visualized portions of the lungs are otherwise clear. innumerable small hypodensities are seen throughout the liver, measuring up to 14 mm in the right hepatic lobe (2:28). there are also innumerable, similar-appearing hypodensities throughout the spleen. the spleen is moderately enlarged, measuring up to 15.8 cm in its craniocaudal dimension. the portal vein is patent. the gallbladder is unremarkable. there is a 7-mm hypodense lesion in the pancreatic body (2:22), possibly a cyst versus side-branch ipmn. the pancreas is otherwise normal. there is no dilation of the main pancreatic duct or common duct. there is no intrahepatic biliary duct dilatation. the adrenal glands are grossly normal. the kidneys excrete contrast symmetrically. no focal renal lesions are identified. there is no hydronephrosis. the stomach and small bowel are grossly unremarkable. there is extensive diverticulosis, predominantly involving the sigmoid colon, without definite evidence for diverticulitis. the appendix is not definitely identified. there is a small quantity of free fluid within the mesentery and dependent portion of the pelvis. there is no free air in the abdomen. multiple enlarged lymph nodes are seen along the retroperitoneum, specifically in the aortocaval region. the largest nodal conglomerate is in the left paraaortic region at the level of the left renal hilum, measuring 4.1 x 2.0 x 4.2 (ap x tv x cc). this lesion demonstrates central hypodensity, consistent with necrosis (2:31, 601b:26). an additional representative node within the aortocaval region measures 2.6 x 1.6 cm (2:34). an enlarged portacaval node measures 1.8 x 1.3 cm (2:26). pelvis ct: the bladder is unremarkable. the prostate is normal in size. there are no pathologically enlarged pelvic lymph nodes. bone window: no suspicious lytic or blastic lesions are identified. multilevel degenerative changes of the thoracolumbar spine are seen. note is made of a left total hip arthroplasty. impression: 1. innumerable hepatic and splenic small hypodensities, concerning for lymphoma versus metastases, although an infectious process cannot be entirely excluded. the presence of bulkly retroperitoneal lymphadenopathy would favor a neoplastic process. further evaluation with mri may provide additional information. 2. small volume ascites, predominantly within the dependent portion of the pelvis. 3. 7-mm hypodense lesion in the pancreatic body, possibly a cyst versus side-branch ipmn. further evaluation with mri is recommended. 4. extensive colonic diverticulosis, particularly involving the sigmoid colon, without evidence of diverticulitis. liver biopsy(): extensive necrosis(approximately 80%). viable areas demonstrate mild steatosis and a polymorphous lymphoid infiltrate, which focally effaces the liver parenchyma. cells are positive for cd30 with co-expression of cd45, cd20, cd79, pax5, -1 and -2 but are negative for cd5, cd15, and alk-1. cd30 positive cells far outnumber cd20 positive cells. liver biopsy results indicate a lymphoma with features intermediate between diffuse large b-cell lymphoma and classical hodgkin lymphoma (grey zone lymphoma). in this case, a hodgkin lymphoma is favored for the following reasons: 1) co-expression of cd30, .2, and pax5 with evidence of ebv-infection (lmp+) is more likely to be associated with hodgkin lymphoma. 2) cd30+ cells far outnumber cd20 positive cells, indicating loss of cd20 in the majority of cd30 positive cells. 3) the subsequent biopsy of the patient's bone marrow (s12-31075h) revealed patchy infiltration by a lymphoma containing classic -sternberg cells and an appropriate immunoreactive background. mr head w & w/o contrast (): impression: no evidence of intracranial lymphoma. no evidence

lfts,anemia/thrombocytopenia and hepatic/splenic hypodensities on ct which was found to be stage iv hodgkins lymphoma with involvement of the liver, spleen, and bone marrow. micu course: #fever: he had a high fever in the setting of vague weakness, slight jaundice, and hepatic lesions. possible diagnoses included acute viral hepatitis vs. tick- illness (human ehrlichiosis and anaplasmosis and babesia) vs malignancy. less likely on the differential included autoimmune hepatitis, alcoholic hepatitis, and lower biliary process. acute hiv was also considered. he was started on vanc/zosyn/doxycycline for empiric coverage. hepatitis b/c serologies and pcr revealed him to be hcv negative. blood smear was unremarkable for parasites. anaplasma/ehrlichiosis/babesia serologies revealed: lyme was negative. ebv serologies revealed past infection. ct abdomen revealed innumerable hepatic and splenic small hypodensities, concerning for lymphoma versus metastases, w/ infection also possible. a 7-mm hypodense lesion in the pancreatic body, possibly a cyst versus side-branch ipmn, was also found. mri abdomen revealed an enlarged edematous liver with hepatomegaly and gallbladder wall edema, multiple focal hepatic lesions and innumerable focal lesions in the spleen. and retroperitoneal lymphadenopathy, suggestive of a lymphoproliferative disorder. sarcoidosis was also considered possible. two subcentimeter pancreatic cysts w/ 12-month mri f/u recommended were also seen. an us-guided biopsy of the liver was performed, with preliminary results concerning for lymphoma vs. hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis. cytology revealed atypical cells of undetermined significance. am cortisol was elevated to 35. ldh was elevated to the 500s-600s during throughout his micu stay. blood, fungal, and urine cultures were unremarkable. c. difficile was negative. id and heme/onc were consulted, and they recommended that empiric antibiotic therapy be discontinued given that liver biopsy was consistent with malignant process. heme/onc began allopurinol for uric acid production prophylaxis and dexamethasone was started with daily surveillance of tumor lysis labs. potassium increased significantly after initiation of steroids, without any ekg findings (no prolonged pr interval, peaked t waves, or widened qrs) at k of 5.6 and 7.3. #liver/splenic hypodensities: while in the micu, the liver and splenic hypodensities were most suspicious for malignancy of lymphoma or mets (likely primary would be from prostate/pancreas). also possible were small abscesses given fever and acute sx. ir-guided percutaneous biopsy revealed grey zone lymphoma of the liver. #altered mental status: pt exhibited acute confusion which seems to be far from his baseline. be due delerium febrile state. also question of acute intracranial process as he did have transient difficulty with language. no other localizing neurological symptoms. also possible ams is secondary to hyponatremia, however this level is not extremely low. tsh was within normal limits. #thrombocytopenia/anemia: no signs of bleeding or melena. in the setting of acute illness. no clinical splenomegaly. coags not concerning .likely related to infectious/malignancy process above. #hypotension and tachycardia: pt was febrile at the time and had gotten up to go to the bathroom and was syncopal. likely he was hypovolemic and also vasodilated in the setting of fever. improved when fever was treated and volume was repleted. on the floors medicine/bmt: # hodgkins lymphoma: pt was found to have stage iv hodgkins lymphoma with involvement of the liver, spleen, bone marrow, and likely subcarinal lymph nodes. both percutaneous biopsy of the liver and bm biopsies were obtained, which revealed lymphoma with characteristics intermediate between large b cell lymphoma and classical hodgkin lymphoma. given the prescence of -sternberg cells in the bone marrow this is most consistent with hodgkins lymphoma. due to his liver enzymes being elevated he was first started on dexamethasone for treatment of the lymphoma. after several days his lft's and bili began to trend down such that chemotherapy could be started. pt was informed about his options of chemo with dr. , dr. and dr. . beacopp was initated on , holding adriamycin and procarbazine due to persistently elevated lfts. pt received reduced dosage chemotherapy and on tbili was down to 2.6 so procarbazine and adriamycin were added at a reduced dosage. pt tolerated chemotherapy regimen well and will be discharged on procarbazine and prednisone to continue the beacopp regimen with the plan for him to get day 8 bleomycin and vincristine as an outpatient. he also had a staging pet scan on of which the is pending. # anisocoria: in addition on the floors pt experienced new onset anisocoria l pupil > r pupil which was concerning for cns lymphoma. pupils remain reactive to light and accommadation and eomi. pt remains alert and oriented. no change in mental status. a mri of the head with and without contrast did not reveal any intracranial lymphoma. in addition, pt does not have any other focal neurologic deficits. at this time it is unclear why the patient has anisocoria. per pt request an lp was deferred at this time. # liver/splenic hypodensities- pt presented to the hospital with fatigue and weakness. his labs revealed transaminitis and elevated bilirubin. follow-up ct scan of the abdomen revealed lesions on the liver and spleen along with retroperitoneal lad, which were concerning for either malignancy (lymphoma vs. mets) vs. infectious. he was started empirically on vancomycin, piperacillin-tazobactam, and doxycycline. once on the floor, he was sent for a biopsy of the livery lesion, the initial read of which revealed lymphocytic infiltration concerning for lymphoma vs. lymphophagocytic histiocytosis. it was later determined to be a grey zone lymphoma. hep b surface ag, surface ab, core ab negative. hav ab neg. bcv ab negative. cea 2.8 wnl. after liver and bm biopsy confirmed lymphoma, he was stopped on all antibiotics, and started on allopurinol for ppx against elevated uric acid, and 40mg iv dexamethasone qd with tumor lysis labs. his k trended upward to 5.6 and 7.3 s/p initiating steroids, with normal ekg. #pancytopenia-no signs of bleeding or melena. improving on steroids. anemia without thrombocytopenia. in the setting of acute illness. no clinical splenomegaly. coags are not concerning. likely related to malignancy process and secondary to chemotherapy. pt did not require transfusion suppport during in house chemotherapy. #fever: resolved. had high fever in the setting of vague weakness, slight jaundice, and hepatic lesions. this was likely secondary to malignancy as other etiologies on differential including autoimmune hepatitis, alcoholic hepatitis, and lower biliary process were ruled out. hepatitis labs were negative for hav, hbv, and hcv. also possible is acute hiv. however hiv ab was found to be negative. pt had received tylenol prn for fever, limit to 2g daily in light of liver dysfunction. on discharge pt is currently afebrile. #upper extremity swelling: on night of pt noticed swelling of left upper extremity where picc line is in place, not associated with pain or erythema. concern was for upper extremity dvt. duplex ultrasound showed no evidence of upper extremity dvt. currently no pain or erythema around picc line, and swelling decreased this am. picc site should be monitored for signs of infection, erythema, warmth. #transaminitis/hyperbilirubinemia: secondary to hepatocellular injury/cholestasis due to lymphoma involvement of the liver. ast/alt/alp decreased since admission, t bili is now down to 2.6. lft's should continue to be monitored as an outpatient. #hyperglycemia: blood glucose has been mildly elevated since starting steroids. -check bg before meals and bedtime. pt was on low dose iss for hyperglycemia (bg>150). pt did not require much insulin. pt will be discharged with 4 days of steroids and then tapered. no need for insulin at home given only mild elevation of glucose on steroids. chronic issues: # depression - on citalopram at home. he was initially started on paxil, but transitioned to citalopram, s/p confirmation of medications with pharmacy. mood improved until diagnosis of lymphoma was made. his low mood currently is appropriate given his new diagnosis of lymphoma. pt was instructed to not take citalopram while undergoing chemotherapy. transition issues: #pt will need to get day #8 chemo (vincristine and bleomycin on ). an appointment with dr. has been scheduled #pt will need to take neupogen after day #8 chemo. a prescription was called in his pharmacy. pt was instructed not to take neupogen until instructed by his oncologist. medications on admission: home medications: levofloxacin x 2 days citalopram 20mg qd discharge medications: 1.

allergies: patient recorded as having no known allergies to drugs attending: chief complaint: stemi. major surgical or invasive procedure: cardiac catheterization with angioplasty and stenting (2 x des to om1), . history of present illness: ms. is a generally healthy 54-year-old woman who is admitted to the ccu following emergent cardiac catheterization. on the afternoon prior to admission, the patient had acute onset of a burning substernal cp with a pressure sensation radiating to her left shoulder. she did not have associated symptoms such as nausea, sob or diaphoresis. she thought this might have been indigestion or pain from her neck, and her symptoms did improve with antiacids. the discomfort then waxed and waned over the course of the day; the patient eventually felt well enough to go to sleep. around 1am she was awakened from sleep by an acute worsening of her symptoms. she presented to hospital where her ecg was notable for ste in i, avl, v5 and v6 as well as std in iii and v1 through v4. initial tropi was elevated at 0.51 (initial ck not available). the patient was treated with asa, iv heparin and iv ntg, which resulted in transient resolution of her pain. she was transferred to the ed, where she additionally received integrillin and 600mg plavix. as she was having recurrent discomfort in the ed, she was taken for urgent cardiac cath, performed with radial access, which demonstrated a tight om lesion. this lesion was treated with a des; a small proximal dissection was noted, and this was then treated with a second des. the was excellent flow post-procedure. on arrival to the ccu, the patient reports being pain free and feeling entirely well. on review of systems, she denies any recent fever, chills, change in weight, nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, change to bowel or bladder habbits, arthalgia, myaglia, dizziness, numbness or weakness. cardiac review of systems is notable for absence of chest pain, dyspnea on exertion, paroxysmal nocturnal dyspnea, orthopnea, ankle edema, palpitations, syncope or presyncope. past medical history: 1. upper back pain, s/p spinal fusion social history: the patient reports being under a moderate amount of psychosocial stress recently. she works in hr for the social security administration. -tobacco history: prior smoker, quit for 14 years, now smoking a few ciggarettes per day. -etoh: rare -illicit drugs: denies family history: the patient's mother suffered an mi in her early 40s, but is now in her 80s and doing well. the patient's father required multi-vessle cardiac bypass surgery in his late 60s. physical exam: gen: well appearing adult female, no acute distress. heent: perrl, eomi. mmm. op clear. conjunctiva well pigmented. neck: supple, without adenopathy or jvd. chest: lungs

on the day of admission and were trending down by . pci with two drug-eluting stents placed in om1. posterolateral hypokinesis was noted on echo, resulting from the present event and associated with a mildly depressed left-ventricular ejection fraction of 50%. she was monitored with telemetry without any significant events, except for very occasional ectopy. ecg changes progressed slightly (see above). a1c was not indicative of diabetes as a potential risk factor, nor were lipids particularly abnormal. smoking is likely the primary indentified inciting factor for this patient. however, the patient's mother had early coronary disease, in her 40s, suggesting a genetic predisposition that is as yet unidentified in this pedigree, possibly polygenic. agressive lipid lowering is indicated, along with antiplatelet agents, particularly after drug-eluting stent placement. therefore, her medication regimen includes atorvastatin (80 mg po qd), plavix (75 mg po bid for one week then qd), aspirin (325 mg po qd). a beta-blocker, metoprolol succinate (25 mg po qd) was also added. hypertension mrs. was mildly hypertensive on the first day of admission, with blood pressure range up to 150/89 mmhg. lisinopril was commenced at an introductory dose (2.5 mg po qd). metoprolol, as above, likely also has a mildly anti-hypertensive effect. leukocytosis likely stress demargination in the

emphysema tracking around the distal fifth metatarsal along with adjacent soft tissue swelling. there is no periosteal new bone formation or osseous destruction detected. no acute fracture or dislocation is detected. there are hallux valgus and metatarsus varus deformities with hyperostosis along the medial aspect of the distal first metatarsal. degenerative changes are noted at the first mtp joint with joint space narrowing and dorsal spurring. large inferior and posterior calcaneal spurs are also seen. there is a hammertoe deformity at the second digit. degenerative changes are seen in the mid foot at the talonavicular joint. an exaggerated arch is noted. there is patchy osteopenia. a linear radiopaque density is noted in the subcutaneous tissue of the right heel which may represent a foreign body. impression: 1. radiographic findings suggestive of osteomyelitis at the head of the fifth metatarsal. 2. possible foreign body in the right heel. 3. hallux valgus. hammertoe deformity of the second toe. cxr: low lung volumes with bibasilar atelectasis but no findings to suggest pneumonia. bone biopsy: pending brief hospital course: 60 yo f with insulin dependent diabetes presented with dka and right foot pain. # diabetic ketoacidosis. patient's initial anion gap found to be 25 on arrival to the ed. her presentation was most likely secondary to non-compliance and inability to pay for her insulin. she was started on an insulin gtt in the ed, which was continued upon her arrival in the micu. as her gap closed, her iv fluid hydration was adjusted and she was transitioned to glargine with a sliding scale as her consult recommendations. her hemoglobin a1c was found 12.6. she was transferred to the general medical floor on subcutaneous insulin and her blood sugars were primarily well controlled. # right foot osteomyelitis. the patient presented with pus at the plantar surface of her right foot. a deep tissue swab was taken, although after she had already received antibiotics, and blood cultures were sent. a foot x ray suggested osteomyelitis at the head of the 5th metatarsal and possible foreign body in the right heel. podiatry was consulted and she was taken to the or for debridement and wash out with a bone biopsy twice. she was originally started on vancomycin, cefepime and flagyl. the infectious disease team was consulted who recommended that she transition to ceftriaxone and flagyl as her cultures from the osh and in house grew group b strep and mssa. she will require 6 weeks of ceftriaxone from the date of her last debridement/wash out (). she was continued on flagyl due to loose stools, please see below. # htn. sbp was noted to be in the 170s upon arrival. she was initially treated with iv antihypertensives and transitioned to lisinopril in the micu. she continued to be hypertensive during the course of her stay. the patient noted a cough a few days into her course of lisinopril and she was transitioned to valsartan and later losartan for a generic antihypertensive. # loose stools upon arrival to the general medical floor, the patient began to report loose stools. cdiff studies were sent and were negative. the patient continued to report loose stools, although reported they were improving. as the patient was being treated with flagyl, it was not entirely clear if this improvement was due to the flagyl or resolving of her symptoms naturally. a cdiff pcr of the stool was sent and she is to be continued on flagyl po until the results return. . # substernal chest pressure as part of her presentation, the patient reported occasionally substernal chest pressure. she was ruled out for acs, but was noted to have ekg changes, most notably a lafb. while no former ekgs were within our system, this remained stable during her hospital course and her symptoms resolved and her condition improved. # medication noncompliance the patient reported that she had not taken her insulin in three months as she had lost her insurance and was unable to afford medications. she met with both the case management and social work teams who helped her procure insurance so she would be able to afford her medications in the future. # health insurance coverage: application for masshealth was completed, and should hopefully be improved by the time of discharge from rehab to cover home meds including insulin.

(pending): imaging ecg : sinus rhythm. within normal limits. no significant change compared to previous tracing of and that of . ecg : the rate is slightly slower with persistent sinus tachycardia. otherwise, no significant change compared to tracing #1. ecg : the rhythm appears to be supraventricular which could still be sinus tachycardia. however, this raises the possibility of a supraventricular tachycardia (atrial flutter or a-v re-entrant tachycardia) with low voltage compared to tracing #2. this could represent a pneumothorax or pericardial effusion, among other things. clinical correlation is suggested. tte : the left atrium is mildly dilated. the estimated right atrial pressure is at least 15 mmhg. left ventricular wall thicknesses are normal. the left ventricular cavity size is normal. overall left ventricular systolic function is low normal (lvef 50%). the right ventricular free wall thickness is normal. the right ventricular cavity is 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 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 tricuspid valve leaflets are mildly thickened. moderate to severe tricuspid regurgitation is seen (may be underestimated). significant pulmonic regurgitation is seen. there is no pericardial effusion. compared with the findings of the prior study (images reviewed) of , severe right ventricular contractile dysfunction and moderate-to-severe (possibly frankly severe) tricuspid regurgitation are now present. the pulmonary artery pressure is probably significantly elevated. cta : impression: 1. no acute aortic pathology. if there is a filling defect in the left lower lobe subsegmental artery, it is isolated and too small to be clinically significant. no other filling defect concerning for pulmonary embolism. 2. mild right heart failure with significant right atrial and right ventricular enlargement, exacerbated by interstitial lung disease and emphysema. 3. small perihepatic ascites. 4. lesion at the carina may be mucus or an endobronchial lesion covered with mucus. consider repeat ct for reassessment(preceded by vigorous coughing) after treatment of heart failure. ct abd : impression: 1. no evidence for abscess. 2. ileostomy in the right lower quadrant. 3. anterior abdominal wall hernia containing small bowel, no evidence of obstruction. cxr : findings: in comparison with study of , there is little overall change. substantial cardiomegaly with bilateral opacifications most likely reflecting pulmonary edema. the possibility of supervening pneumonia would have to be raised in the appropriate clinical setting. central catheter remains in place. slight impression on the lower cervical trachea on the right could possibly represent a small thyroid mass. cxr : comparison is made to prior study, . moderate-to-severe cardiomegaly is unchanged. there are low lung volumes. left port-a-cath tip is in the right atrium. there is no pneumothorax or pleural effusion. mild-to-moderate pulmonary edema is stable. tte : the left atrium is mildly dilated. the estimated right atrial pressure is at least 15 mmhg. left ventricular wall thickness, cavity size, and global systolic function are normal (lvef>55%). the right ventricular free wall thickness is normal. the right ventricular cavity is moderately dilated with mild 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. there is no aortic valve stenosis. no aortic regurgitation is seen. the mitral valve leaflets are mildly thickened. trivial mitral regurgitation is seen. the tricuspid valve leaflets are mildly thickened. there is at least mild tricuspid regurgitation. there is mild-moderate pulmonary artery systolic hypertension. there is no pericardial effusion. impression: suboptimal image quality. moderately dilated and mildly hypokinetic right ventricle with at least mild tricuspid regurgitation and mild-moderate pulmonary hypertension. preserved left ventricular systolic function. cxr : as compared to the previous radiograph, there is unchanged evidence of moderate-to-severe pulmonary edema. however, the interstitial component of the edema is more prominent on the current image. the presence of a small pleural effusion cannot be excluded. unchanged mild cardiomegaly. unchanged position of the left pectoral port-a-cath. portable abdomen : there are dilated loops of presumably small bowel in the lower abdomen. although most likely reflecting adynamic ileus, the possibility of an obstruction cannot be unequivocally excluded. if this is a serious clinical concern, ct would be the next imaging procedure. brief hospital course: 70 yo w w/ refractory crohn's disease s/p total colectomy/ileostomy, short gut syndrome, rheumatoid arthritis on prednisone, pes in (on coumadin), osteoporosis and falls, admitted s/p l hip fracture, now s/p l orif w/ post op hypotension/resp. distress mucous plug, re-intubation/extubation, atrial tachycardia, called-out of the micu and is now doing well. acute issues # left hip fracture s/p orif - mechanical fall likely osteoporosis with chronic steroid use. stitches removed on and pt can weight-bear as tolerated. pt has been tolerating pt well. she will be discharged on her home oxycodone and acetaminophen prn for pain control. she has follow-up with np on . # hypotension. etiology remained elusive, however after extensive evaluation, most likely etiology initially was felt be a combination of sepsis from pulmonary source (hcap in setting of mucous plug), volume overload (right sided failure, confirmed by tte) in setting of aggressive volume resuscitation 8l and possible atrial tachycardia. cta showed no pe and ground glass opacities as well as findings consistent with interticial lung disease and emphysema. ct abdomen w/o iv contrast showed no evidence of large abcess or additional fistulae. adrenal insufficiency was ruled out with stim test. on multiple occasions, patient was found to have svt to 160s, felt to be consistent with atrial tachycardia with drop in bp by over 10mm hg. with svt to 130s, no appreciable change in bp was noted. pt. was weaned off pressors on . residual hypotension was noted in correlation to narcotic pain medication administration, though pt always mentated well. this was also in the setting of giving metoprolol for atrial tachycardia, which was then reduced to 12.5mg metoprolol in house with some improvement in hypotension. # fever. unclear in etiology. pt was treated with vancomycin/zosyn for hcap and on the day that they were supposed to be completed (), she developed sudden fever to 102.8 with severe wheezing and tachypnea. symptoms improved with apap. port was de-accessed and pt. was pancultured. she was restarted on vancomycin and meropenem. on port was re-accessed and cultures obtained w/o further incident. given negative cultures from , antibiotics were discontinued. pt remained afebrile through the rest of the hospitalization. # tachycardia. sinus during acute illness phase, however with runs of atrial tachycardia in setting of volume overload. with diuresis and completion of antibiotics, patient continued to have frequent runs of a-tach. she was started on metoprolol and loaded with digoxin. subsequent hrs were in 70-80 range with bps in 90s-100s. digoxin was then discontinued as pt was in sinus rhythm. cardiology was consulted who suggested rate control with toprol 25mg daily. # rv dysfunction. echo on showed the right ventricular cavity dilated with severe global free wall hypokinesis and abnormal septal motion/position consistent with right ventricular pressure/volume overload. moderate to severe tricuspid regurgitation was seen. it was recommended that pt be adequately diuresed and repeat echo obtained, which on showed the right ventricular cavity moderately dilated with mild global free wall hypokinesis and still abnormal septal motion/position consistent with right ventricular pressure/volume overload. however, it only showed at least mild tricuspid regurgitation. discussion was held with cardiology about possibility of performing a right heart catheterization, which was deferred to the outpatient setting. pt will be seen in cardiology as an outpatient for further follow-up. # acute on chronic diastolic dysfunction - tte w/ ef > 55% and evidence of rv dilatation and volume overload. pt was aggressively diuresed in the micu with repeat echo, though minimal change was seen, except for improvement in tricuspid regurgitation. pt is not on any diuretics at home and none were started upon discharge. pt will have f/u with cardiology as an outpatient. # pulmonary hypertension. pt w/ pasp of 35mm hg. could be due to ild or copd. pt has outpatient f/u with pulm for repeat pfts in . # recurrent dvts and hx of pe. coumadin temporarily held on admission in setting of hypotension. patient bridged at that time with lovenox. inr again increased in setting of meropenem initiation, coumadin temporarily held and restarted on . she has been on 3mg daily with therapeutic inrs. recommend checking inr level tomorrow and re-dosing as appropriate since pt is on acetaminophen and zoloft which can affect inr levels. # crohns disease. stable, pt. w/o c/o of abdominal pain/cramping (typical for her). no changes in stoma output. held mtx as above. steroids were restarted once patient was hd stable. gi was consulted to assess whether some of her infectious presentation could be due to an underlying fistula, which was not felt to be the case. her methotrexate was re-started upon discharge per her outpatient gastroenterologist. # rheumatoid arthritis dx. per discussion with op rheumatologist, all of her w/up has been negative (all serologies), and her arthralgias were felt to be more consistent with crohns related arthritis rather then ra. prednisone 5mg daily was restarted and continued throughout the hospitalization. # neuropathy. topamax was stopped in setting of lack of efficacy, persistent acidosis and family concerns re: aes (mental slowing). can consider re-starting as an outpatient if indicated. transitional issues # incidental finding f/u: cta chest showed a lesion at the carina may be mucus or an endobronchial lesion covered with mucus. consider repeat ct for reassessment(preceded by vigorous coughing) after treatment of heart failure. she is currently scheduled for ct chest w/o contrast on . # recommend discussion with dr. regarding utility for flagyl (on this previously, stopped during micu

