dilated. left ventricular wall thicknesses are normal. the left ventricular cavity is severely dilated with severer global hypokinesis. no masses or thrombi are seen in the left ventricle. tissue doppler imaging suggests an increased left ventricular filling pressure (pcwp>18mmhg). the right ventricular cavity is moderately dilated with moderate global free wall hypokinesis. the aortic valve leaflets (3) appear structurally normal with good leaflet excursion and no aortic regurgitation. the mitral valve leaflets are mildly thickened. an eccentric, jet of moderate (2+) mitral regurgitation is seen. there is mild pulmonary artery systolic hypertension. there is no pericardial effusion. compared with the prior study (images reviewed) of , left ventricular cavity size is minimally smaller and systolic function is minimally improved. right ventricular free wall hypokinesis appears more global, but of similar magnitude. cxr : the cardiac silhouette is markedly enlarged, accompanied by pulmonary vascular congestion and small bilateral pleural effusions. current examination is limited by exclusion of the extreme lung apices. repeat radiograph to include the entirety of the lungs is recommended. finally, icd remains in place with leads overlying right atrium and right ventricle. brief hospital course: 43yo male patient of dr. with severe dilated nonischemic cardiomyopathy, systolic chf, lvef 15%, massively dilated lv, morbid obesity with weight in excess of 415 lbs., s/p biv/icd with lbbb, osa who was directly admitted to ccu for decompensated systolic chf requiring iv milrinone and lasix for diuresis. . # pump/decompensated systolic heart failure: ef 15% during last echo in thought to be nonischemic cardiac myopathy, baseline weight prior to admission 400 pounds on diuretics (torsmide 60 mg ). however, patient was hypotensive with that regimen. upon admission patient was started on lasix drip up to 30 mg/hr. patient was very hypotensive and required neosynephrine drip and milrinone with beta-blocker to reduce tachycardia. patient was diuresing 5-10 l per day and requiring up to 300 meq potassium. electrolytes were monitored three time daily and as noted potassium was repleted agressively with a goal of 4.5 -5. patient was also started on metalazone, aldactone, and acetazolamide. diuresis was continued until patient's creatinine level peaked at 2.4. in total patient was diuresed 56 liters. on discharge patient was transitioned to oral medications including torsemide 40mg , aldactone 50mg daily, with potassium 40meq . patient will be followed closely as an outpatient by dr. . # rhythm: on admission patient had a v paced/av paced rhythm (with biv/icd). during the admission patient was monitored on telemetry for concern of increased ectopy given patient was being treated with milrinone and iv lasix. throughout the hospitalization patient had multiple episodes of non sustained ventricular tachycardia. patient was placed on metoprolol and uptitrated to toprol xl 300mg daily at discharge. of note patient had three episodes of sustained ventricular tachycardia which led to ventricular fibrillation and icd firing after failed anti tachycardic pacing. the first two episodes reguiring icd firing were in the setting of milrinone. the final episode of v fib reguiring icd firing occured after milrinone was stopped and was thought to be secondary to changes in intracellular electrolytes mainly potassium and digoxin. prior to discharge patient went three days without any episodes of non sustained ventricular tachycardia. patient will be followed as an outpatient by both electrophysiology and heart failure clinics. . # acute vs chronic renal failure: patient with unknown recent baseline. crt on admission was 1.5 and 1.3 in . most likely secondary to poor cardiac output. lisinopril was held. creatinine was followed during the hospitalization and slowly trended up, during the admission it was as high as 2.4 prior to iv lasix being held. at discharge patient crt decreased to 2.1. renal function will be followed by dr. in the outpatient clinic. . # coronaries: patient without history of coronary artery disease. however, no catheterization in the past. patient was continued on asa. . # gout: patient had an episode of gout during admission involving the left great toe. given colchicine which improved pain. developed diarrhea which resolved when colchicine was stopped. . # osa: stable during admission. not on cpap/bipap at home. _ _ _ ________________________________________________________________

the pain would come on consistently after dinner and be substernal and feel like burning. he would then get a "funny" feeling down the lateral aspects of his arms and also start to have some tingling in his gums. the pain would last for approx 40 minutes and then go away. he tried both tums and nitro and got no relief. . on he presented to with these complaints and was ruled out by ekgs and enzymes. he was worked up for atypical chest pain. a ct of chest without contrast was negative. he was started on prednisone for inflammation and doxycycline for possible lymes disease (sounds like he had a positive culture). he was discharged to home when two days ago he had the pain again. substernal, radiating to arms, no diaphoresis or shortness of breath. it was while he was driving and was now relieved by nitro (which was different than his other episodes). he went to bed that night and then woke up again with the pain. it again was relieved by nitro, so he decided to return to the hopsital. he had positive troponin rise, negative ck, and possible new ekg changes with st depressions. he was transferred to here at that time. . on ros he does endorse six months of increasing dyspnea on exertion, fatigue and inability to get very far without needing to sit down. is dizzy when standing still. has not fallen. no fevers or chills or changes in weight. past medical history:

showed ck 123->116->94, ck-mb 1.5->1.8->1.2, tropt 0.02->0.04->0.03. he was instructed to quit smoking and follow up with his cardiologist. per the cardiology admission note, he was also "started on prednisone for inflammation and doxycycline for possible lyme disease." however, he continued to have substernal burning chest pain radiating into his bilateral arms over the past week. he returned to where ces showed ck 164, ck-mb 5.1, and tropt 0.1, and ekg per report showed old q in inferior leads, some 1mm elevations, lateral st depressions. he was continued on asa, loaded with plavix 300 mg, and started on heparin gtt. he was transferred to for further evaluation. he was admitted to cardiology on , continued on heparin gtt, asa 325 daily, plavix 75 mg daily, and crestor was changed to atorvastatin 80 mg daily. trop t peaked at 0.17, ck-mb at 11. he had a cardiac cathterization which showed known occlusions of svg-om1, svg-om3, svg-pda, lima-d1; and successful ptca and stenting of

he was found to have a dense left hemiplegia and decreased responsiveness. a code stroke was called. the patient was found to be awake but with decreased alertness, left facial droop, left hemiparesis, left eye deviation, and dysarthria. nihss 23. head cta and ctp showed complete occlusion of the cervical and intracranial right ica and of the right mca, the right aca is patent, likely supplied by the anterior communicating artery, subtle loss of -white matter differentiation and a large area of matched decreased cerebral blood volume and flow in the right middle cerebral artery territory, consistent with a large acute infarction, no evidence of hemorrhage. he was taken immediately to cerebral angiography, where he had ia tpa and merci to the right ica, and penumbra to the right mca, with ia ntg to right mca for spasm. he was intubated and transferred to the neuroicu. in the neurology icu, he was maintained on aspirin and plavix. mri/mra head showed a large acute infarction with extensive hemorrhagic transformation in the right mca territory, small acute infarction in the right aca territory, and successful revascularization of the right ica and mca. repeat head cts showed increased mass effect and right uncal herniation, and he was started on mannitol. he remained stable and mannitol was discontinued. tte showed lvef 40%, no thrombus/mass in the body of the lv, no asd or pfo. usg of the legs no evidence of venous thrombosis. eeg showed asymmetry with low voltage activity over the right side, and overall diffuse encephalopathy. he had some fluctuations in his mental status due to infection (see below) and remained significantly abulic. at times during his stay, he complained of chest pain, but cardiac enzymes were always unremarkable and ekg was unchanged. he was maintained on asa, plavix, and eventually heparin/coumadin (see below). he was treated with antihypertensives and cholesterol lowering medications. after extubation he was found to have persistent high respiratory rate (20-32). as this was concerning for pulmonary embolism, he underwent two consecutive chest cta; both revealed a small lesion in the lower segment of the left inferior lobe. heparin was started on , and warfarin 5mg daily was started (held prior to this for procedures). goal inr is . he was discharged on lovenox as a bridge to coumadin and will need to have inrs checked until the inr is therapeutic. he was noted to have a recent lyme titer positive at his pcp's office and was treated with doxycycline 100 mg po bid to complete a 14 day course; discontinued on . he had a fever and was diagnosed with a pseudomonas uti. he was initially started on cefazolin but this was changed to cefepime after persistent fever. he completed a 7 day course on . his diabetes was managed by , with lantus, humalog, and oral hypoglycemics. a1c was 13.7. he had a loose left front tooth, which was extracted on without complications. he passed his

neglect, and a dense left hemiparesis. discharge instructions: you were admitted to the hospital for chest pain. it was determined to be related to your heart because we saw a rise in your cardiac enzymes. your pain was also relieved by nitro, again making us think it was related to your heart. we monitored you over the weekend while you were on a heparin drip through your iv. you did well and only had the recurrence of chest pain once. your cardiac enzymes also started to decrease. unfortunately before your discharge you presented subtle onset of left sided weakness, and code stroke was called. you underwent procedures to remove a clot from your left cerebral artery. during this acute phase you were intubated with mechanical ventilation. after your doctors noted that presented fast breathing, and you were found to have pulmonary embolism. to treat and prevent further episodes you need to take coumadin to make your blood thinner. you also had a broken tooth, which was removed during this admission. although you passed the swallow evaluation you had significant fluctuation of your mental status, which required a tube in your stomach, so you can receive your medications and feeds consistently. your diabetes was out of control and some adjustment of your medications was required. please call your doctor or return to the hospital for any new weakness, numbness, tingling, visual changes, loss of consciousness, chest pain, shortness of breath, lightheadedness, fainting, nausea, vomiting or any other conerns. call 911 if it is an emergency. please stop smoking.

immunosuppressant regimen (cellcept/tacrolimus. she had an episode of fevers/chills and was temporarily on vanc/zosyn, however, the sxs resumed and her cultures remained negative. on she underwent living related renal transplant from her daughter. it was noted that she had a very thin posterior fascia and peritoneum. therefore, the kidney was ultimately intraperitoneal in the retroperitoneal space. the iliac vessels were soft without significant plaque. the donor kidney had a single renal artery with an early bifurcation and a single renal vein and a single ureter. the kidney pinked up and produced urine. please refer to operative note. postop, she was sent to the sicu due to volume overload and respiratory difficulty. respiratory function improved. urine output was excellent. she

femur (), who was admitted from rehab for for acute respiratory distress and hypoxia. she was found to have bilateral pleural effusions, as well as a large hiatal hernia which was compressing her left atrium and likely contributing to her pulmonary effusions. over her hospital course, ms. y developed aspiration pna, pseudomonal uti, and c. difficile colitis. each of these issues is addressed below. ##hypoxia the patient was admitted on from her rehab facility with increased rr and o2 saturations in the 80s. her o2 requirement on admission was 6l. cxr in the ed revealed bibasilar infiltrates, and chest ct revealed bibasilar effusions and collapse of the right middle, right lower, and left lower lung. her effusions were thought to be caused at least in part by compression of her left atrium by her hiatal hernia, leading to increased pressure in her pulmonary vasculature. empiric levofloxacin and vancomycin were started for pneumonia. no evidence of pulmonary embolism was seen on cta. on , 2x 20 mg iv lasix was given, leading to a diuresis of 1.5l and improvement in her hypoxia (o2 requirement from 6 to 3l). vancomycin and levofloxacin were discontinued on because no clear evidence of pna had been found. between and , iv lasix was used only intermittently because of concern for her preload limitations caused by the hiatal hernia compressing her left atrium (please see 'hiatal hernia' as separate issue below). on , cxr showed new perihilar opacities worrisome for aspiration. iv flagyl was added to her ceftazidime (which she was already taking for pseudomonas uti, discussed as separate issue below) for empiric coverage of aspiration pna. her iv flagyl and ceftazidime were continued for a 10 day course. on , the patient's o2 requirement increased from 2l to 3l. she received 2x 20 mg iv lasix, to which she diuresed 1.3 l. on , a thoracentesis was performed in her r pleural space, and 850 ml of straw-colored transudate was removed. pleural fluid analysis revealed a transudate, and cultures have not grown any organisms to date. diuresis with 1 or 2 20 mg doses of iv lasix per day was continued on (tbb goal -500 cc), and by , her oxygen requirement had been reduced to 0.5-1l. on , the patient underwent endoscopic gastric pulldown with double peg placement (see management of hiatal hernia as separate issue below), and her post-op o2 requirement was initially 4l. between and , she was diuresed with 20 mg doses of iv lasix to a tbb goal -500, and on , her o2 requirement was 0.5-1l. on , the patient was transitioned from iv lasix to 40 mg po lasix . the patient's daily tbb was -250 to -500 l on this dosage, and she was increased to 60 mg po lasix . for rehab planning, it is recommended that this dosage be weaned as necessary (based on her o2 requirement, daily tbb, and clinical volume status) so that she is not chronically using lasix for diuresis. ##hiatal hernia echocardiogram revealed a hiatal hernia compressing the l atrium. ejection fraction was 70%. on , ngt placement under fluoroscopy was attempted but unsuccessful. iv iv reglan was begun on in order to promote forward motility and gastric emptying. the patient was made npo with all non-essential po meds held, and on , a picc line was placed for tpn. tpn was started on and continued until . on , the patient underwent laparoscopic gastric pulldown and double peg placement in order to anchor her stomach and prevent reherniation/volvulus. on , she was transitioned to an oral diet of nectar thick liquids and pureed solids. on , she began getting tube feeds through one of her peg tubes (rate of 15 cc/hr to goal rate of 45 cc/hr). by , her tube feeds were at goal, and she was taking minimal po's (thick liquids, pureed solids, crushed pills). of note, her foley catheter was left in place because her mobility was still quite limited at the time of discharge. however, once she is able to progress in her rehabilitation and move more easily, foley should be discontinued. ##pseudomonal uti patient was diagnosed with uti on , and cultures grew pseudomonas sensitive to ceftazidime. a five day course of ceftazidime was started on . ceftazidime was continued past five days for concurrent empiric coverage of aspiration pna (see hypoxia section above). ##c. dificile colitis on , the patient's wbc rose from 12.3 to 16.1, and on , it rose further to 21.6. she was also having diarrhea ( episodes/day) during this time. stool specimen was newly positive for c. difficile toxin on , and this was thought to underlie her leukocytosis. po liquid vancomycin was started on . on , her wbc was reduced to 13.7, and by , it had decrased <10. ##anemia the patient had two episodes of hct drops during her admission. the first occurred on , when her hct dropped from 29.0 to 24.1. cbc was immediately rechecked, and hct rose back to 27.8 without intervention. this hct drop was thought most likely due to fluid shift, dilution from tpn, and/or lab error caused by drawing the blood from her picc line. the pt's hct stayed stable from to , when it dropped from 26.4 to 21.9 overnight. 1u of prbcs were given, and her post-transfusion hct was 30.8 because of her endoscopic surgery on , there was concern for internal bleeding. ct scans were taken of her abdomen, l thigh, and l humerus. there was no active extravasation, but fluid collections representing seromas vs. hematomas were seen in her r flank and l hip, likely caused by her fall and humeral/femoral fractures. in the absence of obvious extravasation, the differential for her hct drop was fluid shift from her surgery or lab abnormalities caused by her picc line. her large increase in hct (21.9 to 30.8) with only 1u of prbcs suggested that her hct drop was not caused by a true pathology. ##rehabilitation from open reduction internal fixation of l femur the patient was followed by the orthopedic trauma team throughout her stay, and per their recommendations, weight-bearing as tolerated/passive range of motion exercises were performed for her l femur and non-weight bearing/range of motion as tolerated exercises for her l humerus. a four-week course of lovenox was continued for dvt prophylaxis. lovenox was continued because of her high risk of dvt (immobile, s/p orthopedic and abdominal surgery, elderly). tylenol 1g tid was used for pain. iv morphine 0.25 mg was started on for pain as well. staples from her l thigh incision were removed on . there was no evidence of hemarthrosis during her admission. outpatient follow-up with dr. np has been scheduled. ##diabetes the patient's home metformin was held, and she was treated with insulin sliding scale, as well as supplemental insulin while receiving her tpn from to . once she transitioned from tpn to tube feeds, she was being controlled only on her insulin ss. she will be discharged on the sliding scale, while holding her home meformin. ##pressure ulcers the patient had a sacral ulcer and scattered bilateral heel ulcers on admission. she received daily wound care with elevation of both heels off the bed using boots. she was also brought ouf of bed as tolerated in order to relieve pressure on her ulcerated areas. #nutrition the patient was on tpn from . thereafter, she was taking limited po diet (nectar thick liquids/pureed solids) and tube feeds at a goal rate of 45 cc/hr. ##dvt prophylaxis lovenox 40 mg sc daily was used for dvt prophylaxis. medications on admission: enoxaparin 30 mg subcutaneous qd for 4 weeks. ascorbic acid 500 mg po daily b complex vitamins po daily calcium carbonate 500 mg po daily cholecalciferol

