was concerned for perforation on anoscopy likely secondary to flexi-seal s/p packing, seemingly with hemostasis.hematocrits remain stable. mr. began to slowly improve. id signed off after recommending: antibiotics for wound infection: would continue vanco/flagyl for 2 weeks from day of debridement (),for serratia aaa graft infection: plan to continue cipro iv for 4 weeks for presumed serratia endovascular infection (). and will require life long suppression with cipro po after this given presence of graft. speech and swallow had been consulted and following throughout mr. course. he remains npo with continued nutrition, hydration and medication via the peg in place. he was fitted for a passy muir valve. he weaned to trach collar and pmv during the day hours and is rested overnight on cpap. after a complicated course from his initial emergent repair of ruptured thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysm, mr. has made slow progress. on the day of his discharge to rehab on , he remains paraplegic, anticoagulated for paf/cva, with a jp drain and sutures intact s/p thoracoabdominal debridement. he is completing his

patient was admitted to the osh with a severe rash, nausea, vomiting, and hypotension on . prior to this she was being treated for a l toe infection, which ultimately was treated with a toe amputation by podiatry at the osh. the rash and other symptoms were thought to be due to antibiotics, presumably cephalosporins or penicillin. the patient was also noted to be in arf with a cr of 3. st changes were noted on ekg and her troponin was elevated following a run of af with rvr. she was then transferred to . on arrival here, she had pressures as low as 60/40. a pac was placed and showed a distributive shock-like picture with a low svr. she was treated with pressors, including neosynephrine and levophed. she was weaned off of these in the last 24 hours. she is now in sinus without recent af on bb's. an echo was performed on , which was positive for wma's and a lvef of 35%, however this appeared to be from an old infarct per the ccu team. her troponins peaked at .88 and have since been trending down, currently 0.4 on am labs. her arf is also resolving, with a cr of 1.3 this am. this morning the patient awoke around 8am with sharp, constant epigastric pain. she rated the

normally (lvef = 35 %). no masses or thrombi are seen in the left ventricle. there is a mild resting left ventricular outflow tract obstruction. right ventricular chamber size and free wall motion are normal. the aortic valve leaflets (3) appear structurally normal with good leaflet excursion and no aortic regurgitation. the mitral valve appears structurally normal with trivial mitral regurgitation. there is no mitral valve prolapse. the pulmonary artery systolic pressure could not be determined. there is a trivial/physiologic pericardial effusion. impression: mild symmetric left ventricular hypertrophy with mild resting lvot gradient and moderate regional systolic dysfunction c/w cad (mid-lad distribution). clinical implications: based on aha endocarditis prophylaxis recommendations, the echo findings indicate prophylaxis is not recommended . radiology report liver or gallbladder us (single organ) port study date of 10:17 am provisional findings impression: rsrc wed 1:11 pm pfi: study limited due to patient body habitus and increased hepatic echogenicity. pericholecystic, hyperechoic foci are most consistent with fat. however, if patient's symptoms continue or there is concern for emphysematous cholecystitis, ct scan would be more useful. right upper quadrant ultrasound: the liver is diffusely increased in echogenicity, a finding that is most often consistent with fatty infiltration of the liver due to obesity or other causes. however, fibrosis and/or cirrhosis cannot be excluded given this appearance. in this setting, sensitivity for focal liver lesion is markedly decreased. additionally, evaluation of the gallbladder is difficult due to poor beam penetration. the gallbladder measures 3.6 cm in maximal transverse dimension, which is at the upper limits of normal. a few foci of hyperechogenicity at the periphery of the gallbladder most likely represent pericholecystic fat. however, pericholecystic gas cannot be excluded. impression: markedly limited study. likely foci of fat at gallbladder periphery; however, air cannot be excluded. if the patient's symptoms continue and there is concern for emphysematous cholecystitis, ct examination would be more useful. . radiology report ct pelvis w&w/o c study date of 5:46 pm impression: 1. mild-to-moderate amount of pneumoperitoneum with wall edema and some surrounding inflammatory changes surrounding the region of the duodenal bulb most suggestive of a perforated duodenal ulcer. urgent surgical consultation is recommended. mild-to-moderate amount of simple free

as described above. 4. trace right pleural effusion. . brief hospital course: this is a 47 year old female who woke early this morning around 8am with sharp, constant epigastric pain. she rated the pain as and has not increased throughout the day. imaging: ct a/p: mild-to-moderate pneumoperitoneum with ct findings suggestive of probable perforated duodenal ulcer. she had mild to moderate peritonitis and free air on imaging, likely anterior perforation of duodenum secondary to stress ulceration vs nsaid use. she is currently hemodynamically stable and non-toxic appearing at this time. heparin gtt was stopped at 7pm, therefore we will take her to the operating room at approximately 10pm. she of moderate risk from a cardiac standpoint, although the ccu team does not feel her recent issues can be explained by an acute cardiac event, despite her troponin elevation and st changes. in the mean time, please add fluconazole to the current antibiotics regimen of vanc, cipro, flagyl.