discharge was 2.3). home lasix, glyburide, flomax, lubripristone, fenofexadine, verapamil held. ##. nstemi: pt showed no ischemic ekg changes in the ed but cardiac enzymes were noted to be positive with a ck of 1836, ckmb 230, ckmbi 12.5, troponin 0.06. twi in i, avl, q in lead iii, small r-wave and avf inferiorly. pt ruled in, likely ischemic from his prolonged episode of hypotension. aspirin was initially held as pt had been started on xygris, but asa was restarted once xygris course completed. in future could consider adding ace inhibitor as renal function resolves. did not start beta blocker given episodes of bradycardia. ##. bradycardia: pt noted to be bradycardic, requiring atropine in the field for hr in the 40s. bradycardia initially thought to likely be due to his hypothermia. however, had additional episodes of sinus bradycardia periodically, particularly in the evening. improved during hospital course, with patient maintaining normal sinus rhythm with regular rate at time of discharge. # anemia: pt??????s hematocrit trended down throughout first few days of admission. likely aggressive fluid hydration. pt does also have h/o peptic ulcers, and was on xygris which increases risk of gib, however, stool and ng aspirate both guiac negative, there was no evidence for rp bleed or intracranial bleed. pt was maintained on ppi and active type and screen maintained. pt was transfused one unit on and his hematocrit did bump appropriately. anemia thought to be secondary to renal failure. was not actively bleeding and hct was stable at time of discharge. #. hypothyroidism: continued on home levothyroxine . #schizophrenia: intially held clozaril and perphenazine while intubated and sedated. pt was then started on linezolid so clozaril and perphenazine were held for concern for seratonin syndrome. linezolid course was completed on . clozaril should be held another 2 weeks, at least, and could be restarted on as long as patient is not sedated. can be continued on perphenazine per home dose. . #copd: continue atrovent and albuterol prn, usually on nebs but switched to inh while intubated. . #? adrenal insufficiency: on dexamethasone 2mg at home, hydrocortisone was initially started at stress doses and then weaned down and eventually transitioned back to dexamethasone. pt can follow up c his pcp regarding whether he will need to continue dexamethasone (this diagnosis is very recent and did not seem definite based on osh records). . # dm: pt with known dm type 2. initially placed on insulin drip as it was felt that his skin was likely too edematous to get good absorption of sc insulin (target range for gtt was 150-200). after diuresis pt was placed on sc insulin. # sw: sw consulted for regarding safety of pt's living situation. they felt that placement at home would not be a good idea and should go to rehab and be further evaluated for placement at time of discharge from rehab. # prophylaxis: subcutaneous heparin , bowel reg

instructions: you were admitted to the icu because you had a severe infection in your urine and in your lungs that caused your blood pressure to fall. while in the icu, we treated you for this by giving you fluids and giving you antibiotics (linezolid and meropenem) for these infections, of which you completed the course. because you had trouble breathing, we started you on a breathing machine. over the course of several days, your infection began to clear, your fevers improved, and your blood pressure returned to normal. you were also getting better at breathing so we took you off the ventilator and put in a tracheostomy, which allows us to give you oxygen safely. when you go to rehab, they will assess you daily to see when your tracheostomy can be safely removed or whether your peg tube can come out once you can safely take food by mouth. . the following medication changes were made: (1) because of renal failure, we stopped your lasix. as your renal failure begins to clear, this can be restarted. (2) we stopped your glyburide because of your renal failure. (3) we stopped your home dose of flomax because of your renal failure. (4) we stopped your verapamil b/c of your renal failure. (5) we stopped your clozaril, because in combination with the linezolid, this can cause your white blood cell count to drop. you can restart clozaril on . (6) you should continue to take perphenazine 4 mg as at home; this can also be given prn for agitation. (7) you should start lansoprazole which protects your stomach from getting irritated. followup instructions: 1) monday, you should follow up with pulmonary with dr . his office is located on the in the building. (2) please follow up with renal on tues am with dr . this is located in the building on the . (2) you should follow up with your primary care physician and your outpatient psychiatrist within 1 month of discharge. you will need to have these appointments scheduled. md Procedure: Venous catheterization, not elsewhere classified Continuous invasive mechanical ventilation for 96 consecutive hours or more Other gastroscopy Enteral infusion of concentrated nutritional substances Injection of steroid Percutaneous [endoscopic] gastrostomy [PEG] Temporary tracheostomy Injection of antibiotic Injection of antibiotic Bronchoscopy through artificial stoma Transfusion of packed cells Injection or infusion of oxazolidinone class of antibiotics Injection of insulin Infusion of drotrecogin alfa (activated) Diagnoses: Acidosis Hyperpotassemia Anemia in chronic kidney disease Subendocardial infarction, initial episode of care Pneumonia due to other gram-negative bacteria Acute kidney failure with lesion of tubular necrosis Urinary tract infection, site not specified Acute posthemorrhagic anemia Unspecified protein-calorie malnutrition Severe sepsis Unspecified acquired hypothyroidism Chronic airway obstruction, not elsewhere classified Hypertensive chronic kidney disease, unspecified, with chronic kidney disease stage I through stage IV, or unspecified Chronic kidney disease, unspecified Pulmonary collapse Hemorrhage complicating a procedure Acute respiratory failure Other specified septicemias Septic shock Other complications due to other vascular device, implant, and graft Hyperosmolality and/or hypernatremia Streptococcal septicemia Surgical or other procedure not carried out because of contraindication Acquired absence of kidney Diabetes with renal manifestations, type II or unspecified type, not stated as uncontrolled Paranoid type schizophrenia, chronic Other tracheostomy complications Methicillin resistant pneumonia due to Staphylococcus aureus Other adrenal hypofunction Benign neoplasm of stomach Hypothermia not associated with low environmental temperature Other specified diseases of the salivary glands

(discussed with pathology and felt to be a contaminant from another sample). c6 vertebral body : results pending at time of discharge imaging: ct c-spine w/o contrast: laminectomy changes at c3-c6 with osseous destructive process centered around the c6-c7 intervertebral disc space concerning for vertebral osteomyelitis and discitis. mri c-spine is recommended for further evaluation. cxr : substantial cardiomegaly. no evidence of acute disease. mr w/ and w/o contrast : 1. no significant changes are demonstrated since the prior examinations, persistent abnormal signal identified at c6/c7 level, with moderate pattern of enhancement and retropulsion. 2. kyphotic deformity at c6/c7 level, causing anterior thecal sac deformity, these findings are concerning for discitis, osteomyelitis. epidural thickening with moderate pattern of enhancement, likely consistent with a combination of prominent epidural veins and dural thickening, no frank evidence of epidural collection is identified. unchanged prevertebral soft tissue swelling extending from c4 through c7 levels. 3. multilevel degenerative changes throughout the cervical spine as described above. there is no evidence of focal or diffuse lesions within the cervical spinal cord; however, the examination is limited due to patient motion. mri brain : 1. no acute intracranial process, specifically no evidence of intracranial infection or infarction. 2. mild chronic small vessel ischemic disease. 3. a lesion which lies superiorly to the right parotid is likely an enlarged lymph nodes, although a parotid tumor cannot be excluded. could correlate clinically and with prior imaging studies. 4. no stenosis, occlusion, or aneurysm visualized within the cerebral vasculature. tte : the left atrium is moderately dilated. the right atrium is markedly dilated. there is mild symmetric left ventricular hypertrophy. the left ventricular cavity is dilated. due to suboptimal technical quality, a focal wall motion abnormality cannot be fully excluded. the lv ejection fraction appears depressed (? 35 percent). there is considerable beat-to-beat variability of the left ventricular ejection fraction due to an irregular rhythm. the right ventricle also appears hypokinetic. the aortic valve leaflets (3) are mildly thickened but aortic stenosis is not present. the mitral valve leaflets are mildly thickened. mild (1+) mitral regurgitation is seen. there is mild pulmonary artery systolic hypertension. there is no pericardial effusion. bilateral lower extremity ulratsound : limited assessment of the peroneal veins bilaterally, otherwise no evidence of dvt in the bilateral lower extremities. cxr : as compared to the previous radiograph, the patient has received a cervical fusion. the endotracheal tube has been removed, the nasogastric tube is also removed, but the right picc line remains in unchanged position. unchanged moderate cardiomegaly with small areas of atelectasis but no evidence of pneumonia or other pathological changes. no pneumothorax. brief hospital course: 64m with afib on coumadin, chf with ef 35%, antiphospholipid antibody syndrome, multiple dvts and pes, htn, cervical spinal stenosis s/p c3-c7 laminectomies and c3-c4 fusion c/b mssa wound infection, who was transferred from with 1-2 days of increased neck pain, r sided weakness, with imaging evidence of c6-c7 discitis/osteomyelitis. # osteomyelitis: patient with history of cervical spinal stenosis s/p c3-c7 laminectomies and c3-c4 fusion c/b mssa wound infection that required prolonged antibiotics. he was admitted with increased neck pain, r sided weakness, and with imaging evidence on ct c-spine of c6-c7 discitis/osteomyelitis. was seen by ortho-spine in the ed and placed in a j cervical collar due to his unstable c-spine. he was afebrile, without leukocytosis, and numerous blood cultures were negative. antibiotics were initially held per id consult while awaiting cultures, and given the clinical stability of the patient from an infectious standpoint. mri with and without contrast was obtained on third attempt, requiring general anesthesia due to patient discomfort in the scanner and motion artifacts. mri/mra of the brain revealed no evidence of intracranial pathology, including septic emboli. tte showed no evidence of endocarditis, and tee was not obtained due to low suspicion of endocarditis. origin of the infection was not clear, possibly related to the prior mssa infection in . history, physical, and work-up revealed no other infectious source that could have led to the osteomyelitis. due to the proximity of the infection to the carotids, neuro ir decided they would not be able to obtain an ir-guided biopsy. thus, the patient needed an operative biopsy, which was delayed due to the patient's afib with rvr and antiphospholipid antibody syndrome (discussed below). . his first procedure was an anterior stabilization and operative biopsy, involving c6-7 corpectomies and anterior c5-t1 fusion on . the procedure went well. he was left intubated following the procedure, and required brief micu admission notable for hypotension and afib with rvr. his heparin gtt was restarted 48 hours after the surgery, and the patient was kept in the micu for the first day after restarting the heparin for frequent neuro checks, as there was concern for high risk of bleeding post-operatively. he did not develop any new neurologic deficits, and was stable for transfer back to the medicine floor. cultures from the biopsy were negative, and pathology from c6 vertebral body biopsy revealed no definitive evidence of osteomyelitis. the patient received cefazolin peri-operatively, and was continued on this antibiotic after the surgery. however, after cultures remained negative, id consult recommended again holding antibiotics and obtaining repeat cultures when the patient went back to the or on for posterior stabilization. the patient underwent deep bone biopsy, open treatment cervical fracture/dislocation, posterior cervical arthrodesis c5-c6, c6-c7, posterior thoracic arthrodesis c7-t1, posterior instrumentation c5-t1, iliac crest bone graft harvest for fusion, and allograft for fusion on . again, he tolerated the procedure well. was again briefly admitted to micu post-op, but stable for transfer to the floor the following day. patient was placed back on cefazolin perioperatively, though cultures from the repeat biopsy also remained negative. universal pcr for bacterial and fungal pathogens was sent, and was negative. given increasingly low suspicion for active infection, id recommended stopping all antibiotics on . they will see patient in follow-up in several weeks, and will monitor cbc, esr, and crp at the 2-week and 4-week marks. with regard to the patient's cervical spine stability, he will wear the j collar until ortho-spine follow-up in weeks. his pain was controlled during the admission with acetaminophen, gabapentin, tramadol, methadone, and oxycodone prn pain. he was placed on a dilaudid pca post-operatively. home tizanadine was used to help control muscle spasms. of note, his ecg was monitored for qtc prolongation with patient on both methadone and tizanadine. he worked with pt/ot, and acute rehab was recommended. # atrial fibrillation: the patient was on warfarin for anticoagulation, and carvedilol for rate control prior to admission. he had initial bursts of rvr on arrival to the floor, which improved with his home carvedilol. after mri obtained under general anesthesia, the patient was transferred to the micu in the setting of afib with rvr with rates in 120s-150s and sbps 90s-100. he received metoprolol 5mg x3 without response in the pacu. his cxr showed question of rml atelectasis; no signs of pulmonary edema or obvious infiltrate. ekg c/w afib with rvr but no signs of ischemia. in the micu, the patient was started on a diltiazem drip with good control of heart rate, and the patient was started on po metoprolol. he briefly required pressors. his carvedilol was d/c-ed in order to reduce alpha blockade in setting of relative hypotension. was weaned off dilt gtt with good control of heart rate on metoprolol 25 mg tid and sbp>100. after transfer back to the floor from the micu, he maintained good hr control on this dose of metoprolol. following his first surgery, c6-7 corpectomies and anterior c5-t1 fusion, the patient was again transferred to the micu for afib with rvr and hypotension with sbp in the 70s. he received fluids and dilt drip, resulting in good rate control. he was successfully extubated and rate control was transitioned to metoprolol 25 mg tid with sbp>100. after transfer back to the floor from the micu, he maintained good hr control on metoprolol, though dose was increased to 37.5mg tid prior to discharge. . # antiphospholipid antibody syndrome/anticoagulation management: patient has history of antiphospholipid antibody syndrome, rue dvt, and pex3. inr was supratherapeutic on arrival to the hospital. coumadin and aspirin were held given his supratherapeutic inr, and pending surgical procedures. heme/onc was for assistance with anticoagulation management peri-operatively. he was maintained on heparin drip initially. inr was reversed with vitamin k and ffp. due to the need to be off of anticoagulation peri-operatively for his spine surgeries, a temporary ivc filter was placed by ir on . heparin drip remained off 6 hours before and 48 hours after the surgery on . after the first procedure, the patient was monitored with frequent neurologic exam checks, especially after resuming therapeutic anticoagulation. heparin drip was continued with goal ptt 80-100 between his two c-spine surgeries. his inr trended up despite not receiving coumadin, and he received additional vitamin k prior to his second c-spine procedure. heparin drip was again discontinued before the second surgery, and restarted after the second procedure. after the second procedure, the patient was again monitored with neurologic exam checks, especially after resuming therapeutic anticoagulation. his ivc filter was removed on , and his warfarin was resumed that same day. he should continue on the heparin gtt until inr has been therapeutic at 2-3 for >48 hours. inr was 3.5 on day of discharge, and warfarin was held. if inr therapeutic on , heparin gtt can be discontinued. would recommend restarting warfarin at 3mg daily once inr <3. # chronic schf: prior ef documented as 25-30%; tee this admission revealed ef 35%. patient did not have any evidence of exacerbation this admission. he was initially continued on home medications, but later in his course his furosemide/lisinopril were held in the setting of hypotension due to afib with rvr and narcotics use. these medications can be restarted as bp will allow in the outpatient setting. at this time, will plan to restart furosemide on discharge. of note, as above his beta blocker was switched from carvedilol to metoprolol this admission for better hr control. . # htn: bp remained well controlled during admission, with occasional episodes of lower sbp in the 90s-100s. these lower pressures were attributed to narcotics use, and occasionally occurred in the setting of afib with rvr. patient was asymptomatic. in this setting, his home carvedilol was changed to metoprolol, which was uptitrated to a dose of 37.5mg tid prior to discharge. his home lisinopril can be started back following discharge if bp remains stable. furosemide will be restarted on discharge. . # depression: continued sertraline. . transitional issues: -given low suspicion for active infection, patient will not be discharged on antibiotics. -patient needs cbc, esr, and crp checked at 2 weeks and 4 weeks, with results sent to clinic. id follow-up scheduled for . -patient has ortho follow-up with dr. scheduled for , though this appointment may be moved. should wear j collar until that time. -patient restarted on warfarin . please monitor inr daily and adjust warfarin dose accordingly. please continue heparin gtt with goal ptt 80-100 until inr therapeutic () for >48 hours. if inr therapeutic on , can d/c heparin. as inr 3.5 on day of discharge, would recommend continuing to monitor inr and restarting at 3mg daily once inr <3. -please continue to reassess pain and increase/taper narcotic regimen as needed. patient may benefit from a pain consult after discharge if narcotics requirements continue to be an issue. -patient's lasix and lisinopril held this admission given relatively lower bp (90s-100s) and that patient appeared euvolemic. can be restarted in outpt setting as tolerated, and would recommend restarting lasix at this time. -mri during admission revealed enlarged lymph node superior to right parotid gland (though differential includes warthin's tumor or adenoma). should be compared to prior imaging and followed up after discharge. -on pathology report of c6 vertebral body biopsy, note was made of a detached cluster of neoplastic cells, favored to be neoplastic epithelial cells. this cluster of cells was favored to be a contaminant from another case (discussed with pathology). -pathology and finalized culture data from c6 biopsy still pending at time of discharge and will need to be followed-up. medications on

hospital for neck pain and right-sided weakness. ct and mri scans of your neck were obtained. there was concern for an infection in the bones in your neck (osteomyelitis), and the orthopedic-spine and infectious disease doctors . you underwent surgery two times (one procedure done from the front of the neck and one from the back of the neck) with the orthopedic doctors your neck and hopefully to prevent further pain and weakness. we did cultures of your blood and of the bone removed from your neck, which revealed no evidence of infection. you received iv antibiotics after the spine procedures, but the infectious disease doctors not feel you need to continue on antibiotics after you leave the hospital. you received pain medication, and you worked with physical therapy to start regaining your strength and mobility. because of your history of antiphospholipid antibody syndrome and multiple prior blood clots, we the hematology doctors to help manage your anticoagulation. your inr was high on admission and too high for surgery, so we stopped your coumadin and reversed your anticoagulation. you received heparin while the coumadin was stopped. you also had an inferior vena cava (ivc) filter placed prior to the spine procedures, due to the need to stop the heparin temporarily for the procedures. the inferior vena cava filter was removed after your two spine procedures. after all of these procedures, we re-started your coumadin. you will take coumadin after discharge. with regard to your atrial fibrillation, your heart rate was high on several occasions. this improved with changing your rate control medications, intravenous fluids, and better pain control. due to your lower blood pressure, we held your furosemide and lisinopril while you were here. you should discuss restarting these medications with your doctor after you leave the hospital, but it is reasonable to restart your furosemide (lasix) at this time. we made the following changes to your medications: - stopped carvedilol (coreg) - stopped lisinopril -changed gabapentin dose (neurontin) -changed methadone dosing -changed warfarin dosing -started metprolol (for heart rate control) -started senna and bisacodyl as needed for constipation -started miconazole powder as needed for skin irritation -started heparin (until your inr is at the right level) -started oxycodone 20mg every four hours as needed for pain (with an additional 5mg twice daily as needed for breakthrough pain when working with pt) we did not make any other changes to your medications. please continue to take them as you have been doing. please discuss with your doctor whether you should be taking aspirin (this medication was on your medication list, but you do not recall taking it recently). please keep follow-up appointments as below. followup instructions: name: , : internal medicine address: , , phone: **please discuss with the staff at the facility the need for a follow up appointment with your

history of present illness: 54 year old woman with history of chronic multiple sclerosis, osteomyelitis, mrsa wounds/esbl urinary tract infections, diverting colectomy w/ colostomy, sacral decub (stage 4), depression, hyperlipidemia who presents with pancreatic hemorrhaging. the patient initially presented to with altered mental status on . she was diagnosed with possible wound infection and started on iv vancomycin, in discussions with infectious disease. there was also some concern for cdifficile infection and so the patient was initially on po vancomycin but all stool cultures this admission were negative. the patient was also briefly on meropenem for unclear reasons. . the patient had reported abdominal pain on admission and ct abdomen revealed pancreatitis although lipase was 47. gi was consulted and egd documented a large duodenal ulcer without bleeding. ct abdomen subsequently showed portal and splenic vein thrombosis. heme/onc was consulted and diagnosed the patient with protein c and s deficiency; these may have been spurious diagnoses in the setting of having already started the patient on coumadin (confounder). thus, heme/onc felt strongly about anticoagulation (dalteparin) although gi at the osh was concerned regarding hemorrhaging into the pancreas given recent pancreatitis. the patient continued to have abdominal pain and had a