compression s/p gastric pulldown and peg placement x2 bilateral pleural effusions hypoxia clostridium difficile colitis pseudomonas aeruginosa uti aspiration pneumonia discharge condition: stable on 0.5-1l oxygen. discharge instructions: you were admitted from your nursing home with shortness of breath and low oxygen. you were found to have fluid around your lungs which is new and was compressing your lungs. this is secondary to your large hernia that was displacing your stomach into your chest. we treated your low oxygen by giving you a medication that helps you urinate out excess body fluid. your oxygen improved steadily during your hospital stay. for your hernia, we initially stopped feeding you by mouth and started you on iv nutrition. you then underwent a surgery in which your stomach was pulled down closer to its original position and anchored to your abdominal wall using two tubes. following surgery, your iv nutrition was stopped, and you were fed both orally as well as through your stomach tube. in addition to your low oxygen level and your hernia, you also developed infection of your lungs, urinary tract, and gi tract (at different points during your admission). we treated each of these infections with the appropriate antibiotics. on admission, you were still recovering from your left arm and left femur fracture. the orthopedics team followed you during your admission, and we tried to get you out of bed as much as possible in order to do weight-bearing exercises. you had some pressure sores and were seen by wound care. please take all your medications as written. the following changes were made to your medications: new: 1) albuterol/ipratropium inhalors as needed for shortness of breath (you do not need to have this at home if it does not help you) 2) vancomycin 125mg orally four times a day (q6 hours) until 3) subcutaneous insulin for your diabetes 4) lasix 60 mg two times a day to prevent fluid in your lungs 5) oxycodone 2.5 mg twice a day as needed for pain. changes: please continue enoxaparin 40mg sub-cutaneous once a day until you talk to your orthopedist. calcium carbonate increased to 500mg three times a day vitamin d increased to 800

splenomegaly, transferred to with acute respiratory distress, with rapidly expanding left pleural effusion. chest tube placed pm drained ~920 cc of blood-colored thin fluid. improved on abx, then developed rll presumed vap, found to be stenotrophomonas, to ceftaz (bactrim best but patient has sulfa allergy, resistant to levoflox). on broad spectrum antibiotics (vanc/voriconazole/ceftazidime/acyclovir ppx) id following, initially was on stress dose steroids, now weaned to daily iv 20mg dose for gvhd. . active issues: # hypoxic respiratory failure: initially due to white out of left lung likely due to pneumonia/rapidly expanding serosanguinous pleural effusion. her ct scan revealed pan lobar consolidation of lul/ lll and patchy involvement in the rll too with drainage of the pleural space with the chest tube. bronch showed very thick, purulent secretions, obtained samples. patient was continued on abx regimen since culture data nonspecific/pending (vanc//voriconazole/levoflox/acyclovir ppx). pna and effusions improved dramatically around the 7th, but since the 9-10th, cxr shows worsening rll process, likely infiltrate. patient was ct scanned which corroborated with infiltrate as opposed to edema and patient was bronch'ed on , minimal secretions noted, growing stenotrophomonas to ceftaz (bactrim best but patient has sulfa allergy; resistant to levoflox). patient continued on ceftaz(course length to be dictated by id, likely 2 wks), vancomycin(today is day , can stop afterwards), vori (can d/c, will need to f/u with id), & acyclovir ppx. chest tube has since been removed with no complications. patient initially headed to tracheostomy route but ended up responding beautifully to ceftaz and was extubated . she was transitioned back to the floor but on became acutely tachypneic and hypoxic and was transferred back to the icu. antifungal coverage had been changed to micafungin on . cxr showed worsening r sided pleural effusion and she underwent therapeutic thoracentesis with placement of a pigtail catheter with drainage of >1l serosanguinous fluid, exudative which was removed . she was started on vancomycin at time of icu transfer for possible worsening on chest ct of infectious process. sputum gs showed 3+ gpcs in pairs. induced sputum was sent. she was weaned to 3l nc with rr in 20s and was deemed stable for transfer back to floor on . she subsequently developed worsening tachypnea and hemoptysis on and was transferred back to the icu. she became increasingly hypoxic relatively rapidly and hct was noted to be falling. after a discussion with her, her husband, and the bmt team, the decision was made to intubate the patient for hypoxia and airway protection. she also required plt and prbc transfusion at this time. follow up chest imaging revealed a possible empyema vs complex loculated effusion with rind. thoracic surgery placed a new chest tube on the right while intubated with some effect. antibiotics were broadened to include tigecycline but the patient continued to require maximal ventilatory support. . # acute on chronic renal failure: etiology likely oliguric atn in setting of sepsis. baseline cr of 1.3-1.4, went as high as 3.3, with metabolic acidosis and electrolyte derrangements. at first tried to balance with respiratory alkalosis through ventilator settings but it became apparent after 1-2 days in the icu that she would benefit from dialysis. cvvh was initiated with great results, improvement in ph, electrolytes, & fluid balance. on , patient was started on hd,

appearance of the calcified uterine fibroid. 5. diffusely dense bones, unchanged compared to prior. -ct chest w/o contrast study date of 3:32 pm impression: 1. bilateral effusions, right greater than left, are slightly increased from prior studies. there is associated relaxation atelectasis. 2. subtle peribronchovascular scattered ground-glass opacities in the right upper lobe, nonspecific, compatible with either infectious or inflammatory etiologies. the lungs are otherwise clear without consolidative opacities to suggest pneumonia. 3. splenomegaly. 4. increased ascites. 5. diffusely sclerotic bones, reflects underlying mds. - ct head w/o contrast study date of 4:58 pm impression: 1. unchanged small amount of bifrontal subarachnoid hemorrhage. no new foci of hemorrhage identified, however portions of the brain are incompletely evaluated in the presence of motion artifact despite second attempt. 2. no evidence of parenchymal hemorrhage or intra- or extra-axial hematoma within limitation of motion degraded study. 3. persistent opacification of mastoid air cells without osseous erosion. persistent mucosal thickening within paranasal sinuses. recommend clinical correlation to exclude the possibility of infection. -head ct w/o contrast 1. small amount of bifrontal subarachnoid hemorrhage. 2. 5 mm hyperdensity projecting over the right anterolateral temporal lobe likely represents a bone-related artifact 3. opacification of the mastoid air cells without osseous erosion, and possible fluid in the paranasal sinuses, new since the prior study. clinical correlation is advised regarding the possibility of an infection. -transvaginal u/s 1. heterogeneous uterus with thickening of the endometrial stripe measuring up to 1 cm, concerning in a postmenopausal patient. consider hysteroscopy/direct visualization for further evaluation. 2. normal appearance of both ovaries, without adnexal masses. 3. moderate-to-large amount of free fluid is seen within the pelvis, similar to recent prior ct exam. 4. although an exophytic partially calcified fibroid is suggested extending from the left lateral aspect of the fundus on recent prior ct, this is not visualized on ultrasound. - ct chest//pelvis w/o contrast () 1. bilateral pleural effusions consisting of simple or chylous fluid, with compressive atelectasis. 2. trace intraperitoneal free fluid, but no

deranged lfts max bili 11 in icu which have trended down ? drug effect ? gvhd and was treated with steroids. u/s was normal. she was still overloaded re volume status but urine output improved and fluid status improved with boluses of furosemide on advice of renal. her diet was advanced and was latterly able to eat normally and take oral meds by . she had no further fevers and antimicrobials rationalised . iv mp stopped on but restarted on cefepime stopped . and iv cefepime/ started due to new onset pain although scan negative ? gvhd. all antibiotics were stopped on . respiratory decompensation and ct showed pulmonary edema and responded to aggressive diuresis with considerable improvement in fluid status. she was found to have hlaii antibodies which do not necessitate hla matched platelets. due to deteriorating bili with tapering iv steroids, ivmp increased back to 30mg . symptomatically much improved so decreased steriods to 20mg on . although she was still requiring frequent transfusions of platelets and blood and needed to continue micafungin, it was felt that the pt was stable enough to be discharged to the apartments with daily monitoring at the clinic. . . # myelodysplastic syndrome/myeloproliferative disorder: allo sct . on acyclovir, and mica. patient underwnet pre-conditioning treatment with busulfan/cytoxan. she tolerated busulfan well, but started to experience nausea and abdominal discomfort with cytoxan. she was treated for nausea. she received stem cells from her sister without incident. required prbc and platelet transfusions during times. total bilirubin was elevated (direct bilirubin elevated) at one point, but abdominal ultasound was negative. she was started on tpn. she was transferred to the icu for febrile neutropenia and hypoxic respiratory failure. solumedrol was continued, but bactrim (for pcp ) was held secondary to profound neutropenia. acyclovir was also held as per bmt recommendations. in he icu, the patient had a baseline anemia bm suppression s/p transplant, but developed a falling hct and a small amount of vaginal bleeding in the context of low platelets (plts 7). ct chest/abdomen/pelvis did not identify any other source of bleed. no evidence of rp or thigh bleed was found on physical exam. therefore, the patient was tranfused prbc to a goal hct >21. platelets remained low in spite of platelet transfusions, presumably secondary to the patient's splenomegaly. gynecology recommended vaginal u/s that was done on . in the icu, the patient's neutropenia persisted throughout her icu stay, but her anc rose to 494 before she left the icu. she was put on neutropenic precautions and treated with filgrastim. she was treated with broad spectrum abx as discussed above under respiratory failure. abx will be continued until anc>500 as per id. the patient was thrombocytopenic throughout her icu course and has been refractory to platelet transfusions. after transfusion, her platelets briefly rise by points, but quickly drop back to her baseline of 7. this is presumed to be because of her significant splenomegaly. it was decided that she would be transfused plts only before procedures or in setting of active bleeding and transfusion goal was latterly set to aim for a hct>20 and plt>10 to reduce the transfusion burden due to high requirement of transfusions and lack of symptoms at this level. on transfer back to bmt floor from the micu, counts were increasing on gcsf. she remained on meropenem, vancomycin, ciprofloxacin, and micafungin until she was no longer neutropenic. thrombocytopenia was noted to be refractory to platelets, which were then only given when pt was showing signs of bleeding. pra was negative, so refractoriness was thought to be splenomegaly. after transfer to bmt floor from micu, patient was more responsive to platelets although this was again an issue by with little increase in her counts despite transfusions and having difficulty even attaining a platelet count of 20. due to absence of fevers, stopped mica, cefepime and vanc on . afebrile, no longer neutropenic. had ih pentamidine for prophylaxis. changed cipro to cefepime due to possible drug effect causing pancytopenia. started atovaquone for pcp and stopped cefepime . stopped atovaquone and started dapsone for pcp . bone marrow from was hypocellular but otherwise trilineage hematopoesis. cmv 1070 copies - started treatment dose iv gancyclovir . . #febrile neutropenia: patient was neutropenic during admission, and became febrile. initially was started on vancomycin, cefepime and micafungin, but she continued to have fevers and developed a cough that continued to worsen. ct scan on and showed no evidence of infiltrate. micafungin was changed to voriconazole on for coverage of aspergillus. pt triggered several times for tachycardia and tachypnea related to fever and was transferred to the icu for closer monitoring. the patient's neutropenia persisted throughout her icu stay, but her anc rose to 494 before she left the icu. she was put on neutropenic precautions and treated with filgrastim. she was treated with broad spectrum abx as discussed above under respiratory failure. abx were continued. on return to bmt floor from icu, patient remained on meropenem, vancomycin, ciprofloxacin, and micafungin while still neutropenic. she was planned to continued micafungin as an outpt at the clinic . #hypoxemic respiratory failure requiring icu transfer: in the icu the patient developed hypoxemic respiratory failure, initially secondary to volume overload with flash pulmonary edema in the context of a prbc transfusion. this was all likely complicated by a probable pneumonia (viral, bacterial or fungal). the patient was intubated for hypoxemic resp failure and ventilated for 12 days. the patient's pneumonia was treated w/ meropenem, cipro, vanc, micafungin as per id recs and her respiratory status improved. she was extubated successfully on . id recommended that micafungin/meropenem be continued until anc>500. her most recent granulocyte count is 494 on . the patient was given mucinex prn for cough. after starting hd, the patient's fluid balance became positive and she continues to respond poorly to lasix. her resp status nevertheless continues to be good and she remained clinically stable in this regard on ra until her episode of decompensated pulmonary edema on (see note on pulmonary edema for details). . #arf: no longer dialysis dependent. pt developed acutely worsening renal function after intubation and the cause was felt to be atn secondary to hypoperfusion during an episode of hypotension during intubation. she developed worsening hypervolemia, hyperkalemia up to 6.3 and a creatinine level of 4.1 in spite of intravenous fluids and treatment for hyperkalemia. the pt was treated w/ cvvh and volume was successfully removed over 8 days. however the pt's renal function continued to be poor and the patient was switched to intermittent hd when the patient was off pressors and relatively stable. she was transferred back to the floor once stable. while on the floor, she was dialysed with hd as needed for fluid removal and for uremia when renal function did not significantly improve. patient was noted to have altered mental status likely uremia as this improved after dialysis sessions. medications were renally dosed. she had a temporary dialysis line inserted on and it was felt that her uremia may be contributing to altered mental status although this was multi-factorial and resolved by early 11/. she had bilateral effusions and r effusion worse on ct . effusions improved with aggressive diuresis although by right effusion still present and small-moderate. she passed progressively higher volumes of urine and by passed 1000ml urine over 24 hrs as end of and this trended upwards. fluid status improved but she still had gross pitting edema to knees bilaterally. on advice of renal she was slowly started on iv furosemide boluses to help her fluid status. rby she no longer required dialysis. after an episode of acute pulmonary edema, she as aggressively diuresed from onwards with 80-100mg iv furosemide and her fluid status greatly improved. with diuresis, she was clinically improving and renal function was stable. dialysis line removed with platelet cover . kidney function has been stable and slowly improving. . # confusion: this was considered likely multifactorial given a high bili which improved, a high bun on dialysis and the possibility of infection. she was treated for infectious etiologies and /mica/vanc stopped . her lfts improved but did not resolve to the normal range and she was dialysed until her renal function recovered whereupon she no longer required dialysis. following discontinuation of antibiotics, she greatly improved in the matter of a few days to the extent that by she was gcs 15/15. . # subarachnoid hemorrhage: traumatic sah following fall out of bed on in the context of considerable thrombocytopenia and ct-head showed small bifrtontal sah with no itraparenchymal element. stable on rpt head ct. she was seen by the neurosurgery service who recommended rescanning only if she had a change in neuro exam and recommended transfusing platelets. she was rescanned on for concern for worsening altered mental status and bleed was unchanged. since she had been refractory to platelet transfusions, she was given doses of amicar and ddavp to avoid further bleed. her blood pressure was controlled initially with iv hydralazine and ;latterly has been transitioned to oral labetalol. neurologic status improved (she had been confused post-icu) and she had no sequelae clinically of her sah. a mild anisocoria was noted with the left pupil very marginally larger than the right. she otherwise had an unremarkable neuro exam other than mild jerky saccades. on overnight, fell out of bed and head ct showed bifrontal subarachnoid hemorrhage. she will need f/u with neurosurgery in 2 weeks. . # pancytopenia: ? cause ? viral ? drug effect ? failure of graft. stopped potential incriminating meds. d/w renal changed hydralazine to labetalol 100mg tid, stopped famotidine, stopped fluconazole and changed to mica iv, stopped metoclopramide and olanzapine prn. had bmbx - results awaited. transfused 2 units rcc hb 6.7/18.6 to 8.2/22.8. investigated dat -ve , hit ab pending, hapto normal, ldh normal smear -ve for schistocytes. started gcsf 300mcg qd. counts static. still requiring regular transfusions. bmbx . platelet count not increasing as of and labs sent for hla ab. ivig 0.4g/kg 25g one dose . gcsf was stopped on . . #gvhd: rash was present on back resolved. bili was high and decreased and remained stable. she initially had diarrhea initially which resolved. in the icu, cyclosporin levels were checked qam and cyclosporin was redosed if level <100 as per bmt recs. ivmp was continued in the icu. in the icu, the patient's t. bili and ap were initially elevated, but trended down during the patient's icu stay. likely the elevation was secondary to a medication effect vs gvhd. abdominal u/s found no biliary/gallbladder pathology. on her arrival in the icu, the patient was treated with voriconazole in the context of neutropenia and a possible pneumonia. this was stopped because of possible hepatotoxicity and micafungin was used instead. in the course post return rom the icu, we tapered iv methylpred and stopped on cyclosporin levels were taken daily and dose was adjusted accordingly. cyclosporin level aim was <100 in icu on renal advice and on transfer to the floor 100-150 but when renal function improved, this was increased to 150-200. restarted iv mp at 30mg qd. rash improving. changed to oral cyclosporin 11/4nd increased dose to 100mg and to 125mg on . level 263 on and reduced to 75mg . due to nausea, changed to cyclosporin iv 75mg . changed ivmp to oral prednisone 40mg qd and pred decreased to 20mg . changed tto cyclosporin 75/100 on . increased cyclopsorin to 100mg iv on and restarted ivmp 30mg . cyclosporin changed to 150mg and good level . increased to cyclosporin 175/150 on . . # pulmonary edema: respiratory decompensation dropped sats to 88% ra and now 94% on 2l o2 with initially high rr36 which also settled. bp maintained. but gradual over last 3 days - ct showed pulmonary edema and aggressively diuresed total 100mg iv furosemide . echo showed good lv function, mod mr/tr and pulmonary htn. further 100mg iv furosemide and to good effect and symptomatic improvement. isosorbide dinitrate 10mg tid started for decreasing afterload. if decompensates for further furosemide and trial of cpap +/- nitro iv infusion. her volume status improved and on , lasix was discontinued. . #cough and changing ggos on ct: persistent since admission ? cause ? reactive (asthma) ? secondary to fluid overload ? infectious started on regular albuterol nebs and incentive spirometer. pertussis -ve and ct-chest showed some change in ggos which have migrated. pulm consulteda dn felt wide differential. repeat ct chest 1 week and started cough suppressants with guaifensain/dextro qid regularly and added codeine prn which improved matters. f/u ct-chest - centrilobular ggo in lul suspicious for opportunistic infection - pulmonolary unimpressed and no current need for bronch. started oral levofloxacin and antibiotics changed to iv cefepime and given bowel concern. id reviewed and concerned re increased sob although not diuresed in past 2 days and found to have florid pulmonary edema by . she was initially continued on levofloxacin and then switched to cipro at discharge. diuresed sucessfully. . # acute pain: ? gvhd ? constipation. tender lower and voluntary guarding in rlq and r flank - eased by oxycodone. ct- /pelvis without contrast showed showed worsening ascites since prev film, no free air, fluid collection or abscess, no thickened bowel to suggest colitis (although no oral contrast) and no renal abnormalities or evidence of hematoma. antibiotics chaged to iv cefepime and metronidazoel (possible concern for c difficile given increased stool output) and negative. id recommended stopping iv cefepime and adding iv levofloxacin and keep iv metronidazole. generally resolved by with single episode . constipation was felt somewhat responsible. . # cmv reactivation: cmv vl 1070. started iv gancyclovir and increased to 2.5mg/kg on . no peripheral signs of cmv. given concerns for cmv with no other organ focus, seen by ophthalmology and evidence of retinal hemorrhage in supero-temporal field close to disc no evidence of cmv retinitis. will need repeat cmv levels on (one week from ). . # vaginal bleeding: noted to passing blood with clots through vagina while in icu stay in the setting of low platelets. she was evaluated by the gyn service who recommended vaginal u/s that showed thickened endometrial stripe concerning for endometrial neoplasm or other pathology. in the setting of her recent transplant and low platelets, no intervention at this time, but they recommended that she followup with a gynecologist after discharge. . #htn: given sah strict bp control