with ventricular and supraventricular premature depolarizations. left axis deviation. possible left ventricular hypertrophy. possible left anterior fascicular block. diffuse non-diagnostic repolarization abnormalities. compared to the previous tracing of there is no diagnostic change. . imaging: cxr : ap erect and lateral views of the chest: little change in right basilar opacity at the cardiophrenic angle and left base is consistent with atelectasis. there is no pleural effusion or pneumothorax. the heart size is normal. aorta is slightly unfolded, but the mediastinal silhouette is otherwise unremarkable. hilar contours and pulmonary vasculature are unremarkable. impression: no acute intrathoracic abnormality. . mri head : findings: there is a very large left cerebral hemispheric mixed t1 and t2 signal intensity subdural hemorrhage effacing the left cerebral hemispheric sulci, but causing, at most only a mm of rightward subfalcine herniation. the signal pattern of the subdural hemorrhage suggests a prominent area of acute bleeding, located posterior to the coronal suture. on the axial flair images, there may be a very thin right frontal subdural hemorrhage, without overt mass effect. there are a few small areas of restricted diffusion within the left parietal lobe subcortical region, subjacent to the acute hemorrhagic component of the subdural hemorrhage. this finding could indicate acute brain ischemia. there are very extensive areas of high t2 signal within the white matter of both cerebral hemispheres, consistent with chronic small vessel infarction. the principal vascular flow patterns are identified. there is moderate bilateral maxillary and prominent bilateral ethmoid sinus, as well as mild frontal sinus and sphenoid sinus mucosal thickening, all consistent with an ongoing inflammatory process. conclusion: large left cerebral convexity subdural hemorrhage, which has developed since the prior head ct scan. dr. has already contact the requesting physician, her of these findings, as well as other is noted in the above report. dr. indicated that emergency neurosurgical consultation is mandated. please see above report for additional findings. . ct head : findings: there is confirmation of the presence of a large left cerebral convexity subdural hemorrhage, with verification of the acute components of this hemorrhage positioned posterior to the left coronal suture. there is negligible subfalcine herniation, but likely mild effacement of the left lateral ventricle. low-density zones within the left basal ganglia, and to a lesser extent the periventricular white matter of the cerebral hemispheres again reflect chronic small-vessel infarction. there is prominent atherosclerotic calcification of the cavernous internal carotid arteries, and to a lesser extent the distal left vertebral artery at the level of the foramen magnum. conclusion: large left cerebral convexity subdural hemorrhage, including some acute components. once again, emergency neurosurgical consultation is mandated. . ct head pm: prelim: no evidence of tonsillar (or any other) herniation . ct head w/o contrast status post left frontoparietal craniotomy and subdural hematoma evacuation, expected frontal pneumocephalus is visualized with a draining tube in place, persistent effacement of the sulci with no evidence of shifting or deviation of the midline structures. mild residual subdural blood is identified at the left parietal convexity, contiguous followup is recommended. brief hospital course: mr. is an 86 yo m with past medical history significant for afib on coumadin, cad, dm2, htn, h/o of cva and recent pneumonia who presents with feeling "lousy" and right-handed weakness. . #. generalized weakness: the onset of symptoms was initially unclear at patient's initial presentation. he appeared slightly volume-depleted, and was noted to have been taking in poor pos due to poor appetite. he was given iv fluids overnight after admission, and his cr improved. per information from caretakers at his facility, the right hand weakness was new but of uncertain onset. they stated that he had generally looked unwell since returning from the hospital on and had mostly stayed in his room. on exam, he had actually good strength, but difficulty with specific motor movements in the hand. pt and ot were consulted and saw the patient on . there was concern of delirium versus subacute stroke for the cause. tsh and b12 were normal. his blood sugars were controlled with an insulin sliding scale. the decision was made to do an mri of his head. this was completed by early morning of , and was significant for large l subdural hematoma (see below). . # subdural hematoma: found on mri . patient without history of falls or head trauma; had been on coumadin for some time given atrial fibrillation. inr on admission was elevated, so coumadin was initially held. it was re-started on , and held again on . after the finding of sdh, a stat ct head was performed which demonstrated both old and new areas of bleeding. a neurosurgery consult was called. he was given 10 mg vitamin k and 2 units of ffp. q 4 neuro checks and telemetry monitoring were initiated. he was started on keppra 500 and prednisone 40 mg daily. a final read of the mri was also notable for acute to subacute strokes in the l parietal lobe. a neurology consult was called as well, and their recommendations were similar. the patient was noted to have periodic bradycardic events to the 30s as well as bps to 130-140/90s, and given concern for worsened bleeding, a stat head ct was performed. this demonstrated no evidence of herniation. at this point the decision was made to transfer the patient to the neurosurgery service and the step-down unit on 11. . .. . . #. community-acquired pneumonia: the patient had completed a 5 day course of levofloxacin. his symptoms and cxr seemed to be improving, so he was not given any further antibiotics. he was given a cough suppressant as needed. . #. acute renal failure: on admission, the patient had a creatinine of 1.3 from a baseline creatinine of around 1.0. this was felt to be likely secondary to pre-renal causes. he was given iv fluids, and his creatinine gradually came back down to 1.0. his hctz was held and the decision to re-start can be re-considered as an outpatient. . #. atrial fibrillation: chads2 score 5. on admission, the patient was being treated with warfarin with an inr goal of .5 per records. warfarin was held, then restarted, then held again for supratherapeutic inrs. following the discovery of the subdural, it was stopped and his anticoagulation was reversed. aspirin was also stopped. . #. coronary artery disease: the patient is s/p mi in past. he did not have any ischemic signs or symptoms on admission or throughout his hospitalization. he was initially continued on aspirin, imdur, atorvastatin and hctz was stopped. later aspirin stopped. he had negative troponins and cks upon presentation. his ekg was at baseline. . #. diabetes mellitus type ii: given the concern that the patient had low blood sugars on his electrolyte panels in the ed, and may have been taking his home medications incorrectly, these were held on admission, and he was placed on an insulin sliding scale. . #. erythrodermic ctcl (mycosis fungoides): the patient is followed by hematology. as an outpatient, he is on methotrexate therapy. following discussion with the nurse practitioner working with his heme/onc doctor, his methotrexate was held during this admission given his other medical concerns. he should follow up with this provider as an outpatient. patient was readmitted s/p presenting feeling "lousy". he was found to have a l acute on chronic sdh. he has a history of a-fib and was on coumadin at presentation. patient was taken to the or for evacuation of l sdh on . post operatively patient appeared to have a r droop presumed to be from weakness and r side weakness. he was also observed to have episodes of bradycardia where cardiology was consulted. there recs were to continue care currently, restart coumadin when able, and follow up with cardiology as an out patient. on , patient was alert and oriented x2 and rue deltoid, biceps/triceps and full strength on l side. his subdural drain was removed and he was transferred to the floor. on , patient was accessed by pt was it was determined that he was safe to go to rehab. patient continues to be alert and oriented x 3 with prompting, moving all extremities, some r deltoid weakness 3/5. incision is clean, dry and intact with staples in place. medications on admission: atorvastatin 80 mg po hs fexofenadine 60 mg po bid as needed for rhinorrhea. folic acid 1 mg po

imaged portion of the lower neck, superior mediastinum, throughout the intrathoracic mediastinum, bilateral hila, and to a lesser extent within the axillary regions. large right pleural effusion is dependent in location and measures simple fluid density. a small amount of loculated fluid is also present within the major fissure and in the anterolateral portion of the right lower chest. extensive consolidation is present within the right lower and right middle lobes. peribronchiolar abnormalities are present in both upper lobes with a combination of ground glass and consolidation accompanied by bronchial wall thickening and small peribronchial nodules. a dominant peribronchial nodule in the left upper lobe measures 2.2 cm and is surrounded by a halo of ground-glass opacity (26, series 3a). this corresponds to a rapidly growing focal opacity on serial chest x-rays between and . additional peribronchiolar abnormalities are present to a lesser extent within the left lower lobe. exam was not tailored to evaluate the subdiaphragmatic region, but note is made of retroperitoneal or intra-abdominal lymphadenopathy as well as incompletely imaged splenomegaly. lucent spine lesions within the lower thoracic spine (image 53, series 3a and image 48, series 3a) are probably hemangiomas. degenerative changes are also noted at multiple levels throughout the spine. impression: 1. multifocal lung abnormalities most suggestive of a widespread infectious process. nodular opacity with ground-glass halo in left upper lobe is nonspecific, but this appearance may be associated with angioinvasive aspergillus infection in the setting of neutropenic fever. 2. large simple right pleural effusion. 3. extensive lymphadenopathy, likely related to the provided history of cll. splenomegaly is also in keeping with this diagnosis. 4. two lucent thoracic vertebral body lesions in the lower thoracic spine which probably reflect hemangiomas. . tte the left atrium is normal in size. no atrial septal defect is seen by 2d or color doppler. the estimated right atrial pressure is 0-10mmhg. left ventricular wall thickness, cavity size and regional/global systolic function are