this finding was discussed with dr. at 2:30 a.m. by telephone by dr. . size is normal. patchy bibasilar opacities are present, which could be due to atelectasis, aspiration, or infectious pneumonia. small right pleural effusion is also noted. . abdominal ultrasound with dopplers: 1. no evidence for recurrent flow within the thrombosed splenic artery pseudoaneurysm. 2. reversal of flow within the splenic vein, the significance of this finding is uncertain. the splenic parenchyma was not evaluated on this examination which was targeted to assessment of the pseudoaneurysm. . cta: 1. no pulmonary embolism or acute aortic pathology. bilateral small pleural effusions and bibasal atelectasis. lue picc ends in the lower svc. 2. thrombosis of the main and right portal vein, likely chronic thrombosis of the left portal vein. enhancement is not appreciated within the narrowed splenic vein, likely thrombosed. patent hepatic veins. minimal perisplenic fluid, but no evidence of splenic infarcts. 3. s/p thrombin injection into the splenic artery pseudoaneurysm, with a 6mm focus of arterial enhancement in the region, suggesting minimal recanalization /residual flow. 4. fat stranding surrounding the pancreatic tail/pseudoaneurysm, with small phlegmon and fluid collection adjacent to the pancreatic tail, s/o pancreatitis. s/p diverting rlq loop colostomy. brief hospital course: 54 year old woman with history of chronic multiple sclerosis, osteomyelitis, diverting colectomy/colostomy, stage 4 sacral decubitus ulcer, prior mrsa wound infections and esbl e.coli urinary tract infections, hypertension, hyperlipidemia who presents with peripancreatic hemorrhage from where she was admitted for altered mental status, pancreatitis, possible wound infection and transferred to on . # peripancreatic hemorrhage: pseudoaneurysm suggested on this patient's ct abdomen between a pseudocyst and the splenic vein. it is possible, given the recent bright red blood in her colostomy (although not currently) that there has been some bleeding into the pancreatic duct as well (hemosuccus pancreaticus). consulted ir for mesenteric angiography with embolization vs. coiling for pseudoaneurysm. on , interventional radiology attempted stenting across the aneurysm but was unable due to toruosity of the splenic vein. instead, using ultrasound guidance, thrombin was injected and the patient's hematocrits remained stable. the patient underwent repeat abdominal ultrasound with dopplers which showed stable pseudoaneurysm after ir intervention. the patient's hematocrit remained stable and did not require any blood transfusions while at . # portal vein and splenic vein thrombosis: complications of pancreatitis due to peri-pancreatic inflammation and can actually cause gastric varices with portal hypertension. if patient's protein c and s levels were drawn while on coumadin, they were likely inaccurate. pt will need weeks off therapy before she can re-evaluated for coagulopathies. anticoagulation was held as an inpatient as she remained asymptomatic and it was discussed with hepatology who recommended no anticoagulation in the near future. pt will need outpt hematologic workup for protein c and s deficiency in the future. # pancreatitis: possibly due to gallstones seen on ct and abdominal ultrasound. patient's lipase was not elevated at the osh but had radiological findings and abdominal pain. the patient's abdominal pain gradually resolved, initially as npo with ivf/tpn and then advanced a regular diet. pt will need ongoing monitoring of nutrition intake given her low albumin. # esbl urinary tract infections: evaluated by urology at osh and felt to have neurogenic bladder and would benefit from suprapubic catheter. urine culture repeated on admission showed vre although urinalysis was bland. the patient catheter was changed and repeat ua showed possible infection. of note, on exam during foley catheter change, the patient's urethra appeared enlarged/stretched. urology was consulted and on evaluation, felt that the patient's urethra had likely been gradually dilated given multiple sclerosis and leaking around catheter. each time she leaked, the patient's catheters were likely upsized, resulting in dilation. the patient will likely benefit from suprapubic catheter placement in the future. patient grew enterococcus on repeat urine culture with a rising leukocytosis. linezolid was not used due to concern for serotonin syndrome. daptomycin allergy was actually "warmth" and so patient carefully monitored and treated with daptomycin which she tolerated without difficulty. patient was started on daptomycin 350 mg iv q24 on and should continue until for a 14 day total course. # stage 4 sacral decubitus ulcer and lateral gluteal ulcer: stable, previously with wound vac. patient has a history of mrsa wound infections. wound care consulted and daily wound care received while in house. she was continued on zinc and vitamin c to help with wound healing. # multiple sclerosis: stable, patient lives at a rehab/nursing facility at baseline. the patient was resumed on her home baclofen and neurontin. # picc line infection: blood culture from left sided picc line grew gpcs in clusters in bottles. decision was made to pull picc line given likelihood of line infection. at the time of discharge, the picc tip cx was negative for growth at 48hrs but pt had been getting daily infusions of daptomycin through this line. a picc line was resited in right antecubital fossa, and chest ap portable film confirmed placement in the mid svc, and is ready to use upon discharge. # diverting colectomy, colostomy: unclear original reason for colostomy possibly to prevent infection of decub. continue to monitor ostomy which was guaiac positive in the micu. serial hematocrits remained stable. patient has known esophageal ulcer on osh egd. she was continued on oral ppi daily. she is scheduled to follow up with gi for egd biopsy results. # hyperlipidemia: stable, held gemfibrozil given pancreatitis. . # malnutrition: albumin significantly low at 1.6 at osh and 2.3 here. nutrition was consulted for for tpn. continue multivitamin, calcium, vitamin d. the patient is at risk for infection on tpn, given past history. nevertheless, she was started on tpn with simultaneous encouragement for po intake. tpn was stopped on . she is not a candidate for g tube placement at this time due to esophageal ulcer but should be re-evaluated in weeks. . # depression: stable, continue wellbutrin sr, zyprexa and lamictal. . # osteoarthritis: s/p bilateral total knee replacements, pt requested vicodin for pain management, which was increased to q4h prn. her morphine liquid solution was stopped. . #code status: dnr/dni daptomycin allergy: the report of daptomycin allergy was not confirmed. patient was monitored carefully while getting daptomycin and did not have any reactions. recommended follow-up: follow-up: -please make sure patient sees a gastroenterologist within 2 weeks after discharge for management of pancreatitis/pancreatic hemorrhage. we have arranged for follow-up for a gastroenenterologist at but feel free to cancel this appointment and make arrangements with a different gastroenterologist. - patient will need mrcp to look for signs of liver malignancy or infiltrative disease. - she should

her protracted illness. osh cultures from ucx and blood cx all negative. given her improvement with meropeneum and presumed failure with bactrim and allergy to fluroquinolones and pcn, decision made to complete 14days with ertapenum (day on discharge). picc placed prior to d/c. vna set up for teaching and monitoring and safety labs. discussed plan with patient and her current pcp (who is ob/gyne) dr who will follow up on labs. he will refer her to a pcp since her medical problems are a bit more complex than previous. she was also interested in f/u here with urology. appt made for with dr. . this will be after completion of her abx and the hope is that she can have more definitive treatment by removal of the stone and stent at that time. she also has had recent issues with urinary retention, likely complication of her illness and narcotics. she is told not to have any decath trials until her stone/stent issue has resolved given high risk for repeat infeciton in case of retention. thereafter she can have decath trials per gu or further w/u if fails. rest of her plan is outlined below. . . below is progress note from day of discharge: . 45year old female with

biventricular pacemaker/icd (biv icd) and normalization of ejection fraction with recent generator change complicated by pocket infection with enterobacter bacteremia. he was transferred from osh for sepsis management as well as explantation of generator. active problems # icd pocket infection: patient presented to hospital on with pacer pocket infection. he was started on vancomycin and piperacillin/tazobactam and transferred to on for further management. on transfer, patient met sirs criteria (hr, fever, rr) with altered mental status. his ef was documented as normal by osh so received liberal fluid resuscitation. antibiotics were changed to vancomycin and meropenem on transfer. cultures from osh grew enterobacter and his antibiotics were narrowed to meropenem 500 mg q6h. infectious disease recommendations were for 4 week course of antibiotics from time of lead extraction on because this patient had bacteremia documented on and , ongoing fevers, and leukocytosis. because he was self-pay and unable to afford iv abntibiotics for the full course, he insisted on being switched to po antibiotics. the enterobacter was sensitive to ciprofloxacin so he was discharged to home with a script for ciprofloxacin 750mg po q12h for a 4 week course from . he should follow-up with infectious disease as well as his doctors in . # thrombocytopenia: there was concern at the outside hospital for hit and dic. however his pretest probability of hit was low given 4t score of 1 point for degree of thrombocytopenia. also dic unlikely given elevated fibrinogen, no evidence of hemolysis, and normal coags. no fever or evidence of hemolysis to raise concern for ttp/hus and his mental status resolved with control of fevers. likely his thrombocytopenia was secondary to sepsis. platelets trended from 76 on admission to 350 on discharge. # delirium: patient presented to with marked delirium in setting of fever and tachycardia. his agitation improved with control of fever. # dilated cardiomyopathy: patient with history of dilated non-ischemic cardiomyopathy. his metoprolol was changed to long acting metoprolol succinate 100 mg daily, and he was started on lisinopril 5 mg daily for heart failure. he was not started on aspirin or statin because his failure is non-ischemic. currently, he is not in biventricular synchrony because his biv pacer has been removed due to infection above. he will be expected to have worse ef now. he should be evaluated for placement of a new biv-icd when his infection has cleared. he did not have any symptoms of heart failure during this admission. # paroxsymal atrial fibrillation (paf): he had intermittent afib, which never persisted. he had no symptoms. his chads2 score was only 1 so he did not need anticoagulation. he could be considered for aspirin daily as an outpatient. transitional issues: - he should be evaluated for placement of a new biv-icd when his infection has cleared. - a standing order for labwork including cbc w/diff, bmp, and lfts qweek should be given to the patient so that he can have labwork done locally and then faxed to infectious disease at . - continue ciprofloxacin 750mg po q12h for a 4 week course from - he should be monitored for symptoms of heart failure and his medications should be adjusted as needed for fluid management until a biv-icd can be reimplanted. medications on admission:

mental status: clear and coherent. level of consciousness: alert and interactive. activity status: ambulatory - independent. discharge instructions: dear mr. , you were admitted to the hospital because you were having fevers and your biventricular pacemaker/icd was infected. you had the device removed and you were treated with antibiotics which helped to make your fevers and infection clear. you were started on some heart failure medications. right now, your heart will not have the biventricular pacing which was helping it pump more effectively, you will need to have another device placed once you clear the infection. the following changes were made to your medications: - change your metoprolol to the long-acting formulation. you will now be taking metoprolol succinate 100 mg once a day for heart failure - start taking lisinopril 5 mg daily for heart failure - start ciprofloxacin twice daily until . . you will need to have labs checked every week. a prescription was given to you that you can bring to any lab and have the results faxed to the infectious disease doctor here at . you should keep all of the follow-up appointment listed below. you can postpone the appt with dr. if you wish. bring your medications to each appointment so your doctors update their records and adjust the doses as needed. it was a pleasure taking care of you in the hospital! followup instructions:

effusion. a right-sided port-a-cath catheter terminates in the distal svc. impression: large right effusion with associated atelectasis. superinfection cannot be excluded. left upper lobe peri-hilar opacity could represent pneumonia. cta abd/pelvis : impression: 1. increased size of subcapsular hepatic collection containing both low-density and high-density material, most consistent with a hematoma. the external-internal hepatobiliary drain passes through this collection. there is no evidence of intravenous contrast material extravasation into this collection to suggest active hemorrhage. 2. multiple hepatic metastases, not significantly changed. 3. unchanged small left adrenal nodule. 4. moderate-to-large volume ascites. 5. unchanged large right and decreased small left pleural effusions with associated bilateral lower lobe atelectasis, right greater than left. echo: the left atrium is mildly dilated. the right atrium is moderately dilated. there is mild symmetric left ventricular hypertrophy. the left ventricular cavity size is normal. overall left ventricular systolic function is normal (lvef 65%). the aortic root is mildly dilated at the sinus level. the ascending aorta is mildly dilated. there are focal calcifications in the aortic arch. 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. moderate tricuspid regurgitation is seen. the estimated pulmonary artery systolic pressure is normal. there is no pericardial effusion. impression: suboptimal image quality. no vegetations seen cxr: as compared to the previous radiograph, there is no evidence of pneumothorax. bilateral areas of atelectasis, small right pleural effusion. moderate cardiomegaly. right pectoral port-a-cath. cxr: port-a-cath catheter tip terminates at the level of mid low svc. no appreciable change or may be potential slight increase in the right pleural effusion is demonstrated. cardiomediastinal silhouette is unchanged, and lungs are essentially clear except for right basal atelectasis. abd u/s: impression: no hydronephrosis. overall, there has been no change from the most recent ct scan. kub: one limited supine portable ap view of the abdomen demonstrates multiple dilated bowel loops, most likely of the small bowel up to 7 cm in diameter with no evidence of rectosigmoid air, concerning for obstruction. cxr: there is no change in right partially loculated pleural effusion and left pleural effusion. cardiomediastinal silhouette is unchanged. ng tube was inserted recently, with its tip most likely in the stomach, although not clearly seen. no pneumothorax is seen. right port-a-cath catheter tip is at the level of mid svc. ct abd/pelvis w/ oral contrast: impression: 1. contracting right perihepatic hematoma. 2. increasing ascites compared to the previous examination, now large in volume. 3. liver masses better seen on ct, as are changes from whipple's. brief hospital course: **patient was made comfort measures only during hospitalization brief clinical course: pt is a 69 yo pancreatic cancer (on paclitaxel, last dose 6/25) s/p whipple () originally presented with jaundice and biliary obsruction on . he failed ercp decompression and underwent ptbd on . despite apparently good drainage and multiple ir repositionings, his course has been complicated with persistent hyperbilirubinemia. he also developed mssa bacteremia on currently on nafcillin (tte negative). plan was for placement of metal biliary with ir today. however, overnight patient acutely developed anuria. bladder scan was remarkable for >700cc, although his foley was flushed and exchanged without return. coudet was placed given history of prostate cancer and previous radiation therapy, again without return. patient then became acutely hypotensive from sbp's 90's to sbp's low 70's this morning. urology was consulted given concern for acute obstruction causing ivc obstruction, however after evaluation, urology was confident the patient was actually anuric and bladder scan was eroneous given large abdomen. patient's antibiotics were expaneded to vancomycin and cefepime and patient was bolused 2l ns without improvement in bp. he was then transferred to the for presumed sepsis on . . on arrival to the micu, vs were 97.5, hr 87, bp 88/52, rr 14, o2 93%ra. patient complained of persistent fatigue, relatively unchanged over the last several weeks, but otherwise was without complaint. he denied , , cp, or sob. he denies abdominal pain or nausea. no diarrhea or obstipation. he does endorse mild cough during this hospitalization. review of systems was otherwise unremarkable. he was bolused with albumin and normal saline, but sbps were in the mid 80s, and he was started on low-dose levophed. he received a paracentesis. nephrology thought the etiology of his renal failure was either ain from nafcillin vs. atn from hypotension. his hospital course was also complicated by an ileus which caused significant nausea and relieved by an ng tube. on the evening of , a patient and family meeting was held to discuss goals of care, and he was made cmo. on the morning of , he experienced significant nausea with movement which was relieved with the ng tube. he otherwise had no complaints. . issues: # hypotension: patient with profound acute hypotension but relatively asymptomatic. presumed due to sepsis given mulitple possible sources. however, notably patient does not meet sirs criteria on transfer to icu, as he had no leukocytosis, was afebrile, and was not tachycardic. pt was started on vancomycin and cefepime. his pressure was supported with levophed. no source was found and after goals of care discussion with pt and family, the pt was made comfort measures only. # anuria/: patient with acute onset anuria. known urinary incontinence following radiation prostate cancer. urology evaluated patient and is confident he is not retaining beyond the level of the bladder. pt was seen by renal and felt this was likely ain possibly due to nafcillin. pt put out at best 10cc/hr . he was made cmo and additional work-up/treatment was stopped. #. biliary obstruction: likely due to hepatic mets. s/p ir guided ptbd and multiple revisions. also has had brb drainage previously in hospitalizaiton. drain was kept in place. # mssa bacteremia: have switched nafcillin to vancomycin and cefepime given hypotension. pt was made cmo and antibiotics were stopped. # elevated inr: elevated to 2.1 on transfer to micu, this reversed with vitamin k and therefore was thought to be nutritional. pt's coumadin was held due to bleeding risk. # cough: significant r sided pleural effusion s/p diagnostic thoracentesis on . exudative by light's criteria. likely related to underlying malignancy, although could consider pneumonic process as well given current hypotension. #. pancreatic cancer: patient is s/p whipple with known mets to regional lymph nodes. last chemo given . chronic issues: #. prostate

shift of the normal midline structures with patent basal cisterns. 5. subcutaneous air and small subgaleal hematoma is an expected post-operative finding. cta head stable left frontoparietal subdural hematoma status post evacuation, likely related to arachnoid cyst in the left middle cranial fossa. no vascular occlusion or aneurysm is seen. however, engorged vein, cerebral vein coursing along the left frontoparietal convexity is likely secondary to mass effect from the subdural hematoma. if indicated an angiography can be performed to more definitively exclude aneurysm or vascular malformation. cta head stable postoperative fluid collection. no evidence of vasospasm. brief hospital course: pt was taken to the or and underwent an urgent craniotomy and evacuation. he was given 1 unit of platelets due to the recent aspirin consumption. surgery was without complication and he tolerated it well. he was extubated and transferred to the icu. post operatively he was lethargic but non-focal. post operative head ct revealed post op changes. on he underwent a cta of the head which showed alrge vbeins on the left andf plan was made to have a conventional cerebral angiogram. as the

adhesions and intraoperative ultrasound for hepatocellular carcinoma and hepatitis c virus. surgeon was dr. . operative findings included extensive intra-abdominal adhesions from his prior cholecystectomy. he had increased venous collaterals but not obvious portal hypertension. the liver was large and cirrhotic with large regenerative nodules. there was a mass lesion in segment viii extending and pushing into segment with involvement of the peripheral branches of the middle hepatic vein but the proximal right hepatic vein was clear. there were no other lesions in the remainder of the liver demonstrated by intraoperative ultrasound. please refer to operative report for further details. initially, he did well, but was also having decreased urine output. a liver doppler ultrasound was performed showing patent flow in the left portal vein, left hepatic vein, and left hepatic artery. main portal vein was unable to be visualized and af luid collection adjacent to the surgical margin was noted. on pod 3 he was noted to have worsening encephalopathy and repeat liver doppler ultrasound was done showing new ascites. there was no flow within the main portal vein, though apparently forward flow was seen in the left portal vein. as the findings were concerning for portal vein thrombosis versus slow flow a ct was obtained showing thrombosis of the left portal vein and main portal vein, extending to the confluence of the smv, portal vein, and splenic vein. the splenic vein was occluded to approximately its mid segment. the common and left hepatic arteries were patent. the left hepatic vein appeared patent. the ivc was patent. hypoattenuation was noted in segment v/viii. given these findings, he was taken back to the or by dr for exploratory laparotomy, portal vein thrombectomy. due to difficult anatomy, the thrombectomy could not be done, and an attempt was made by interventional radiology with tpa. he had a portal venogram suggestive of acute expansile thrombus within the main portal vein. narrowing was seen at the junction of the main and left portal veins. a 5 french catheter was placed. on , focal contrast extravasation from the right portal vein stump into the region of the jp drain was seen. successful exclusion of the right portal vein stump with placement of covered stents in the main and left portal vein was done with no further extravasation, however there was still persistent thrombus in the main and left portal veins after mechanical thrombectomy (angioget). attempt was made at another thrombectomy with tpa and on there was interval improvement, but still some thrombus in the stent and the main portal vein. heparin drip was initiated and the patient was placed on empiric ceftriaxone. also due to his worsening mental status he was intubated. he was started on tpn for nutrition support. micafungin was started for moderate growth of yeast from a sputum specimen on . platelats dropped as low as 57 on , a hit panel was sent which returned as positive. serotonin release assay was sent and reported as borderline positive. the heparin was stopped and he was started on bivalarudin. wbc was elevated around pod 8 (), although he remained afebrile. he was pan-cultured. all cultures remained negative except pd fluid was positive for vre. lfts were notable for progressive increase of total bilirubin, worsening jaundice and worsening mental staus consistent with hepatic failure. lactulose and rifaximin were started. he remained intubated. overall, liver function continued to worsen and progressed to hepatorenal syndrome necessitating cvvhd. it was determined at this time that he should undergo liver transplant evaluation. he had all serologies and baseline exams completed. he was listed for liver transplant. on , a donor liver was available. the patient underwent orthotopic deceased donor liver transplant (brain dead donor)non- abo compatible liver transplant. plasmaphereis was performed prior to or. procedure consisted of piggyback, portal vein-to- portal vein anastomosis, common bile duct-to-common bile duct anastomosis with no t-tube, infrarenal iliac artery conduit to the common hepatic artery of the donor, and portal vein thrombectomy for portal vein/superior mesenteric vein/splenic vein thrombosis. this was a please see the operative report for full surgical detail, however it should be noted that the patient received 8000 ml of crystalloid, 69 units of fresh frozen plasma, 79 units of packed red cells, 12 units of platelets, 12 units of cryo, and took 7 liters of ccvh. he was left with an open abdomen, was transferrred back to the sicu intubated. on he was brought back to the or for abdominal washout, tru-cut biopsy of the liver, reclosure of silastic abdominal closure. he was unable to be closed and then on he was taken once again to the or with dr for exploratory laparotomy, drainage of subphrenic abscess, liver biopsy and vicryl mesh closure which was attached to the fascia for closure of the intra-abdominal wall. liver biopsy results from showed zone three hepatocyte apoptosis/necrosis with focal drop-out, consistent with preservation/reperfusion injury. mild to moderate, predominantly zone three cholestasis, with focal feathery degeneration of hepatocytes and rare bile plug formation. no acute rejection was seen. white count noted to once again be 21.5 (it had normalized previously) and blood cultures from came back positive for vre. because of the previous peritoneal fluid vre positive cultures the patient had been on daptomycin, had remained on the micafungin for the sputum yeast and had additionally been on zosyn. blood cultures were checked daily and did not clear until . during that interval the dapto was changed to linezolid. he received 19 days of linezolid and then per id recommendations he was switched to tigecycline because on he underwent a technically successful aspiration/drainage of a complex intraperitoneal fluid collection. 10 french catheter was placed and left to bag gravity drainage. cultures showed sparse growth of enterococcus. on he had drainage of a non-infected pleural effusion. given prolonged intubation, he underwent trache placement on by dr . he had been on cvvh throughout while intubated. lfts were notable for persistent bilirubin elevation. gi was consulted and performed an ercp on . cholangiogram revealed a tight curve/loop in the mid common bile duct, with possible evidence of a subtle stricture just above this curve with mild upstream biliary dilation, an 8cm by 10fr biliary stent was placed across the mid-cbd. the bilirubin was 21.9 at the time of the ercp. over the remainder of the hospital course and towards the end of the hospitalization the bilirubin decreased to normal value of 1.4 and all other lfts were wnl. a repeat ercp was scheduled for . coumadin was started on for h/o portal vein thrombus/hit+ and adjusted daily. in early it was determined he would be stable enough for intermittent hd. a post pyloric feeding tube was in place and he has been receiving tube feeds. the patient had multiple speech and swallow evaluations including video swallow that demonstrated aspiration. he remained npo with meds given as suspesions via the feeding tube. he was on strict aspiration precautions. he was not to even attempt swallowing pills. intensive speech therapy was recommended for rehab. trache was gradually transitioned to trache collar. mental status improved. with this improvement, the trache was decannulated which he tolerated. of note, with improved mental status, he was very anxious. psychiatry evaluated and recommended risperdal. this was started and proved to decreased anxiety. psychiatry continued to follow and recommended starting remeron. this was started on . mood and sleep improved. the patient was finally stable enough to be transferred to the regular surgical floor on . he has been evaluated throughout by pt noting severe deconditioning/weakness. pt recommended rehab. ot evaluated and worked with him also making recommendations for rehab. the patient has had a vac to the abdominal wound since the mesh was placed. the mesh was eventually removed at the bedside during a debridement, and the vac is still in place with a white sponge to the underlying structures. the wound is slowly closing although healing has been very slow. wound measures 22cm x 9cm x 2cm. vac change consists of white sponge first on top of bowel then black sponge changed every 72 hours. on thyroid function tests were sent (tsh 13, t4 3.0) , he was found to be hypothyroid and was started on levoxyl. tsh decreased to 8.8 on . intermittent hd was performed and on had successful uncomplicated placement of a 15.5 french x 23 cm tip-to-cuff tunneled hemodialysis catheter via right internal jugular venous access with the tip of the catheter terminating in the right atrium ready for use. no heparin was used during hd for line flushes (hit +). the xray done at the time of the line placement was concerning for increased bilateral pleural effusions. there was concern for aspiration. and the patient seemed increasing confused. the patient had a head ct which showed no evidence of acute intracranial pathological process. he was transferred back to the sicu for two days, but cleared and came back to the surgical floor. id followed throughout and recommended a 4-week course of therapy, which changed to tigecycline, from the day of the first negative blood culture for vre () and an indefinite course of fluconazole given his many anastomoses and high likelihood of recurrence. multiple c diffs were sent (all negative) for multiple loose stools. the cellcept has been changed several times due to its potential gi effects and is now 250 qid. imodium was started twice daily. prograf levels have been followed throughout with dosing based on levels. he is currently on a prednisone taper per transplant clinic guidelines. patient