identified. if the patient has not been fasting, repeat ultrasound after fasting may be obtained, otherwise further evaluation with mri to exclude polyposis or potential gallbladder malignancy is recommended. 2. echogenic liver compatible with fatty deposition. other forms of liver disease, including significant hepatic cirrhosis/fibrosis cannot be excluded on this examination. 3. extrahepatic cbd cannot be reliably identified. there is suggestion of central biliary dilation. ctpa: 1. pe involving the right lower lobe branch of the pulmonary artery without evidence right heart strain. 2. bilateral moderate pleural effusions with compressive atelectasis. 3. small right upper lobe opacity - inflammatory versus infectious etiologies may be considered. mrcp: 1. no significant change in pancreatic edema due to known pancreatitis. small acute fluid collections surrounding the pancreatic body and tail have increased from . no necrosis. 2. no wall nodularity or obvious filling defect in the gallbladder. 3. tapering of the common bile duct as it enters the pancreatic head is likely secondary to edema, with minimal central ductal dilatation. no peripheral intrahepatic biliary ductal dilatation. 4. fullness of the left renal collecting system is unchanged from . cxr (): semi-upright ap view of the chest: lung volumes are diminished. within this limitation, there is no new focal consolidation. there is no large pleural effusion although probable small left pleural effusion is present. there is no pneumothorax. cardiomediastinal silhouette is similar to prior. vascular congestion has decreased. right-sided picc follows normal course terminating in the lower svc. brief hospital course: 60 yom with hld, history of etoh use admitted to for epigastric pain on , found to have pancreatitis by imaging and labs, transferred for ercp. . # pancreatitis: etiology likely due to etoh due to history and lack of other causes. initially at had lipase >1000 and a ct scan with evidence of pancreatic edema and fat stranding. mrcp showed no cbd dilation or filling defect to suggest stone. ruq u/s without evidence of stone although the study was poor due to body habitus. triglycerides normal. not on medications that can cause pancreatitis. did not undergo ercp in house as his lfts normalized at admission and imaging did not suggest a retained stone. was treated symptomatically with dilaudid for pain control originally requiring a pca and eventually being weaned to minimal narcotics. there was also an ileus due to likely a combination of pancreatitis and narcotics; he began stooling after transfer from the micu. imaging did not show evidence of necrosis. he began taking clears on day 9 without pain, and was advanced to full diet without pain by the time of discharge. he was counseled regarding abstinence from alcohol as this was likely the cause of his pancreatitis. . # diverticulitis: on admission to pt had abdominal ct that showed some evidence of mild sigmoid diverticulitis and had a normal wbc count. by the time of transfer to 3 days later, he had severe llq pain with a wbc count of 20k and 22% bandemia. he was started on cipro/flagyl at osh and maintained for a 7 day course in house here (unclear when started cipro/flagyl at osh). his pain resolved relatively quickly in the micu here, and upon transfer to the floor a few days later had resolved. . # pulmonary embolism: on transfer to , the patient was noted to be tachycardic and hypoxic. initially due to his history of asthma, he was treated here with steroids and nebulizers. when his symptoms did not resolve, and due to his history of factor v leiden, a ctpa was ordered which showed a rll embolus. he was started on a heparin drip, changed to lovenox and eventually transitioned to coumadin. of note, 1 year prior he had a tka and a dvt. during that workup, he was found to be factor v leiden positive. he will likely need lifelong anticoagulation as this is his second event. he was discharged with lovenox to bridge to coumadin. . # electrolyte abnormalities: during his floor stay, he had multiple days of hypokalemia and hypophosphatemia requiring replacement, which resolved by the time of discharge. he will have a chem7 drawn as an outpatient 5 days after discharge to be faxed to his pcp to make sure he does not have any recurrant electrolyte abnormalities. . # leukocytosis: persistently elevated wbc count throughout admission. per osh records, pt presented with a normal wbc count that trended up to 20 with 22% bandemia prior to transfer secondary to diverticulitis. originally this was thought secondary to his asthma treatment with po steroids, however the wbc count did not resolve. at the time of discharge, he has continued to be afebrile and does not endorse any infectious symptoms. chest xray was negative for infiltrate. likely it is from a stress reaction to his admission diagnoses, however he will have a cbc in 5 days as an outpatient to reassess. medications on admission: liptor 10mg dialy advair 250/50 one puff albuterol discharge medications: 1. fluticasone-salmeterol 250-50 mcg/dose disk with device sig: one (1)

mucosal biopsy : poorly differentiated carcinoma with signet ring features. imaging: chest (portable ap) study date of 1:24 pm impression: nasogastric tube in standard position. left internal jugular approach central venous catheter, with tip terminating in the junction with the left brachiocephalic vein. small patchy focus in right lung base. represent atelectasis and vessel crowding, however small focus of aspiration and/or pneumonia not excluded. ct studies: ct chest w/ contrast : a small amount of oral secretions are seen dependently in the trachea (3:16). there are small bilateral pleural effusions with overlying consolidation, likely atelectatic. a calcific focus in the right lower lobe represents a calcified granuloma. the heart and great vessels are notable for coronary arterial calcification. there is no mediastinal or axillary lymphadenopathy. a left internal jugular central venous line terminates in the left brachiocephalic vein. incidental note is made of bilateral gynecomastia. ct abdomen with and without contrast : the spleen, pancreas, right adrenal gland, and gallbladder are unremarkable. a punctate calcific focus is present in the left adrenal gland. the kidneys enhance and excrete contrast in a symmetric fashion are notable for numerous bilateral hypodensities, some of which are too small to characterize, others of which are consistent with simple cysts. the liver also contains innumerable hypodensities. as was the case in the kidneys, many of these are simple cysts, others of which are too small to characterize. the left lobe is notably atrophic. a soft tissue mass is seen in the retroperitoneum, just posterior to the third portion of the duodenum difficult to precisely marginate, though measuring approximately 50 x 29 mm (3:76). this lesion extends along the anterior surface of the aorta, though does not constrict or deform the otherwise normally opacifying aorta. note is made of a 10-mm left paraaortic retroperitoneal lymph node (3:66). numerous mesenteric lymph nodes are visualized, none of which are enlarged by ct size criteria. ct pelvis with contrast : the urinary bladder contains a foley catheter. the prostate and seminal vesicles are unremarkable. note is made of a large amount of stool in the rectal vault. the remainder of the colon is unremarkable. there is no free gas in the pelvis. a small amount of free fluid is seen dependently in the pelvis. there is no pelvic sidewall or inguinal lymphadenopathy. impression: 1. retroperitoneal lymphadenopathy concerning for metastatic disease 2. bilateral pleural effusions. 3. trace ascites settling dependently in the pelvis. 4. numerous renal and hepatic cysts as well as other renal and hepatic hypodensities, too small to characterize, likely also cysts. ekg : sinus rhythm with ventriculr premature beats. prolonged qtc interval. modest st-t wave changes. findings are non-specific. clinical correlation is suggested for possible drug/electrolyte/metabolic effect. since the previous tracing of borderline sinus tachycardia is absent, ventricular ectopy is seen, the qtc interval appears prolonged and st-t wave abnormalities are decreased. brief hospital course: 83 yo m with recent admission for upper gastrointestinal bleed, found to be h.pylori positive and changes in gastric mucosa concerning for infiltrative process; now readmitted the day after discharge with hematemesis x 7 and ng lavage that returned bright red . . # adenocarcinoma: egd biopsy showed poorly differentiated carcinoma with signet ring features. ct abdomen with evidence of significant lymphadenopathy. surgery, oncology and radiation oncology were consulted. a trial of palliative radiation therepy was suggested to help decrease risk of recurrent gastrointestinal bleeding. patient received 5 of 5 doses of radiation therapy. . # hematemesis: patient with known gastric mucosa abnormality as seen on egd suspicious for infiltrating process with biopsy now showing adenocarcinoma. he was treated with transfusions (4 units on initial admission, 4 units on readmission to the icu from house) and iv ppi. after biopsy showed adenocarcinoma and ct scan of the abdomen showed retroperitoneal mass with associated lymphadenopathy concerning for metastatic disease, oncology was consulted and recommended palliative radiation for control of symptoms of hematemesis. surgery did not feel that the patient's disease could be cured with an operation. subsequently, a family meeting was held on in which it was decided to follow a palliative course of therapy rather than attempting to eradicate the patient's disease. his son and health-care proxy, , agreed to attempt palliate radiation therapy, and a decision was made to work with case management to find a facility where hospice-level care could be administered to the patient upon discharge. the patient was mapped and received his first course of palliative radiation therapy on . patient received 5 of 5 doses of radiation therapy. . # h pylori: h.pylori positive . patient was placed on triple therapy with pantoprazole, clarithromycin, and amoxicillin on

pathology-diagnosis: left hip femoral and acetabular components, removal: for gross examination only. left hip, granulation tissue, excision (a): coagulative necrosis and macrophage reaction to particles, consistent with wear debris. left acetabulum osteolysis, excision (b-c): - granulation tissue, coagulative necrosis and macrophage reaction to particles (consistent with wear debris). - degenerative bone. . hip -our views of the left hip: left total hip arthroplasty has been removed and there is significant osteolysis of the acetabulum and proximal femur with proximal migration of the femoral shaft. infection cannot be excluded. hemi-osteotomy is noted extending from the subtrochanteric region to the lateral cortex of the proximal femoral diaphysis secured by four cerclage wires. there are overlying surgical staples, soft tissue swelling and subcutaneous emphysema. prostatic seeds are noted. there is an ostomy in the right lower quadrant. it is noted that cultures were obtained at the time of surgery. . cxr -impression: 1. no evidence of pneumothorax after central venous catheter placement. 2. persistent right apical thickening, probably due to scarring, but in the absence of a more remote comparison, this could represent a small right apical lung cancer, which should be evaluated with chest ct. the study and the report were reviewed by the staff radiologist. . ct pelvis -impression: 1. status post removal of left total hip arthroplasty, resulting in girdlestone configuration, with superior position of the left femur and mutiple femoral cerclage wires. 2. nondisplaced linear lucency within the proximal femoral shaft new since the radiograph of -- ? osteotomy. 3. marked acetabular protrusio configuration. the inner surface of the left acetabulum is markedly thinned and, in areas, effaced. focal osteopenia also noted in lesser tuberosity. 4. apparent large fluid collection within and around the "joint", which may represent a post-operative seroma.a few small locules of air noted, which could relate to recent surgery. please note that the presence or absence of infection cannot be determined based on imaging. drains present. . head ct -impression: 1. no acute intracranial hemorrhage or mass effect. scattered hypodense areas in the white matter as described above, which are likely similar to the prior mr head study of . if there is continued clinical concern for abnormality, mr head can be considered if not contraindicated. 2. vascular calcifications in the cavernous carotid segments and in the left distal vertebral artery, patency not assessed on the present study. . cxr-reason for exam: status post left hip resection with increasing confusion. comparison is made to prior study and . compared to , there is new mild cardiomegaly. dilatation of the ascending aorta is more notorious than before and warrants further evaluation with either echo or ct. asymmetrical apical thickening is stable greater on the right. there is mild right apical scarring. there is no pneumothorax. there is a small left pleural effusion. . ruq u/s -findings: limited four-quadrant ultrasound of the abdomen was performed. no free fluid was identified. . ekg -sinus rhythm. early precordial qrs transition. borderline prolonged/upper limits of qtc interval. baseline artifact in the inferior leads makes assessment of those leads difficult. findings are non-specific. since the previous tracing of the qtc interval appears longer. . cxr-reason for exam: delirium, status post left hip hardware removal and fever. cardiomediastinal contours are unchanged with stable dilatation of the ascending aorta more conspicuous than in and . right greater than left apical pleural thickening is again noted with scarring in the right apex. as mentioned in prior studies, ct is recommended to assess the dilatation of the ascending aorta and the right upper lobe pleuroparenchymal abnormality. there is no pneumothorax or pleural effusion. there are no new lung abnormalities. . cta chest - 1. ascending thoracic aortic aneurysm,4.4 cm with dimensions as reported above. 2. coronary and aortic valvular calcifications. 3. severe emphysema. 4. consolidative and ground-glass opacity in the superior segments of the left lower lobe. this is likely infectious or inflammatory in etiology, though malignancy cannot be excluded, and a followup chest ct in three months is recommended. smaller nodules as detailed above can also be followed at that time. . hip xr- there has been removal of the hardware in the left hip since the radiographs of

proximal femur shaft that is stable. there has been removal of the surgical skin staples. the proximal femur is displaced superiorly in relation to the acetabulum. radiation seeds are seen projecting over the prostate. there are mild-to-moderate degenerative changes of the right hip. . blood culture blood culture, routine-pending inpatient blood culture blood culture, routine-pending inpatient

recent drinking per report, etoh withdrawal/dt's could have been a consideration, but pt was without other signs of withdrawal including htn, tachycardia, diaphoresis. pt, pcp, pt's family denied that that been had been drinking for last 2 years. pt also developed delerium 8 days into stay and initially improved with lactulose, making etoh withdrawal less likely. another consideration would be adrenal insufficiency but no recent steroids, cortisol normal. abd u/s without ascites. pt was placed on the protocol, all narcotics and flexerill were dc'd as well as benzos and benedryl. pt's lactulose was uptitrated to 60mg qid. pt was given iv fluids in order to match ostomy outpt from lactulose. discussed case with patient's pcp who reported that pt has had prior hepatic encephalopathy during gi bleed. pcp suggested initiation of rifaximin and stopping nadolol to improve blood flow to liver. all in all, likely toxic encephalopathy due to medications, hepatic causes and transient arf. pt instructed rifaximin until pcp follow up. lactulose was discontinued prior to discharge as pt had remained with a clear mental status for days and had massive ostomy outpt causing metabolic acidosis. pt remained clear off lactulose. however, should confusion reoccur, would start lactulose 30ml tid. due to severe pain, pt was restarted on oxycodone prior to discharge. he did not have any confusion. . #acute renal failure-baseline cr 0.8-1.1. peaked at 2.2 and did have a metabolic acidosis, initially gap, then became non-gap. arf improved with ivf. however, arf transiently reoccurred with increased lactulose dosing and massive ostomy outpt. cr on discharge 0.9. acei was restarted. see above, lactulose and ivf stopped . #s/p l.hip hardware resection (h.o avn due to prednisone-s/p tha-now hardware resection)-no plans for or until mid-. pt will need rehab prior to or procedure and returning home. pt will f/u with ortho after discharge to determine final course/or plan. pain was controlled with standing tylenol (2grams maximum). in addition, pt was started on lidocaine patch. as he still had severe pain, and did have a clear mental status, low dose oxycodone was restarted. pt followed the patient and recommended rehab. . #hypernatremia-thought to be due to increased ostomy outpt and poor po intake while encephalopathic. pt received d51/2 ns with improvement. . #ascending thoracic aortic aneurysm - ascending aorta measuring up to 4.3 cm. root approx 3.8 cm. arch 2.8 cm. descending 2.6 cm. final measurements pending. no evidence of dissection or other acute aortic syndrome. this was discussed with cardiothoracic surgery who recommend appt with dr. and yearly ct scan for monitoring. . #incidental radiographic findings-" consolidative and ground-glass opacity in the superior segments of the left lower lobe. this is likely infectious or inflammatory in etiology, though malignancy cannot be excluded, and a followup chest ct in three months is recommended. smaller nodules as detailed above can also be followed at that time". . #h.o etoh cirrhosis-h.o varices and 1 prior episode of encephalopathy. abdominal ultrasound without ascites. see above. pt was given lactulose, started on rifaximin and nadolol held. lactulose was discontinued prior to discharge as above. rifaximin was continued and nadolol was restarted at 20mg daily given h.o varices. this may be uptitrated to 40mg daily if bp allows. in addition, would restart lactulose for an signs of encephalopathy/confusion . #metabolic acidosis-non-gap-from large ostomy output and ivf ns repletion. improved. chemistry panel should be followed after discharge. . #h.o crohns-ileostomy care. monitored ileostomy outpt. continued azathioprine. . #copd-nebs given prn. . #gerd-continued ppi . #pancytopenia-thought to be related to cirrhosis, portal sequestration, acute illness, and/or medication effect from amongst other things, azithioprine. counts improved. counts were monitored and actually improved during admission. however, wbc decreased to 2.3 and plt to 87 on day of discharge. labs gradually trended down to this over weekend. considered possibility of hit. however, pt with plt count of 30 earlier in course and had been on hep sc bid. plt count improved up to 160 while on heparin. however, counts gradually decreased to 87 on day of discharge. lovenox was started on instead of hep sc. in addition, as plt count trended down as did wbc. hit score was 3 for (>50% drop, but was >day 10 of admit). pt without any signs of thrombosis. pt will need to have wbc and platelet count closely monitoring in the outpatient setting while on lovenox and azathioprine. if continues to decrease will need eval for hit and/or medication effect from azithioprine. . #etoh abuse-pt did not display signs of withdrawal (but did have encephalopathy as above). family/pcp report no drinking in ~2years. pt denied recent etoh. unlikely to be withdrawal as delerium developed 8 days into stay. he was placed on thiamine and folate. . #htn, benign-continued acei, while monitoring renal function.