less prominent imaging: ct c-spine : conclusion: 1. deformity of the anteroinferior body of c2 with a well-corticated bony fragment projected anteriorly suggestive of an old injury. 2. there is apparent asymmetry in the distance between the odontoid and the lateral masses of c1 which may be due to rotatory subluxation versus positional and can be imaged further as per clinical need. 3. fracture through the right lateral transverse process of t1 which has the appearance of subacute/chronic injury. 4. multilevel degenerative changes in the cervical spine with most significant disc narrowing at c6-7. head ct : 18-mm left subdural hematoma with mass effect and midline shift towards the right of approximately 11 mm. acute hemorrhage is also seen in the left sylvian fissure as well as the right thalamus and fourth ventricle. there is subfalcine and subtentorial herniation with loss of -white matter differentiation suggesting raised intracranial pressure. ct chest, abdomen, pelvis : impression: 1. comminuted fracture of the distal right clavicle and would recommend dedicated films to further evaluate. multiple nondisplaced chronic-appearing rib fractures. 2. filling defect within the right portal vein, which could represent non- occlusive thrombus and would recommend ultrasound evaluation to further evaluate. there is an ivc filter present within the ivc, which is infrarenal. there are right-sided dependent lung consolidations which could represent aspiration or lung contusion. there is a small right apical pneumothorax and right apical blebs. 3. there is an endotracheal tube present in satisfactory position. 4. there is diffuse fatty liver. 5. the right testicle is high within the inguinal canal and could be related to patient's trauma. head ct (post-surgery): impression: 1. reduction in size of large left convexity subdural hematoma with decreased mass effect and decreased rightward subfalcine herniation as described. persistent rightward uncal herniation noted. 2. right thalamic and potential right midbrain small intraparenchymal hemorrhages. 3. persistent enlargement of the right lateral ventricle with transependymal resorption of csf noted. lenis :impression: non-occlusive thrombosis of the right common femoral vein. head ct : impression: 1. interval decrease in size of left subdural hematoma, associated midline shift and mass effect and resolution of left uncal herniation. 2. left temporal hypodensity may relate to evolving infarction. continued attention on followup studies is recommended. 3. thalamic and brainstem hemorrhages appear stable. ct head w/o contrast final report impression: 1. no new intracranial hemorrhage or significant changes since prior scan. 2. mild improvement in rightward midline shift from 3 mm to 2 mm. hypodensity seen within the right thalamus consistent with evolution of previously noted hemorrhage in this area. eeg impression: abnormal portable eeg due to the right fronto-central slowing and due to the relatively monotonous mildly slow background throughout. the first abnormality suggests a focal subcortical dysfunction in the left anterior quadrant. the tracing cannot specify the etiology. nevertheless, there were no clearly epileptiform features there or elsewhere. the widespread 7 hz rhythm suggests a widespread encephalopathy, with a regularity raising the possibility of medication effect. head ct impression: 1. patient is status post cranioplasty. hyperdense area adjacent to the left frontal lobe in subdural location that is likely secondary to post- operative changes, however, cannot exclude small amount of subdural hemorrhage. possible mild cerebrale dema without shift of midline structures, likely due to post-surgical changes. recommend close followup as clinically indicated. expected post- operative changes with pneumocephalus, extra-axial air, and soft tissue swelling. head ct impression: interval decrease in size of fluid collection, with decrease in mass effect upon left frontal hemisphere. associated decrease in left to right shift of midline structures. persistent edema and mass effect. hypodensities both occipital lobes are unchanged. head ct mpression: 1. stable appearance of a small left frontal epidural fluid collection with mild mass effect upon the left frontal hemisphere. no new foci of hemorrhage are identified. 2. low attenuation subgaleal fluid collection at the cranioplasty site which could relate to postoperative change, although its persistence raises the possibility of a csf leak. clinical correlation is

an left sided acute subdural with significant mid line shift and mass effect. on exam he was extensor posturing and had significant anisicoria. he was brought to the operating room for emergent decompression via left hemicraniectomy. he was maintained in a cervical collar during his stay. he was placed on dilantin for sz prophylaxis and later transitioned to keppra as his serum levels were difficult to keep in the therapeutic range. social work eval revealed that he is known to the system. there was no family available for consents. it was noted that the pt had an alcohol like odor on his breath on admission - he was placed on a ciwa scale. the legal department was contact for guardianship. inital eval revealed that 1. pt had ivcf (infrarenal)previously placed, 2. small right apical pneumothorax, 3. filling defect in right portal vein may represent non occlusive thrombus, 4. comminuted proximal right clavicular fracture, 5. right lung dependent consolidations could be aspiration or contusion injury, 6.right testicle high in canal could be result of trauma, 7.distended bladder. he remained intubated postoperatively and an oral-gastric tube was placed. a small amount of coffee ground drainage was noted that evolved to be bilious in nature without further concern. his hematocrit did drop during the hospitalization and the surgical icu determined that this was enamia of chronic disease. his serial exams showed some improvement, he was localizing with his right upper extremity, there was also some spontaneous movement on the right side. significant lue weakenss is noted. post operatvie ct scan was stable. he had a a subdural drain in place that was removed on day #1. a temp spike to 102.1 occurred on and fever workup was initiated - it revealed that he had citrobacter in the sputum and treated with cipro for this. x 2 weeks. urine and blood cultures at that time were negative. serial cxr's for the right apical pneumothorax showed spontaneous resolution of this-he did not require a chest tube. his incision remained clean and dry - his staples were removed on # 10. laboratory values on #13 revealed thrombocytosis (1,000) - aspirin was started for this. this has since resolved. a trial of extubation was initiated. he was re-intubated later that same day. cervical collar was cleared by dr. on . guardianship was obtained by the court and trach and peg were performed at the bedside that day. pt did have an episode of bradycardia after this procedure which was successfully treated with atropine. he was cleared for transferred out of the icu but did require neuro stepdown unit due to amount of suctioning needed. he went to the or for cranioplasty, he tolerated this procedure well and returned to step down. his neuro exam showed that he followed commands at times on the right upper and bilat lower extremities. he remained weak on the left upper and non-verbal. on pt developed a subgaleal collection on l side of head which was subsequently drained 4 times and head wrap most recently on with improvement. pt has moderate amounts of secretions, however has a strong cough and negative sputum samples. he is afebrile and remains hemodynamically stable. case manager assisted with long term placement. medications on admission: unknown discharge medications: 1. docusate sodium oral 2. insulin regular human 100 unit/ml solution :