atrial tachycardia/a-fibb, etoh, hcv, now s/p attempted pvi c/b transseptal puncture to aortic root with aortic root to ra fistula. active issues: # fistula: on admission to ccu he received 1u ffp and 3u platelets (platelet count >100). ct surgery was notified and began pre-op eval in the event that he would need open surgical repair of the fistula. his blood pressure was tightly controlled with sbp<100 to reduce pressure gradient between aortic root and right atrium. repeat tee on hd#2 showed slight enlargement of the fistula. he had a tte to determine if the fistula could be monitored with serial ttes, however it could not be visualized on tte. he was extubated on hd#2 and restarted on his home medications. on hd5, a repeat tee was performed which showed stable aortic root to right atrial communication with associated hematoma. small secundum-type asd with left to right flow at rest. mild to moderate mitral regurgitation. mild aortic regurgitation. . # rhythm: procedure was terminated fistula, so patient continued to be in atrial fibrillation. his pradaxa was held due to concern he may need open surgical repair of the fistula (last dose pradaxa am). he was restarted on his amiodarone on hd 1. pradaxa was held on discharge and will need to be restarted in 2 weeks. his rate was controlled in the 80s. . # h/o etoh: he was started on a ciwa scale after extubation and weaning of sedation due to concern for withdrawal given heavy reported etoh history. this was discontinued a day prior to discharge and the patient did well. . stable issues: # htn: stable. his home bp meds (lasix, losartan, hctz) were initially held while on propofol but restarted on hd#2 post-extubation. his hctz was increased to 25 mg and he was started on amlodipine 10 mg for better blood pressure control. . # gerd: stable. he was continued on his home omeprazole. . # anxiety: stable. he was continued on his home anxiety meds (alprazolam, sertraline). . # arthritis: continue home pain

allergies: penicillins / ampicillin / vicodin es attending: chief complaint: fever s/p colectomy major surgical or invasive procedure: - ex lap, abdominal washout history of present illness: 81f transferred from today after undergoing subtotal colectomy on for diverticular bleeding. the patient had initially presented on for rectal bleeding which ultimately required icu admission and 10 units of prbcs in less than 24 hours. her inr was reportedly 3.0 at presentation and corrected with ffp. a colonoscopy revealed diffuse diverticular bleeding throughout the colon and she was taken on for subtotal colectomy. her postoperative course was complicated by hypotension and hypoxemia as well as a troponin leak to >10, which ultimately resolved. however, beginning 2 days ago the patient reportedly had fevers as high as 103. she was started on vancomycin, levaquin and flagyl and a ct scan was obtained on which demonstrated fluid in the pelvis. of note she was also started on tpn during this hospitalization. she also had elevated lfts which were attributed to large volume blood transfusion, and a ruq ultrasound on was negative for evidence of cholecystitis at . past medical

distended gb echo: the left atrium is markedly dilated. due to suboptimal technical quality, a focal wall motion abnormality cannot be fully excluded. overall left ventricular systolic function is normal (lvef ? 70%). the right ventricular cavity is dilated with grossly normal free wall contractility. the aortic valve is not well seen. the study is inadequate to exclude significant aortic valve stenosis. significant aortic regurgitation is present, but cannot be quantified. the mitral valve leaflets are mildly thickened. mitral regurgitation is present but cannot be quantified. the tricuspid valve leaflets are mildly thickened. tricuspid regurgitation is present but cannot be quantified. there is no pericardial effusion. if clinically indicated, a transesophageal echocardiographic examination is recommended. ct chest/abd/pelvis: impression: compared to the outside study of : 1. bibasilar collapse and associated effusions, unchanged. no pulmonary parenchymal infiltrates, central pulmonary emboli, or other finding to explain this patient's sepsis. 2. increase in free fluid in the abdomen compared to the prior study, some areas demonstrating peripheral enhancement and thus peritonitis should be considered. no evidence of free air, no evidence of bowel ischemia. 3. collapse of the previously identified pelvic abscess, pigtail drain in appropriate location. residual collection demonstrating foci of air likely indicative of persistent communication with adjacent bowel. this finding is unchanged, however. 4. probable hyperdense cyst within the upper pole of the left kidney, ultrasound confirmation can be performed when the patient is clinically stable. 5. cholelithiasis. though there is pericholecystic fluid, this is felt to be just a portion of the overall free fluid within the abdomen rather than a sign of gallbladder inflammation. 6. an element of diffuse anasarca, increased compared to the prior outside study. 7. subcutaneous contrast within the region of the right wrist. no documentation of contrast extravasation during this current study, likely therefore the result of the outside ct scan. ruq u/s: no evidence of biliary obstruction. ascites loculated. tte: mildly dilated right ventricle with borderline focal apical hypokinesis and septal motion consistent with right ventricular pressure/volume overload. no clinically significant valvular regurgitation or stenosis. moderate pulmonary artery systolic pressure. trivial to very small pericardial effusion superimposed on a prominent anterior fat pad. compared with the prior study

septic with labile blood pressures, she received several intermittent boluses of albumin. on hd4, patient's hct was stable at 27, tube feeds were initiated with a goal of 65cc/hr. on hd5, a left sided abdominal cellulitis was noted and patient was started on vancomycin for this. her abscess cultures grew klebsiella sensitive to ciprofloxacin, so she was started on cipro. patient's urine output improved, but she still maintained pressor requirement with levophed. she was briefly on neo as well, but this was weaned off. on hd6, patient's lfts started to rise and patient appeared to have ruq tenderness. ruq ultrasound was performed that did not show signs of biliary obstruction. it was discussed whether the patient should have drainage of the gallbladder, but it was felt that she did not have acute cholecystitis warranting drainage. patient continued to require pressors and the ventilator for poor respiratory status. on hd7, patient had an episode of pulseless vtach, that responded to trendelenberg positioning. however, neo had to be restarted for labile blood pressures. amiodarone gtt was started as well. ultrasound guided aspiration of abdomen at bedside showed 400 wbc adn pmn, no organisms on gram stain. however, patient's abdominal pain worsened that evening and her pressor requirement increased with dropping urine output. as such, the patient was taken to the or emergently the night of for ex lap and washout with removal of > 400cc purulenet fluid. postoperatively, the patient began to deteriorate. she was hypotensive requring multiple pressors, and her urine output began to drop. she was having worsening sepsis, not responding to medical management and her lactate was rising. a discussion was held with the family on the morning of , and it was decided to make the patient cmo. she expired shortly thereafter on . medications on admission: meds on transfer: lopressor 25'', dilaudid 0.25 q4h prn, insulin sliding scale, digoxin 0.125mg iv daily, lopressor

report were reviewed by the staff radiologist. brief hospital course: 86 yo female with copd on home o2 s/p recent copd flare admitted to with recurrent copd flare, flash pulmonary edema, and type ii nstemi. copd exacerbation/dyspnea: she was initially admitted to the micu and etiology of dyspnea was thought to be due to copd exacerbation and flash pulmonary edema in the setting of elevated blood pressures and no supplemental o2 at home. pna, acs and pe were all considered, however felt to be unlikely given improvement in symptoms and hypoxia with treatment of pulmonary edema and copd. elevated cardiac enzymes on admission felt to be demand mediated due to tachycardia and hypoxia, rather than acute thrombus. pe felt to be lower probability and no evidence dvt on exam. the patient did not have known chf and echo was obtained, which showed slightly depressed ef of 50% although the study was limited. she was treated with high dose iv steroids therapy which were converted to oral prednisone with a planned 2 week taper. her outpt advair and tiotropium were restarted. she was given frequent xopenex and ipratropium nebulizer treatments. she was initially started on a nitro drip for elevated blood pressures, and able to wean within the first 24 hours. flash pulmonary edema was treated with iv lasix. she was on nippv for approximately 12 hours and was eventually weaned to her baseline home o2. morphine was used for air hunger, however the patient developed hallucinations at higher doses and this was discontinued, it was restarted at lower doses and the patient tolerated it well. she was treated with vancomycin and zosyn initially which were changed to levofloxacin alone and completed a 5 day course for pneumonia vs bronchitis. throughout the hospital course her overall breathing improved. however, the patient continues to have intermittent episodes of mild dyspnea. multiple cxr, ecgs and abgs have been done in this setting which do not show clear abonormality. thus the episodes when mild are thought to be consistent with baseline copd and anxiety. slow breathing techniques work with occasionally needing neb treatments. pt should have pulmonary follow up as outpatient. she did have somewhat increased frequency in dyspnea episodes with lower hematocrits, however, she still had the episodes with hct >30. consideration should be made for repeat gi bleed if the frequency of the events increases. nstemi: elevated cardiac enzymes on admission in the setting of tachycardia and hypoxia. tnt peak of 0.41. ck peak 333. mbi 10-12%. ecg with nonspecific changes and patient was asymptomatic. likely type ii mi with increased demand from tachycardia and poor supply given hypoxia. there was no evidence to support acute plaque rupture physiology. she was continued on full dose aspirin. her imdur was restarted on the medical floor. she was not given beta blocker given significant copd. given her advanced age, she was not given a statin. lipids were checked and were under good control so statin was not started. during the patient's stay in the micu on , she developed chest pain radiating to neck and back. ekg was unchanged, and cardiac enzymes were lower than previous, 2 more sets were cycled and were pending on transfer to the floor. aspirin was stopped in the setting of an acute gi bleed. gi bleed: the patient was found to have large amounts of melena with a 10 point hematocrit drop on . for this she was briefly transferred to the icu and given 2 units of blood. however, given the patient's tenuous respiratory status, an egd was deferred. after several discussions with the family, it was decided to hold off on an egd unless the patient again became clinically unstable. the patient did have a total of 4 u prbc and had a stable hematocrit for >8 days. however, no egd was performed and the cause of the patient's bleeding is unknown. h pylori ab and stool antigen was negative. the patient did have hsv pharyngitis which could have caused esophageal ulceration and the gi bleeding. hsv pharyngitis: the patient had persistent dysphagia that was found to be hsv. she was treated with po valtrex for a 10 day course without issue. mrsa bacteremia: the patient was found to have a small pustule in the right antecubital fossa that was cultured to be positive for mrsa. 1 day later, the patient developed fevers and blood cultures positive for mrsa. high grade bacteremia was detected with mrsa with a total of 6 bottles positive. the patient had no signs of emboli including negative ct torso and transthoracic echo negative for endocarditis. however, given the patient's high grade bacteremia, the decision was made to treat empirically given systolic murmur and inability to perform tee (secondary to her respiratory status). thus the patient should finish her vancomycin on with id follow up the day prior. weekly cbc, lfts and chem 7's should be checked with the results faxed to the clinic at . acute systolic heart failure: developed acute pulmonary edema in the initial days of the hospitalization that occurred in the setting of slightly depressed ef on echo with evidence of elevated r sided filling pressures, likely due to underlying lung disease. less likely pe given rapid improvement in hypoxia as above. mild as. no priors for comparison. she was treated with aspirin and copd therapy to avoid hypoxia and worsened pulmonary htn. she did not receive beta blocker given her copd. in and outs as well as daily weights were monitored throughout. she required intermittent iv lasix in the setting of respiratory distress and tachycardia presumed to be flash pulmonary edema with good response. no lasix was needed for the last 1-2 weeks of hospitalization and bnp was lower than admission at ~700. leukocytosis: initially 22k on admission. declined to 15k and had risen but down to 10k after transfer to the floor. potentially due to pulmonary infection. no evidence of uti on u/a. could also be due to stress response as well as persistent steroid requirement. she was treated with a 5 day course of levofloxacin. repeat cxrs showed evolution of rll infiltrate but given that she remained afebrile and wbc resolved, antibiotics were not broadened beyond levofloxacin. htn: initially treated with nitro drip and then weaned and restarted on home amlodipine. per report, she also takes lisinopril as an outpatient but as bp was well controlled on amlodipine alone, lisinopril was not restarted. amlodipine was increased to 7.5 mg daily. transaminitis, elevated lipase: found on routine labs. tbili normal. abdominal exam benign. no fevers. normal lfts on discharge. pulmonary nodule: irregular l lower lobe density seen on cxr. stable on repeat cxrs. consider outpatient ct scan to further evaluate although unclear that patient would want any intervention. . # code: dnr/dni . # communication: patient, hcp daughter () . grandson is a resident at nyu (. medications on

dr. brief hospital course: mr. was admitted via transfer from hospital for surgical management of his coronary artery disease. he was transferred on heparin and nitroglycerin because he had chest discomfort prior to leaving , he was admitted to the intensive care unit for close observation. he was worked-up in the usual preoperative manner. vein mapping showed no deep vein throbosis. there was a question of disruption to the right greater saphenous vein due to previous trauma. on , mr. was taken to the operating room where he underwent coronary artery bypass grafting to three vessels. please see operative note for details. in summary he had: urgent coronary artery bypass graft x3, with left internal mammary artery to left anterior descending artery and saphenous vein grafts to diagonal and distal circumflex arteries. 2. endoscopic harvesting of the long saphenous vein. his bypass time was 86 minutes with a crossclamp of 71 minutes. he tolerated the operation well and was

kidneys enhance and excrete contrast symmetrically. there is no free air or free fluid in the abdomen. the abdominal aorta demonstrates mild atherosclerotic calcification. scattered mesenteric and retroperitoneal lymph nodes do not meet ct criteria for pathologic enlargement. a percutaneous g-tube terminates in the stomach. ct pelvis with iv contrast: the patient is post colectomy. multiple loops of small bowel contain oral contrast, and are not distended. contrast extends through the small bowel to the ileostomy site in the anterior abdominal wall, and passes freely through the

for her ostomy and worsening skin breakdown around the site. . # ostomy wound and skin breakdown - patient was evaluated in the ed with a ct scan showing flow through the ostomy without any entero-cutaneous fistulas. wound care nurse at home told patient there was a fistula. surgery evaluated her in the ed and does not think there is a fistula as the wound adjacent to the ostomy was probed and could not be passed. the ostomy nurse examined the patient and recommended some various wound cleaning suggestions, as well as placing a bag over the ostomy. she continued to have pain around her wound throughout her admission and was treated with dilaudid po which controlled the pain to an acceptable level. the wound did not appear infected. . # nausea and vomitting - the two days prior to discharge, the patient developed some nausea and vomitting. it is unclear the etiology. she felt better with zofran. she thinks it was something in the food that she ate. she had the same level of abdominal pain that she had upon admission, and was tolerating pos and having appropriate output through her colostomy. surgery was following along and did serial exams that were not concerning for an acute abdomen. she can continue to be treated wtih antiemetics as needed as long as she has appropriate stool output and vomit remains non bilious and non bloody. . # uti - had positive ua but culture grew yeast and was likely a contaminant. had one day of cipro and then it was stopped when culture data returned. . # dm - patient takes metformin at home, sugars have been well controlled, was d/c'ed on lantus previously. we held the metformin because of her ckd and put her on insulin sliding scale. her hba1c was 5.7. she can stay on insulin for now but eventually go back on metformin (if her kidney function is ok) as she would be unlikely to be able to administer insulin to herself. . # neuropathy - patient with severe peripheral bilateral neuropathy today. at home takes celebrex and dilaudid for pain medicines. held celebrex for ckd and added gabapentin for neuropathy. per patient, gabapentin helped pain improve. . # ckd - seems to be at baseline, but creatinine has been variable past few months. received some ivfs the night prior to ct scan, and creatinine was not rechecked because she refused labs every time. . # copd - stable, did fine on room air . # osa - stable, do not know cpap settings . # depression - was tearful and obviously depressed throughout hospitalization, she was on venlafaxine per old disharge summaries, but she does think she's taking it anymore. she kept saying that she hoped she died, but always denied suicidal ideation. psych was consulted because depression was hindering her ability to get well from a medical

brief hospital course: the patient was initially admitted to the micu service. general surgery consulted for c.diff colitis. she was treated conservatively. however, over the next 48 hours her abdominal become worrisome and she developed arf and essentially became anuric. a kub at this time demonstrated free air. the patient was then taken to the operating room where she underwent a total abdominal colectomy with end ileostomy. she was noted to have 2.5 liters of purulent material in the abdomen in the or. post-op: the patient was transferred to the sicu for further resuscitation. neuro: pain was controlled and sedation minimized . cv: at this point her hemodynamics had begun to improve. she was quickly weaned off of pressors and required minimal fluid resuscitation. . pulm: she was eventually able to wean to minimal vent settings, but only tolerated trach collar for a few hours at a time. this is likely due to her pre-existing condition as well as severe illness she was recovering from. . gi/fen: she was placed on trophic tube feeds and advanced to goal which she tolerated. her stoma was functioning well at the time of discharge. . renal: renal was consulted for her arf. she began cvvhd after a hd line was placed. this was continued for about a week until enought volume had been taken off to adequately wean her vent settings. the cvvhd was stopped and she began making more urine, about 50-100cc per hour. her electrolytes and creatinine remained stable. renal recommended holding off on further dialysis for now. she did receive a few doses of lasix and seems to respond well to this. . heme: her hct was stable but slowly drifted down to 22 by discharge, she received one unit of prbc for this. . id: she was initially treated with cipro/flagyl/vanco. the iv

abdominal pain: given history of biliary stones, gallstone pancreatitis, and two prior sphincterotomies as well as lfts suggesting obstruction, it was initially suspected that pt again has an obstructive biliary process due to cholelithiasis. however, ercp did not reveal any stone or sludge or cause of obstruction. her prior sphincterotomy was enlarged. it is possible that she had passed a gallstone by the time her ercp was done. the patient developed significant diarrhea while on three antibiotics for her cholangitis. her diarrhea improved when she was just on one antibiotic. c diff negative. patient complained of improved, but continued ruq and rlq pain after the ercp. on exam, she had diffuse abdominal distension with tenderness on exam. she had normal bowel sounds. although she was tender on exam and complained of persistant pain, she was seen ambulating the halls without difficulty and went out to smoke as well, despite advice from the rn not to do so. she also requested pain medicine despite appearing to be comfortable. because she did have abdominal distension and tenderness on exam, she went for ct scan of the abdomen. the findings showed possible duodenitis and jejunitis. she was advised to go for endoscopy with push enteroscopy, but she refused. she also had a lot of bowel wall edema not consistent with inflammation, but likely due to third spacing of fluids, as her albumin was 2.5. she was advised to finish a one week course of antibiotics for cholangitis # hepatitis c: seen by liver service. patient has outpatient hepatologist, but has never had a liver biopsy. she states that she became hepatitis c after a rape that occurred when she ws 15. her daughter is also hepatitis c positive, and is a heroin user. she was evaluated by the hepatology service here regarding her persistantly abnormal lfts after her ercp, and they felt that there was no acute hepatic process. she is interested in following up with them for possible treatment of her hepatitis. her lfts did start to improve by the course of her discharge, and should be followed up by her pcp. was no clear evidence of portal hypertension on imaging. # anxiety: patient continued on round the clock clonazepam. she became so worried about her medical condition, that she called a son that she put up for adoption at birth and told him that she was gravely ill, and asked that he request leave from his duties in to come and to see her. i explained to her that her hepatitis c is a chronic problem, and, that as she refused egd there was no further workup that could be done. medications on admission: clonazepam 1mg tid bentyl (dicyclomine) 20mg daily pantoprazole 40mg discharge medications: 1. clonazepam 1 mg tablet sig: one (1) tablet po tid (3 times a day). 2. pantoprazole 40 mg tablet, delayed release (e.c.) sig: one (1) tablet, delayed release (e.c.) po q12h (every 12 hours). 3. ciprofloxacin 500 mg tablet sig: one (1) tablet po q12h (every 12 hours) for 3 days. disp:*6 tablet(s)* refills:*0* 4. dilaudid 2 mg tablet sig: 1-2 tablets po every 4-6 hours for 7 days: take only if needed for pain, and please minimize its use. disp:*20 tablet(s)* refills:*0* discharge disposition: home discharge diagnosis: 1. cholangitis 2. chronic hepatitis c 3. anxiety discharge condition: mental status: clear and coherent. level of consciousness: alert and interactive. activity status: ambulatory - independent. discharge instructions: you were transferred to for treatment and evaluation of cholangitis. you had an ercp that was largely unremarkable. your pain and abnormal liver tests improved overall, but still persisted so you were seen by the liver specialists and you had a ct scan of your abdomen. the ct scan showed that your liver and spleen are normal sized, and that you may have some inflammation in your small bowel. we offered you the chance to have an endoscopy to better evaluate your small bowel, but you refused. please take antibiotics for an additional 3 days. you can take pain medicine for abdominal pain, but please do so sparingly. followup instructions: name: pa- address: , , phone: appointment: thursday 11:00am *this is a follow up appointment of your hospitalization. you will be reconnected with your primary care physician after this visit. department: liver center when: wednesday at 10:20 am with: , md building: lm campus: west best parking: garage Procedure: Endoscopic sphincterotomy and papillotomy Diagnoses: Other and unspecified noninfectious gastroenteritis and colitis Tobacco use disorder Unspecified essential hypertension Chronic hepatitis C without mention of hepatic coma Unspecified septicemia Sepsis Anxiety state, unspecified Diarrhea Duodenitis, without mention of hemorrhage Hypovolemia Cholangitis Obstruction of bile duct Unspecified antibiotic causing adverse effects in therapeutic use Other pancytopenia Retained cholelithiasis following cholecystectomy