of ciprofloxacin started on . earlier in the week she started otc prilosec for gerd sx as well as frequent belching. . monday night while sitting in a chair she began having pressure-like tightness radiating to l arm; she has never had this pressure before and it was non-exertional. she thought it was related to her gerd sx and tried to go to sleep. the pressure never went away and the following day around noon the cp became worse and it was associated with nausea / vomiting and diaphoresis. her daughter-in-law called her cardiologist about the chest pressure and she was referred to . . at ,

stenosis with ptca. bivalirudin was started prophylactically. a 5 french jr4 guiding catheter provided adequate support for the procedure. a prowater wire was used, however the wire was unable to cross the lesion despite multiple attempts at crossing. just proximal to the complete occlusion there was a point in the r-pl with a hazy appearance that suggested plaque rupture (likely cause of downstream embolization). we dilated this area with a a 1.5x15mm sprinter otw balloon at 8 atms. repeat angiography at this point showed minimal improvement in blood flow after the complete occlusion of the r-pl. due to the small size of the r-pl and the difficulty in corssing the lesion there was no further attempt made at intervention as the risks outweighed the benefits of opening up this small vessel which appeared to give blood supply to a small area of myocardium. final angiography showed the complete occlusion was still present, but no angiographically apparent dissection was noted. the

admitted to the hospital because you had a heart attack. this means that one of the arteries that supplies your heart with blood became occluded. we treated you with medication to thin your blood and performed a procedure call a cardiac catheterization. during the procedure we dilated a small artery in your heart with a balloon to allow the blood to flow to your heart effeciently. we believe that the occlusion in your blood vessel has resolved. we have made some changes to your medication regimen to optimally protect your heart. . we made the following changes to your medications: - increased aspirin from 81mg to 325mg daily - started clopidogrel (plavix) 75mg daily. **do not stop taking this medication unless instructed to by your cardiologist** - stopped simvastatin and started atorvastatin 80mg daily - stopped amlodipine and started lisinopril 5mg daily - stopped ciprofloxacin since you finished the course of antibiotics for your urinary tract infection followup

angiography shows no evidence of aneurysm or abnormal vascular structure. vascular displacement is seen in the distribution of right middle cerebral artery. the intracranial arteries in the anterior and posterior circulation demonstrates nonspecific decreased caliber, which could be secondary to increased intracranial pressure, such an appearance could also be seen in patients with reversible vasospasm. an endotracheal tube and nasogastric tubes are visualized. cxr : no acute cardiopulmonary process. oro-gastric tube side-port at the level around the ge junction and should be advanced so that it is well within the stomach. cerebral angiogram : eu critical underwent cerebral angiography which was normal and did not explain the right hemispheric hemorrhage. he was noted to have attenuated right middle cerebral artery secondary to the hematoma and possible compression from it. head ct 6:46pm: stable appearance of large right intraparenchymal hemorrhage with intraventricular and subarachnoid extension. head ct 1:05pm: stable appearance of large right basal ganglionic and temporal parenchymal hemorrhage, with similar intraventricular and subarachnoid extension. mri head: impression: 1. stable large right parenchymal hematoma with intraventricular extension. a small focus of contrast enhancement along the lateral margin of the hematoma may be reactive, but follow-up is recommended after resolution of blood products. no additional sites of intracranial blood products are identified to suggest multiple cavernous malformations or prior hypertensive hemorrhages. 2. signal abnormalities in the superior left frontal and parietal sulci suggest subacute subarachnoid hemorrhage. 3. no evidence of acute wernicke encephalopathy or chronic sequelae of alcohol abuse. echocardiogram: the left atrium is normal in size. no thrombus/mass is seen in the body of the left atrium. no atrial septal defect or patent foramen ovale is seen by 2d, color doppler or saline contrast with maneuvers. left ventricular wall thickness, cavity size and regional/global systolic function are normal (lvef >55%). no masses or thrombi are seen in the left ventricle. there is no ventricular septal defect. right ventricular chamber size and free wall motion are normal. the diameters of aorta at the sinus, ascending and arch levels are normal. the aortic valve leaflets (3) appear structurally normal with good leaflet excursion and no aortic stenosis or aortic regurgitation. no masses or vegetations are seen on the aortic valve. the mitral valve appears structurally normal with trivial mitral regurgitation. there is no mitral valve prolapse. no mass or vegetation is seen on the mitral valve. the estimated pulmonary artery systolic pressure is normal. no vegetation/mass is seen on the pulmonic valve. there is no pericardial effusion. impression: no valve vegetations seen in a very good quality study. no intracardiac shunt or of embolism found.

dccv. patient came in to the today for scheduled routine dccv for atrial fibrillation/flutter. after the procedure the patient had asystolic cardiac arrest for which he received atropine 1 mg, epinephrine 1 mg, peripheral dopamine and cpr (for ~2 minutes) then spontaneously woke up. after awaking he was kept on dopamine, and both epinephrine and phenylephrine drips started due to sbp in the 80-90's. he was breathing spontaneously and ao x3. subsequently his hemodynamics improved with hr nsr at 85 bpm, bp 121/31, o2 sat 100% on 6 l fm. he was then transfered to the cvicu. . in the cvicu

yo m with history of af/flutter s/p multiple ablations and cardioversions who presented today for routine dccv and had a brief asystolic cardiac arrest after. . # asystolic cardiac arrest: pt initially presenting for routine dccv for afib/a flutter, and was found to have a brief episode of asystolic cardiac arrest post dccv requiring epinephrine, atropine and cpr for ~2 minutes. he spontaneously awoke without deficits but was hypotensive requiring pressors. likely cause of arrest was increased vagal tone and cardiac stunning also causing his persistent hypotension. dopamine and phenylepherine drips were able to be quickly weaned and he remained normotensive upon admission to the ccu and remained so overnight into the day of discharge. . # rhythm: pt came to the ccu in nsr after dccv. his rate remained 50s-60s overnight without major events on tele. his flecanide was continued in house. however, upon discharge the decision was made to discontinue his flecanide along with his home atenolol and quinapril given his borderline bradycardia and nsr. he has follow up with pcp and cardiology at which point restarting antiarrhytnmics can be discussed. he was discharged on his home coumadin regimen and should have inr checked per his normal regimen. he remained therapeutic on his coumadin in-house. . # hct drop: pt was noticed to have a hct drop from 43.7 on admission to 33.3. this was likely to be dilutional given his significant fluid resuscitation and comparable decrease in both his wbc and platelet counts. he was guaiac negative and denied any brbrp or dark stools. repeat hct on the day of discharge was stable at 33.9 so we did not feel there was any active bleed. his hct should be followed up as an outpatient to ensure normalization. . # depression:

unremarkable. there is no pelvic or inguinal lymphadenopathy. bone windows demonstrate no evidence of suspicious lytic or blastic lesion. there is diffuse mild stranding of the subcutaneous soft tissues that is consistent with anasarca. impression: 1. no evidence of hydronephrosis. 2. prominent lymphadenopathy that is unchanged since . 3. diffuse anasarca. 4. patchy right upper lobe nodular opaities may represent developing pneumonia or inflammatory process. brief hospital course: 1. acute renal failure: prerenal transformed to atn in the setting of high fevers, sweats and poor po intake prior to admission. he was anuric at admission, however, improved with iv fluid and time. he did have hyponatremia, hyperkalemia (mild, without ecg changes) and hyperphosphatemia which were treated until his creatinine normalized. his urine output and kidney function normalized prior to discharge. 2. cholestatic hepatitis: the patient had abnormal lfts with marked elevation in bilirubin. he underwent transjugular liver biopsy on . pathology demonstrated portal involvement of his hodgkin lymphoma with superimposed hepatitis, likely drug/chemotherapy related. he was treated with ursodiol 600 mg twice daily and his lfts improved. max bilirubin was 22, value at discharge was 3.3. he will continue ursodiol until his lfts normalize. there was no evidence of encephalopathy on this admission. 3. neutropenic sepsis: from e.coli and viridans streptococci bacteremia in the setting of mucositis/colitis and neutropenia from chemotherapy. ct abdomen without perforation or abscess. he was treated with cefepime/vancomycin and this was transitioned to augmentin as an outpatient to complete a 14 day course from negative blood cultures. 4. diarrhea: in the setting of neutropenia. he had a positive adenovirus in the stool. also probably related to mucositis vs. antibiotic associated vs. other. improved at discharge. 5. hodgkin lymphoma/pancytopenia: s/p cycle 1 of abvd. complicated by the above and pancytopenia requiring blood and platelet transfusion and granulocyte support with g-csf. he received g-csf until anc>1000 for two days. further therapy per outpatient providers. 6. volume overload: the patient had acute pulmonary edema in the setting of multiple blood product transfusions in preparation for liver biopsy. he was diuresed with 10 mg iv lasix with several liters response in uop. all attempts were made to minimize oxygen given his recent bleomycin exposure. 7. coagulopathy: in the setting of acute liver injury, poor po intake and antibiotic use. given several doses of vitamin k. inr 1.5 at discharge. 8. oral/tongue lesion: evaluated by infectious disease and dermatology. dfa and culture positive for hsv1. he was started on acyclovir 400 mg po 5 times per day to take for two weeks, then to be followed with 400 mg twice daily indefinitely. 9. hyponatremia: siadh, improvement on fluid restriction, he will continue this as an outpatient. 10.

edema has resolved. pacer leads are in standard position. right ij catheter tip is in the upper right atrium. there is no evident pneumothorax. bilateral pleural effusions are small. bibasilar atelectases have improved on the left. tte (focused views): impression: limited transthoracic echocardiography. unable to assess regional wall motion abnormalities due to limited study, but overall systolic function of the left ventricle is probably normal. severe tricuspid regurgitation with failure of tricuspid leaflet coaptation. mild mitral regurgitation. unable to fully assess aortic valve. compared with the findings of the prior report (images unavailable for review) of , the tricuspid regurgitation is now severe. if clinically indicated, a complete transthoracic examination with doppler is recommended. portable tte: compared with the prior study (images reviewed) of , estimated pulmonary artery systolic pressure is now higher. liver or gallbladder us (single organ) : 1. cholelithiasis without evidence of cholecystitis. 2. patent portal vein. prominent hepatic veins likely due to vascular congestion. 3. possible right renal fullness seen on partial views of right kidney. if indicated, this could be evaluated with renal ultrasound. renal u/s : somewhat limited study however both kidneys are within normal limits with good cortical thickness, no hydronephrosis or mass lesions identified. the bladder is fully decompressed around the foley catheter. cxr: central venous catheter and permanent pacemaker remain unchanged in position allowing for positional differences of the patient. cardiac silhouette is enlarged, accompanied by pulmonary vascular engorgement. previously reported multifocal pulmonary opacities have partially cleared with residual opacities mostly in the perihilar regions. this likely reflects improving pulmonary edema. more confluent opacity in left retrocardiac region has only slightly improved and is likely due to a combination of atelectasis and effusion. small right pleural effusion has decreased in size. ekg: atrial fibrillation with controlled ventricular response. intermittent pacer spikes which do not capture non-specific anterior and inferior st-t wave changes. modest q-t interval prolongation. compared to tracing #1 ventricular paced beats are absent. anterior st-t wave changes are more pronounced. clinical correlation is suggested. brief hospital course: hospital course: pleasant 87 yo female presenting with dizziness, hypotension concerning for sepsis initially requiring pressors in the icu, who was then called out to the cardiology service with volume overload, afib and severe tr w/ rv dilation. underwent dccv but continued to be in afib and had to be transferred to the ccu for respiratory distress where she was diuresed and then transferred back to the cardiology floor. she was discharged to (ltac). active issues: # septic shock: the pt was hypotensive on admission requiring pressors with signs of end organ damage including acute renal failure and shock liver. lactate was 5.3 on admission and rose rapidly throughout her first day in the icu peaking at 9. the pt had a recent hx of uti and there was a concern for urosepsis, so she was started on broad antibiotics with vancomycin and zosyn and receieved a 7 day course. on exam, however, she was cold and clamped down peripherally, more concerning for a cardiogenic process. additionally, ecg was showing only intermittent capture of pacemaker. cardiology/ep was consulted, and her pacemaker was interrogated and adjusted to improve cardiac output in setting of shock and acidosis (see atrial fibrillation below). echo was then obtained, which showed severe tricuspid regurgitation with complete lack of coaptation of tricuspid leaflets. it was thought that this was likely the cause of her shock, in addition to the infectious component that had instigated her acute presentation (although no infectious source was isolated during her hospital course). therefore she was gently diruresed with iv lasix back to her dry weight. she continued to have intermittent respiratory difficulty likely copd and fluid overload, which was alleviated with nebs and iv lasix. # atrial fibrillation: on coumadin, supratherapeutic inr on admission (see below). ekg initially showed intermittent pacing with evidence of pacer spikes on t-waves. cardiology/ep consult was obtained, and on pacemaker interrogation was noted to have elevated thresholds above programmed output of leads leading to intermittent capture. ppm was reprogrammed with higher output and higher hr to 80s with appropriate capture. hr was increased to improve cardiac output to more closely match physiologic demand in setting of shock. she was started on dofetilide, but this was discontinued due to qt prolongation. she was then started on amiodarone and metoprolol. in the icu, verapamil was increased to 60mg tid and metoprolol was maintained at 50mg . in this setting, home lisinopril was held to give blood pressure room. however, the pt has a hx of not tolerating amio which was dc/ed and the pt underwent dccv after transfer to the floor. however, pt reverted back to afib and had to go to the ccu for resp distress. qt prolongation prevented dofelitide from being continued, and metoprolol was dc/ed as it was thought to be worsening bronchospasm. at the time of discharge she was put on a higher dose of verapamil (280 ). dccv was performed again and she continued to be in afib. flecainide was dc/ed due to likely underlying cad and was switched to digoxin 0.125 every other day. however, dig was also dc/ed and the pt was dc/ed on verapamil alone with hr in 70s and 80s. the pacemaker was changed from ddir to vvi w/ a lower hr threshold of 50 bpm. # acute renal failure: creatinine elevated to 1.9 on presentation, up from previous baseline of 0.7-0.8 one year prior. etiology thought to be atn vs hypotension/shock. her initial course was complicated by hyperkalemia with associated widening of qrs and , she was given kayexalate, insulin + d50, and calcium gluconate. creatinine peaked at 2.9 with minimal urine output, however renal function improved with continued fluid resuscitation and support with pressors. towards the end of her stay she had another cr spike (1.8 from 1.1) which improved with gentle fluid resusciation. her cr at dc was 1.5. # dyspnea: patient became acutely dyspneic after cardioversion from afib. she was transferred to the ccu for closer monitoring. in the ccu, she was placed on a nitro gtt and diuresed with lasix boluses. her sob was however multifactorial but primarily d/t fluid overload vs copd vs severe thoracic kyphosis as she responded to both lasix and nebs. she was also started on fluticasone-salmeterol diskus (500/50). torsemide was started for po diuresis as she failed po lasix diuresis. lisinopril was restarted at 5mg. her 02 requirement went up to 3l but she was comfortable on ra on dc. at discharge she was stable on ra but patient prone to having acute episodes of dyspnea that were alleviated with duonebs and iv lasix 40mg (if the pt appeared overloaded on exam). # fluctuating inr: pt presented on coumadin for afib (inr goal ); inr 3.5 on presentation in the ed but rapidly rose to 6.2 upon arrival in the icu. peaked at 9.7. no signs of bleeding, so she was not given any reveral agents. etiology of acute rise presumed to be liver dysfunction in the setting of hypotension/shock. however, pt has a hx of labile inr. recieved vitamin k in the ccu and had hematuria which persisted a few days after resolution of supratherpeutic inr. she was bridged back to therapeutic range with lovenox. inr managment remained challenging throughout her stay. at the time of dc her inr was 3.5 so her coumadin of 0.5 mg was held. # hematuria: pt continued to have gross hematuria. unrelated to inr levels. was worked up in the past w/ cystoscopy showing bilateral diverticuli. she has been set up for follow up appt with urologist for cystoscopy. renal u/s done here was normal. # transaminitis: ast/alt in the 400s on presentation, likely due to acute injury from hypoperfusion (shock liver) vs. congestive hepatopathy. alkaline phosphatase and bili remained within normal limits, supports this hypothesis. transaminases rose to the thousands prior to coming down after resolution of sepsis. # anemia: normocytic, near recent baseline of 34.3 on presentation. despite high inr, no signs of acute bleedn other than known prior hematuria that continued intermittently througout her stay. likely chronic hematuria vs low marrow production. her retic count was normal, and spep was also normal. inactive issues: # dementia: stable; contined home meds mirtazepine and aricept # gerd: continue home ranitidine transitional issues: patient has a variety of specialist appts that need to be followed up with. in case that she develops dyspnea and does not respond to duonebs, iv lasix 40mg should be given. verapamil dose can be increased to 240 if rate control or blood pressure managment becomes problem. pt's inr on the day of dc was 3.5 so her warfarin dose of 0.5 mg was held. please restart warfarin at 1 mg after the inr is in therapuetic range. medications on admission:

territory, involving a large portion of the right occipital lobe with a smaller region of decreased rcbv in the same distribution is consistent with a small "core" of infarcted tissue surrounded by a penumbra of ischemic tissue. 2. there is an associated abrupt "cut-off" of the p2-p3 segment of the right pca, with "meniscus" appearance, suggestive of acute embolic occlusion. 3. no evidence of intracranial hemorrhage. 4. minimal calcified plaque at the origin of the right vertebral artery, without hemodynamically-significant stenosis. mri 1. small acute infarctions within the right pca territory, specifically within the right body/tail of the hippocampus, right temporal lobe, and right thalamus. 2. no evidence of intracranial hemorrhage. echo no cardiac source of embolism seen. normal global and regional biventricular systolic function. negative bubble study. brief hospital course: neuro: 1. r pca stroke the patient presented with a left superior quadrantanopsia. a code stroke was called and the ct/cta/ct perfusion showed a r p2 cut-off, with large penumbra in that vascular territory. given the visualized blockage, the large size of at risk brain tissue, and the potential for debilitating visual loss, the decision was made to give tpa. the patient received tpa in the ed, and was admitted to the neuro icu for monitoring. after the tpa infusion was complete, his visual deficit remained, but the following morning it had resolved. mri was done 24 hours after tpa, there was no bleed, and 3 small areas of infarction in the r medial temporal lobe and thalamus, consistent with pca stroke. the etiology was most likely atrial fibrillation. cta showed no other vascular abnormalities in the posterior circulation. transthoracic echo showed mild left atrial enlargement, but normal global systolic function, and bubble study was negative for asd/pfo. the patient was started on dabigatran (pradaxa) for stroke with atrial fibrillation. fasting lipid panel showed cholesterol 145, tg 58, hdl 44, ldl 89. he was started on 10 mg simvastatin for secondary stroke prevention. he was seen by pt/ot, and given a prescription for outpatient pt for his parkinsons. there are no restrictions on his daily activities, including driving. 2. ?radiculopathy the patient had a diminished l knee jerk compared to the right side. he then mentioned a concern about r calf atrophy over the past 1 year. his right calf and foot muscles did in fact look atrophied compared to the left side. strength and sensation was intact. he has a history of chronic low back pain, though denies any radiating pains down the legs. he likely has bilateral radiculopathy. he may warrant mri of the l-spine as an outpatient, however there is likely no treatment indicated given he is asymptomatic. atrial fibrillation: patient was in continuous af during his hospital course. he had 1 episode of rapid ventricular response at rest that resolved with 1 dose of iv metoprolol. of note, his verapamil had been held to allow his blood pressure to autoregulate post-stroke. the day of discharge, he ambulated and climbed stairs with pt. he did have tachycardia to 140-160s during this exercise, but remained asymptomatic. we will therefore restart his verapamil at discharge and have him follow up with his cardiologist in the next 2 weeks. medications on admission: sinement -0.5

allergies: haldol attending: chief complaint: tracheal stenosis major surgical or invasive procedure: : flexible bronchoscopy with bronchoalveolar lavage and cervical tracheal resection and reconstruction. : bronchoscopy history of present illness: the patient is a 47-year-old gentleman who has had a tracheostomy for some time and has been unable to be decannulated due to a peristomal stenosis. the total length of the abnormality in the trachea was 5 cm, but i thought the central portion of this, which was right at the stoma, was actually only about 2.5 to 3 cm. therefore, despite his ongoing immunosuppression for a kidney transplant, i recommended resection of the stenosis and reconstruction. after an abundant discussion preoperatively, the patient did understand that he is at increased risk for anastomotic complication, including dehiscence, necrosis, and incomplete alleviation of stenosis. most specifically, the immunosuppression prevents healing and he understood that this would potentially complicate his healing of the anastomosis. nevertheless, he did not want to continue with his tracheostomy tube in place and elected to go forward with surgery, despite understanding that the option would be to leave the tracheostomy tube as it was. past medical history: 1. hcv, genotype 1- completed 48 wks ifn () 2. esrd htn and traumatic nephrectomy due to stab wound, on hd (mwf) s/p nephrectomy. s/p cadeveric kidney transplant w/ multiple postop complications (vap, delayed graft function, ms changes) 3. hypertension 4. line sepsis due to left subclavian line with gram (+) cocci 5. central obstruction of venous flow from r and lue 6. multiple vascular admissions including thrombosed and stenosed b/l central veins. lead to hd catheters placed in femoral veins, but complicated by multiple line infx and sepsis. 7. mssa bacteremia of r fem line (removed thereafter). 8. hx leaving ama 9. svc occlusion of all central veins 10. depression 11. obsessive-compulsive disorder social history: + tobacco 1ppd x decades quit , no etoh, or ivdu. orginally from , here in us x 20 years. lives alone in . son involved. children in . unemployed. wife committed suicide. family history: nc physical exam: discharge physical exam: vs: t: 97.3 p: 100 bp: 123/74 rr: 19 o2sat: 98ra gen: wd, wn in nad heent: ncat, eomi, anicteric cv: rrr, +s1s2 w no m/r/g pulm: cta b/l w no w/r/r, normal excursion, no respiratory distress back: no vertebral tenderness, no cvat abd: soft, nt, nd, no mass, no hernia pelvis: deferred ext: wwp, no cce, no tenderness, 2+ b radial/dp/pt neuro: a&ox3, no focal neurologic deficits pertinent results: 06:22am blood wbc-7.5 rbc-3.53* hgb-10.6* hct-33.7* mcv-95 mch-29.9 mchc-31.4 rdw-14.6 plt ct-207 06:22am blood pt-16.8* ptt-32.5 inr(pt)-1.5* 05:00am blood pt-15.4* ptt-59.4* inr(pt)-1.3* 04:59am blood pt-14.1* ptt-48.9* inr(pt)-1.2* 03:15am blood pt-13.6* ptt-68.1* inr(pt)-1.2* 06:22am blood glucose-96 urean-14 creat-1.4* na-137 k-4.6 cl-104 hco3-23 angap-15 06:22am blood calcium-9.2 phos-1.9* mg-1.8 06:22am blood tacrofk-8.0 05:00am blood tacrofk-9.3 12:51pm blood type-art temp-37.3 fio2-50 po2-89 pco2-33* ph-7.40 caltco2-21 base xs--2 intubat-not intuba swallow f/u recommendations: 1. po diet: thin liquids, regular consistency solids. 2. meds whole with water. 3. oral care. 4. please call, page, or re-consult if there are any concerns on this diet. dc cxr on findings: as compared to the previous radiograph, there is no relevant change. left pleural effusions, slightly improved ventilation of the right lower lung. massive cardiomegaly with signs of moderate pulmonary edema. no evidence of newly appeared focal parenchymal opacities suggesting pneumonia. brief hospital course: date of icu admit: procedure/date: tracheal resection and reconstruction abx/date: vanc/cefepime (- );

procedure, patient required re-positioning of his tunneled hd line as this is also his only vascular access. please refer to operative note for more details. he was taken directly to the intensvie care unit after his surgery. the remainder of his hospital course can be summarized by the following review of systems. neuro: patient's sedation and pain was appropriately controlled with fentanyl and versed while he remained intubated. the patient had multple episodes of agitation requiring increased boluses of fentanyl and versed. on pod 16, patient's fluoextine was restarted for concerns for ssri withdrawal. in addition, po zyprexa and ativan were also started. on , the patient was started on po methadone to improve pain control and anxiety. on , librium was started for a longer acting anxiolysis. fentanyl and versed were weaned off. by , methadone and ativan were being weaned. patient continued to have episodes of agitation. on , the patient had suicidal ideations and pyschiatry was reconsulted. the patient was started on cogentin for concern for akathisia and the zypexa was d/c'ed for suspected eps. the patient was started on prn seroquel for agitation. a 1:1 sitter was recommended. he received intermittent propofol at night to prevent deline/detubing. the patient's suicidal ideation improved with the start of eating and being in contact with his family in (via telephone). the patient's neuro status improved with an improvement in his suicidal ideations. the 1:1 sitter was d/c'ed. ativan and clonidine were weaned per psychiatry recommendations. patient is awake, alert, oriented and cooperative on discharge. pulm: the patient was transferred to the sicu intubated. esophageal balloon used to determine optimal peep. the patient was on an ards protocol. patient bronched on , cultures sent. cefepime and fluconazole started. patient was growing psuedomonas from sputum. tobramycin inh and cefepime started for vap. by pod15, peep decreased to 5 and started a cpap trial on pod16. since the patient has a history of tracheal stenosis (trach placed in ), thoracic surgery was consulted for trach placement. on pod 16, the patient was on cpap 5/5. on , the patient was brought to the or by thoracic surgery for trach placement, which was subequently exchanged for a longer size. the patient was weaned to ps with trach mask trials. on , speech and swallow was consulted. he did not tolerate a passy-muir valve. on , he tolerated trach collar all day with cpap overnight. the patient had episodes of tolerating trach collar and then required cpap support. on , ip assessed the patient for possible desizing trach to allow for a pmv. however, since he wasn't tolerating trach collar, it was decided to not manipuate the trach. on the evening of , the patient had a acute desaturation episode and became agitated. he had severe hypercarbia on abg and was restarted on cmv with gradual improvement. the patient was bronched during this event, which showed a normal exam: all airways patent, no mucus or erythema. since this, he is tolerating intermittent trach mask but still requiring vent support when tires. he has been oob to chair and has ambulated on his own from bed to chair. cardio: patient had massive fluid resuscitation immediately post-op and required levophed for hypotension. cardiac enzymes were negative x 3. tee on and showed hyperdynamic with evidence of low intravascular volume. patient was intermittently bolused with crystallioid,albumin, and prbcs for volume replacement. pressors were weaned, but needed to be restarted/increased for hypotension if too much fluid was removed via cvvhd or if the patient needed more sedation. patient continued volume resuscitation with albumin. the patient's bp stabilized and he was able to tolerate fluid removal via hd. he has been hemodynamically stable even while off hd for past few days. gi: dobhoff was placed by ir and novasource renal was started on and advanced. on , tf were held for increased abominal distention (noticeable at his known hernia site). on , relistor was given, which improved bowel function, and tf were restarted. on , the patient passed his swallowing evaulation. the patient was started on pureed solids and thin liquids with ensure supplements and has been tolerating them while on trach mask. renal: patient with delayted graft function. patient started on cvvhd post-op. renal u/s on showed patent vessels and good flow. patient received 2 doses of atg and tacorlimus was started pod3. on tpa was added to hd line clotting. hd line was replaced by ir on tacrolimus, cellcept, and solumedrol restarted on . right groin hd catheter was replaced on . renal biopsy on showed no acute rejection. by pod 14, the patient tolerated aggressive diuresis on cvhd, with daily diuresis up to 2- 3l daily. by, , the patient had a profound diuresis, and cvvhd was run even. however, since his bp was labile, intermittent hd was not recommended. on , the patient had a renal biopsy, which was negative for rejection. on pod 31 (), the patient tolerated hd. patient tolerated 1-2l negative on hd. on , 160mg lasix given, with no change in urine output. the patient has qdaily straight caths, with urine outputs upwards of 100-150cc/daily. on , the patient's ureteral stent was d/c'ed by urology. on , the patient was given 100mg iv lasix with an increase in urine output. overall, his urine output continued to improve up to 400-500cc/day. with the improvement in his urine output and return to pre-op weight, hd was held. given improving renal function (i.e. decreasing cr), he was not requiring hd from and was given intermittent lasix with good response. on , his urine output was ~100-200cc/hr without lasix. his last fk level on discharge was 10.2 (from 11.5) and he was sent on fk 12mg . he is to have his fk level checked at rehab and his medication dosed accordingly. heme: patient has been on heparin gtt post-op with a ptt goal 50-60 to protect the graft. on , the patient was started on coumadin. once the patient had a therapeutic inr, the hep gtt was stopped. the patient received intermittent prbcs transfusions with hd. he was transfused for low hct as needed with lasix after he was off hd. his hct at discharge was stable 29.5. his inr on discharge was 2.5 (from 1.8 on coumdain 7.5mg) and his coumadin dose was dropped to 1mg. he is to have his inr checked tomorrow am at rehab. id: vap sepsis, vancomycin/cipro/flagyl started on , improved and kept on cefepime and inhaled tobramycin. id was consulted on for pseudomonas aeruginoas pneuomia, plan to continue vanco, cefepime, d/c ciprofloxacin, cont micfungin, d/c fluconazole, start inh tobramycinpatient is on valgancyclovir and bactrim for post-transplant prophylaxis. on , blood cultures from r. femoral catheter grew gpc, coag negative staph. vancomycin was restarted, in addition to vanco lock in the hd line for a 14 day course. surveillance blood cultures were drawn, which were consistently negative. sputum culture on , positive for pseudomonas, treatment held since patient had normal wbc, afebrile, tolerating trach mask. hd line vanc lock continued. on , the patient was started on cipro for urine culture positive for enterobacter (). on , the cipro was stopped. his valcyte was increased to 450mg three times per week on date of discharge. endo:

oxygen saturations of 96-99% on room air from requiring 3-4lnc. a persistent leak remained. on he was taken to the or by interventional pulmonology and had bronchoscopy in an attempt to find the source of the leak with hopeful one way valve placement, but no source could be found. on he began having clamp trials of his chest tube. his respiratory status remained stable with oxygen saturations of 92-96% on room air at rest and 89-91% with ambulation. on his chest tube leak was noted to be reduced, although he had significant leak around chest tube insertion site. the basilar chest tube was removed and skin closed with 2.0 silk. the pigtail was removed . chest films: serial chest films showed stable large right pneumothorax. # cv- initially was transferred to unit after episode of supraventricular tachycardia that was thought to be avnrt, which patient had at outside hospital. he had a heart into the 200's, and was hypotensive (sbp 60-80s), was given adenosine x1 and then started on a diltiazem drip that was titrated up to 20mcg/hr. on this drip he became hypotensive and so per cardiology was taken off the diltiazem drip and started on digoxin iv 0.50mg q6 x2 then transition ed to digoxin 0.25mg po daily and had no further events. patient was kept on telemetry throughout. he did not have any additional episodes of significant ectopy through hospital stay.