compared to four days prior. brief hospital course: the patient was admitted to the general surgical service for evaluation and treatment of his hypotension, tachycardia, and fever on . upon admission, a full set of laboratory tests including cbc, bmp, blood and urine cultures, lactate, arterial blood gas, and lfts were sent. a chest x-ray was also obtained. results of these studies may be found in the 'pertinent results' section above. the patient was started empirically on iv antibiotics (vancomycin and zosyn). he was given a clear liquid diet, and provided iv fluid rehydration as well. his picc line was not used, while evaluation for a source of bactermia was in progress. on hospital day #1 (), he no longer had any fevers. he tolerated a regular diet, and was having bowel movements. he was continued on vancomycin and zosyn. he ambulated regularly. he was urinating normally. he was not given tpn, and his picc line was used only for the administration of antibiotics. he was given tylenol and ibuprofen for his back pain. on hospital day #2 (), he continued to be afebrile, and tolerating diet. he continued to ambulate and have bowel movements. he was continued on vancomycin and zosyn. tpn continued to be held. on hospital day #3 (), the medical and infectious disease teams were consulted. due to sbp 110s and hr 60s-70s, his beta blockers were discontinued. he continued to be aggressively hydrated with iv fluids, and given vancomycin and zosyn. tpn continued to be held. on this day, he was returned to a clear liquid diet, which he tolerated well. on hospital day #4 (), a luq ultrasound was performed, which revealed a small increase in size of pseudocyst, and new intrahepatic and extrahepatic biliary ductal dilatation, with no choledocholithiasis, as well as known cholelithiasis. on this day, tpn was restarted. further evaluation led to the determination that surgery would likely be the optimal course of management for this patient. he was scheduled for an open cholecystectomy, drainage of pseudocyst, and pancreatic debridement the upcoming thursday. a ct scan without contrast was also obtained. on hospital day #5 (): a foley catheter was placed on this day for optimal input/output measurements. tpn was continued. due to an episode of questionable altered mental status, a full exam, full labs, including fingerstick, as well as immediate abg were performed, all of which were normal. the patient was continued on antibiotics (vancomycin and zosyn). an ngt was placed secondary to severe distension and bloating. on hospital day #6 (): the patient was taken to ir for percutaneous drainage of abdominal collection, and placement of a drainage catheter. antibiotics were changed to include only zosyn at this time. a drain was successfully placed by ir, and drained a large amount of brown liquid (see attached report in 'pertinent results' section). the patient tolerated the procedure well, but became increasingly agitated immediately thereafter. an abg was collected, which was normal, and due to persistent severe agitation, the patient was transferred to the sicu for further care. on hospital day #7 (): the patient was intubated and placed on a ventillator (cpap/ps setting) due to continued severe agitation and respiratory distress. foley was maintained, and antibiotics were continued, although changed from zosyn, to meropenem. the patient was continued on tpn, ivf, and remained otherwise npo. in the evening of this day, the patient's picc line was discontinued, and catheter tip was sent for culture. iv fluids were continued, and the patient remained intubated. foley catheter was maintained. -intestinal tube was placed by interventional radiology. vancomycin was added to the patient's antibiotic regimen, which including meropenem as well. on hospital day #8 (): the patient remained intubated/sedated, on ivf, with a foley catheter, with antibiotics (vancomycin and meropenem) running. on hospital day #9 (): the patient remained intubated/sedated, on ivf, with a foley cathter, and antibiotics running. an attempt was made at extubation, but the patient required re-intubation after only 2 hours due to respiratory distress and agitation. on this day, upon the return of bal cultures growing e.coli, and abscess cultures growing pan-sensitive citrobacter, the patient's antibiotics were changed to ceftriaxone and flagyl. on hospital day #10 (): the patient's abdominal drain was noted to be entirely outside the abdomen, not in appropriate position. a ct scan was obtained, results noted in the 'pertinent results' section. the patient was scheduled to have ir placement of a 12-french drain in his pseudocyst, and a second drain placed in his abdominal collections, as well as advancement of his nj tube by fluoroscopy, on . his antibiotics were continued, and he remained intubated/sedated, with a foley catheter, on ivf. the patient underwent the placement of the external percutaneous drainage catheter. he decompensated while in radiology department. patient developed confusion, altered mental status, was transferred to the icu where he was semi-electively intubated the same day for again altered mental status and tachypnea. he was found to have likely aspiration pneumonia. on hospital day #15 the patient continued to be edematous and anasarctic. he had a very firm abdomen on exam and elevated bladder pressures in the high 20's and a peep in the low 30's. due to concern for intra-abdominal hypertension, the patient was taken urgently for exploratory laparotomy, pancreatic debridement involving resection of pancreatic neck, body, and tail, with placement of large drains, and a cholecystectomy. post operatively, he required intensive supportive care in the icu. due to the continued need for ventilatory support, he had a percutaneously placed tracheostomy. throughout his stay in the icu, the patient required varying degrees of pressors and sedation. on , citrobacter freundii complex and enterococcus faecium were isolated from his peritoneal, on , klebsiella & pseudomonas were isolated in his sputum cultures, and on , yeast was isolated in his urine cultures. he was treated with a multitude of antibiotics: vancomycin micafungin (8-20-8/21) tigecycline,meropenem () the patient required aggressive suctioning for thick secretions. on 9/ 13, the patient was