staph urine cx: coagulase negative staph 6:15 pm blood culture blood culture, routine (preliminary): burkholderia (pseudomonas) cepacia. ................................................................ pathology: right leg skin biopsy: vacuolar interface and mild superficial perivascular dermatitis with epidermal and follicular dyskeratosis. the finding of follicular dyskeratosis is suggestive of early gvhd. a viral exanthem cannot be excluded, however, the follicular dyskeratosis would be unusual. the lack of significant numbers of eosinophils makes a drug eruption less likely. pas and gram stains are negative. . csf immunophenotyping: there appears to be an atypical population of cells that are not clustered in the cd45 vs. ssc histogram and demonstrate variable reactivity for cd13, cd33, and cd34. the concurrent cytospin slides are negative for involvement by an acute leukemia. while the above immunophenotypic findings may be non-specific, they are atypical and warrant clinical follow-up. . left flank skin biopsy: the sections show focal/patchy parakeratosis with "squamous cell activation," multifocal dyskeratosis, and mild spongiosis. the dermal-epidermal junction is involved by marked vacuolar changes, and apoptotic and colloid bodies are present. there is mild papillary dermal fibrosis with marked endothelial cell activation. the inflammatory response is paucicellular and comprised of predominantly mononuclear inflammatory cells with rare eosinophils. red blood cell extravasation and pigment incontinence are noted. overall, the findings are suggestive of a hypersensitivity type reaction such as to drugs, if compatible with clinical presentation. given the histopathological features and the clinical history, graft versus host disease cannot be entirely excluded. . bone marrow biopsy: the aspirate material is aspicular, precluding adequate differential counts. however, the core biopsy has a focus of immature mononuclear cells which are morphologically suspicious for blasts. by immunohistochemical staining these are cd34(-), however with strong expression of cd117. they are weakly immunoreactive for myeloperoxidase, and are glycophorin negative. taken together, the findings are highly worrisome for disease relapse. . left ankle skin biopsy: the findings of multiple intraepidermal vesicles with foci of reticular degeneration are suggestive of a viral infection, including those in the picornavirus family including virus. no definitive viral inclusions are observed. the subepidermal cleft may be due to prior interface change. a few neutrophils are observed in the epidermis, however, well formed pustules are not observed. there is minimal dermal inflammation. the findings favor a viral infection, however, an unusual finding is the degree of dysmaturation. while this may be a viral effect, due to the dysmaturation an underlying component of graft versus host disease (with a superimposed viral infection) cannot be excluded. gvhd may show subepidermal blisters and dysmaturation, however, the degree of intraepidermal vesicles would be unusual for gvhd alone and this finding favors a component of a viral infection. special stains (pas and gram) are negative for fungus and bacteria. . bone marrow biopsy: pending ................................................................ imaging: ct chest/abd/pelvis w/o con: 1. near-complete resolution of previously noted right lower lobe consolidation with some residual scarring. 2. resolution of previously noted sigmoid diverticulitis. 3. status post cholecystectomy. . ruq u/s: normal doppler ultrasound of the liver. prior cholecystectomy with no focal liver lesion or evidence of biliary obstruction. . ct head w/o con: 1. no intracranial hemorrhage. 2. old infarct in the right aca-mca watershed region. 3. right maxillary sinus mucus-retention cyst. . ct chest/abd/pelvis w/o con: 1. limited study without iv or oral contrast. 2. trace left pleural effusion. no evidence of pneumonia. 3. no free air, free fluid, or fluid collection in the intra-abdominal cavity. 4. interval development of "" mesentery, nonspecific, could be seen in patients with lymphoma, or in the appropriate clinical context, could represent mesenteric panniculitis. . v/q scan: matched perfusion and ventilation defect in the medial left lung base. low likelihood ratio for recent pulmonary embolism. . ct chest/abd/pelvis w/ con: 1. no evidence of infection on this ct scan. 2. mesentery previously seen on is no longer visualized on this study. . ct head w/o con: no evidence of acute intracranial abnormalities. . mri head w/o con: multiple scattered foci of flair hyperintensity involving predominantly cortical matter of the bilateral hemispheres, some of which demonstrate slow diffusion without significant mass effect or hemorrhage. these may represent changes related to encephalitis, encephalopathy, inflammatory/infectious etiology, subacute infarcts, less likely neoplastic involvement or related to medications used. evaluation of these findings is somewhat limited without intravenous contrast. . gu ultrasound: 1. thickened bladder wall, though it is not fully distended and therefore not fully evaluated, with bilateral mild pelvocaliectasis which may be mildly increased on the right from the previous ultrasound of . 2. there are no stones. brief hospital course: mrs. is a 53 year old woman with aml who was admitted on for matched unrelated allogeneic stem cell transplant with busulfan/cytoxan conditioning. hospital course was complicated by graft failure + gvhd, hhv-6 encephalitis, thrombotic microangiopathy, and numerous electrolyte abnormalities accompanied by acute kidney injury, as well as intense allodynia and pruritus. # icu stay: ms. was transferred to the icu on for hypotension. gram negative rods grew from her blood on that same day. she was given a total of 17 liters of fluid overnight as well as 4 units of prbcs and maximum bp support with 4 pressors maxed out (neo, levo, vasopressin, and epinephrine) and despite these measures her pressures remained in the 60s-80s systolic. she had increased work of breathing and began to desaturate on non-rebreather. she was intubated for respiratory distress. multiple phone calls and meetings were held with her husband and her primary team (hematology/oncology) and it was decided to make her cmo after maximal attempts to support her through her septic shock. after withdrawal of pressors and extubation, she passed peacefully within a few minutes. much of the rest of the hospital course is described below. . # aml and mud allo-sct graft issues: patient received an mud allo sct on . after reaching anc of 0, she was engrafting well until around 25-30 days s/p transplant when her ancs began to drop. initial concern was with hhv-6 infection/marrow gvhd/cyclosporine causing graft failure. foscarnet was started for hhv-6, the cyclosporine was discontinued, and steroids were increased, and ancs started rising again. the cyclosprine was later restarted but ancs again dropped, so the cyclosporine was again discontinued. she developed skin gvhd, so she was started on a low dose of tacrolimus, uptitrated to therapeutic doses with subsequent downtitration of her steroids. she was given pentamidine for pcp (unable to give bactrim considering ). she also received weekly checks for cmv vl, b-glucan, galactomannan, and hhv-6 vl after her acute infection. around day +68 she was noted to have increased peripheral blasts. she reached a peak absolute blast count of xxxxx. a bone marrow biopsy on was consistent with relapsed leukemia (chimerism showed increase to 45% recipient, 55% donor) so the tacrolimus was tapered and then stopped. prednisone was tapered as well. the patient was treated with 5 days of dacogen. her blast count continued to rise. she was treated with a cycle of mec followed by donor lymphocyte infusion. . # hhv-6 viral encephalitis: patient was noted to have altered mental status, and hhv-6 pcr returned at >1,000,000 on with csf also positive for hhv-6. she completed a 17-day course of foscarnet from and her mental status gradually returned to baseline. however, peripheral blood from revealed 15,230 copies of hhv-6 dna. the foscarnet was restarted on but was stopped on due to worsening . she remained clinically asymptomatic so the foscarnet was not restarted. . # febrile neutropenia: hospital course was complicated by febrile neutropenia with temperatures up to 105f. infectious disease was consulted and her antibiotics were changed multiple times and included aztreonam, ciprofloxacin, metronidazole iv, vancomycin iv and po, and micafungin. due to concern for nephrotoxicity and after being afebrile for a prolonged period of time, her antibiotics were gradually discontinued, with the exception fungal prophylaxis. after mec therapy (in peri-dli period) she again developed febrile neutropenia. she was started on cefepime after which she defervesced. she was then noted to have a vre uti and daptomycin was started. she was afebrile for many days until she spiked once again with new abdominal pain . # rash: patient developed a diffuse erythematous rash after starting daptomycin, which did not resolve following discontinuation. a biopsy of her left leg on was suggestive of gvhd so she was started on systemic and topical steroids. the rash initially improved, but again worsened despite steroids and there was concern that it was virally mediated considering her hhv-6 viremia. however, a repeat skin biopsy on was again suggestive of gvhd vs. a drug reaction. she later developed vesicles on her palms and soles and a biopsy on was suggestive of gvhd with a superimposed viral infection, likely virus. the skin gvhd was managed with iv and then po steroid as well as topical clobetasol. her skin worsened again, so tacrolimus and prednisone were weaned out of concern for worsening viral infection, perhaps or hhv-6. this initially improved her rash. however, after dli her rash acutely worsened and became quite weepy with several areas of skin breakdown and the sensation of an acute burn, suggesting a gvh picture. . # hyperesthesias/pruritis/allodynia: the patient reported diffuse itching and burning with allodynia. ct spine was unremarkable. dermatology and neurology were consulted, but did not feel that her symptoms were related to the hhv-6 or gvhd. she was treated with various medications including benadryl, hydroxyzine, and olanzapine with some improvement in her symptoms. . # thrombotic microangiopathy and frank hemolysis: around the time that the hhv-6 infection was detected, she began to show evidence of hemolytic anemia with low haptoglobin, high direct bili, high ldh, and . considering the anemia, thrombocytopenia, , and mental status changes, it was felt that ttp-hus had developed, likely secondary to the hhv-6 infection. an adamts-13 evaluation was sent, which was normal. as the hhv-6 was treated, these abnormalities resolved. . # hematuria: it was believed to be due to both bk virus in the urine and thrombotic microangiopathy. resolved with tapering of immunosuppression. . # : believed to be multifactorial, including the foscarnet, zosyn, vancomycin, ttp-hus, and bk virus detected in the urine. the resolved with discontinuation of these medications and resolution of ttp-hus. however, after restarting the foscarnet her kidney function again declined so the foscarnet was again stopped. with gentle hydration her cr improved to 1.3. . # hypernatremia/hyperglycemia: secondary to partial di and free water deficit. the sodium concentration in her tpn was decreased and she was started on d5w to correct her water deficit, which exacerbated her hyperglycemia. an osmotic diuresis due to elevated glucose may have also been contributing to this hypernatremia, so aggressive control of glucose was made a priority with the addition of lantus and an iss. . # hypertension: with only metoprolol on board, she developed htn in the setting of thrombocytopenia. it was also believed to be exacerbated by the cyclosporine and steroids. nifedipine was added and the cyclosporine was discontinued, and her bp was well controlled. eventually her nifedipine was able to be stopped and blood pressure was well controlled prior to discharge. . # diarrhea: patient had ongoing diarrhea throughout this admission, though repeated stool cultures including c.diff were all negative. considering her numerous antibiotics, she was started on po vancomycin which was later changed to prophylactic dosing. the diarrhea eventually resolved and the po vancomycin was discontinued. . # nutrition: patient struggled with nausea throughout the entire admission and initally had poor po intake, so she was started on tpn on which was eventually stopped when she was able to tolerate po intake. medications on admission: 1. acyclovir 400 mg q8h 2.

history of symptomatic severe aortic stenosis. on hd 1 he underwent percutaneous placement of a 29 mm corevalve percutaneous aortic valve. aortography demonstrated mild aortic regurgitation (1+), and trans-esophageal echocardiography showed mild (1+) paravalvular aortic regurgitation. he tolerated the procedure well and was successfully extubated shortly after transfer to the ccu. echocardiogram performed prior to discharge indicated that corevalve prosthesis was in place and well sealed with normal leaflet/disc motion and transvalvular gradients. no aortic regurgitation is seen. ef was <55%. all of the appropriate labs and studies for corevalve study were performed. . # rhythm- the patients pre-op ekg demonstrated a native rbbb, and given the risk of post procedure conduction abnormalities a temporary pacemaker was placed. he did not develop complete heart block and so temporary pacemaker was removed on hd3/pod2. telemetry noted pauses while patient was sleeping with appropriate chronotropic response while awake. additionally he was noted to have bradycardia to the low 30s with some dizziness and nausea. this was felt to be due to vagal response to nausea but the patient was transferred back to the ccu for further monitoring. ep evaluated the patient and felt that pt needed pacemaker. a single chamber pacemaker was placed on and pt tolerated procedure well. at time of discharge pt had ecg showing rate controlled afib and rbbb. his home propafenone, digoxin and beta blockage were discontinued and pt was started on dabigatran 75mg by mouth twice daily for anticoagulation. he was discharged on three days of keflex post pacemaker placement. . # chronic diastolic dysfunction: patient appeared euvolemic on admission. his weight was monitored throughout

the previous tracing st-t wave changes are new. . eeg : continuous eeg: the background was slightly slow reaching a maximum of 7 hz. there were no clear epileptiform discharges or electrographic seizures noted. spike detection programs: there were 91 entries in these files. these represented electrical and muscle artifact. seizure detection programs: there were three entries in these files. these represented electrical and movement artifact. pushbutton activations: there were no entries in these files. sleep: there was no clear sleep architecture noted in the record. cardiac monitor: showed a generally regular rhythm with an average rate of 90 bpm. impression: this is an abnormal video eeg telemetry due to the presence of a slow background which reached a maximum of 7 hz. this represents a mild encephalopathy such as can be seen in toxic/metabolic, diffuse ischemic, or infectious etiologies. there were no clear epileptiform discharges or electrographic seizures noted. . eeg

degree of generalised cerebral atrophy advanced for age. . cxr : findings: in comparison with the study of and , there is some continued opacification in the retrocardiac region medially, concerning for pneumonia. the right picc line now extends to the region of the mid portion of the svc. . cxr : cardiac size is top normal. right picc tip is in the mid svc in unchanged position. retrocardiac opacity has improved consistent with improving atelectases. the right lower lobe opacity consistent with atelectases is unchanged. there is no pneumothorax or pleural effusion. . egd/colonoscopy biopsies: intestinal mucosal biopsies, three: a. duodenum: chronic active duodenitis with prominent increase in subepithelial collagen, surface epithelial damage, and subtotal villous shortening, see note. b. terminal ileum: small intestinal mucosa with largely denuded epithelium and increased subepithelial collagen, see note. c. random colon: 1. colonic mucosa with increased lamina propria chronic inflammation, surface epithelial damage, and increased intraepithelial lymphocytes, see note. 2. no appreciable increase in subepithelial collagen noted on h&e stained sections. note: in evaluable epithelium in the duodenal and terminal ileal biopsies, there is additionally a prominent increase in intraepithelial lymphocytes. the findings are consistent with a collagenous enteritis with concurrent microscopic (lymphocytic) colitis. these entities are known to co-exist in a rare subgroup of patients and show marked clinical response to steroid therapy. no microorganisms or viral cytopathic effect are seen. special stains to rule out possible co-existing infection and to confirm the presence of increased subepithelial collagen will be reported in an addendum. preliminary findings discussed with dr. on by dr. . addendum # 1: trichrome stain highlights a diffuse, markedly increased subepithelial collagen layer thickness in both the duodenal and ileal mucosal biopsies, while showing a patchy increase in the colonic mucosal biopsies. this supports a diagnosis of collagenous enterocolitis. red stain is negative for amyloid deposition in the duodenal biopsy with satisfactory control. giemsa stain reveals no microorganisms in the small intestinal biopsies with satisfactory control. brief hospital course: 49 y/o female with a history of seizure disorder, iddm, hypertension, alcohol abuse, initially presented with persistent, profuse, non-bloody diarrhea, biopsies consistent with collagenous colitis, course complicated by icu transfer for unresponsiveness and altered mental status, likely a post-ictal state from subclinical seizure. . #. collagenous enterocolitis: initially, etiology of patient's diarrhea was thought to be infectious and stool studies indicated a secretory process. she was started on cipro/flagyl and supported with ivfs for dehydration and electrolyte repletion as needed. initial stool studies were negative for infection and c. diff, and stool study results were obtained from duke, which were also negative. her diarrhea continued to be profuse, about 4-5 l/day. ciprofloxacin was discontinued during her icu course due to increase risk of seziures (see below). c. diff pcr and toxin were negative, although patient was continued on flagyl. gi was consulted, and recommended exploring other etiologies of secretory diarrhea, including sending tests for neuroendocrine tumors. (these tests were pending at the time of discharge). egd and colonoscopy was performed and showed no evidence of pseudomembranous colitis, thus flagyl was discontinued. biopsies showed findings consistent with microscopic colitis, and stains conformed the diagnosis of collagenous colitis. patient was started on budesonide 9 mg per day on andwill continue until her appointment with gastroenterology. patient's diarrhea began to decrease with the help of lomotil qid. . #. altered mental status/seizure: patient has a history of seziures controlled on depakote 1000 mg ; she had not been taking this med several days prior to admission due to poor po intake. patient's mental status began to change on hospital day #4. she became increasingly somnolent, was unresponsive. labs showed a worsening nag acidosis and an abg showed 7.33/23/100 with lactate of 1.1. she had no meningeal signs, was afebrile, serum tox negative. due to her history of seziures, and the fact that she had been off her po depakote, neurology recommended giving 1 mg ativan to treat possible seizure. she subsequently became more somnolent and was transferred to the micu. in the icu, 24 hour eeg only showed slow-wave activity, consistent with toxic/metabolic encephalopathy or post-ictal state. head ct and mri were both negative. vanc/ceftriaxone and acyclovir were started for emperic coverage of cns infection. lp was attempted but unsuccessful x 3. patient was transferred abck to the floor stable, but still somnolent. acyclovir was discontinued as viral encephalitis was unlikely. vanc/ceftriaxone was continued for treatment of hospital-acquired pneumonia (see below). her mental status began to clear and patient became more responsive over the next several days. she was maintained on iv depakote and dose was adjusted based on trough levels. once she able to tolerate pos, she was transitioned to po depakote at home dose without complications. she will have her valproate levels checked on with results faxed to dr. . her altered mental status was likely due to a prolonged post-ictal state after a subclinical seizure secondary to patient being off depakote for several days. by discharge, her mental status had cleared and she was interative and back to her baseline. . #. nutritional status: patient's albumin prior to discharge was 1.7, likely secondary to poor intake. the low albumin also caused diffuse edema and thrid spacing from massive ivf hydration over the past several weeks, which made the patient uncomfortable. nutrition was consulted and recommended that patient drink supplemetal formulas along with full po diet to increase protein intake to ultimately raise the albumin. as per gi she should be on a gluten free diet. . #. schizophrenia: on admission, patient had not been taking clozapine for several days. her dose was held through most of her admission as she was not able to tolerate pos. psych recommended starting at 12.5 mg once a day and slowly titrating up to patient's home dose. one 12.5 mg dose was administered; however, the patient became orthostatic, and subsequent doses were held. her clozaril was held prior to discharge and will discuss restarting during her follow up appointment with . . #. hypertension: lisinopril was held during patient's admission due to dehydration and labile blood pressures. she should discuss restarting lisinopril during her primary care appointment. . #. iddm: patinet's lantus was halved to 5 units qhs as she was not tolerating pos and sugars were maintained on an iss during admission. medications on admission: omeprazole 20 mg cap, delayed release 1 capsule(s) by mouth daily divalproex 500 mg tab, delayed release 2 tablet(s) by mouth twice daily clozapine 100 mg tab 3 tablet(s) by mouth daily at bedtime multivitamin tab 1 tablet(s) by mouth daily folic acid 1 mg tab 1 tablet(s) by mouth daily lantus 100 unit/ml subq cartridge subcutaneous 16-18 units cartridge(s) q pm glipizide 5 mg tab oral 1 tablet(s) once daily, in am lomotil 2.5 mg-0.025 mg tab oral 1 tablet(s) , as needed lisinopril 5 mg tab oral 1 tablet(s) once daily vitamin b-1 100 mg tab oral 1 tablet(s) once daily discharge medications: 1. divalproex 500 mg tablet, delayed release (e.c.) sig: two (2) tablet, delayed release (e.c.) po bid (2 times a day). 2. omeprazole 20 mg capsule, delayed release(e.c.) sig: one (1) capsule, delayed release(e.c.) po daily (daily). 3. multivitamin tablet sig: one (1) tablet po once a day. 4. lantus 100 unit/ml cartridge sig: 16-18 units subcutaneous at bedtime. 5. glipizide 5 mg tablet sig: one (1) tablet po once a day. 6. outpatient lab work please check valproate level and fax results to dr.

angiogram history of present illness: this 69 year old white male with a history of coronary stents x2 was admitted with substernal chest pain for 3 days. he described it as sharp with acute onset epigastric pain after dinner 3 days ago, worse on lying in bed, improved with sitting up and patient has thus been sleeping in a recliner. the pain resolved after 30 minutes and improved with tums. he has had 2 subsequent episodes of chest pain not clearly associated with eating, but denies any shortness of breath, or association with exercise.no nausea/vomiting, diaphoresis. shortly after arrival to the ed his pain resolved and he has been angina free since. on ros he complains of dyspnea deconditioning following fall between truck and dock 2 years ago with fracturing of l leg. he is able to walk mile or two flights of stairs before experiencing shortness of breath. he denies any orthopnea, pnd, syncope, or palpitations. he also reports left greater than right lower extremity edema since his leg fracture and surgery. the edema is worse in the evening and greatly improved in the am. he denies any claudication symptoms but has night time leg cramps. . on general review of systems, he denies any prior history of stroke, tia, deep venous thrombosis, pulmonary embolism, bleeding at the time of surgery, myalgias, joint pains, cough, hemoptysis, black stools or red stools. s/he denies recent fevers, chills or rigors.he denies exertional buttock or calf pain. . in the ed: the patient was chest pain free. ekg revealed st depression ii, v-6, st elevation v-1, t wave inversion v2 v3,

atrial fibrillation. conclusions the left atrium is mildly dilated. there is mild symmetric left ventricular hypertrophy. the left ventricular cavity size is top normal/borderline dilated. there is severe regional left ventricular systolic dysfunction with severe hypokinesis of the entire ventricle with the exception of the basal inferior, inferolateral and anterolateral walls.. the aortic valve leaflets (3) are mildly thickened but aortic stenosis is not present. the mitral valve leaflets are mildly thickened. there is no mitral valve prolapse. the pulmonary artery systolic pressure could not be determined. there is a small pericardial effusion. the effusion is echo dense, consistent with blood, inflammation or other cellular elements. the effusion appears loculated. impression: suboptimal image quality. small loculated pericardial effusion adjacent to the inferolateral wall with no evidence of tamponade. severely depressed left ventricular function. compared with the prior study (images reviewed) of , left ventricular systolic function is similar. the pericardial effusion is slightly larger. the right ventricle is not well-visualized. brief hospital course: following admission he had recurrent angina and heparin was started. enzymes peaked, then fell and he remained stable. catheterization was performed, which revealed triple vessel disease, and elevated lvedp. no ventriculogram was performed given his renal dysfunction.he was referred for cardiac surgical evaluation. echocardiography demonstrated an ef of 20-25%, with mild pulmonary hypertension. on he went to the operating room where quadruple bypass grafts were performed. he had elevated pa pressures, with hyperexpanded lungs. he weaned from bypass on propofol, neosynephrine and milrinone with stable hemodynamics. he developed rapid atrial fibrillation associated with unstable hemodynamics the night after surgery and amiodarone was begun with restoration of sinus rhythm. he had a significant amount of peripheral edema and wheezing with fluid overload which was treated with bronchodilators and diuresis. captopril was begun on pod 3 for afterload reduction as his milrinone was discontinued. recurrent atrial fibrillation developed and amiodarone was reloaded and oral begun. he has an "allergy" to lisinopril noted, which was actually hyperkalemia, not a true allergy. potassium levels were monitored closely after the ace-i was begun. coumadin was started for atrial fibrillation. his chest tubes were removed on pod 1, and a lasix drip instituted on pod 3 to facilitate a gentle, consistent diuresis. his respiratory status improved considerably after a day of lasix infusion, despite worsening of the cxr. his oxygen requirement fell and his physical exam improved. on pod 3, he went into vf which required cpr and cardioversion. dr. was consulted. a cardiac cath was recommended which revealed all graft to be patent. an icd was subsequently placed. he was placed on keflex for serosanguinous sternal incision drainage which was minimal at the times of discharge. he had no sternal click and no sternal erythema on his discharge exam. on post-operative day thirteen he was discharged to rehab per dr. . all follow-up appointments were advised. medications on admission: actos 30 mg once daily atenolol 25 mg once daily flomax 0.4 mg once daily lasix 20 mg po twice daily