status epilepticus: patient initially presented to the neuro icu intubated in status epilepticus, likely in setting of subtherapeutic dilantin level. mr. daughter reports that he typically has seizures every 4-6 months and that these occur in the context of low or high levels of dilantin. his level at the osh was subtherapeutic. unlikely meningitis given lack of nuchal rigidity. unlikely alcohol withdrawal as patient reported he had not had etoh use recently and his toxicology screen was negative for etoh. his head ct from the osh shows stable l frontal encephalomalacia. the patient while in the micu became acutely agitated, attempted to leave the unit without any clothes, and a code purple was called. he received on dose of iv haldol 2mg and improved. his mental status exam eventually improved, and his seizure medications were changed to keppra 1500 mg po bid, dilantin 300 mg po qhs (with therapeutic dilantin levels), and klonopin 1.5 mg po qhs on discharge. given prn ativan for seizures > 3min. no further seizure activity on discharge. # hypoxia: patient became acute hypoxic on the floor after being called out from the icu, presumably in the setting of continous ivfs and decreased lv ejection fraction of 30%. aspiration pneumonia may also have contributed to hypoxia. he was transferred to the micu after remaining on the floor for 6 hours due to concern for hypoxic respiratory distress and aggressively diuresed with iv lasix and treated with standing nebulizers. he improved gradually and was transferred back to the floor. transitioned to oral lasix. continued beta-blocker and ace-inhibitor. continued albuterol and ipratroprum nebs as needed. room air sats were 94% on ra at rest and xx% on ambulation. cxr showed stable l lobar opacities. he was discharged with home physical therapy. # ventilator associated pneumonia: patient noted to have leukocytosis and left lower lobe infiltrate on cxr, likely vap versus aspiration pna during seizures 9could not distinguish between the two). unable to obtain speciation on sputum culture, so treated with 8 day course of vancomycin and zosyn. kept on aspiration precautions and diet per speech and swallow recommendations. # tb exposure: recent exposure to family member who died of tb of . afb sputum negative x3. kept in negative pressure room until completely ruled out. # nstemi: patient suffered an nstemi likely due to demand ischemia (hypotensive and tachycardic in the neuro icu after intubation requiring transient neosynephrine gtt) versus takatsubo/stress cardiomyopathy. therefore, decision was made not to do cardiac catherization. cardiac enzymes were cycled and were downtrending on discharge. continued cardioprotective meds (asa, statin, beta-blocker, started low dose ace-inhibitor). patient will need a stress test as outpatient # pump: patient had pulmonary edema with poor ef% (20-25%) which improved to 30% on repeat tte, likely due to recent myocardial insult. patient was diuresed and treated with beta blocker and afterload reduced with ace-inhibitor. he will need a repeat tte in weeks as outpatient. #

disease. the rca had a 30% proximal stenosis, diffuse stenosis in the mid-rca to 60% with a question of thrombus and a distal rca 95% stenosis and an ostial rpda 99% stenosis. 2. successful ptca and stenting of the distal rca into the pl system with a 2.75 x 15 mm promus to 3.5 distally and 3.0 proximally complicated by loss of the rpda (see ptca comments). 3. successful ptca and stenting of the mid-rca with overlapping 2.75 x 12 mm (distally) and 3.0 x 26 mm integrity (proximally) stents postdilated to 3.0 (see ptca comments). . tte (): the left atrium is normal in size. no atrial septal defect is seen by 2d or color doppler. left ventricular wall thickness, cavity size and regional/global systolic function are normal (lvef >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. there is no mitral valve prolapse. mild (1+) mitral regurgitation is seen. the tricuspid valve leaflets are mildly thickened. the pulmonary artery systolic pressure could not be determined. there is no pericardial effusion. brief hospital course: primary reason for admission: 66 year-old woman with copd and worsening cp/ transferred from osh for interventional cath now status post pci with stent x 3 to rca. . active diagnoses: . # cad: cardiac cath showed significant rca disease now s/p pci with stent x3. she had bms x2 placed to the mid rca (2.75 x 12 mm (distally) and 3.0 x 26 mm integrity (proximally) stents postdilated to 3.0) and des x1 to the distal rca (2.75 x 15 mm promus to 3.5 distally and 3.0 proximally). pci was c/b jailing of the rpda which resulted in cessation of flow to the pda that was confirmed by angiography. she had a slight bump in ckmb post procedure consistent with this finding, but ckmb was downtrending at the time of discharge. post-cath echo showed normal rv size and wall motion. . # post procedure hct drop: cardiac cath was c/b significant oozing at the femoral insertion site and the pt's hct dropped to 23 immediately post cath. she was transfused 2u prbcs with an appropriate response, and her hct at the time of discharge was stable at 32. she was admitted to the ccu for monitoring overnight and remained hemodynamically stable throughout her course. there was no evidence of femoral bruit or expaning hematoma at the femoral sheath site, but there was moderate superficial ecchymoses. . chronic diagnoses: . # copd: she has a ~80 year smoking history and was maintained on her home medications while hospatilized. a nicotine patch was provided. she was counseled on the importance of smoking cessation. pt was never sob after cardiac cath and never had any signs of symptoms of copd exacerbation. . # anxiety: pt was continued on her home citalopram and had no problems with anxiety during her course. . transitional issues: pt was discahrged home with asa 325, plavix 75, metoprolol, nitro, lipitor 80mg and nicotine patches as well as her existing copd meds. she was instructed on the importance of continuing asa/plavix and was counseled extensively on smoking cessation. she will follow up with cardiology and her pcp. medications on admission: ipratropium bromide 17- 2inh by mouth

ercp note. ct abdomen w/contrast conclusion: 1. inflamed enhancing thick-walled gallbladder with pericholecystic fluid suggestive of acute cholecystitis. there are internal hyperdensities within the gallbladder, which may represent sludge versus sloughing of the gallbladder mucosa which could represent early gangrenous cholecystitis. 2. dilated cbd and intrahepatic ducts with the cbd measuring approximately 8 mm without evidence of a definite calculus in the cbd. 3. stable compression deformity of l1 vertebral body with approximately 50% loss of vertebral body height. chest (pa & lat) no acute cardiopulmonary process. stable compression fracture. brief hospital course: ms. was admitted to the surgical service on with a chief complaint of nausea and vomiting. a ct scan showed gallbaldder wall thickening, a dialted cbd and multiple gallstones. the pt was started on ciprofloxacin and flagyl. on the pt underwent an ercp with sphincterotomy and a stent was placed. on the evening of during routine vital sign checks the pt was noted to have a heart rate in the 130's though she was asymptomatic. her systolic blood pressures were low in the high 80's to 90's where she had previously been in the 120-130s range. a 12 lead ekg was done whcih revealed atrial fibrilation with a rapid ventricular response. the pt was placed on telemetry and given 10mg of diltiazem iv for rate control, however she remained in raf in the 110-120 range with persistently low pressures despite being asymptomatic. at that time the decision was made to transfer her to the icu for managment of her a-fib. the pt was placed on phenelelhrine in the icu for her hypotension. by the morning of she was back in sinus rhythm, off pressors and once again normotensive. she was monitored thoughout the day and cardiology was consulted. her abdominal pain, however, persisted. on the pt was taken to the operating room for a lararoscopic cholecystectomy. the pt did experience some episodes of atrial fibrilation intra-operatively but remained hemodynamically stable. the pt was transferred to the icu post-operatively, but did not require any inotropic support. on the morning on pod1 she was transferred back to the regular surgical floor in sinus rhythm and under beta blockade. she was started on diet and advanced as tolerated. the pt was discharged to a rehab facility on , tolerating a regular diet, ambulating without assistance, and pain well conrolled with oral pain medications. patient will be discharged to home with vna services. she will follow up with dr. in 2 weeks and with

mcv-83 mch-28.8 mchc-34.5 rdw-13.6 plt ct-195 brief hospital course: the patient was admitted to dr. ??????s urology service after transuretral resection of prostate. his operative course was complicated by a very rough wakeup from anesthesia involving significant valsalva that turned what was initially light pink urine into bloody urine. he was maintained on brisk continuous bladder irrigation for the next 24 hours, and bled significantly, requiring the foley to be placed on traction and for transfer to the icu for nursing purposes. he remained hemodynamically stable throughout his hospitalization and did not require blood transfusions despite a drop in hct from 41 to 28. he required multiple episodes of clot irrigation to clear his bladder of old clot after his bleeding stopped on pod 1. his foley catheter was removed on pod 2 but the patient failed to void so an 18 fr coude catheter was replaced with fruit punch colored drainage. the foley was hand irrigated with no evidence of clot. at discharge, patient's pain well controlled with oral pain medications, tolerating regular diet, ambulating without assistance, and his foley was draining well. he was given oral pain medications on discharge as well as a 3-day course of abx. he was given explicit instructions to call dr. for follow-up and foley removal/void trial. medications on admission: 1. escitalopram 10

discharge disposition: home discharge diagnosis: bph discharge condition: stable discharge instructions: please call if your catheter stops draining or if your urine continues to get darker. the operation you have experienced is a "scraping" operation. bleeding was controlled with electrocautery which has produced a "scab" in the channel through which the urine passes (the urethra). about 1-2 weeks after the operation, pieces of the scab will fall off and come out with the urine. as this occurs, bleeding may be noted which is normal. you should not worry about this. simply lie down and increase your fluid intake for a few hours. in most cases, the urine will clear. if bleeding occurs or persists for more than 12 hours or if clots appear impairing your stream, call your surgeon. because of the potential for bleeding, aspirin (or advil) should be avoided for the first 3 weeks after surgery. you will be given a prescription for antibiotics to be taken for a few days after surgery. this is to help prevent infection. if you develop a fever over 101??????, chills, or pain in the testicles, call your surgeon. although not common, this may indicate infection that has developed beyond the control of the antibiotics that you have taken. it will take 6 weeks from the date of surgery to fully recovery from your operation. this can be divided into two parts -- the first 2 weeks and the last 4 weeks. during the first 2 weeks from the date of your surgery, it is important to be "a person of leisure". you should avoid lifting and straining, which also means that you should avoid constipation. this can be done by any of 3 ways: 1) modify your diet, 2) use stool softeners which have been prescribed for you, and 3) use gentle laxatives such as milk of magnesia which can be purchased at your local drug store. remember that the prostate is near the rectum, and therefore, it is important for you to be mindful of the way you sit. for example, sitting directly upright on a hard surface, such as an exercise bicycle , cause bleeding. reclining on a soft sea, or sitting on a "donut", is best. walking (not jogging) is okay. you should avoid sexual activity during this time. also, avoid driving an automobile. this is important, not because you are physically incapable of driving, but rather if you have an urge to urinate, it is important that you void and not let your bladder "stretch" too much, otherwise bleeding may occur. therefore, it is ok for you to be a passenger in an automobile (or even to drive for very short distances). during the second week period of your recovery, you may begin regular activity, but only on a graduated basis. for example, you may feel well enough to return to work, but you may find it easier to begin on a half-day basis. it is common to become quite tired in the afternoon, and if such occurs, it is best to take a nap! if you are a golfer, you may begin to swing a golf club at this time. sexual activity may be resumed during the second 3 week period, but only on a limited basis. remember that the ejaculate may be directed back into the bladder (rather than out), producing a "dry" orgasm which is a normal consequence of the operation. this should not change the quality of sex. in general, your overall activity may be escalated to normal as you progress through this second time period, such that by 6-8 weeks following the date of surgery, you should be back to normal activity. remember that your operation was a "scraping" operation and not all of the prostate was removed. therefore, you should still be monitored for prostate cancer (assuming age and general medical conditions dictate such). within one week of discharge, call our office for your return office visit appointment. followup

size of right thalamic hemorrhage. 2. increased amount of intraventricular hemorrhage with extension into the bilateral occipital horns and the fourth ventricle. 4. 4 mm leftward shift of normally midline structures. 5. no evidence for transtentorial herniation. head ct the right thalamic hemorrhage, with intraventricular extension is unchanged in comparison to yesterday's ct. associated edema and compression of the right lateral ventricle are stable. no areas of new hemorrhage are identified. small focus of high attenuation within the sulcus within the left parietal lobe is stable. opacification of the left sphenoid sinus and probable mucosal retention cysts are not significantly changed. impression: 1. unchanged right thalamic hemorrhage, with intraventricular extension and surrounding edema, and compression of the right lateral ventricle. 2. stable small focus of subarachnoid blood within the left parietal lobe, likely representing redistribution of blood. 3. no new hemorrhage identified. mri is more sensitive for the detection of acute stroke. brief hospital course: patient is 73 year-old left-handed man with a history of hypertension, recurrent dvt on warfarin (also on daily baby aspirin), dyslipidemia who presents today with onset of left-sided weakness and language difficulties since ~10:30 am. on general examination, he was hypertensive and bradycardic. his initial examination was notable for a fluent aphasia, left-sided neglect, and worsening left-sided weakness in an upper motor neuron pattern of distribution. he was initially anti-gravity on the left, but susequently became plegic. there is also evidence of loss of sensation to light touch and pinprick. inr is 2.9. ct head showed an acute right thalamic hemorrhage with extension into the ventricles, without hydrocephalus or shift. the location of the hemorrhage was suggestive of a non-traumatic etiology; the risk factors of hypertension and anti-coagulation are the most likely etiology. reversal treatment with vit k 10mg iv, profilnine 4 vials with 2 units ffp was done. given worsening exam, he was intubated for airway protection and head ct was repeated which showed increased hemorrhage with ~4mm leftward midline shift. neurosurgery was consulted and evd was considered but patient stabilized with repeat/3rd ct showing no significant changes hence no neurosurgical intervention was undertaken.patient was initially admitted to neuro icu and. he remained bradycardic with hr in 50's and occasionally requiring iv hydralazine to maintain sbp < 160~180. another head ct was performed in hd#2 which again had no significant changes to previous 2 ct's and his exam remained stable as well with l hemiplegia and neglect. he was successfully extubated on hd #3. on (hd#4) around 4~5am, patient developed afib with rvr which was refractory to metoprolol 5mg iv x4 hence dilatizem drip was started after bolus of 25mg iv. ekg showed afib rhythm without st changes and cardiac enzymes were negative including trop <0.01 x3. surface echo showed that he had preserved systolic function (lvef>55%) but both atria were dilated and he had mild pulmonary htn. no thrombus was seen. patient was not deemed to be a candidate for direct cardioversion given that he couldnot be anticoagulated after the intervention. he was started on asa 81mg daily and heparin sc 5000 tid for dvt ppx on and he was transferred to step down while still on diltiazem drip plus oral diltiazem for afib rate control. in the following days he remained stable. medications on admission: -warfarin 5

instructions: you were admitted to this hospital because you had subtle onset of left sided weakness and changes in your mental status. you underwent a headt ct and brain mri which showed signs of hemorrhage in the deep structure of the right side of the brain, called thalamus. you were treating deep venous thrombosis with anticoagulant therapy and you also have hypertension and this combination seems to be the cause of this hemorrhage. you received treatment to revert the anticoagulant therapy. during this admission you presented irregular cardiac rhythm called atrial fibrillation, and this condition is not new to you. you will need to follow up with your cardiology. please contact your primary care doctor or return to the emergency department if you have weakness,

thicknesses and cavity size are normal. right ventricular chamber size and free wall motion are normal. there are simple atheroma in the aortic root. the descending thoracic aorta is moderately dilated. a mobile density is seen in the ascending aorta consistent with an intimal flap/aortic dissection. a mobile density is seen in the aortic arch consistent with an intimal flap/aortic dissection. a mobile density is seen in the descending aorta consistent with an intimal flap/aortic dissection. the aortic wall is thickened consistent with an intramural hematoma. the aortic valve leaflets (3) are mildly thickened. there is no aortic valve stenosis. trace aortic regurgitation is seen. the mitral valve appears structurally normal with trivial mitral regurgitation. there is no

intracranial carotid arteries with mild narrowing of the left m1 segment. 2. evidence of dissection in the left common carotid artery from its origin at the aortic arch, extending into the lower neck with luminal narrowing. grossly patent mid and distal portions of the left common carotid and cervical internal carotid arteries with limited assessment for details. 3. decreased signal in the distal vertebral and proximal basilar arteries with mild narrowing of the distal basilar artery. . renal ultrasound: limited exam due to portable technique, patient's intubated status, and body habitus. there is again maintenance of arterial and venous flow to both kidneys; however, the resistive indices are persistently slightly elevated bilaterally. abnormal waveforms in the left main renal artery may relate to its origination from the aortic false lumen. . chest and abd ct scan(without contrast): 1. status post aortic dissection repair with evidence of graft placement at the ascending aorta. small amount of hemorrhage within the mediastinum, presumably post-surgical. 2. bilateral opacities at the lung bases and in lingula, could be atelectasis, cannot exclude superinfection. 3.