antibody test (pending): . ecg: sinus tachycardia. no previous tracing available for comparison. . cxr (pa and lat): comparison: none. findings: there is increased opacity in the region of the right middle/lower lobe. the left lung is clear. no pneumothorax or pleural effusion is present. cardiac silhouette is top normal in size. hilar and mediastinal contours appear normal. impression: developing right middle/lower lobe opacity concerning for infection. . tte: the left atrium is elongated. no atrial septal defect is seen by 2d or color doppler. the estimated right atrial pressure is 0-10mmhg. left ventricular wall thicknesses and cavity size are normal. regional left ventricular wall motion is normal. overall left ventricular systolic function is low normal (lvef 50-55%). tissue doppler imaging suggests a normal left ventricular filling pressure (pcwp<12mmhg). the right ventricular cavity is mildly dilated with borderline normal free wall function. the diameters of aorta at the sinus, ascending and arch levels are normal. the aortic valve leaflets (3) appear structurally normal with good leaflet excursion and no aortic regurgitation. no masses or vegetations are seen on the aortic valve. the mitral valve appears structurally normal with trivial mitral regurgitation. no mass or vegetation is seen on the mitral valve. there is mild pulmonary artery systolic hypertension. there is no pericardial effusion. impression: low normal biventricular systolic function. mild right ventricular dilation. no vegetation seen. . cxr (portable): there is minimal interval progression of the interstitial prominence, findings that might be consistent with volume overload, especially given the distention of the azygos vein. the right lower lung opacity adjacent to the right cardiac border may be a part of the volume overload but it may represent focus of developing infection as well, and should be reevaluated after diuresis. the heart size is top normal which in part may be explained by the portable technique of the study. there is no pneumothorax. there is small amount of right pleural effusion present, better appreciated on the current study. impression: volume overload/mild interstitial pulmonary edema. those findings may potentially mask underlying infection and reevaluation of the patient after diuresis is highly recommended. . ct abd/pelvis w/contrast: ct abdomen: there are bilateral small nonhemorrhagic pleural effusions, with associated compressive atelectasis, right greater than left. interlobular septal thickening is also present, suggestive of volume overload. the heart is normal in size without pericardial effusion. the liver demonstrates no focal lesion. the gallbladder, spleen, a tiny splenule, pancreas, and adrenal glands appear unremarkable. bilateral kidneys enhance symmetrically without hydronephrosis or hydroureter. stomach, duodenum, small and large bowel loops are normal in caliber. there is no free air or free fluid. there is no mesenteric or retroperitoneal lymphadenopathy. great vessels are normal in caliber and patent. ct pelvis: the bladder is partially collapsed. the distal ureters, prostate gland, and rectum appear unremarkable. there is contrast progression into the transverse colon. there is no inguinal or pelvic lymphadenopathy. there is no free fluid within the pelvis. bone window: a bone island is noted in the right femoral head. no suspicious focal, lytic, or blastic lesions. impression: 1. pulmonary interlobular septal thickening and small bilateral pleural effusions with associated compressive atelectasis, right greater than left. these findings are suggestive of volume overload. 2. no evidence of acute process within the abdomen or pelvis. brief hospital course: micu course 27 y/o male with history of polysubstance abuse and msm who presents with fevers, chills, abdominal pain after shooting oxycontin with toilet water followed by a large amount of alcohol intake. # fevers, rigors, chest pain - the most concerning etiology was from infection after injection with toilet water, most likely bacteria include gnr and gpc, however, the timing of supposed injection of contaminated water and presentation of fever and chills was not consistent with ~24-36 hours in between events. the patient was started on vancomycin, zosyn, and levaquin to cover for gpc, gnr, atypicals, and anaerobes. his serum tox screen negative but urine tox screen positive for methadone. a tte was ordered to evaluate for any evidence of endocarditis, with a tee planned if the patient had positive blood cultures or was persistently febrile. the tte was negative, as was a ct abd/pelvis. the patient left ama with a rising white count. cultures were pending at the time the patient left ama. . # shortness of breath - this was thought to be secondary to bronchospasm from multiple possible etiologies including aspiration, asthma, septic emboli, pulmonary edema. a cxr showed evidence of pulmonary edema or early pneumonia. the patient was responsive to albuterol, which resolved his sob. he also auto-diuresed well and lasix was held for only if the patient became hypoxic or short of breath again. he left ama. . # leukopenia - the patient presented with a wbc of 1, which increased to 11 on repeat labs. the low wbc was concerning for hiv infection or sepsis. hiv serologies and viral load testing was sent (serologies negative and viral load pending). patient left with leukocytosis ama. . # abdominal pain - amylase and lipase were negative on admission. a ct a/p with po/iv contrast was obtained which did not show concerns for acute intraabdominal process. the patient's pain had resolved when he left ama. . # renal failure - unknown if this is acute or chronic as a baseline is unknown. the patient received n-ac and bicarb fluid hydration prior to his ct scan. cr had decreased to 1.1 from 1.4 at time of leaving ama. . # coagulopathy - patient has elevated inr. differential includes chronic liver disease, vitamin k deficiency. his lfts were trended and a hepatitis panel for a, b, and c was sent and returned without evidence of infection. . # alcohol abuse - patient reports intake of ~1 pint alchol daily, but denies history of withdrawal symptoms, including dts. he was started on valium for ciwa > 10. he left ama. . #opioid withdrawal - patient started on scale and given 10mg methadone for a score of 17. his symptoms improved and he was not given additional methadone in the micu. he received methadone on the floor and left ama. . # electrolytes - patient was hypophosphatemic and hypomagnesemic. differential included alcohol intake, poor po, chronic liver disease, legionella. he was repleted and his lytes were trended. . # the patient left ama despite being warned about rising white count while on broad-spectrum antibiotics raising concern for serious infection that may cause severe illness or death. he was able to understand and communicate these risks. he left ama. medications on admission: abilify 5mg trazodone 100mg clonidine 0.1 mg discharge medications: n/a discharge disposition: home discharge diagnosis: primary diagnosis: etoh and oxycontin abuse/withdrawal, right arm soft tissue infection, discharge condition: the patient left ama with a rising leukocytosis on broad spectrum antibiotics. he was instructed that by leaving ama he was placing himself at risk for severe illness and death. he communicated that he understood these risks and would leave ama regardless of the risk of death. discharge