1. somewhat nodular in contour liver, suggesting underlying cirrhosis. nonspecific hypodensities at the dome of the right lobe are noted. given possible underlying cirrhosis, these should be evaluated with mri nonemergently to exclude malignancy. 2. large stone in the gallbladder, as well as air seen within the common duct and gallbladder neck. if there is no history of prior sphincterotomy, this is concerning for biliary-enteric fistula. possible fistulous connection is identified on coronal images (300b:22-23). 3. diffuse dilation of fluid-filled proximal small bowel measuring nearly 4 cm, with relative collapse of the terminal ileum and distal ileum. this is suggestive of early versus partial small-bowel obstruction, though no definite transition point is identified. 4. consolidation at the right lung base, likely atelectasis or aspiration. however, followup imaging following resolution of acute illness to exclude underlying lesion is recommended. 5. ivc filter is identified in adequate position. 6. delayed contrast excretion by the kidneys bilaterally, compatible with known renal failure. ct head 1. no evidence of global cerebral edema. 2. persistent 2 mm hyperdense focus in the left frontal lobe at the -white matter junction, which may represent a cavernoma, or a tiny focus of acute hemorrhage which could be related to a small mass. in the absence of associated focal edema, a septic embolus is less likely. consider further evaluation by mri with and without contrast. 3. large left parietal extraaxial mass, presumably a meningioma, with calvarial irregularity, as

presenting to ed with altered mental status found to have encephalopathy, jaundice, transaminitis, acute renal failure. his initial presentation was concerning for fulminant hepatic failure and transplant workup was initiated. however, inr of 20 improved dramatically with vitamin k and was felt to be secondary to coumadin. he also had ct which showed acute calculous cholecystitis and is s/p percutaneous cholecystostomy. he grew pan sensitive e coli from his blood cultures and his bile grew ecoli, serratia, clostridium perfringens and bacterioides fragilis. he was treated with cipro and flagyl and will follow up with surgery with plan for cholecystectomy. # cholecystits with ecoli bacteremia he will continue cipro flagyl until surgery. percutaneous drain capped on at 8am. **if febrile, recommend uncapping drain.** # hyperbilirubinemia abscence of biliary dilation or obstruction and size of gallstone fits with mirizzi syndrome. he may also have had an element of cholestasis of sepsis. bilirubin trending down. **we have recommended to the surgeons a liver biopsy at time of cholecystectomy to rule out intrinsic disease.** # acute renal failure creatinine 7.3 on admission

endotracheal tube in proper position. 2. nasogastric tube with side port at the gastroesophageal junction. could be advanced several centimeters for proper positioning. cta head: impression: 1. bilobed 11 x 7 mm aneurysm arising from the left m1/m2 junction, the likely source of the large left frontal intraparenchymal hematoma with extensive neighboring subarachnoid and subdural blood products. 2. moderate right word subfalcine herniation. 3. moderate suprasellar and mild quadrigeminal cistern effacement, concerning for early uncal/transtentorial herniation. 4. right frontal approach ventriculostomy catheter terminating in the approximate region of the third ventricle. cerebral angiogram: impression: underwent cerebral angiography, which revealed an aneurysm of the left middle cerebral artery that was coiled subtotally. since her exam was poor, at some point, she will be brought back to finish this if she makes a satisfactory recovery. cxr: an ng tube is present, the tip extends beneath the diaphragm and overlies the lower mid abdomen, question within distended stomach. the lung bases are grossly clear. the sideport lies in the left mid abdomen, again, likely in a distended stomach. right upper quadrant surgical clips noted. ct head: impression: 1. interval left frontal craniectomy with improved but persistent rightward shift of normally midline structures and mild effacement of the basal cisterns on the left. 2. increased density of large left parenchymal and extensive bilateral subarachnoid hemorrhage, likely secondary to interval administration of contrast and additional extravasation. 3. external ventricular drain catheter terminates below the left lateral ventricle, with tip possibly outside the ventricular system. eeg: *** pending ct head: impression: status post left frontal craniectomy and ventriculostomy drain retraction, stable appearance of left intraparenchymal and bilateral subarachnoid hemorrhage with mild improvement of midline shift, but persisting sulcal and ventricular effacement. eeg: ***pending cxr: findings: endotracheal tube has been advanced slightly, now terminating about 2.5 cm above the carina. central venous catheter has apparently been slightly withdrawn since previous study with tip now at or just below the cavoatrial junction. cardiomediastinal contours are within normal limits. appearance of the lungs is essentially unchanged except for slight obscuration of a small portion of the peripheral right hemidiaphragm. it is uncertain whether this represents a focal area of right basilar atelectasis or consolidation, or if it reflects a newly developed small right pleural effusion. attention to this area on followup radiograph may be helpful in this regard. ct head: impression: status post left frontal craniectomy and ventriculostomy with persistent large parenchymal and subarachnoid hemorrhage causing increased hmass effect. the tip of the evd in the frontal of the left lateral ventricle, which is being compressed by adjacent mass effect. eeg: ***pending echo: the left atrium is normal in size. left ventricular wall thickness, cavity size and regional/global systolic function are normal (lvef >55%). doppler parameters are indeterminate for left ventricular diastolic function. 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. the mitral valve leaflets are elongated. trivial mitral regurgitation is seen. there is borderline pulmonary artery systolic hypertension. there is no pericardial effusion. impression: normal regional and global biventricular systolic function. indeterminate diastolic function. no pathologic valvular abnormalities. cxr: findings: as compared to the previous radiograph, there is no relevant change. monitoring and support devices are constant. no change in appearance of the lung parenchyma and the cardiac silhouette. a previously seen blunting of the lateral aspect of the right diaphragmatic contour is no longer present. eeg: impression: this is an abnormal continuous icu monitoring study because of severe diffuse encephalopathy and interhemispheric asymmetry suggesting greater left hemisphere pathology and particularly greater left mid to posterior temporal pathology. there continues to be multifocal independent interictal epileptic activity predominantly over the right central and temporal regions with rare discharges over the left hemisphere. compared to the prior day's recording, there is worsening encephalopathy and worsening left temporal cerebral dysfunction noted in this recording. cxr: findings: in comparison with study of , there is poor definition of the hemidiaphragms, especially on the right, consistent with small layering effusions and compressive atelectasis at the bases. no evidence of vascular congestion. the tip of the endotracheal tube measures approximately 4.8 cm above the carina. nasogastric tube and left central catheter are unchanged in position. cta: impression: 1. minimal vasospasm of the m1 segment of the left mca proximal to the coil. the distal opercular branches are patent. there is no vascular occlusion. 2. stable intraparenchymal and subarachnoid hemorrhage involving the left temporal and frontal lobes with no change in the mass effect from the prior study. no evidence of herniation. eeg: impression: this is an abnormal continuous icu monitoring study because of a severe diffuse encephalopathy with a burst and burst suppressive pattern and asymmetric attenuation of voltage over the left temporal region and, to a lesser degree, left central region. there were no clear electrographic seizures and only a few potential interictal discharges identified. cxr: the et tube tip is 4.3 cm above the carina. the ng tube tip is in the stomach. heart size and mediastinum are unremarkable. there is small amount of bilateral pleural effusion, unchanged since the prior study with no evidence of interval development of pneumothorax or pulmonary edema. right midline tip is at the level of mid portion of right subclavian artery. ct head: little change in comparison to prior study from the day before with stable appearance of large left fronto-temporal intraparenchymal hemorrhage and foci of subarachnoid hemorrhage with continued rightward mass effect. continued followup is recommended. cxr: as compared to the previous radiograph, there is no relevant change. the monitoring and support devices are constant. normal size of the cardiac silhouette. no overt pulmonary edema. no larger pleural effusions. no evidence of pneumonia. no pneumothorax. ct/cta head: 1. unchanged intraparenchymal and subarachnoid hemorrhage involving the left temporal and frontal lobes as described in detail above, with similar pattern of mass effect and edema. there is no evidence of herniation or new areas of hemorrhage. 2. interval improvement in the vasospasm involving the m1 segment of the left middle cerebral artery as described in detail above, there is no vascular occlusion, the examination is partially limited due to streak artifact and coiled material, obscuring the vascular anatomical details, however, the distal opercular branches are patent. brief hospital course: this is a 74 year old female who was diagnosed with a left mca aneurysm one week ago. the patient presented with complaints of headache and became aphasic.she initially presented to an outside hospital where her mental statuss decreased and she was intubated. a ct head showed subarachnoid hemorhage and she was transferred to for further evaluation. on transport her left pupil became fixed and dilated. she received 3% nacl. her sbp was labile and noted to be 200 on transport. the patient was admitted on to the intensive care unit. gram mannitol was given a external ventricular drain placed in emergency department.\ on , the external ventricular drain pulled back 1cm and the evd was patent and still draining. the patient was given a 500cc iv bolus for hypotension. following the iv bolus the sbp in 90s. on , the external ventricualr drain dropped to 10 to increase cerebral perfusion. intercranial pressures were elevated at 22-24. teh drain was not draining. a nchct was performed which was consistent with increase in mass effect, ventricular compression and midline shift. on , the evd was open at 10 icp 8-12. the patient was paralyzed and cooled to decrease icps.the patient's pupils were reactive- there was no movement in the extremities given sedation and parylytic medication. in the afternoon the patient was rewarmed given the normal icps. a family meeting was held with the two daughters to review images and update the family on the patients status. on , patient remained on paralyzed overnight into the am. pupils were 2 and reactive. cta of her head was done which showed mild narrowing of the m1, but all vessels were patent. tcds also show no vasospasm. her icps were stable at 15. eeg read shows worsening encephalopathy, but no further seizure activity. on her neurological exam was stable. upon further review of her cta and in comparison with her tcd's, it was decided to undergo cerebral angiography for closer assessment for vasospasm. there was vessel narrowing noted in the left mca therefore angioplasty was performed without complication. ivf's were increased and she was given 2 units of prbc's for a hct of 23. on patient started developing increased intracranial pressures, her icps were in the high 20s. her sedation was increased and she was cooled and placed on paralytics. tcds revealed mild to moderated spasm in the right mca; to counter pervent further spasm she was started on a presser to elevate her blood pressure to the 150s. head ct was performed and stable. she was noted to have a likely cushings response when her heart rate began dropping into the 40's. she also had increased urine output which was concerning for d.i. at about 9pm neurosurgery was called to the patient's bedside per the families request. a discussion was held and questions regarding the patient's current medical status and outcome were asked. the patient's 2 daughters and son were present and decided to make her cmo at this time. this was discussed with dr. and dr. . it was decided that we would rewarm her to 35 degrees and then shut off the paralytics. when the paralytics wore off and she was >36 degrees she was extubated. patient passed at 10:04 am on . medications on admission: unknown discharge medications: n/a discharge disposition: expired discharge diagnosis: l mca

allergies: no known allergies / adverse drug reactions attending: chief complaint: post operative bleeding. major surgical or invasive procedure: sinus washout. reexploration of the sinuses with anterior and posterior packing. history of present illness: 55 yo male with history of hepatitis c cirrhosis, dm, sleep apnea, and chronic sinusitis here for sinus clean out prior to an experimental hep c trial. his ct guided sinus surgery was complete when the surgeons noticed oozing at diffuse mucosal surfaces which did not appear to be from any specific vessels. they placed packing in the anterior nares with some resolution of his bleeding. he was about to be woken up and extubated, when there was an accidental extubation while the patient was still under sedation. an airway emergency was called. his oral cavity was suctioned with continued oozing noticed in the oropharynx. there was concern for aspiration. it took multiple attempts but he was successfully reintubated. blood was noted in the ett. once more alert, he was extubated, and was doing well satting 99% on shovel mask. however, he had continued oozing at the front of his packing, pacu. he was given a unit of platelet with better control of his bleeding for the next hour. cxr was clear and ekg was normal. he was hemodynamically stable during this time with pacu vitals of 143/76 71 19 98% ra. labs revealed an inr of 1.4 so he was given 1 unit of ffp. in the pacu, the patient noted intermittent dizzy spells while sitting up so he was given 1 unit of prbc's. in addition, he received 1700cc crystalloid, with 400cc of uop. he denied cp, sob, palpitations, nausea, vomiting, or abdominal pain at that time. . ent came to reevaluate the patient and brought him back to the or to look for the site of bleeding. he underwent bilateral sinus exploration which did not identify source of bleeding, but rather only oozing from his nasal mucosa. anterior and posterior packing with foley catheters was performed. the catheters were inserted, balloon inflated, and then pulled forward with tension. his anterior nasal cavity was packed with anterioform gauze that was covered with vaseline. clamps were placed to hold the foleys in place. during the procedure, he was noted to have high pip's, and was subsequently given an extra large dose of a paralytic . as a result, he was kept intubated overnight, with a plan to extubate in the morning. . on the floor, patient was intubated and sedated. . review of systems: unable to report while sedated. past medical history: hepatitis c cirrhosis diabetes mellitus chronic

cirrhosis, diabetes, htn, and chronic sinusitis that underwent s/p sinus wash out with post operative bleeding from the nasal mucosa. hospital course complicated by prolonged course of delirium that resolved. active issues: # post operative bleeding: likely a result of bleeding from his posterior nasopharynx in a patient with a coagulopathy from hepatic dysfunction. his bleeding was stabilized with anterior and posterior packing. he was hemodynamically stable in the icu. no further bleeding once brought out to the floor. # acute toxic metabolic encephalopathy: following extubation, the patient had a prolonged (~2 days) period of delirium with marked obtundation and episodes of significant agitation, requiring chemical and physical restraints. his delirium was felt secondary to either delayed clearance of his anesthetics vs fever. he was seen by psychiatry, who did not feel that the delirium was due to venlafaxine withdrawal. he was placed on a precedex infusion with subsequent clearing. he was awake, alert and interactive on , his day of transfer to the medical floor. the patients mental status improved through discharge and was at his baseline on . # fever likely from aspiration pna/pneumonitis: the patient had fevers around the time of his extubation, and was started on broad spectrum antibiotics to treat hcap, due to his high aspiration risk and small lower lobe opacities on chest x-ray. the pt was treated empirically with vanc/zosyn for 4 days and was transitioned to bactrim ds . this was continued for a planned 13 more days to cover both mrsa aspiration pna (per sputum cx on ) and for mrsa chronic sinusitis. # hepatitis c cirrhosis: history of grade varices on beta blockade. wife unsure if patient currently taking peg interferon,

dear ms , it was a pleasure caring for you during your recent admission to . you were admitted because of bleed from your gastrointestinal tract. you had become quite symptomatic from this, as evidenced by your worsened shortness of breath. we believe that your low blood counts caused some strain on your heart. you were given several units of red blood cells to improve your symptoms. a colonoscopy and esophagogastroduodenoscopy (egd) were performed. egd showed no cause for your bleeding. however, the colonoscopy showed a 5 centimeter mass in the right side of your colon as well as hemorrhoids, both of which were likely to have contributed to your bleeding. it is felt that resection of this mass would be an appropriate means of treatment. we still do not have the pathology results from the biopsy taken from the colon mass. however, these will be followed up in the outpatient setting with gastroenterology and colorectal surgery. plans for your future management will be made at that time. because of the strain caused on your heart, you will also be started on three new medications, a statin for your cholesterol, aspirin, and metoprolol to control your heart rate. all of your other medications should remain the same. followup instructions: name:, g. address: , , phone: fax: md Procedure: Other endoscopy of small intestine Closed [endoscopic] biopsy of large

with associated atelectasis. atelectasis within the lingula is additionally noted. an amorphous area low attenuation is identified within segment ivb of the liver. the liver is otherwise unremarkable. the gallbladder, spleen, pancreas, adrenal glands, and left kidney appear within normal limits. the kidneys enhance symmetrically and excrete contrast normally. a 3-cm low- attenuation lesion at the lower pole of the right kidney is consistent with a simple cyst. diffuse atherosclerotic disease of the infrarenal abdominal aorta is evident. there is thickening of the cecum and significant pericecal stranding of mesenteric fat. surgical clips at the site of appendectomy are noted. no evidence of abscess or loculated fluid. a small amount of free fluid in this area, which also tracks down into the pelvis is seen. although the distal ileum is not well distended with oral contrast, there is a suggestion of bowel wall thickening/edema and stranding of the surrounding mesenteric fat. no organized fluid collection is evident, however. there is no evidence of bowel obstruction as contrast has passed through to the rectum. there is no free air within the abdomen. although the colon is not distended, there is a suggestion of diffuse colonic wall thickening. . ct of the pelvis with iv contrast: the rectum, sigmoid colon, intrapelvic loops of small bowel are unremarkable. a foley balloon is present within a decompressed bladder. a small amount of free fluid is evident within the pelvis. small, bilateral fat-containing inguinal hernias are evident. osseous structures: there are no suspicious lytic or blastic lesions. impression: 1. inflammatory process appears to be centered in the ileocecal area at the site of recent appendectomy. no organized or drainable intra-abdominal fluid collection. assessment is somewhat limited by lack of distal ileal distention with oral contrast. a small amount of free fluid and scattered subjacent lymph nodes are additionally evident. 2. equivocal diffuse colonic wall thickening. this finding raises the possibility of colitis and and infectious process such as c. difficile should be considered. 3. small bilateral pleural effusions with associated atelectasis. . echocardiogram : the left atrium and right atrium are normal in cavity size. no atrial septal defect is seen by 2d or color doppler. the estimated right atrial pressure is 0-5 mmhg. left ventricular wall thicknesses and cavity size are normal. there is mild regional left ventricular systolic dysfunction with focal akinesis of the basal inferolateral wall and hypokinesis of the basal half of the inferior wall. there is minimal hypokinesis of the remaining segments (lvef = 45 %). the estimated cardiac index is normal (>=2.5l/min/m2). 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 (3) appear structurally normal with good leaflet excursion and no aortic regurgitation. the mitral valve appears structurally normal with trivial mitral regurgitation. the pulmonary artery systolic pressure could not be determined. there is a trivial/physiologic pericardial effusion. impression: mild regional left ventricular systolic dysfunction c/w ischemia. left pleural effusion. . ecg : normal sinus rhythm with t-wave inversions in leads iii, avf . pending studies at time of discharge: final blood cultures from (no growth to date) stool cultures, o&p from brief hospital course: 1. sepsis: mr. was transferred from an outside hospital with hypotension, on levophed with an elevated wbc count of 22.6 on admission. the source of infection was not clear on admission and differential included infection from recurrent abscesses at appendectomy site or c. diff colitis. other etiology considered was reaction to ct contrast. was started on vanocmycin, zosyn and flagyl in the micu. he remained hemodynamically stable and afebrile and levophed was stopped on the day of transfer for map>65, svo2 72, cvp 6 and good urine output. ct showed inflammation prior appendectomy site without fluid collection. surgery was consulted and did not recommend surgery. gastroenterology was consulted and recommended 48 hours of iv antibiotics for presumed gi infection, then 3 weeks of po antibiotics. cultures were obtained on from hospital and showed no growth to date of blood or urine cultures. blood and urine cultures collected at showed no growth to date. c. diff x 3 were negative. the patient continued to do well and was trasnferred to the general medical floor on . he was continued on iv antibiotics and then changed to po antibiotics on . he was put on ciprofloxacin 500mg po bid and metronidazole 500mg po tid and was discharged with 16 more days of antibiotics. he will follow-up with his pcp 1 week. another possible etiology for his symptoms that was considered was anaphylaxis from po contrast from the ct scan, although this was less likely given that he has had po contrast in the past without problems. we recommended that he see an allergist as an outpatient to assess the possibility of an allergic reaction to po contrast. . 2. nstemi the patient was found to have elevated cardiac enzymes with a ck of 133, ckmb 19, troponin t 0.29 and t-wave inversions in leads iii and avl. cardiology was called and thought this was likely rate-related demand ischemia in the setting of tachycardia due to sepsis physiology. cardiac enzymes trended down and follow-up ecgs showed no change. the patient's tachycardia improved with iv fluids and antibiotics. he was asymptomatic during his admission. he was put on telemetry and had no events or arrythmias. an echocardiogram showed global reduced function, ef 45% and focal akinesis of basal inferior wall. aspirin 325mg po qday and metoprolol 12.5mg po bid were started for nstemi. cardiology did not recommend heparin or anti-platelet agents. cardiology recommended a follow-up echo and cardiologist appointment within 4 weeks after his acute illness had resolved. the patient will have this scheduled with his primary care doctor. he remained asymptomatic with no chest pain or signs of clinical heart failure. . 3. eosinophilia the patient's wbcs trended down from admission from 22.6 to 11.8. he had 23% bands on admission which resolved by discharge. his eosinophil count was 0 on admission, however on he had 32% eosinophils, on had 38% eosinophils, and on had 36% eosinophils. this corresponds to an absolute eosinophil count of 3680 on , 4294 on , and 4248 on . he had no signs of drug reaction, no fevers, skin rashes or other symptoms. his diarrhea had improved over the course of admission but was still having bowel movements per day. his stool was checked for c. diff and was negative x 3. ova and parasites and fecal stool cultures were pending at the time of discharge. it was recommended that he see an allergist for discussion and testing for reaction to po contrast from the ct scan. . 4. diarrhea most likely etiology is antibiotic-associated as the patient has been on antibiotics off and on for the past several weeks. his diarrhea was at times watery, but improved through admission and was described as loose stool at the time of discharge. clostridium difficile was checked x 3 and was negative. he was discharged with cipro and flagyl for his antibiotic regimen. he will follow-up with his pcp with any further problems. his final stool cultures are still pending at the time of discharge. . 5. anxiety the patient was anxious during his hospitalization regarding his medical condition and etiology of his sepsis. he was given ativan 0.5mg prn for anxiety symptoms. he was given trazodone 25mg po qhs to help with sleep. . 6. prophylaxis mr. was given sc heparin for dvt prophylaxis. he was able to tolerate a regular diet on . . his symptoms improved and he was discharged with close pcp and instructions to follow-up with cardiology as arranged by his pcp. was also recommended to see an allergist on discharge for follow-up of this episode as a potential reaction to po contrast from the ct scan. medications on

code status: ms. was initially full code and all the measures below were taken. however after two family meetings, her daughter, was named as her healthcare proxy and her code status was changed to comfort measures only on . she was evaluated by hospice and admitted into inpatient hospice. it was decided that she would be receive a fentanyl patch daily and oxycodone as needed for breakthrough pain. her picc line and foley catheter were left in place. her family received teaching about managing her indwelling catheter prior to discharge. # hemoperitoneum: in the icu, she was transfused a total of 3 units of prbcs with hct increase from 25.1 to 32.4. due to concern for bleeding from her splenectomy bed, interventional radiology was consulted and recommended a repeat ct scan in arterial phase to identify potential vessels to embolize. on hospital day 2, after receiving renal-protective bicarb infusion given her cr 1.5, a cta abdomen showed no active extravasation. since a repeat hct was stable at 32.4 and 34.1, she was then transferred to the gynecologic oncology service where hct trended downwards overnight from 34.1 to 30.4 to a nadir of 27. as she was also tachycardic in the 100s and oliguric (10-20cc/hr), she was transfused 2 additional units of prbcs on hospital day 3. during transfusion, her tachycardia improved to the 90s and her urine output improved. her post-transfusion hct was appropriate at 32. however, her hematocrit still continued to trend downwards and per acs recommendations, we did order a tagged red cell scan, which showed no evidence of an acute bleed. we therefore transfused her 2 more units of blood for a hct of 25.7. her hct did not show an appropriate rise and was 27.8 and she received another unit of blood. labs were discontinued after her code status changed. # acute kidney injury: given her creatinine of 1.5 on admission, she received renal-protective bicarb infusion prior to her cta abdomen. after her cta abdomen, her creatinine increased from 1.1 to 1.8, and she was oliguric. a fena was 0.3% consistent with pre-renal acute kidney injury, likely caused by a combination of iv contrast and anemia. her urine output improved slightly and her creatinine decreased to 1.7 after her blood transfusion on hospital day 3. however, she continued to be oliguric (10-15cc/hr) on hospital day 4 with creatinine of 1.8, so she was bolused 500cc crystalloid and her urine output improved slightly. her urine output continued to average 10-20cc during the course of her stay. however, we stopped giving her boluses because there was concern that the fluids were adding to her left lung pleural effusion. urine output monitoring was stopped and her foley discontinued after her code status was changed. # pleural effusion: chest x-ray in the emergency room showed a new left-sided pleural effusion. she was maintained on nasal canula oxygen with acceptable oxygen saturations. given the inability to wean her from oxygen and dyspnea on exertion on hospital day 4, a repeat chest x-ray was performed which demonstrated a substantial l pleural effusion, compressive atelectasis, and low lung volumes. given her symptoms, interventional pulmonology was consulted. on hospital day 5, she underwent an uncomplicated left thoracentesis by interventional pulmonology, with 300cc of fluid removed. post-procedure chest x-ray desmonstrated no evidence of pneumothorax. after the thoracentesis, we attempted to wean her off the oxygen on hospital day 6. however, she had a desaturation to 85%/ra prompting an evaluation with ct scan to rule out a pulmonary embolism. given her poor kidney function and creatinine of 1.8, we pre-hydrated her with sodium bicarbonate to prevent worsening nephropathy. her cta showed acute pulmonary emboli in the right lung vasculature, new nodular opacity in righ apex concerning for early pneumonia. extensive metastatic disease in her abdomen and perihepatic ascites. she continued to require oxygen and was continued on this for comfort. # pulmonary embolism: lovenox 80mg sc daily was started after diagnosis of pulmonary embolism. it was discontinued after her code status was changed. # right apex pneumonia: given the fact that ms. was newly diagnosed with this while in house, it was treated as a hospital acquired infection with intravenous vancomycin, cefepime and levofloxacin. she did have a picc line placed because of her antibiotic requirement and for blood draws. the antibiotics were discontinued per her code status. # nausea: on hospital day 3, she had persistent nausea, for which she received iv zofran, phenergan, and ativan. her nausea then improved and she was able to tolerate small amounts of a regular diet. # e. coli uti: in the icu, she was started on bactrim due to a urinalysis with positive nitrites. on hospital day 4, her final urine culture returned showing e.coli resistant to bactrim. she was then started on ceftriaxone for her urinary tract infection. her final blood cultures were negative and her ceftriaxone was discontinued on # metastatic uterine carcinosarcoma: in the emergency room a ct abdomen/pelvis demonstrated enlarging complex ascites, hemorrhage without a clear source of bleeding, and rapid progression of metastic disease in pelvis, liver, splenectomy bed, stomach, mesentery, and peritoneum compared to a ct scan performed a week prior. she was seen by the atrius palliative care consult on hospital day 2, who provided recommendations for pain control. on hospital day 5, a team meeting with representatives from the gynecologic oncology, medical oncology, and palliative care teams met with the patient and her family and we discussed the plan of care for her. patient wishes to remain full code. she was told that the prognosis of her disease was not good and palliative chemotherapy with doxil outpatient was discussed once the patient becomes stable and is discharged from the hospital. however, after the 2nd family meeting, it became apparent to the patient and her family that she would not get better and wold not be a candidate for palliative chemotherapy. her code status was therefore changed to comfort measures only. # 1st degree heart block: while in the icu, her troponin increased from 0.05 to 0.18. ekg showed 1st degree av block without any st changes. serial troponins decreased to 0.06 and 0.03 and cpks were within normal limits. she was maintained on telemetry on the floor with no events. telemetry was therefore discontinued. # prophylaxis: given her bleed risk, she did not receive subcutaneous heparin dvt prophylaxis. she did have sequential compression devices and received intravenous pepcide for stress ulcer prophylaxis. she also received an aggressive bowel regimen for constipation and this has continued for comfort measures. medications on admission: allopurinol 100mg daily, levothyroxine 62.5mg daily, ativan 0.5 q8 prn, paxil 80mg daily, mvi, vitamin b6 discharge medications: 1. levothyroxine 125 mcg tablet sig: one (1) tablet po daily (daily). 2. paroxetine hcl 30 mg tablet sig: two (2) tablet po daily (daily). 3. docusate sodium 100 mg capsule sig: one (1) capsule po tid (3 times a day). disp:*90 capsule(s)* refills:*2* 4. senna 8.6 mg tablet sig: 1-2 tablets po hs (at bedtime) as needed for constipation. disp:*30 tablet(s)* refills:*0* 5. oxycodone 5 mg/5 ml solution sig: one (1) po q3h (every 3 hours) as needed for pain. disp:*10 bottle* refills:*0* 6. mirtazapine 15 mg tablet sig: 0.5 tablet po hs (at bedtime) as needed for insomnia. disp:*20 tablet(s)* refills:*0* 7. fentanyl 75 mcg/hr patch 72 hr sig: one (1) transdermal q72h (every 72 hours). disp:*20 * refills:*0* 8. nystatin 100,000 unit/ml suspension sig: five (5) ml po qid (4 times a day) as needed for oral discomfort. 9. oxygen please provide oxygen with flow of 2l 10. prochlorperazine 25 mg suppository sig: one (1) suppository rectal q12h (every 12 hours) as needed for nausea. disp:*30 suppository(s)* refills:*1* 11. lorazepam 2 mg/ml concentrate sig: 0.5-1 mg po every six (6) hours. disp:*30 ml* refills:*2* discharge disposition: home with service facility: hospice and palliative care discharge diagnosis: metastatic uterine carcinosarcoma pulmonary hospital acquired pneumonia coagulopathy urinary tract infection concern for intraabdominal bleed. acute renal failure. discharge condition: level of consciousness: lethargic but arousable. mental status: clear and coherent. activity status: bedbound. discharge instructions: you were admitted to the gynecology oncology service for concern for bleeding from your splenectomy bed and you were found to have metastatic uterine carcinosarcoma. *) please take your pain medication as scheduled. *) please continue your bowel regimen *) please continue oxygen for comfort followup instructions: none do 16-adl Procedure: Venous catheterization, not elsewhere classified Thoracentesis Diagnoses: Pneumonia, organism unspecified Malignant neoplasm of liver, secondary Unspecified pleural effusion Urinary tract infection, site not specified Unspecified essential hypertension Acute posthemorrhagic anemia Acute kidney failure, unspecified Depressive disorder, not elsewhere classified Candidiasis of mouth Pulmonary collapse Hemorrhage complicating a procedure Removal of other organ (partial) (total) causing abnormal patient reaction, or later complication, without mention of misadventure at time of operation Other and unspecified coagulation defects Knee joint replacement Other pulmonary embolism and infarction Personal history of antineoplastic chemotherapy Hemoperitoneum (nontraumatic) First degree atrioventricular block Secondary malignant neoplasm of other digestive organs and spleen Secondary malignant neoplasm of retroperitoneum and peritoneum Bariatric surgery status Postsurgical hypothyroidism Personal history of malignant neoplasm of thyroid Other and unspecified Escherichia coli [E. coli] Malignant neoplasm of uterus, part unspecified

illness: this is a 58 year old male physician with past medical history significant for prostatic intraepithelial neoplasia as well as known cad who presents today with anterior stemi. the patient was walking on the treadmill today when he suddently had onset of burning substernal chest pain with radiation down his left arm and to his jaw. onset of this pain was around 14:30 on the day of admission. this pain was extremely severe, unrelenting, constant, and not relieved by anything he tried. this was associated with dyspnea and diaphoresis. the patient was concerned he was having a heart attack so he had ems called from his health club and was taken to where ekg was consistent with stemi. therefore, he received asa, clopidogrel, heparin, and epifibatide. he also had a brief episode of nsvt and thus received lidocaine drip prior to transfer here for further management. . on presentation to the the patient went immediately for cardiac catheterization, which showed a 99% occlusion of the mid lad at the point of diversion of the diag. initial balloon was inflated at 4:42 pm. he had ptca, thrombectomy, and stenting with a des followed by a right heart cath that revealed essentially normal pressures. post-cath ekg had essentially normalized. . on arrival to the ccu he reports minimal chest pain, no shortness of breath, fevers, chills, or other complaints. aside from fatigue and generally feeling unwell, he denies any complaints. . cardiac review of systems is notable for chest pain, dyspnea, and diaphoresis during the event but he denies any doe, pnd, orthopnea,

found to have a 99% thrombotic occlusion of the mid-portion of lad involving the diagonal branch. successful pci of the lad with a 3.0x28mm promus des was performed. successful ptca of the jailed diagonal branch was accomplished with a 2.25mm balloon with perserved timi 3 flow throughout the procedure. patient had one episode of chest pain on the night after cath, relieved by nitro gtt. nitro gtt and heparin gtt were weaned off the next morning. patient was put on aspirin, plavix, high dose atorvastatin, and beta-blocker. tte showed normal lvef. because of concern of relative resistance to plavix, patient was on plavix 150mg daily, and he will continue 150mg daily for one month, followed by 75mg daily afterwards. . # pump: despite large anterior wall stemi the patient had no signs/symptoms of left ventricular systolic dysfunction, and his ef was normal. he had no hypotension or signs of cardiogenic shock. he tolerated beta-blocker, and his acei was held given concern for hypotension if acei is restarted. . # rhythm: patient had very short run of nsvt at osh but was in nsr during his stay at . his heart rate was in the 40s-50s at rest, which increased appropriately to 70s with activity. therefore, beta-blocker was re-initiated one day after cath, and he tolerated it well. . # dysautonomia/partial complex seizures: patient has been relatively stable on home regimen

with bare metal stent to distal left anterior coronary artery history of present illness: ms. is an 89 y/o f with h/o htn and dm who was transferred to for concern of possible stemi. . she woke up this morning feeling well until she went down and saw that her basement had flooded. approx. 30 minutes later, when she was addressing the flooding, she developed substernal chest pain. she described this pain as squeezing, located in the center of her chest and radiating to her left breast. she denied shortness of breath, diaphoresis, or palpitations. . she initially presented to , where ekg was concerning for st elevations in v3-v5. she was given a sl ntg and then started on a nitro gtt. she also received 1 dose of 5mg iv lopressor, asa, lipitor 80mg. she also was started on plavix 600mg and a heparin gtt (4000unit bolus followed by gtt at 850 units/hr). transfer to for cardiac cath was arranged. . in the cath lab at , she was noted to have diffuse calcification in the proximal and mid lad with a 70-80% stenosis in the distal lad that was stented with minivision bms. she was also noted to have 70% stenosis in the origin of the left circumflex but given the distribution of her ekg changes, this was not felt to be the culprit lesion and was not intervened on. she had only moderate luminal irregularities of her rca. . on arrival to the ccu, the patient's vs were t= 97.7 bp= 127/64 hr= 60 rr= 18 o2 sat= 97%. she complained of some slight discomfort in her chest 0.5/10, which she felt could be due to having to lay flat for an extended period of time. she denied any other complaints at that time. . on review of systems, she denies any prior history of stroke, tia, deep venous thrombosis, pulmonary embolism, cough, hemoptysis, black stools or red stools. she denies recent fevers, chills or rigors. she denies exertional buttock or calf pain. she does admit to excessing bleeding during a hysterectomy many years ago, chronic joint pains oa, foot pains and hand numbness diabetic neuropathy, chronic back pain, and vision loss related to macular degeneration. she also reports chornic overactive bladder symptoms for the past 3 years. all of the other review of systems were negative. . cardiac review of systems is notable for absence of dyspnea on exertion, paroxysmal nocturnal dyspnea, orthopnea, ankle edema, palpitations, or syncope. of note, the patient does report some intermittent chest discomfort at home, which she describes as indigestion and has treated with antacids. she does report some chronic lightheadedness. past medical history: 1. cardiac

left ventricular cavity size is normal. rest and stress perfusion images reveal a fixed, moderate reduction in photon counts involving the mid and distal anterior wall, distal septum,distal inferior wall and the apex. there is also a reversible, mild reduction in photon counts involving the mid and basal inferolateral walls. gated images reveal akinesis of the apex, distal anterior wall, distal septum, distal inferior wall and the mid anterior wall. the calculated left ventricular ejection fraction is 48% with an edv of 94 ml. impression: 1. fixed, large, moderate severity perfusion defect involving the lad territory. 2. reversible, small, mild perfusion defect involving the lcx territory. 3. normal left ventricular cavity size. mild systolic dysfunction with akinesis of the apex, distal anterior wall, distal septum, distal inferior wall and the mid anterior wall. . echo : the left atrium is normal in size. there is moderate regional left ventricular systolic dysfunction with focal severe hypokinesis to akinesis of the distal of the left ventricle. the remaining segments contract normally (lvef = 35-40 %). the estimated cardiac index is borderline low (2.0-2.5l/min/m2). no masses or thrombi are seen in the left ventricle. tissue doppler imaging suggests an increased left ventricular filling pressure (pcwp>18mmhg). the remaining left ventricular segments contract normally. right ventricular chamber size and free wall motion are normal. the ascending aorta is mildly dilated. the aortic valve leaflets are mildly thickened (?#). there is a minimally increased gradient consistent with minimal aortic valve stenosis. no aortic regurgitation is seen. the mitral valve leaflets are mildly thickened. mild (1+) mitral regurgitation is seen. there is moderate pulmonary artery systolic hypertension. there is no pericardial effusion. impression: suboptimal image quality. focal regional left ventricular dysfunction which may be consistent with stress cardiomyopathy (takotsubo) or mid/distal wrapaound lad infarction. moderate pulmonary hypertension. minimal aortic stenosis. . cardiac catheterization : comments: 1. coronary angiography in this right dominant system demonstrated two vessel disease. the lmca had no angiographically apparent disease. the lad had diffuse calcification in the proximal and mid vessel with 70-80% stenosis distally. there was a 70% stenosis in the origin diagonal branch. the lcx had a retroflexed 70% ostial stenosis that appeared most severe on the initial injections but improved with ic nitroglycerin. the rca had moderate luminal irregularities. 2. limited resting hemodynamics revealed mild systemic arterial systolic hypertension with sbp 145 mmhg. 3. successful ptca and stenting of the distal lad with a 2.25x12 mm minivision bms with excellent results (see ptca comments). 4. successful closure of the r common femoral arteriotomy with a 6f perclose proglide device. final diagnosis: 1. two vessel coronary artery disease. 2. successful stenting of the dfistal lad with a minivision bms 3. successful closure of the r-cf arteriotomy with perclose proglide brief hospital course: # stemi: the patient developed sudden onset of sscp on the morning of admission in the setting of seeing her basement flooded. ecg did show findings concerning for stemi, with st elevations in the lateral leads. she was taken to the cath lab, where she had stenting of the distal lad performed. there was some concern about additional disease in the left circumflex so, in the days following catheterization, the patient underwent stress testing. nuclear stress did show a small reversible defect in the left circumflex territory as well as a large fixed defect in the lad territory. she was discharged with cardiology follow-up. she was discharged on full-dose asa, plavix, metoprolol, and a statin. # htn: was normotensive on arrival to ccu. at discharge, was continued on her hyzaar. was also started on

from sleep at 2 am described as epigastric pain and did not improve with sl ntg. he then was taken to an osh ed, where he was found to be in atrial fibrillation with rvr with lateral std. while in the osh ed, he developed left-sided chest pain different from intial chest pain that resolved with ntg and morphine. his labs at that time were notable for elevated cardiac biomarkers to ck 42, mb 3.1, tnt 0.22. cardiology was consulted with recommendation for cardiac catheterization. prior to catheterization, however, the patient had vf arrest on with rosc after defibrillation x2, cpr, calcium, and amiodarone. at that point, the patient was started on heparin gtt, integrillin gtt, and taken to cardiac catheterization. cardiac catheterization demonstrated 60% proximal and mid-lad, 80-90% lcx, 100% proximal rca, some in-stent resteonsis of om with iabp placed. ct surgery was consulted for possible cabg, which the family deferred pending transfer to for further evaluation and repeat cardiac

was admitted to icu rather than floor post-op due to hypotension. hypotension was thought to be related to a. fib with rvr with rates ranging from 110-120s. pt received a total of 7l ns in the pacu over 7 hours but was still noted to have a bp in the mid 70s, asymptomatic. differential included a. fib with rvr given his prior history, however would expect a more impressive rate to give such hypotension. other differentials to consider included possible sepsis that could have occured peri-op, he was also noted to have leukocytosis prior to his operation. on review of his record he has had septic shock after gu procedures as well as a history of vre, pan sensitive e.coli. pt's bp also noted to decrease after diltiazem 120mg was given. for possible sepsis patient was bolused with 500cc lr to check bp response, pt mentating well currently. changed antiobiotics of vanc and ceftriaxone to zosyn (for broad gram positive, negative coverage) and linezolid (vre coverage). pt received diltiazem and is on morphine pca which could also explain the hypotension. blood cultures were sent. antibiotics were then discontinued on post-op day 2 per urology, given no evidence of infection, and resolution of hypotension. . ##. a. fib with rvr: pt has history of a. fib with rvr post-op following a prior gu surgery performed in . on review of anaesthesia records it appears his a. fib was in the 100-120 range, he received a total of 9l ns as mentioned above as well as 2u packed red blood cells. he received diltiazem 120mg sr with his rate responding 85-103. on review it appeared he required amiodarone 150mg bolus and drip during prior episodes. amiodarone was started on post-op day 1. this was discontinued per cardiology consult, and the patient's rate was subsequently controlled with diltiazem iv boluses, follow by a diltiazem drip. he was on warfarin at home given his atrial fibrillation, despite having a chads2 score of zero, and warfarin was continued during his hospital course. the diltiazem drip was discontinued and transitioned to oral. initial dose was diltiazem 90 mg po qid, increased to 120 mg qid for rate control. bradycardia to 40s followed first 120

service after undergoing bilateral stent change. the patient was scheduled for day surgery, but became hypotensive, tachycardic in the day surgery pacu, requiring pressors. the patient was transferred from the pacu to the icu. icu course was significant for: # sepsis mr. was admitted to the icu in septic shock after bilateral ureteral stent change. he had an elevated lactate, rising white blood cell count, fevers and hypotension not responsive to fluids. he has a history of chronic infection in the gu tract, in addition to vre colonization. he has been admitted for severe sepsis after gu procedures on multiple occasions since his neobladder surgery in . on admission to the icu, the patient was requiring multiple pressors and was started on treatment with linezolid and zosyn. he was slowly weaned off pressors and transferred back to the urology service when hemodynamically stable. # atrial fibrillation the patient presented to the icu from the pacu with heart rates in the 130s-150s, which appeared consistent with prior post-op course and contributing to his hypotension. triggers, likely multifactorial, likely included post-op stress, hypovolemia, and infection. he was started on an amiodarone drip, which controlled his rhythm. prior to transfer back to the urology service, he was started on low-dose beta-blocker, which is to be increased back to his home dose of metoprolol prior to discharge from the hospital. an echo showed that his left atrium is mildly dilated, and there is mild symmetric left ventricular hypertrophy with normal cavity size. he has some mild regional left ventricular systolic dysfunction with inferior hypokinesis. # acute renal failure mr. was in rapidly worsening acute renal failure post-operatively with oliguria and hyperkalemia, most likely from acute tubular necrosis secondary to hypotension. a renal ultrasound showed no concern for obstructive post-renal etiology. lasix boluses were used to increase his urine output and keep his potassium in check. prior to transfer from the icu, the patient started autodiuresing, and his kidney function began to slowly improve. # diarrhea the patient presented with stool incontinence. due to history of severe c. difficile infection, he was treated empirically with metronidazole and per oral vancomycin. his stool was negative for c difficile during this hospitalization. on pod 7, the patient was transferred to the floor in stable condition. on pod 8, the foley catheter was removed and the patient continued to be incontinent as he was prior to admission. he was discharged in stable condition on pod 10, creatinie trending down, wbc normal, with a picc line in place for 13 more doses of zosyn and oral vancomycin to be taken for two days following zosyn. vna services were arranged for the administration of antibiotics and subsequent removal of picc line and in home physical therapy. he was instructed to follow up with renal on and provided a lab order slip (per renal recs) for a chem 10 to be drawn on at the clinical center. he was instructed to contact dr. office upon discharge to arrange/confirm follow up appointment.

the kidney to the bladder: stent: a plastic hollow tube that is placed into the ureter, from the kidney to the bladder to prevent the ureter from swelling shut. despite the fact that no skin incisions were used, the area around the ureter and bladder is irritated. the stent is required in order keep the ureter open and urine flowing from the kidney to the bladder. because one end of the ureter is in the bladder, it can cause irritation to the bladder. therefore, it is normal to feel that you need the urge to urinate frequently when the stent is in place. although the stent can be uncomfortable, it is important to have the stent to avoid damaging the kidney and ureter after your procedure. you may see some blood in your urine while the stent is in place and a few days afterward. drink lots of fluid - this will help clear up your urine. diet: you may return to your normal diet immediately. because of the raw surface of your bladder, alcohol, spicy foods, acidy foods and drinks with caffeine may cause irritation or frequency and should be used in moderation. to keep your urine flowing freely and to avoid constipation, drink plenty of fluids during the day (8 - 10 glasses) activity: your physical activity doesn't need to be restricted. however, if you are very active, you may see some blood in the urine. we would suggest to cut down your activity under these circumstances until the bleeding has stopped bowels-it is important to keep your bowels regular during the postoperative period. straining with bowel movements can cause bleeding. a bowel movement every other day is reasonable. use a mild laxative if needed, such as milk of magnesia tablespoons, or 2 dulcolax tablets. call if you continue to have problems. if you had been taking narcotics for pain, before, during or after your surgery, you may be constipated. take a laxative if necessary medication-you should resume your pre-surgery medications unless told not to. in addition you will often be given an antibiotic to prevent infection. these should be taken as prescribed until the bottles are finished unless you are having an unusual reaction to one of the drugs. problems should report to urology service a. fevers over 100.5 fahrenheit b. heavy bleeding, or clots (see notes above about blood in urine). c. inability to urinate. d. drug reactions (hives, rash, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea). e. severe burning or pain with urination that is not improving. f. you have and internal stent and it is important to have a follow-up appointment to remove your stent. call your doctor for

procedure: none history of present illness: this is a 69 year old male, who is admitted with atrial fibrillation with rvr. . patient was recently admitted one month ago for a radical cystectomy for transitional cell carcinoma of the bladder and neobladder creation. post-operatively, his hospital course was complicated by new atrial fibrillation with rvr when he was npo following surgery, at which time he was in the requiring an esmolol gtt. he also developed an ileus, with recurrent rvr. he was stabalized and discharged on metoprolol 100 mg . . today he presented to urology clinic after his daughter prompted him to come in. he was noted to have a distended abdomen, that improved after a bowel movement while at clinic. a kub demonstrated question of ilieus or partial small bowel obstruction. he was also noted to be tachycardic with a heart rate in the 130's. finally, he reported foul smelling urine from his neobladder. he denied chest pain, shortness of breath, chills, rashes, bleeding, pnd, orthopnea, or leg swelling. he does endorse possible fevers. . he was initially admitted to the urology service, however his heart rate remained 120-140 on the floor, with a systolic blood pressure in the low 90's. cardiology was contact and amiodarone load and drip was recommended. given tachycardia, hypotension, and inability to do an amiodarone drip on the floor, patient was transferred to for further management. . upon arrival to the , patient reported he was doing well and had no complaints. specifically he denied chest pain, shortness of breath, or other symptoms. he did report that his abdomen has been more full and somewhat distended after "eating too much--a steak and cheese sub" over the weekend. he denied any nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, or

and neobladder who was initially transferred to the icu from the floor for atrial fibrillation with rapid ventricular response, hypotension, fevers, leukocytosis, abdominal discomfort, and acute renal failure. the following is his course by problem. . # atrial fibrillation with rapid rate: since his surgery last month, his rate has been very hard to control, but he was discharged on 100 mg metoprolol . tsh was 3.4. last echo was demonstrated lvh and dilated left atrium with low normal ef. he had not been anticoagulated, and reports taking an aspirin; he states he was supposed to follow up with his pcp to discuss after his surgery, but had not made it to that appointment yet. he reported he was aware of the risks of stroke secondary to atrial fibrillation. at time of arrival to icu, his blood pressure was stable, so he was given iv beta-blocker and loaded with digoxin, as wished to avoid potentially chemically cardioverting. cardiology had been consulted and followed along. he was started on anticoagulation, and inr will need to be followed by his pcp. was increased to 5 mg daily on , but inr trended up to 4.1 quickly. was held for 2 days and inr was 3.1 on day of discharge (). pt was asked to started taking 2.5 mg of daily after discharge and will need inr checked at least twice weekly while on antibiotics. metoprolol was increased to 100 mg tid. given hr increasing to 130s-140s with activity once transferred to the floor (not orthostatic), pt was given iv digoxin again given concern for poor po absorption in the setting of his colitis. digoxin oral was then restarted at 0.125 mg daily with level of 0.6. because of continued poor rate control with activity, diltiazem 30 mg qid was started. pt then had 2 second pauses digoxin was stopped per cardiology recs (in addition, pts bp was higher so did not required digoxin anymore). prior to discharge, pt was having several 2 second pauses while sleeping (this could be due to sleep apnea, increased vagal tone), but heart rate would still go up into the 130s with little activity. he was completely asymptomatic, hemodynamically stable, and refused to stay in the hospital any longer for titration of his medications. he was discharged on 100 mg of metoprolol tid and 120 of diltiazem daily. he should follow up with cardiology after discharge. he prefers to see his home cardiologist. pcp aware of inr monitoring while pt is on antibiotics. . # uti/bladder transitional cell carcinoma: patient well known to the urology service. his surgical incisions appear to be healing well. after discussion with urology, it was felt he likely had a soft tissue infection of his neobladder based on description of his urine, urine analysis, and fevers. imaging of his abdomen and pelvis to look for abscess was deferred given that urology reported that soft tissue infections of the neobladder may be slower to resolve. he was initially on ceftriaxone, however changed over to ciprofloxacin after sensitivies returned on his urine. will continue cipro to complete a 10 day course. his neobladder was irrigated every 8 hours. cystogram was performed and pts foley was removed by urology. pt was instructed on straight intermittent catheterization. per urology, no further treatment is needed at this time. he should follow up with urology after discharge. . # hypotension: it was felt that the patient's hypotension was secondary to atrial fibrillation with rvr and poor forward flow. in addition patient appeared volume depleted at time of admission. there was also concern for developing sepsis given leukocytosis, fevers, foul smelling urine and urine analysis consistent with infection. no chest pain or ekg changes to suggest ischemia. his lactate was within normal limits, and his blood pressure normalized within several hours of admission after his rate control improved and he was given fluids. . # c diff colitis/ distended abdomen: initially there was concern for possibly developing partial small bowel obstruction or ilieus, however he continued to have flatus and move his bowels. he refused a nasogastric tube on admission. he began to develop loose stools and a c. difficile toxin assay was positive. he continued to have abdominal cramping and then nausea. he was started on flagyl on for this and should complete a 2 week course (1 week after cipro has been completed for uti). his abdominal examination remained benign, although he continued to have gas cramps and loose stools. kub appeared benigin on , and he was given antiemetics for his nausea (likely due to flagyl). will discharge with compazine as needed while pt is completing his course of flagyl. . # fever: pt continued to spike temps after cipro was started for uti and flagyl started for c diff. his antibiotics were changed back to iv in the case of poor gi absorption and once afebrile for 48 hrs, po antibiotics were resumed. will continue cipro for uti and flagyl for c diff . # cad: no active symptoms, no acute ekg changes. continued asa, statin, and beta-blocker . # acute renal failure: patient's baseline creatinine 0.8-1.0. on admission, his creatinine was up to 1.6. he was not on any nephrotoxic medications. although his bun was not as high as would be expected for pre-renal etiology, suspect that volume depletion and poor forward flow while in af with rvr, with possible development of some atn in that setting. his creatinine eventually decreased to 1.1-1.2 after fluids and improvement in his blood pressure. a renal ultrasound demonstrated mild hydronephrosis, which per discussion with urology is expected after neobladder formation, although a bump in creatinine is not typically expected. . # ankle pain: patient reports this is chronic secondary to arthritis. he was treated initially with narcotics for this (vicodin), but pt did not want to take any more. . # anemia: stable hct since last admission (32.8), suspect secondary to losses from prior urologic surgery, chronic disease state with concurrent malignancy. . # elevated total bilirubin: noted on admission, however returned to baseline. medications on admission: medications at home: - omeprazole 20 mg daily. -