( ) echo the left atrium is normal in size. no atrial septal defect is seen by 2d or color doppler. left ventricular wall thickness, cavity size, and global systolic function are normal (lvef>55%). due to suboptimal technical quality, a focal wall motion abnormality cannot be fully excluded. there is no ventricular septal defect. right ventricular chamber size and free wall motion are normal. the aortic root is mildly dilated at the sinus level. the aortic valve leaflets (3) are mildly thickened but aortic stenosis is not present. no aortic regurgitation is seen. the mitral valve leaflets are mildly thickened. trivial mitral regurgitation is seen. the estimated pulmonary artery systolic pressure is normal. there is no pericardial effusion. ct head 1. increase in the right inferior frontal intraparenchymal hemorrhage with mild increase in the leftward shift of the midline structures. 2. increase in the conspicuity of the subarachnoid hemorrhage in the left frontal and parietal lobes. persistent mass effect on the right lateral ventricle with mild increase in the leftward shift of the midline structures. 3. other details as above. please see the prior ct head study for details regarding the osseous structures. 4. unchanged appearance of the scalp soft tissue swelling, on the left side. mri c-spine : impression: 1. multilevel neural foramen narrowing as above. 2. posterior disc bulge at c6-c7 and c7-t1 levels without impingement on the cord or central canal stenosis. 3. incidental note is made of blood within the left cerebellar cistern. ct head : impression: re-demonstration of multifocal intracranial subdural, intraparenchymal, and subarachnoid hemorrhage. there is no new hemorrhage identified. right subarachnoid hemorrhage is somewhat less conspicuous than on prior study. there is continued mass effect upon the right lateral ventricle, and associated rightward shift of midline structures, again measuring approximately 1 cm. small amount of intraventricular blood is again identified in the occipital of the left lateral ventricle. there is no new hemorrhage or increased mass effect identified. lenis : conclusion: no evidence of dvt in the right or left lower extremity. cta chest : impression: 1. right upper lobe pneumonia. 2. no central pulmonary embolism. limited distal branch evaluation due to respiratory motion artifact. in a single posterior segment right upper lobe pulmonary artery, there is suggestion of a filling defect, although this opacity overlaps with adjacent airspace disease, and may be artifactual. brief hospital course: mr. was admitted to on . he was intubated and taken to the icu with q1hr neuro checks. ct imaging showed worsening hemorrhage. platelets were goiven for history of aspirin use. e was on dilantin for seizure prophylaxis. mri c-spine was performed on . he was see by orthopedics who recommended an air cast for his ankle. serial ct's remained stable. dr. cleared his cervical collar on . he was weaned toward extubation. repeat head ct on was stable. his mannitol was held due to na/osm parameters. he failed speech and swallow evaluation at the bedside and a dobhoff was placed. on his mannitol was discontinued. his foley was discontinued. he was transferred to the step down unit. his dilantin dose was increased for a corrected level of 6.1. the patient had tachypnea overnight but his oxygen saturation remained within normal limits. his neuro exam remained stable. during the day on his tachypnea became worse and his abg showed respiratory alkalosis. he continued to oxygenate well. lenis were negative for dvt. his rr went up to the 40s and he became more lethargic and stopped following commands. the repeat head ct was stable. he also spiked a fever of 102. due to suspicion of a pe and the tachypnea, he was transferred to the icu and had a chest cta on the way there. the cta was equivocal. the patient's head of bed was kept elevated and he had nasotracheal suctioning and he several mucus plugs were removed. he also had chest pt and his rr came down to the 20s. by his mental status improved and he was following commands again with the right side. additionally id was consulted to guide antibiotic managment for his pneumonia. a repeat speach and swallow evaluation was performed and unfortunately, he did not pass. therefore a general surgery consult was obtained. he was also transferred to the stepdown unit, where vancomycin increased to q8h. urine culture was negative from . sputum culture found to have normal flora. his dobhoff was replaced to restart tube feeds. peg was performed on to bridge his nutrition during his recovery. post-operatively, he was tachypneic and reintubated for respiratory managment. he was then transferred back to the icu. after being placed on cpap, his respiratory status improved, as it was thought his tachypnea was due to atelactasis and/or mucous plugs. a nchct was again performed; revealing persistant right acute on chronic sdh and evolving right frontal contusion. it was decided to take him to the operating room on to evacuate the right sdh to optimize his recovery. however, it was noted on morning rounds on , that he has much improved clinically(following commands, moving all extremities); so the or case was cancelled. the patient's mental status remained stable and he was successfully extubated on . he continued to do well neurologically and he was breathing on room air with no difficulty. therefore he was transferred back to the neuro step down unit. he continued to work with pt and ot and was screened for rehab. he is stable neurosurgically and respiratory wise and will be discharged to rehab on . medications on admission: lopid magnesium calcium asa discharge medications: 1. acetaminophen 325 mg tablet sig: 1-2 tablets po q6h (every 6 hours) as needed for fever. 2. docusate sodium 50 mg/5 ml liquid sig: one (1) po bid (2 times a day). 3. bisacodyl 5 mg tablet, delayed release (e.c.) sig: two (2) tablet, delayed release (e.c.) po daily (daily) as needed for constipation. 4. senna 8.6 mg tablet sig: one (1) tablet po bid (2 times a day) as needed for constipation. 5. albuterol sulfate 2.5 mg /3 ml (0.083 %) solution for nebulization sig: inhalation q6h (every 6 hours) as needed for wheezing. 6. insulin regular human 100 unit/ml solution sig: one (1) injection asdir (as directed). 7. levetiracetam 500 mg tablet sig: two (2) tablet po bid (2 times a day). 8. famotidine 20 mg tablet sig: one (1) tablet po q12h (every 12 hours). 9. heparin (porcine) 5,000 unit/ml solution sig: one (1) injection tid (3 times a day). 10. metoprolol tartrate 25 mg tablet sig: 1.5 tablets po tid (3 times a day). 11. hydralazine 10 mg iv q4h:prn sbp>160 , hr<100 hold for sbp<100 12. metoclopramide 10 mg iv q6h:prn nausea discharge disposition: extended care facility: discharge diagnosis: subdural hematoma subarachnoid hemorrhage skull fracture cerebral contusion minimally displaced lateral malleolar fracture hospital acquired pneumonia respiratory failure dysphagia hyponatremia discharge condition: neurologically stable discharge instructions: general instructions ?????? take your pain medicine as prescribed. ?????? exercise should be limited to walking;

s/p left carotid stent placement on , htn, hl, dm2 who presents following an episode of dizziness followed by n/v/d and associated chest pain. he reports that he has been feeling well since his prior hospitalization with no recurrence of neurologic symptoms (initially had some right hand numbness/weakness which came and went). he felt well when he went to bed last night. on awakening this morning and turning over in bed, he felt extremely dizzy and like the room was spinning around. he turned back and his symptoms resolved after about 10 seconds. he then got out of bed and walked toward his kitchen to take his medications, but felt the sudedn onset of nausea and rushed to the bathroom where he proceeded to vomit for ~ one hour. he also had several episodes of "soft stool" during this period though stool was not liquidy. no blood in emesis or stool. he was diaphoretic during this time, and after about an hour of dry heaving began to develop chest pain located just above the manubrium to a severity of ~6.5/10. he also had an exacerbation of chronic left biceps pain radiating to his hand to severity and throbbing in quality. at this time, his wife called ems. he was ultimately able to take his morning medications and reports that though he had some dry heaving afterward he did not vomit his pills. the chest pain began to resolve on its own and was down to 1/10 prior to ems arrival. en route to the ed, he received a second 325 mg of aspirin and sublingual ng spray, following which the cp fully resolved. he did have persistence of the left arm pain, though less severe. . in the ed, initial vs were t 98.0, hr 130, bp 186/102 18 100% 4l nasal cannula. his arm pain improved with one dose of 4 mg iv morphine. labwork was significant for wbc of 17.8 with neutrophilic predominance on differential. cxr was notable for possible early rll pneumonia, for which he received 1 g iv vanco and 750 mg levofloxacin for hap given his recent hospitalization. ekg was unremarkable. vitals on transfer to the floor were hr 122, bp 179/85, rr 18, o2 sat 97% on 2l. he was admitted to medicine for treatment of pneumonia. . upon transfer to the floor, he reported feeling significantly improved. he has had no further vertigo, nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea/loose stool since arriving in the ed. he does not feel sob and denies fever, chills, night sweats, shortness of breath, cough, pleuritic chest pain or sputum production. no current cp or arm pain. past medical history: - hypertension (per record of home bps, generally runs sbp 130s-140s, hr