and lumbar spine as detailed above, representing osseous metastatic disease. compression fractures are identified at t3 and t6, the latter with mild retropulsion and indentation on the spinal cord. multilevel degenerative changes of the cervical spine with spinal canal stenosis. . liver or gallbladder us - distended gallbladder without stones or other sign of acute cholecystitis. mild intrahepatic biliary duct dilatation. severe right hydronephrosis, fully discussed on the recent cta torso from , likely secondary to bladder cancer. trace perihepatic ascites. . mr pelvis w&w/o contras - urinary catheter is noted within the bladder with thrombus identified in relation to the right ureteric orifice. abnormal region enhancing mass noted in the right distal ureter causing proximal right hydronephrosis and hydroureter concerning for either a transitional carcinoma of the right distal ureter versus a bladder mass invading the right ureteric orifice. diffuse osseous metastatic disease noted of the axial pelvic skeleton. . ct head w/ & w/o contra - no evidence of metastatic lesions to the brain or bones. mri would be more accurate in identifying metastatic lesions if not contraindicated. . ct abd & pelvis w/o con - right hydroureter and hydronephrosis, with hyperdense material distending the right renal pelvis, ureter and the bladder, compatible with hemorrhage. the biopsied periureteral mass likely responsible for the hemorrhage is not appreciated by non contrast ct. new low-density ascites, with small hyperdense component in the cul-de-sac. given the clnical history, this likely reflects bladder rupture, with the low-density fluid representing urine. the small hyperdense component in the cul-de-sac is attributable to the blood products seen within the bladder. left greater than right pleural effusions, with associated atelectasis. . 2d-echo - the left atrium is elongated. no atrial septal defect is seen by 2d or color doppler. the estimated right atrial pressure is at least 15 mmhg. there is moderate symmetric left ventricular hypertrophy. the left ventricular cavity size is normal. there is mild regional left ventricular systolic dysfunction with fical mid anterior/anteroseptal hypokinesis, the remaining segments are hyperdynamic and thus the overall lvef is preserved. there is no ventricular septal defect. the right ventricular cavity is dilated with normal free wall contractility. there is abnormal septal motion/position. 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 severe mitral annular calcification. there is mild functional mitral stenosis (mean gradient 9 mmhg) due to mitral annular calcification. an eccentric jet of moderate to severe (3+) mitral regurgitation is seen. the tricuspid valve leaflets are mildly thickened. moderate to severe tricuspid regurgitation is seen. there is moderate pulmonary artery systolic hypertension. there is no pericardial effusion. . chest (portable ap) - as compared to the previous radiograph, there is an increase in severity of the pre-existing pulmonary edema. this is reflected by increased interstitial markings, widening of the right aspect of the mediastinum, increase in diameter of the cardiac silhouette and, potentially, a small left pleural effusion. no other abnormalities are noted. the right venous introduction sheath is in unchanged position. . cxr: the left picc line can be seen to the level of the mid portion of left brachiocephalic vein. advancement by at least 6 cm is recommended to bring the tip of the picc line into the svc. the dobbhoff tube tip is below the inferior margin of the film, most likely in the stomach. the heart size and mediastinum are unchanged. widespread parenchymal opacities and bilateral pleural effusion is unchanged. brief hospital course: 77 y/o woman with significant vasculopathy, seizure history, hypothyroidism, chronic uti presenting with back pain found to be spinal mets from an obstructing periureteral mass. underwent transvaginal biopsy which showed urothelial carcinoma. hospital course complicated by perforation of the bladder and significant hematuria requiring 4 units of rbcs and transfer to micu. she also required emergent cystoscopy and had hypoxic respiratory distress. patient was transferred to the oncology floor when her respiratory distress improved with diuresis, however, returned to the icu after iv fluid administration for hypercalcemia worsened her respiratory status. as patient was not deemed to be a candidate for a radiation or chemotherapy for her primary cancer given her poor functional status, multiple discussions with the family, icu/medical team and palliative care team were had and patient was made comfort measures only. she was started on aggressive comfort measures to control her pain from osseous metastases and also to ease her breathing and died on . . # acute hypoxic respiratory failure: patient presented following her repeat cystoscopy with worsening oxygen requirement and she has acute hypoxia with 2d-echo showing systolic dysfunction with a prior anterolateral injury and evidence of hypokinesia that likely resulted in volume overload and flash pulmonary edema. she responded to lasix diuresis and her oxygenation improved. she was also given nebulizer treatments. her initial oxygen requirement was a non-rebreather and she quickly weaned to nasal cannula. she required a short return to the icu given some fluid administration needs and with diuresis and anti-hypertensive therapy her respiratory status stabilized. . # delirium: the patient developed delirium concerns this admission which was considered multifactoral in origin. her infection concerns were treated, her metabolic derangements were addressed and we felt her pain control and icu delirium was most likely contributing. we optimized her medication regimen, controlled her pain with dilaudid and optimized her sleep cycles. . # ureteral mass/urothelial carcinoma: she was initially sent to the ed for back pain. a ct of the torso revealed an obstructing bladder mass with mets throughout the lumbar, thoracic and cervical spine. urology was consulted and she underwent a cystoscopy on which showed an extravesicular mass, pushing into the right ureter and bladder. she was started on continuous bladder irrigation for hematuria. an mri showed that the mass was actually periureteral. she underwent a transvaginal ultrasound guided ir biopsy on . on , her hct dropped from 28->18 and her stomach became tense and distended. she was transfused 4 units of packed red cells and transferred to the micu. urology repeated her cystoscopy and noted a bladder tear which was conservatively managed with continuous bladder irrigation. . # hypercalcemia: transient elevation in serum calcium to 10-11 range in the setting of malignancy which improved with bisphosphonate administration, calcitonin and diuretic therapy; given her volume concern issues, fluids were deferred for calcium management. . # spinal mets: her back pain was initially concerning for pmr and was treated by pcp with steroids. she was discovered on ct torso to have diffuse mets to the spine. palliative care was called for assistance with pain management. she was given morphine and ms contin, as well as dexamethasone and gabapentin. dilaudid was switched to morphine due to confusion. neuro spine was consulted and recommened a tlso brace at all times when out of bed. radiation oncology was consulted for palliative radiation options. she initiated palliative spine radiation this admission. . # acute kidney injury: creatinine bumped on from baseline 0.9 up to 1.6. this was initially concerning for obstruction from clots in the bladder. she was given iv fluids initially and her creatinine improved to baseline. following resuscitation, her creatinine remained stable in the setting of diuresis needs. . # hypertension: hctz was stopped early on in hospital stay due to electrolyte abnormalities. metoprolol was restarted and uptitrated for hypertension and tachycardia given her episode of flash pulmonary edema and ongoing respiratory distress. her 2d-echo demonstrated cardiac dysfunction with a diastolic component which was treated with acei and beta-blocker therapy. . # pvd: status post aorto-carotid and aorto-bifemoral bypasses. on aggrenox at home. this was held in preparation for biopsy and remained off in the setting of bleeding. it was restarted after discussion with urology team, when bleeding from her bladder perforation stabilized . # hypothyroidism: has been high per pcp for unclear reasons. continued home levothyroxine . # seizure history: we continued phenytoin, vitamin b6 supplementation. . # uti: she has chronic utis per her pcp. was asymptomatic but was treated for 7 days with ceftriaxone then dicloxacillin for urine culture showing staph epi. medications on admission: aggrenox 25-200 lipitor 20 mg tab daily dilantin cap 100mg qam, 200mg qpm (phenytoin sodium extended)

distal end demonstrates mucosal ischemia only. 2. proximal ileal resection margin, within normal limits. 3. five adenomata, measuring from 0.3 to 1.1 cm in greatest dimension; no high grade dysplasia or carcinoma seen. 4. regional lymph nodes, within normal limits. 5. medial calcification and atherosclerosis of arteries of mesocolon echo: the left atrium is mildly dilated. no atrial septal defect is seen by 2d or color doppler. there is mild symmetric left ventricular hypertrophy. the left ventricular cavity size is normal. due to suboptimal technical quality, a focal wall motion abnormality cannot be fully excluded. overall left ventricular systolic function is low normal (lvef 50-55%). 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. trivial mitral regurgitation is seen. the tricuspid valve leaflets are mildly thickened. the estimated pulmonary artery systolic pressure is normal. there is no pericardial effusion. chest (portable ap): the et tube tip is 5.5 cm above the carina. the pacemaker leads terminate in right atrium and right ventricle. cardiomegaly is unchanged. there is interval improvement of pulmonary edema, currently minimal. there is no substantial pleural effusion and there is no pneumothorax. right internal jugular line tip is at the level of mid low svc. linear opacities projecting over the pacemaker are new and most likely represents overlying findings , and unlikely to represent discontinued pacemaker leads but repeated radiograph to clarify this point is recommended. chest (portable ap): comparison is made to prior study from the chest radiograph from . there is a right-sided pacemaker distally tips in the right atrium and right ventricle, appropriately sited. there is a right ij central venous line whose tip is in the distal svc. endotracheal tube and nasogastric tube are appropriately sited. there is persistent cardiomegaly. there has been interval worsening of the left retrocardiac opacity. no significant pulmonary edema is seen. there are no pneumothoraces. ecg: sinus rhythm with ventricular premature beats. left axis deviation. first degree a-v block. intraventricular conduction defect with atypical left bundle-branch block. probable old anterolateral myocardial infarction. no previous tracing available for comparison. chest (portable ap): impression: 1. the patient is markedly rotated on the current examination. the endotracheal tube has its tip 4.4 cm above the carina. a nasogastric tube is seen coursing below the diaphragm with the tip not identified. a right internal jugular central line is unchanged in position with its tip in the proximal to mid svc. 2. there is worsening bilateral airspace process, likely pulmonary edema with increasing consolidation at the left base likely reflecting compressive atelectasis in the setting of a pleural effusion. a smaller right effusion is also likely evident. a right-sided dual-lead pacer remains in place with its leads terminating over the expected location of the right atrium and right ventricle respectively. no pneumothorax appreciated. heart remains enlarged. portable ap chest radiograph: a right dual-lead pacemaker device is noted with leads terminating in the right atrium and right ventricle. a nasogastric tube is noted with tip not clearly visualized in the field of view. a right ij catheter appears kinked as before; however, the tip projects over the upper svc in unchanged position from the prior examination. moderate cardiomegaly is stable. there is no pneumothorax. mild pulmonary edema is unchanged from the prior examination. stable left lower lobe opacity may represent pleural effusion with adjacent atelectasis; however, infectious process such as pneumonia cannot be completely excluded in the correct clinical setting. minimal opacification at the right lung base may also represent atelectasis versus aspiration pneumonitis or pneumonia chest(portable ap): impression: ap chest compared to : mild pulmonary edema and bibasilar atelectasis have both improved since . transvenous right atrial and right ventricular pacer leads follow their expected courses. pleural effusions are small if any. no pneumothorax brief hospital course: the pt initially presented to an osh with acute onset abdominal pain which began suddenly earlier that morning that was associated with non-bloody diarrhea. at the osh she was hypotensive to the 70's so was bolused with crystalloid fluids and started on pressors. a ct scan at the time showed diffuse non-specific colitis and she was transferred to for further care. on arrival in the ed she was noted to be hypotensive to the 90s with escalating doses of neo-synephrine. troponin' were negative, and patient's abdominal exam was consistent with peritonitis with mental status changes. after a discussion with the family and patient she consented to an exploratory laparotomy. she was given vancomycin, cipro and flagyl preoperatively. please see operative note for further details. at laparotomy patient was noted to have ischemic splenic flexure through sigmoid colon. her right colon was dilated and thin with a cecal bascule, a subtotal colectomy and end ileostomy was performed. a jp drain was left above her . post operatively she was transferred to the icu, intubated on dual pressors. a right femoral a-line placed. a tte was performed and her pacer was interrogated. cardiac enzymes were cycled without evidence for myocardial injury. by pod 1 she was off pressors with stable vital signs. she was started on intermittent lopressor for intermittent tachycardia that extended into pod 2. these episodes of atrial tach with nonsustained v-tach delayed extubation. cardiology and ep were re consulted. pod : patient was extubated, cardiology stated that no intervention should be performed for her atrial tachycardia aside from beta blockade. she was diuresed with intermittent lasix. ngt was continued. pod 5 tf started at 20ml/hr via ngt. pod 6 ngt was discontinued with flatus. patient was restarted on her home macrobid. ciprofloxacin and flagyl were discontinued after a 7 day course. speech and swallow was consulted and recommended thin liquids, pureed solids. jp drain d/c'ed. pt worked with her throughout her icu stay. nursing care helped with patient teaching. pathology returned ischemic colitis. on pod 7 patient was transferred to the floor where she remained stable with stable vital signs. the patient's outpatient cardiologist was contact and felt it was appropriate to initiate 3 mg warfarin daily with adjustment per inr due to new onset atrial fibrillation. she received her first dosage of 3 mg on and will require daily inr checks; most recent inr 1.1 . of note, the patient complained of left leg pain on pod9. no erythema or edema was noted at that time, but will require monitoring. additionally, she continued to tolerate a diet, which was advanced to soft solids, thin liquids and whole pills with thin liquids as tolerated following re-evaluation by speech and swallow on pod9. her ostomy continued to function well and was draining moderate amounts of semi-formed stool; stoma was beefy red. the ostomy rn assisted with care and teaching, but would require additional teaching for ongoing management. the patient was subsequently discharged to rehab on . medications on admission: neurontin 300 qam, 600 qpm, tramadol 100 qid, vicodin 5/500 q4h prn, trazadone 50 qhs, tylenol 1000 prn, spiriva inh, xopenex 0.63', lasix 20', baclofen 10', omeprazole 20', lidoderm 5% td, lisinopril 5', nitrofurantoin 100', simvastatin 20', mom 30', dulcolax 10', klor-con 10', fleets enema' discharge medications: 1. heparin (porcine) 5,000 unit/ml solution sig: one (1) ml injection tid (3 times a day). 2. albuterol sulfate 2.5 mg /3 ml (0.083 %) solution for nebulization sig: one (1) neb inhalation q6h (every 6 hours) as needed for sob/wheeze. 3. tiotropium bromide 18 mcg capsule, w/inhalation device sig: one (1) cap inhalation daily (daily). 4. tylenol 325 mg tablet sig: two (2) tablet po every 4-6 hours as needed for pain. 5. nitrofurantoin monohyd/m-cryst 100 mg capsule sig: one (1) capsule po daily (daily). 6. furosemide 40 mg tablet sig: one (1) tablet po daily (daily). 7. omeprazole 20 mg capsule, delayed release(e.c.) sig: one (1) capsule, delayed release(e.c.) po daily (daily). 8. oxycodone 5 mg tablet sig: 1-2 tablets po every 4-6 hours as needed for pain. 9. metoprolol tartrate 25 mg tablet sig: 1.5 tablets po tid (3 times a day). 10. miconazole nitrate 2 % powder sig: one (1) appl topical qid (4 times a day) as needed for to affected area: apply to affected breast & groin folds as directed. 11. miconazole nitrate 2 % powder sig: one (1) appl topical qid (4 times a day) as needed for to affected area. 12. warfarin 1 mg tablet sig: three (3) tablet po once (once) for 1 doses: goal inr for afib. dose daily based on reaching inr goal. 13. insulin regular human 100 unit/ml solution sig: one (1) dose injection four times a day as needed for per sliding scale. discharge disposition: extended care facility: house nursing home - discharge diagnosis: ischemic colitis atrial fibrillation discharge condition: mental status: clear and coherent. level of consciousness: alert and interactive. activity status: out of bed with assistance to chair or wheelchair. discharge instructions: you were admitted to the hospital with with an acute condition of your intestines where blood flow was compromised requiring an operation to repair this condition. as a result you have a colostomy bag where stool can collect into a pouch. after your operation you also had another condition where your heart rate was too fast prompting that cardiology evaluate you. several recommedations for medication management of this were made and put into place. followup instructions: department: general surgery/ when: tuesday at 3:00 pm with: acute care clinic with dr phone: building: lm bldg () campus: west best parking: garage name: , np specialty: cardiology location: medical associates address: , , phone: when: at 11:40am name: i.,md specialty: primary care location: medical and walk- in center address: , 3rd fl, , phone: please discuss with the staff at the facility a follow up appointment with your pcp when you are ready for discharge. md Procedure: Continuous invasive mechanical ventilation for less than 96 consecutive hours Venous catheterization, not elsewhere classified Enteral infusion of concentrated nutritional substances Open and other right hemicolectomy Exteriorization of small intestine Artificial pacemaker rate check Diagnoses: Coronary atherosclerosis of native coronary artery Unspecified essential hypertension Unspecified septicemia Severe sepsis Chronic airway obstruction, not elsewhere classified Atrial fibrillation Acute respiratory failure Osteoporosis, unspecified Septic shock Cardiac pacemaker in situ Barrett's esophagus Restless legs syndrome (RLS) Unspecified vascular insufficiency of intestine Postprocedural fever Paroxysmal tachycardia, unspecified

facial fractures secondary diagnoses: substance abuse, urinary tract infection discharge condition: mental status: confused - sometimes. level of consciousness: alert and interactive. activity status: ambulatory - requires supervision discharge instructions: dear ms , you were admitted to the hospital because you had a fall and unfortunately suffered some fractures of your facial bones and had some bleeding around your brain. while you were here, we monitored you closely to make sure that the bleeding around your brain remained stable, and it did. you will need to follow up with the plastic surgeons in about one week to have your sutures removed. you will also need to follow up with the neurosurgeons in four weeks to make sure that the blood around your brain is stable. you will need to get another ct scan of your head before your follow up appointment. you were also a little confused and anxious sometimes, so we gave you some medication to help with this. it is very important for you to follow up with a neurologist for further evaluation and to determine what medications can best help you with this. we also found that you had a urinary tract infection, so you completed a course of antibiotics. you are now being transferred to a rehabilitation facility where you will get physical therapy to work on getting stronger. it is very important that you follow up with your primary care doctor after you leave rehab. it is also important for you to discuss ways to help you refrain from alcohol use and prevent injuries in the future. medication changes stop the following medications until you follow up with your doctors to determine when it is safe to restart: - bupropion - acamprosate - naltrexone - simvastatin - aspirin - trazodone followup instructions: follow up

history of present illness: ms. is a 62yo female with a pmh significant for crohn's disease who is transferred from an osh for management of a gi bleed. per patient, she was in her usual state of health until . she typically wakes up at 4am to move her bowels. she woke up that morning and passed brbpr. it apparently filled up the toilet bowel. ten minutes later, she passed more brb. there was no associated pain, nausea, or vomiting. she presented to the osh and hct was 36.8 (last hct in was 43.3). the next day she underwent a colonoscopy which showed the following: left sided diverticulosis, tortuous redundant colon with excessive looping. blood throughout the colon but no active bleeding seen. fresh blood from the rectum to the anastomosis. per the osh gastroenterologist, she also had an egd which was completely normal. she continued to pass brb and proceeded to have several bleeding scans over the course of her hospitalization. two of the three bleeding scans showed questionable activity in the left side of the gi tract and one study was completely normal. she proceeded to have a mesenteric angiogram which was negative. per osh records, she received a total of 17 units prbcs. given the persistent bleeding, she was transferred to for further work-up. on admission hct was 28.5. past medical history: 1. crohn's disease 2. copd 3. hypothyroidism 4. osteoporosis

blood so that clots will not form. how does it work? warfarin changes the body's clotting system. it thins the blood to prevent clots from forming. what you should contact your healthcare provider : signs of a life-threatening reaction. these include wheezing; chest tightness; fever; itching; bad cough; blue skin color; fits; or swelling of face, lips, tongue, or throat, severe dizziness or passing out, falls or accidents, especially if you hit your head. talk with healthcare provider even if you feel fine, significant change in thinking clearly and logically, severe headache, severe back pain, severe belly pain, black, tarry, or bloody stools, blood in the urine, nosebleeds, coughing up blood, vomiting blood, unusual bruising or bleeding, severe menstrual bleedin, or rash. call your doctor if you are unable to eat for several days, for whatever reason. also call if you have stomach problems, vomiting, or diarrhea that lasts more than 1 day. these problems could affect your coumadin??????/warfarin dosage. coumadin (warfarin) and diet: certain foods and beverages can impair the effect of warfarin. for this reason, it's important to pay attention to what you eat while taking this medication. until recently, doctors advised taking warfarin to avoid foods high in vitamin k. this is because large amounts of vitamin k can counteract the benefits of warfarin. however, recent research shows that rather than eliminating vitamin k from your diet, it is more important to be consistent in your dietary vitamin k intake. these foods contain vitamin k: fruits and vegetables, such as: kiwi, blueberries, broccoli, cabbage, sprouts, green onions, asparagus, cauliflower, peas, lettuce, spinach, turnip, collard, and mustard greens, parsley, kale, endive. meats, such as: beef liver, pork liver. other: mayonnaise, margarine, canola oil, soybean oil, vitamins, soybeans and cashews. limit alcohol. alcohol can affect your coumadin??????/warfarin dosage but it does not mean you must avoid all alcohol. serious problems can occur with alcohol and coumadin??????/warfarin when you drink more than 2 drinks a day or when you change your usual pattern. binge drinking is not good for you. be careful on special occasions or holidays, and drink only what you usually would on any regular day of the week. monitoring: the doctor decides how much coumadin??????/warfarin you need by testing your blood. the test measures how fast your blood is clotting and lets the doctor know if your dosage should change. if your blood test is too high, you might be at risk for bleeding problems. if it is too low, you might be at risk for forming clots. your doctor has decided on a range on the blood test that is right for you. the blood test used for monitoring is called an inr. use of other medications: when coumadin??????/warfarin is taken with other medicines it can change the way other medicines work. other medicines can also change the way coumadin??????/warfarin works. it is very important to talk with your doctor about all of the other medicines that you are taking, including over-the-counter medicines, antibiotics, vitamins, or herbal products. followup instructions: please call ( to schedule a follow-up appointment with dr. , md (surgery) in 2 weeks. . please call ( to arrange a follow-up appointment with dr.