evaluation when patient able. tte: : pre-bypass: no spontaneous echo contrast or thrombus is seen in the body of the left atrium or left atrial appendage. no atrial septal defect is seen by 2d or color doppler. there is mild symmetric left ventricular hypertrophy. the left ventricular cavity is moderately dilated. overall left ventricular systolic function is mildly depressed (lvef= 45 %). there is mild basal and mid-inferoseptal wall hypokinesis. right ventricular chamber size and free wall motion are normal. there are simple atheroma in the ascending aorta. there are simple atheroma in the aortic arch. there are complex (>4mm) atheroma in the descending thoracic aorta. the aortic valve leaflets are moderately thickened. there is mild aortic valve stenosis (valve area 1.2-1.9cm2). mild (1+) aortic regurgitation is seen. the mitral valve leaflets are mildly thickened. mild (1+) mitral regurgitation is seen. dr. was notified in person of the results at time of surgery. post-bypass: the patient is av paced, on no inotropes. there is moderate hypokinesis of the basal and mid-inferoseptal and inferior wall of the left ventricle. left ventricular systolic function is unchanged. right ventricular function is unchanged. mild aortic stenosis is unchanged. mild (1+) aortic regurgitation is unchanged. moderate (2+) mitral regurgitation is seen. the ascending aorta, aortic arch, and descending aorta are intact. . cardiac catheterization : 1) coronary angiography of this right-dominant system demonstrated significant left main and functional three vessel coronary artery disease. the lmca had 70% stenosis with severe damping. the lad had 60% distal stenosis with a d1 with 70% proximal stenosis. the lcx had 70% stenosis at the origin. the dominant rca had 99% proximal stenosis, 99% mid stenosis, and 99% distal stenosis with left to right collaterals. 2) limited resting hemodynamics revealed systemic arterial hypertension (161/72/113). 3) left

coronary calcifications. 2. multiple non-characteristic, partly calcified and partly non-calcified pulmonary nodules. several sub 5-mm ground-glass nodules. 3. part solid and part non-solid pulmonary nodule in the anterior aspects of the right lower lobe, with retractile behavior with regard to the major fissure. this nodule needs to be followed by ct in approximately six months from now. 4. minimal bilateral basal scarring, left more than right, with a minimal left pleural effusion. cxr : upright pa and lateral views of the chest show a decrease in the left pleural effusion. the abnormal contour is likely due to pleuralthickening seen on previous examinations. unchanged small right pleural effusion. heart size is large but unchanged. decrease in mediastinal size with no evidence for active bleeding. again seen are small calcified granulomas within the right mid lung. no pneumothorax. brief hospital course: as mentioned in the hpi, mr. presented to the ed with dizziness and chest pain. he was admitted and worked up. a repeat troponin on the evening of the day of admission () was elevated at 0.34 and ck-mb was 39. the patient was placed on oxygen and administered a second dose of aspirin 325 mg. a cardiology consult was called. he was placed on telemetry and then transferred to the cardiology floor for cardiac catheterization. catheterization on demonstrated left main and functional three vessel disease. he was continued on a heparin drip, aspirin, clopidogrel, beta blocker, and statin in preparation for cabg. he was brought to the operating room on where he underwent an urgent coronary artery bypass graft x 3. overall the patient tolerated the procedure well and post-operatively was transferred to the cvicu in stable condition for recovery and invasive monitoring. he was intubated on propofol and neo. he had increase bloody ct drainage required multiple blood products, he ended up returning to the or for exploration. venous bleed was found and repaired. he returned to the icu and was hemodynamically stable. he was extubated that evening and was found to be alert and oriented and breathing comfortably. the patient remained neurologically intact and hemodynamically stable he weaned from vasopressor support. beta blocker was initiated and the patient was gently diuresed. the patient was transferred to the telemetry floor on pod#1, his ct remained for continued drainage. his wires were removed in timely fashion and wihtout difficulty. the patient was evaluated by the physical therapy service for assistance with strength and mobility. patient has a history of vertigo (likely bppv), in the post-op period he was acutely dizzy and very unsteady gait as a result, he was restarted on his meclizine. he has a hx of carotid stenosis and was restarted on plavix. due to his continued dizziness, he had carotid studies done which showed 60-69% stenosis in right and patent left carotid stent. he was evaluated by the neurology service who felt that his dizziness was related his vertigo that has been aggravated by his recent surgery and that it will improve with time. he has remained hemodynamcically stable and remains in sr. the wound was

also given narcan with some improvement in mental status given recent percocet use. she was then admitted to medicine for further evaluation of her hypotension and altered mental status. on the medical service, her hypotension was attributed to hypovolemia in the setting of hd. she continued to have altered mental status that was thought to be due to delirium due to pain, narcotics, and hospitalization. narcotics were held, and tylenol and lidocaine patch were instituted. renal followed patient, and she continued to have hd. she had leukocytosis and was cultured, although never mounted fever. patient cultured as foci of infection could be necrotic toes of l foot. vascular surgery was consulted for ? superinfection of necrotic toes on l foot. also found to have new rue dvt.

mitral valve leaflets are mildly thickened. there is no mitral valve prolapse. mild (1+) mitral regurgitation is seen. there is mild pulmonary artery systolic hypertension. there is a small pericardial effusion. no right atrial or right ventricular diastolic collapse is seen. compared with the prior study (images reviewed) of , the heart rate has doubled and the left ventricular size is smaller with mid-cavitary obstruction, suggesting underfilling of the left ventricle. the severity of aortic stenosis may be slightly worsened. upper extremity ultrasound: acute deep venous thrombosis involving the right subclavian, axillary, basilic, and brachial veins. cxr: previous severe atelectasis in the right middle and lower lobes has improved. persistent air bronchograms in the right lower lung could represent consolidation due either to atelectasis or pneumonia, but much of the relative increase in radiodensity of the right lower chest is due to a moderate right pleural effusion. pulmonary vasculature is generally engorged. mild-to-moderate cardiomegaly is stable. brief hospital course: the patient was admitted with hypotension at the time of dialysis. she had a leukocytosis

conclusions the left atrium is mildly dilated. left ventricular wall thicknesses are normal. the left ventricular cavity size is top normal/borderline dilated. due to suboptimal technical quality, a focal wall motion abnormality cannot be fully excluded. overall left ventricular systolic function is severely depressed (lvef= 20-25 %). the right ventricular cavity is moderately dilated with severe global free wall hypokinesis. the number of aortic valve leaflets cannot be determined. the aortic valve leaflets are moderately thickened. there is no aortic valve stenosis. no aortic regurgitation is seen. the mitral valve leaflets are mildly thickened. there is no mitral valve prolapse. trivial mitral regurgitation is seen. the estimated pulmonary artery systolic pressure is normal. there is a trivial/physiologic pericardial effusion. impression: suboptimal image quality. severely depressed biventricular systolic function. . cardiac cath (): comments: 1. coronary angiography of this right dominant system revealed three vessel coronary artery disease. the lmca did not have significant coronary artery disease. the lad was calcified with a mid-vessel 80% stenosis involving d1. the d1 had a proximal 50% and a mid-vessel 80% stenosis. the lcx had a proximal 50-60% lesion and was calcified in the mid-segment. the om1 was large and bifurcating. the rca was subtotally occluded in the mid vessel and distally filled via left to right collaterals. 2. limited resting hemodynamics demonstrated mildly elevated left ventricular filling pressure (lvedp 15 mm hg) and normal systemic arterial blood pressure (sbp 125 mm hg). there was no gradient upon pullback of the catheter from the left ventricle to the aorta. 3. left ventriculography was deferred due to renal dysfunction. final diagnosis: 1. three vessel coronary artery disease. 2. mildly elevated left ventricular filling pressure. . ekg : irregular rhythm but with well seen p waves in some leads suggesting sinus tachycardia with atrial premature beats. borderline intraventricular conduction delay. st-t wave abnormalities. no previous tracing available for comparison. rate pr qrs qt/qtc p qrs t 111 0 100 316/405 0 45 172

torso w contrast (): impression: 1. infrarenal abdominal aortic aneurysm measuring up to 42 mm and extends into the proximal left common iliac artery. there is no evidence of aortoenteric fistula. 2. left perinephric and retroperitoneal stranding. 3. small amount of fluid in the left paracolic gutter. 4. left psoas collection measuring 40 , 6 cm x 3.6 cm x 2.1 cm 5. several lung nodules as described in the text, the largest one measuring 8.5 mm. if patient has history of smoking or known risk factors, a followup in six months is suggested. 6. bibasilar consolidations probably represent atelectasis, but could represent aspiration. . cxr : impression: 1. satisfactory position of og tube. 2. small bilateral pleural effusions and associated atelectasis. . cxr : comparison is made with prior study performed a day earlier. cardiac size is top normal. ng tube tip is in the stomach. et tube tip is in standard position. left lower lobe retrocardiac opacity has worsened as is right lower lobe opacity consistent with atelectasis. there is no pneumothorax. impression: worsened bibasilar atelectasis. . cxr : findings: newly inserted left pectoral pacemaker. correct lead position, no pneumothorax. the pre-existing right basal opacity has completely resolved, the nasogastric tube and endotracheal tube have been removed. brief hospital course: mr is a 78m with cad, htn, hl, pvd presenting s/p vf arrest, with coffee ground emesis and guaiac+ stool. #. v fib arrest: the etiology was unclear on admission. has known history of cad. cardiac enzymes were slightly elevated after defibrillation, and not suggestive of primary coronary ishemic event. also be scar mediated from prior mi. he underwent arctic sun cooling protocol. one day after warming, sedation was weaned and he was following commands. he was extubated 3 days after the arrest but required bipap shortly thereafter. he was evaluated by cardiac cath and subsequently by ep for icd placement. cath showed 3 vessel disease with mildly elevated lv filling pressure. icd was placed on without complication. he did not have any subsequent events. pt is completing a 3-day post-operative course of keflex (last day .he will be discharged to rehab with follow-up for his icd with dr. . . # coronaries: given the possibility that cardiomyopathy was ischemic in origin, he was placed on a statin, beta blocker, and asa. he underwent diagnostic cardiac cath which showed 3-vessel disease. he will be discharged on low-dose lisinopril, metoprolol, simvastatin, and aspirin 81. he will be following up with dr. for general cardiology. he will be evaluated for possible surgical intervention with cardiothoracic surgery as outpt, but he is likely not a good candidate. . # pump: patient had known cardiomyopathy, with tte showed ef 20% with both systolic and diastolic chf. despite this, he did not initially appear overloaded and was oxygenating well. after resuscitation, he was overloaded and was diuresed with lasix. acei was not started initially given concern for gi bleed. he required several doses of prn lasix 60mg iv during his stay for tachypnea. he required a dose of lasix 40mg iv x 1 during his icd placement for tachypnea to the 30s. he has also responded to nebs given his underlying copd. he has been satting in the mid to upper 90s on 2l, and upper 80s-low 90s on ra (according to physical therapy.) he was not previously on home o2. he will be discharged on standing lasix 20mg po daily, and o2 will be weaned as tolerated to maintain o2sats >92%. . # atrial fibrillation: after initially presenting with vf, he was in and out of atrial fibrillation. metoprolol was uptitrated for rate control. he will be discharged on metoprolol 75mg po tid. hr was stable in the 60s on day of discharge. he was also maintained on a heparin gtt during his hospital stay. this was held in preparation for his icd placement. the morning after the procedure, he was started on coumadin 5mg po daily for anti-coagulation in the setting of afib (so does not require heparin bridge.) dosing should be adjusted to maintain an inr of . . # gi bleed: patient initially had coffee-ground emesis and guiac positive stool. his hematocrit fell from 33 to 27, but he did not require transfusion. ct was negative for aorto-enteric fistula. the gi team did an egd and found gastritis and duodenitis without source of bleed. he was given proton pump inhibitor initially, and this was transitioned to 40mg po daily. he did not have any recurrent signs of bleed. on day of discharge, his crit was stable at 28.5. his anemia should be followed up as outpt with his pcp. . # transaminitis: on admission, patient had macrocytosis, transaminitis, thrombocytopenia. per conversation with pcp, was new. he has no prior history of liver disease. the most likely cause of transaminitis was underperfusion in the setting of shock. inr/albumin were normal on admit. transaminases continued to trend down toward normal throughout his stay. lfts should be re-checked as outpt with pcp. . # thrombocytopenia: platelets were low but stable during stay. levels fluctuated between 60s-low 100s. pt did not require any transfusions, and did not show new signs of bleeding. platelet levels should be followed up further as outpatient to evaluate for underlying hematologic derangement. . # copd: pt had episodes of tachypnea during his stay which was thought to be related to both fluid overload following resuscitation and his underlying copd. he was maintained on nebs as needed (which he responded well to) and resumed on advair at discharge. he required supplemental o2, and was satting in the mid-upper 90s on 2l on day of discharge. he was also started on standing lasix 20mg po daily to address the component of fluid overload. . # fen: heart healthy, replete lytes prn, no ivf for now . # access: piv . # ppx: bowel reg prn, coumadin, ambulate as tolerated with pt . # code: full, discussed wiht