pericardial effusion without echocardiographic evidence of tamponade. . labs: inr = 2.0 brief hospital course: mr. was admitted and underwent emergent surgical repair of his type a aortic dissection. for surgical details, please see operative note. following the operation, he was brought to the cvicu in critical condition. cardiac: remained hypertensive in the postoperative period intitially requiring intravenous nitroglycerin. he required multiple antihypertensive agents and was slowly transitioned to po regimen. throughout his hospital stay, he remained in a normal sinus rhythm. no atrial or ventricular arrhythmias were noted on telemetry. neuro: due to peristent hypertension, he required prolonged period of sedation and paralysis. as sedation and paralytics were weaned, he awoke confused and agitated. he remained oriented to place and appeared to be moving all four extremities. the day following extubation( pod#5), he was noted to have no movement on his right side, a right facial droop and expressive aphasia. neurology was consulted and imaging studies confirmed acute stroke(mostly left mca territory), likely embolic etiology. given no evidence of bleed, he was started on intravenous heparin. postoperative echcardiogram revealed a patent foramen ovale while lower extremity ultraound found no evidence of deep vein thrombosis. he was eventually started on warfarin anticoagulation and dosed for a goal inr between 2.0 - 3.0. he should followup with dr. as an outpatient. at discharge, he was alert and oriented. he continues to have right sided weakness and expressive aphasia. ambulatin gshort distances with assistance. pulmonary: initially remained hypoxic and required mechanical ventilation for prolonged period of time. with diuresis, hypoxia gradually improved. eventually extubated on postoperative day six. due to his acute stroke, he was reintubated for safety measures on postoperative day six given the need for imaging studies. he was eventually re-extubated several days later without difficulty. aspiration event on postoperative 11 requiring re-intubation. re-extubated on postoperative day 14. at discharge, he continues to require aggressive pulmonary toilet. his oxygen saturations were 98% on room air. id: initially started on bactrim for fevers in the early postoperative period. pan cultures at that time were unremarkable, and all lines were changed accordingly. diarrhea was c. diff negative. despite persistent fevers, empiric antibiotics were eventually discontinued given all cultures remained negative. following aspiration event on postoperative day 11, broad spectrum antibiotics were resumed. white count peaked to 28k on postoperative day 12. id service was consulted and continued to adjust antibiotic therapy. subsequent blood cultures showed coagulase negative staphylococcus, and tee showed no evidence of valvular vegetations. all antibiotics were discontinued on . at discharge, his wbc was normal and he remained afebrile. heme: initially transfused with prbc's in the early postoperative period. postoperative anemia remained stable, between 25 - 29%. renal: acute renal insufficiency with creatinine peaking to 2.6 on postoperative day five. by discharge, his creatinine normalized. renal ultrasound confirmed maintenance of arterial and venous flow to both kidneys. at discharge, he was making adequate urine. nutrition: following acute stroke, underwent speech and swallow evaluation which initially showed no evidence of aspiration on ground solid diet with nectar thick liquids. depsite supervision with meals, he experienced aspiration on postoperative day 11. tube feedings were therefore resumed. intermittently required free water for hypernatremia. on , he underwent percutaneous endoscopic gastrotomy tube placement. there were no complications and he tolerated the procedure well. repeat swallow evaluation on showed significant improvement in swallow function. po

evaluated in the ed and found to be in severe shock from presumed pulmonary infection. a central venous line was placed in the ed and antibiotic therapy and fluid resucitation were begun immediately. the patient was admitted to the medical intensive care unit where his hypotension and hypernatremia were treated with vigourous iv fluid rehydration without the use of pressors. his pneumonia continued to be treated with broad spectrum antibiotics with levofloxacin and vancomysin. an ng tube was placed to provide continued nutrition during this acute recovery phase of his illness. once he began showing signs of clinical improvement and stability, the patient was transferred to the floor for continued care. over the following days his renal fxn improved to better than baseline, his white count and left shift began resolving, his mental status started to clear, and he became afebrile. at the time of transfer to rehab macu, the patient was still in guarded but stable condition. he is not yet ambulating, not yet tolerating a po diet, and still experiencing episodic delerium. the patient is also still has an oxygen requirement and is undergoing gentle diuresis to improve the pulmonary edema and pleural effusions that developed secondary to his vigourous hydration in the macu. mr. has also been constipated is on a bowel regimen to help him move his stools. a spigelian (abdominal wall) hernia found on ct abdomen could also be explaining his episodic abdominal pain. he was seen and evaluated by the general surgery team who felt this could be handled later once the patient's general functional status was more improved. contact information for follow-up is given in the discharge follow-up instructions. the plan at the time of discharge is to continue antibiotic therapy and gentle diuresis at rehab with slow advances in diet and activity as tolerated. once the patient has improved, arrangements should also be made to see his pcp and the surgical specialists.

admission. patient was dialyzed on his normal schedule and pressures tolerated this without issue. he refused many of his medications throughout admission. #bacteremia: patient had one blood culture positive for gram positive cocci, mssa. he was treated with iv vancomycin given penicillin allergy. patient will be treated for 10 day course, last day . a picc line was placed for iv administration following discharge. patient was afebrile and hemodynamically stable at the time of discharge. he had two days of surveillance cultures with no growth to date at the time of discharge. #atrial fibrillation: patient had an episode of atrial fibrillation during his catheterization. he was given amiodarone, and spontaneously converted to sinus rhythm. he again had an episode of atrial fibrillation on hd5 and was started on an amiodarone drip. he spontaneously converted into sinus rhythm again, later the same day. he was started on oral amiodarone with a goal loading dose of 8g. at the time of discharge, his dose was 300mg po bid. he will continue this for 11 days, ending . at that time, he should be transitioned to amiodarone 200mg po daily. despite chads2 score of 3, patient was felt to be a poor candidate for anticoagulation given poor medication compliance and fall risk. patient was in sinus rhythm and hemodynamically stable at the time of discharge. # htn: patient was in cardiogenic shock at the time of admission, therefore his home anti-hypertensives were held. since bps were still lowish at discharge norvasc was discontinued and valsartan was continued but at a much lower dose (40mg ). # hld: patient is s/p stemi. he was changed to 40mg po atorvastatin daily as he is also on amiodarone, and therefore was felt to not necessitate 80mg daily. # right heel ulcer: patient had a 2x4 cm ulcer on right heel consistent with arterial insufficiency. per report, this has been followed by vascular surgery as an outpatient. patient was evaluated by both vascular surgery and podiatry. both teams agreed that the ulcer was not actively infected, and therefore there was no indication for antibiotics. the ulcer was cleaned daily with application of santil ointment. an xray of the heel was performed showing an ulcer but no cortical destruction. per vascular surgery, the patient should have an abi checked as an outpatient. # bilateral hearing loss: patient reported acute hearing deficit coinciding with his myocardial infarction. no obstructive cause was apparent on otoscopic examination. hearing loss appeared to be symmetric. he was not given otoxic drugs. ischemia in the setting of cardiogenic shock is also a possiblity. symptoms were not consistent with cva causing hearing loss, as he had no associated symptoms of nystagmus, nausea or dizziness as would be expected. patient's hearing improved spontaneously. he should have ent follow-up as an outpatient if he continues to have further issues. # compliance: patient refused many medications throughout admission, which made regulation of blood sugar and electrolytes difficult. he was made aware of the risks involved in refusing each medication. chronic issues: # dm: patient is on oral hypoglycemics and insulin at home. patient's blood sugars were controlled throughout admission on a diabetic diet and insulin sliding scale. transitional issues: - patient maintained full code status throughout hospitalization - patient will need abis performed as outpatient. dressing changes daily to heel. will also need to follow-up with his vascular surgeon. - follow-up with ent if hearing issues persist -follow- up with cardiology in approximately 2 weeks medications on admission: home medications: - norvasc 10mg on non-hd days - sensipar 120mg daily - trazodone 50mg qhs -

allergies: penicillins attending: chief complaint: cardiac arrest major surgical or invasive procedure: none history of present illness: 78 yo female with h/o mi x2, right carotid endarterectomy, htn, prediabetes, dyslipidemia, stroke, cri who experienced a slow speed mva this morning (backed up into another car), and afterwards was pale and started vomiting. she was transported to the ed by her niece at 0825 with initial rhythm ventricular tachycardia (rate around 160bpm) with no palpable pulse/hypotension (88/50mmhg) and was found to be cool, clammy and diaphoretic. she was synchronized cardioverted x 3 at the osh. she underwent cpr and initially got bolus of amiodarone and then an infusion of it. patient was then intubated. patient continued in vt receiving 2 more synchronized cardioversion, a bolus of lidocaine and a new bolus of amiodarone. rhythm then converted to ventricular fibrillation (shocked once) and then pea; patient received 1 amp of epinephrine. rhythm converted to vfib again, receiving 2 amps of epi, 1 bolus of lidocaine and 2gm of magnesium. pulse was then found; patient was in vfib for at least 10 minutes. . ecg after the code blue was concerning for inferior stemi. patient had ice packs placed and she was then transported to . en route, patient became agitated, trying to pull her ett, and patient got fentanyl and versed for sedation. . in the ed ecg showed pattern compatible with vtach (multiple morphologies) patient has been stable with sbps 100s-110s even when she flips into vt, which she does intermittently. patient continued on amiodarone gtt (2 mg/min) and lidocaine gtt (2 mg/min). she was also started on iv heparin and given pr aspirin. patient moves all four extremities, but is not responding to commands. she got a bolus of midazolam at the time of her arrival; so it??????s difficult to assess the patient??????s neurologic status. she has underwent ct head, c-spine, chest, abdomen and pelvis, as well as a chest x-ray. cardiac catheterization was deferred because the patients neurologic was not intact, as well as the most likely cause of her monomorphic vt is a previous scar and not a current mi. right ij was placed before transfer. ng tube and foley were also placed. sedation was switched to propofol. . labs were significant for wbc count of 15k. creatinine was 1.8 from an unknown baseline. troponin was elevated to 0.21. vbg showed 7.05/50/52/15, with lactate 10.9, free calcium 1.08. glucose was elevated to 400s. rectal temperature on transfer is 35.3 c. p 76, bp 115/60, map 74, fio2 of 100, peep 5, rate 16,

left lower limb was noted to be cold, mottled (progressing all the way to her hip at that time, but more prominent below the knee) and no distal pulses could be palpated. vascular surgery was called to evaluate the patient, the main diagnosis considered was an acute arterial thrombotic event so the patient was given an initial heparin bolus at 80u/kg iv and then a heparin infusion was started. anti-arrythmic gtts were d/cd without recurrence of vt. because of hypotension patient was started on a low dose of phenylephrine (other vasopressors were considered but due to risk of triggering arrhythmias phenylephrine was selected). an axillary line was placed. and arctic sun protocol was initiated. past medical history: diabetes hypertension hypothyroidism gerd gout tia status post right

ventricular wall thicknesses are normal. the left ventricular cavity is mildly dilated. there is severe regional left ventricular systolic dysfunction with focal thinning and akinesis of the inferior and inferolateral walls and hypokinesis of the inferior septum and apex. there is mild hypokinesis of the remaining segments (lvef = 25 %). right ventricular chamber size and free wall motion are normal. the aortic valve leaflets (3) are mildly thickened but aortic stenosis is not present. mild (1+) aortic regurgitation is seen. the mitral valve leaflets are mildly thickened. there is no mitral valve prolapse. there is moderate thickening of the mitral valve chordae. mild (1+) mitral regurgitation is seen. there is borderline pulmonary artery systolic hypertension. there is an anterior space which most likely represents a prominent fat pad. impression: suboptimal image quality. severe left ventricular regional dysfunction with thinning/akinesis of the inferior and inferolateral walls, and hypokinesis of the inferior septum and apex c/w multivessel cad. mild mitral regurgitation. mild aortic regurgitation. borderline pulmonary hypertension. ct head : 1. no evidence of intracranial hemorrhage. 2. focal hypodensity involving the left caudate head. the chronicity of this finding is indeterminate, due to lack of previous exams, and it likely represents remote infarction or sequela of small vessel ischemic disease. ct spine : no evidence of acute fracture or malalignment. extensive degenerative disc disease of the cervical spine, most pronounced at c5-c6 and c6-c7. in the setting of high clinical suspicion for ligamentous or cord injury, mr may be considered for further assessment. abdominal xray : 1. distal end of nasogastric tube is seen within the stomach. a minimal amount of gas is seen within non-distended bowel with no evidence of bowel obstruction. no large amount of free area is seen, although detection is limited on a supine film. calcification of the right upper quadrant likely represents a gallstone. degenerative changes in the lower lumbar spine. bilateral hip replacements. followup imaging should be considered given the limited evaluation on this study. cxr : right ij catheter tip is in the upper right atrium. et tube tip is in standard position, 3.8 cm above the carina. ng tube tip is out of view below the diaphragm. there are low lung volumes. there is no evident pneumothorax. there is moderate cardiomegaly. widened mediastinum is unchanged from one hour earlier. diffuse opacity is in the left hemithorax suggests the presence of layering pleural effusion. left lung opacities could be atelectasis, contusion and/or aspiration. brief hospital course: hospital course: 78 yo female with h/o cad, cva, chronic renal insufficiency presents with cardiac arrest at osh, transferred here for concern of stemi, who underwent therapeutic hypothermia complicated by ischemic lle, dic, gi bleeding, and shock. patient was intubated on transfer and was cooled per protocol. given the patient's very poor prognosis and in accordance with family's wishes, care was withdrawn and the patient passed away. . # post cardiac arrest: pt was pulseless at osh with vt, vfib, and pea and underwent acls with multiple rounds of cardioversion/defibrillation and multiple rounds of epi before recovery of pulse. pt was in a pulseless rhythm for at least 10 minutes. vt was treated with lidocaine and amiodraone. the pt was transferred here for concern of stemi post resuscitation. she was initated on cooling protocol approximately 8 hours after being found pulseless. her course was complicated by cold and pulseless left lower extremity, gi bleed, multiorgan failure, lactic acidosis, and dic. the family understood the grave prognosis of the patient. in the setting of continued hypotension with max dose phenylephrine, multiorgan failure, and bleeding despite rewarming and cryoprecipitate, care was withdrawn per family wishes. . # shock/shock liver/acute renal failure: most likely mix between distributive and cardiogenic as suggested by wide pulse pressure despite alpha agonist therapy and elevated cvp (cardiogenic) with ef 25% on echo. phenylephrine chosen due to it being less likely to reintroduce vt. pt had clear evidence of end organ damage including shock liver, severe metabolic acidosis with elevated lactate to 13, no urine output, cold ischemic left leg. pt was given intermittent fluid boluses, prbc, ffp, cryoprecipitate, bicarbonate, hyperventilated, and started on vanc and zosyn to attempt to restore intravascular volume, treat the bleeding, and remedy the acidosis without avail. given grave prognosis, the family decided to not escalate care. . # ventricular tachycardia: most likely a result of scar causing monomorphic vt. resolved with lidocaine and amiodarone drip. these were discontinued on arrival to the floor without recurrence of vt. . #. dic: during the evening, pt began oozing at iv sites had brb per ng tube and brbpr. the patient was found to be in dic. plt dropped from 167->64, inr rose from 1.1 to 3.3, fdp rose to above 1280, and fibrinogen dropped from 232->105. the patient was rewarmed and heparin was stopped. the patient was given 1 unit of prbcs and 2 units of cryo and 2 units of ffp with some reversal of labs. . # gi bleed: pt with 400cc of brb via ngt, cleared slowly on lavage, hct stable. rectal exam demonstrated brbpr. the patient was started on iv pantoprazole. most likely this was ischemia reperfusion injury and dic. gi was consulted and agreed that endoscopy would not be of assistance in this case. . # coronary artery disease/? stemi: pt with inferior st elevations with reciprocal depressions on osh ecg that resolved. unclear if this was true event vs related to shock vs transient ischemic event that resolved. given unclear neurologic prognosis due to prolonged resuscitation efforts, she did not go to the cardiac catheterization lab. trop elevation non specific in setting of shock and arrest . # ischemic right leg: on arrival to the floor, left leg with non dopplerable dp/pt/popliteal pulse, cold, with mottling from lower extremity to all the way up the thigh. most likely ischemic from arrest and shock in setting of bad pvd. vascular surgery was consutled. patient was started on heparin gtt, which was stopped after development of dic. . # s/p mva: patient was in slow-moving car accident. there was no evidence of acute fractures/injuries on radiographic imaging. . # leukocytosis: patient with wbc count 15k which escalated to . most likely from stress induced post arrest but cannot rule out infection. potential etiologies included pneumonia (chest x-ray with left-sided infiltrate), uti, gastroenteritis (given h/o vomiting). pt pan cultured and started on vanc and zosyn . # diabetes mellitus: pt's blood sugars were very high >400s in setting of cooling and stress. pt was placed in insulin drip. . medications on admission: 1) lasix 20mg po bid 2) metoprolol 50mg po bid 3) quinipril 10mg po daily 4) levothyroxine 125mcg po daily 5) allopurinol 300mg po daily 6)

placement of intra aortic balloon mitral valve replacement, maze,ligation of left atrial appendage history of present illness: this 78 year old white male has had essentially no medical for 20 plus years. he was told in the early summer he had dental abscesses but declined intervention then. he recalls fever at the time, despite a 10 day course of antibiotics. he eventually underwent dental surgery and received another 10 day course of antibiotics. he now presented to with fever and malaise and a murmur was appreciated. an echocardiogram was concerning for mitral vegetation and after being cultured was begun on vancomycin and unasyn. he was then transferred for further evaluation. echcardiography and cardiac catheterization were performed and a flail posterior mitral leaflet was seen. denatal extarctions were performed after an intra aortic balloon was placed for stabilization. infectious disease was consulted as well. . past medical history: dental abscess social history:

systolic function. probable flail posterior mitral leaflet with at least moderate to severe mitral regurgitation. severe tricuspid regurgitation in the presence of a possible septal leaflet vegetation. at least moderate pulmonary artery systolic hypertension (ivc not visualized). tee ():flail posterior mitral valve with severe mitral regurgitation. no vegetation, mass, or thrombus seen. ruq ultrasound (): 1. extremely dilated hepatic veins and ivc, and pulsatile pv flow, findings suggestive of right heart failure, tricuspid insufficieny and congestive hepatopathy secondary to cardiac dysfunction. 2. no definite hepatic mass or abscess. 3. large right pleural effusion. 4. limited examination of the pancreas, biliary tree, and gallbladder. cardiac cath (): 1. selective coronary angiography of this right dominant system demonstrated no angiographically apparant coronary artery disease. 2. resting hemodynamics demonstrated significantly elevated right and left sided filling pressures, with a mean ra pressure of 22 mmhg, a rvedp of 22 mmhg, a mean pa prssure of 39 mmhg, and a mean pcwp of 22 mmhg. 3. the cardiac output/index were severely reduced to 1.9/1.0 4. svr and pvr were elevated 5. an iabp was inserted in the right femoral artery 6. a 8 french venous sheath was sutured in place. brief hospital course: following admission the infectious disease service was consulted. several tees failed to reveal mitral vegetations, but did demonstaret a flail posterior leaflet. antibiotics were continued. no coronary disease was found at catheterization and an intra aortic balloon was placed to stabilize hemodynamics and unload the ventricle. beta blockade was utilized to reduce his rapid ventricular rate in atrial fibrillation. multiple dental extaractions were completed as he was prepared for cardiac surgery. on he went to the operating room where valve replacement, maze and ligation of the left atrial appendage was performed. the tricuspid regurgitation was reduced to trace after mitral replacement. the balloon was retained and the right heart was severely impaired at the end of surgery, requiring milrinone, epinephrine and neo synephrine to wean from bypass. tissue culteres and ribosomal pcr samples were sent intraoperatively. vasopressin was added on the night of surgery. his iabp was removed on pod2 followed by worsening heart function- his pressor support was escalated and the intraortic balloon pump was reinserted. he stabalized mom but then developed a lactic acidosis and elevated liver function tests. he was seen by general surgery and brought to the operating room for an exploratory laparotomy and cholecysectomy. post-operatively he had acute renal failure requiring continuous venovenous hemodialysis. he also developed bilataterally cold lower extremity limbs and the iabp was removed. eventually, his toes became necrotic. he ultimately was found to have developed heparin antibodies and all heparin containing meds/catheters were stopped and he was started on argatroban. he continued to have an escalating pressor need and was hypothermic. blood cultures ultimately grew out albicans- he was started on antifungals at that time. a long discussion was carried out with family. given the fact that his prognosis was poor, and that his quality of life would be what the patient desired, even if he was to recover from the sepsis, the family decided to make this patient comfort measures only. his pressors were stopped and he expired shortly thereafter. he was pronounced at 15:40. medications on

gallstone pancreatitis: patient had an unremarkable exam, with 2 criteria giving a 1% mortality. it is unclear if she has had episodes of pancreatitis before. she was given morphine for pain control and liberal iv fluids. she was made npo, and taken for ercp soon after admission, upon which a 3-4 mm common bile duct stone was noted. her lfts and amylase elevation resolved. her diet was advanced steadily and she was tolerating a soft mechanical diet on discharge. # cholangitis: patient had dilated common bile duct on ultrasound, and ruq pain, with labs suggestive of biliary obstruction. had choledocholithiasis on ercp. she was afebrile and with stable vital signs, but was placed on ampicillin/sulbactam for presumptive cholangitis for planned 7-day course. however, on work-up of her delirium she was found to have a uti that had intermediate resistance to unasyn, so her antibiotics were changed to ceftriaxone and metronidazole and later cefpodoxime and metronidazole. she received a total of 10 days of antibiotics. # toxic-metabolic encephalopathy: patient was noted to have hyperactive delirium following her ercp, most likely in the setting of infection. she was treated with ampicillin/sulbactam for presumed cholangitis. she was given intravenous fluids for hydration, re-oriented frequently, and sensory environment was optimized. patient required intermittent doses of haloperidol for agitation. she continued to have delirium and was transferred to the medicine service for further management. work up was positive for uti, constipation and vitamin b12 deficiency. she was treated for all 3, but her symptoms did not improve. initially she was not responsive to zyprexa during periods of agitation, so seroquel and trazadone were started qhs. she had two episodes of unresponsiveness after the first night (details described below), so these medications were discontinued. her mental status continued to wax and wane during admission, however, patient became more calm and less hyperactive overall and was not on any psychoactive medications at discharge. it is unclear what her baseline was prior to admission, however, it is likely that she had baseline dementia given her current mental status. # unresponsiveness: patient had an episode of unresponsiveness on . she was doing well early during pre-rounds and then around 10:30am she became more somnolent and was not responsive to sternal rub; only responded to nail bed pressure. fsbg was 121, ekg was unchanged, o2 sat was 97-99% on room air. she was sensitive to movements and retracted when her legs were flexed. she developed some rhythmic movements of her lower extremities. there was no bowel or bladder incontinence. it was thought that maybe this was a delayed reaction to the seroquel 12.5mg and trazadone 25mg po that she had received the previous night. there was also concern for a seizure. she recovered from this episode after 1.5 hours and then was back in her baseline delirious state. this occurred again later that afternoon. stat eeg was ordered and neurology was consulted. after the second event, there was increased concern for siezure, however, eeg did not reveal seizure activity and neurology did not think that this was consistent with seizure. all psychotropic medications were discontinued. these episodes did not recur. # urinary tract infection: patient was found to have a urinary tract infection, which likely contributed to her delirium. she was treated with a 7-day course of cefpodoxime. # ingrown toenail: patient had ingrown left hallux that was trimmed by podiatry. no evidence of infection. #

definite intraluminal stone seen. correlation with lfts and consider mrcp as clinically warranted. . ct abdomen : impression: 1. worsening diffuse acute pancreatitis. no complications of collections or pancreatic ductal dilatation. mild relative of pancreatic head is likely due to fat replacement and is unchanged. increased perihepatic and perisplenic free fluid, with fluid extending along both gutters. regional reactive lymph nodes have increased in size and number. 3. focal filling defect in the mid splenic vein is likely nonocclusive thrombus, new from previous exam. 4. development of bilateral layering pleural effusions with bibasilar atelectasis and/or consolidation. . cxr : there is worsening of the opacification of the right lower lung that might represent interval development of atelectasis and/or infectious process. the left lung base is also involved by atelectasis but to a lesser extent. a left picc line tip is at the level of cavoatrial junction. the apices of the lungs are unremarkable. no pneumothorax is seen. small amount of pleural effusion cannot be excluded. surgical clips projecting over the right upper mediastinum are unchanged. . no labs at discharge. brief hospital course: # necrotizing pancreatitis: presented with abdominal pain and an elevated lipase, with ct consistent with necrotizing pancreatitis (<30% necrosis). etiology was unclear, but possibly alcohol related. she reports drinking alcoholic beverages daily, but likely drinks significantly more based on information from her family. no new medications, but does appear to be on crestor which has been noted to be a rare cause of pancreatitis. no gallstones were seen on liver/gallbladder ultrasound and ct imaging did not suggest gall-stone pancreatitis. igg4 sent and was wnl. patient was made npo and treated with aggressive ivf, her electrolytes were repleted. given she had <30% necrosis antibiotics were not given. her pain was treated with dilauded pca. on hd#2 the patient was noted to have a worsening abdominal exam so ct was repeated and did not show any new findings, just ongoing pancreatitis. surgery was consulted and did not see indication for urgent intervention. gi was also consulted and felt the pancreatitis could be due to viral etiology, medication, or alcohol. on hd# 2 the patient's mother called to say that per patient's boyfriend she has been having about 3 drinks a night (mostly hard lemonade/cider) which could have been contributing. her lipase trended down rapidly from 1415 on admission to 18 on . her wbc count also trended down from 28.7 on admission to 9.0 on . she has continued to have abdominal pain and nausea, but was clearly improving. her diet was advanced to sips/clears on . she was transferred out of the icu after further improvement. however, she was having nausea and vomiting when attempting to eat her clears. -jejunal tube was placed and enteral tube feeds were started on , but she then vomited up her ngt. on , a repeat post-pyloric ngt was placed and tube feeds were again started, but at a much slower rate. she tolerated the tube feeds at 80cc/hr x16 hours a day well. the goal is to have her only need the ngt for ~2weeks, and hopefully she can have it removed as an outpatient at her gi f/u appt. she went home with the ngt and a donated pump and instructions on how to give tf's, as she doesn't have health insurance so could not afford a visiting nurse. . # coffee ground emesis: per history, patient had bloody emesis x 4 days in the setting of nausea and retching. she remained hemodynamically stable, with hct 50.5 down to 39.5 with ivf (which is her baseline) in the icu. ng lavage in ed was clear, and so this was felt likely due to tear. patient was initially on protonix iv which was continued due to her ongoing abdominal pain, but later converted to po. she will follow up with gi to determine the duration of this medication. . # hypoxia: patient required 2-3 l 02 to keep sats >90 after the second day of admission. this was multifactorial: fluid, pancreatic inflammation, atelectasis from lying in bed. she showed no signs of pneumonia, and oxygen was quickly weaned off by the time of transfer to the floor. she was continued on ra throughout the rest of her admission. . # dka/agma: bg 445 with glucosuria and ketonuria on admission. likely related to her nausea and pancreatitis. metformin held and patient put on ssi. her glucose improved and her gap closed with ivf only. . # leukocytosis with left shift: afebrile without localizing signs and symptoms outside of abdomen. ddx includes pancreatitis versus infection with superimposed hemoconcentration. u/a without evidence for infection, no evidence for colitis or pancreatic fluid collection on ct imaging. patient did receive one dose of ceftriaxone and flagyl in the ed but this was not continued. patient remained afebrile and leukocytosis resolved while treating pancreatitis as above. . # sinus tachycardia: resolved with aggressive ivf and pain control. . # chronic regional pain syndrome: at home patient is on gabapentin, percocet, and tizanidine. when patient came in she was strictly npo and pain was not controlled with iv dilaudid boluses so she was transitioned to dilaudid pca. her pain control was improved and although the patient still reported ongoing pain she appeared calm, sleepy, and abdominal exam was benign. there was concern for narcotic seeking behavior. her gabapentin and tizanadine were restarted. she was weaned of her dilaudid pca shortly after transfer to the floor and switched to diludid iv. she was switched to dilaudid po on after losing iv access. her dilaudid dose was decreased after an episode of possible over sedation on . she was switched to percocet on with good effect, and was sent home with a 1 week course of percocet, enough to get to her outpt f/u appts. . # htn: she intially had sbp 100 off all her anti-hypertensives likely due to third spacing from pancreatitis. with ivf only, her sbp was 130s by the time she was transferred to the floor. her hypotension resolved, and she was restarted on lisinopril 10 mg po daily (home dose 20 mg) on . clonidine 0.2 mg po bid (home dose 0.6 mg ) was started later that night, and increased to 0.4 mg po bid on . amlodipine 10 mg po daily was also restarted on . it was felt she should not go back on hctz due to potential to cause pancreatitis, but her lisinopril was increased back to home dose of 20mg prior to dispo. . # fatty liver on us: patient will need follow up as an outpatient. . pending labs: none . transitional care issues: patient will need her ngt and po intake assessed at her gi follow-up appointment, and hopefully it can be removed at this time. in addition, she will need her fatty liver seen on u/s to be followed up as an outpatient. we encouraged pt to stop drinking both for her pancreatitis and liver. if she is unable to, she may need outpatient alcohol counselling treatment. . medications on admission: rosuvastatin 40 mg po qhs amlodipine 10 mg po qhs carvedilol 12.5 mg po qam lisinopril 20 mg po bid clonidine 0.6 mg po bid hydrochlorothiazide 25 mg

will need close gi and surgery follow up - will need mrcp once pancreatic inflammation improves to rule out anatomic/malignant process - aggressive nutritional support dka/type2 diabetes mellitus: dka developed as a result of severe pancreatic injury. she was initially on an insulin drip. her metformin was stopped due to her pancreatitis. she was transitioned to insulin in her tpn, plus lantus with hiss. was consulted and assisted with glucose management. - will need to go home with nph and hiss, with teaching - insulin in tpn - follow up malnutrition, severe: caused by her severe pancreatitis. she could not tolerate tube feedings in the outpatient setting. the possibility was discussed for gj tube placement, but was deferred in the setting of her pancreatic inflammation. thus tpn was initiated. tpn was cycled once sugars were better controlled. - continue tpn for the next weeks post discharge until follow up with gi and surgery. once pancreatic inflammation improves, should transition back to full orals. . hypertension: be due to pain but patient has underlying essential hypertension and several medication changes have been made recently. hctz and carvedilol were stopped during her last admission due to concerns about causing her pancreatitis. her pcp instructed her to stop her lisinopril and amlodipine on due to hypotension, likely in the setting of dehydration and decreased po intake. -

operation. she tolerated the procedure well and was brought to the floor postoperatively. initially she had poor pain control and was started on a ketamine drip by the chronic pain service. she had a hematocrit of 22 on pod1 and hence was transfused x1 unit. on pod3 she she began to be weaned from the ketamine drip. her epidural was discontinued and her foley was discontinued. on pod4 she was started on clear liquids, her ketamine drip had been stopped, and chronic pain was consulted for management recommendations. she was vaccinated for meningococcus, pneumococcus, and hemophilus influenza b. overnight from pod4 to pod5 she began to become mildly febrile and tachycardic. she was treated with iv lopressor, which had only a modest effect. urine and blood cultures x 2 were sent, and a chest x-ray was performed which demonstrated no intrapulmonary source of infection. her temperature continued to rise to a maximum of 104, and she became hypotensive, at which point she was transferred to the intensive care unit. in the intensive care unit her picc line and her central line were discontinued as possible sources of infection. she was empirically started on vancomycin, ceftriaxone, and fluconazole, given her history of yeast infection in the past. blood cultures drawn from the floor returned positive for gram positive cocci in clusters. her ceftriaxone was discontinued and she was continued on vancomycin and fluconazole. she was started on tube feeds and was slowly advanced towards her goal of 90cc/hour. she became afebrile and was transferred back to the floor on . her foley catheter was discontinued. on she continued to have intermittent hypotension and was bolused with good effect. she was started on an oral pain medication regimen. on the next hospital day, her jp amylase returned at 178. her vancomycin trough was therapeutic. her platelet count was 1118, hence she was started on antiplatelet therapy with asa 325. on her vancomycin dose was adjusted to dosing. she was toelrating her tube feeds at goal of 90cc/hour, cycled over 16 hours. on she had a picc line placed. placement was confirmed by chest x-ray. she was discharged home with visiting services for vancomycin administration, which will continue for a total of 10 days from her first day of therapeutic vancomycin levels. she also will continue on her tube feeds for the time being. medications on admission: clonidine .2'', doxepin dose uncertain, fentanyl patch, gabapentin 300 in am in noon, dilaudid 6 tid, needed for prn, insulin dose uncertain, naratriptan 2.5', zofran

ap) study date of 10:44 am impression: diffuse hazy opacities within both lungs, without evidence for volume overload. findings are most concerning for a diffuse infectious process, likely with atypical organisms. if the patient is immunocompromised, pcp should be considered. brief hospital course: on admission there was high index of suspicion for pcp given the appearance on chest x-ray and a significant amount of oropharyngeal thrush. bronchoscopy with bal on was positive for pcp. was presumptively started on bactrim and prednisone treatment in the emergency department. she was consented for hiv testing and it came back positive with a viral load (vl) of 114,000 and a cd4 of 8. her oxygenation was tenuous initially requiring face mask with desaturation to the high 70 with movement to the commode but she did not require intubation. over the course of her treatment she was transition ed to face tent and eventually to 4-5 l of oxygen via nasal cannula. her overall oxygenation minimally improved very slowly despite bactrim with a prolonged steroid taper. she was finally discharged home with o2 supplementation of l to keep o2 sat at 94 % at rest. her hypoxia was related to the pcp . for confirmation, she underwent cta of the lung which was negative for pulmonary embolism. the ct did show diffuse ground glass opacities as well as lymphadenopathy without effusions consistent with the diagnosis of pcp. her exertional hypoxia, she remained well with minimal symptoms (only mild dyspnea with activity but no significant cough and no fever or chest pain). patient remained in the hospital for several extra days hoping that her hypoxia will improve. it did remain stable at the above level without any additional symptoms (4-5 l at rest with o2 sat at 94 with decrease to 87-85 with activity. without oxygen, her o2 sat will decrease to 76 with activity). in regards to the new diagnosis of aids(aids defining illness and cd4 of 8), her toxoplasma igg was positive. she was started on azithromycin for prophylaxis. id was consulted and will follow her closely as an outpatient ( 3 days after discharge). hiv genotyping was sent and was pending at the time of discharge. the patient has a history of hypertension and was continued on home dose of atenolol 50 mg daily. bp was well controlled despite holding amlodipine/chlorthalidone and these were not restarted on discharge. she did have elevation of her liver function tests on presentation. work up included negative hepatitis serologies and ruq ultrasound (mild fatty infiltration). lfts abnormalities were related to pcp pneumonia, fatty liver, or both. blood afb culture and hcv viral loads are pending and will be followed by her id. she was discharged home without vna, the latter

dressing was applied post operatively with the plan to continue for 3 days. he tolerated his procedure very well with no complications and post operatively he was transferred to the icu for continued care due to confusion. his mental status continued to be altered and he was only following commands intermittently. the hepatology team was consulted for help in treating his hepatic encephalopathy. per recommendations he was started on lactulose and rifaximin. the infectious disease team was consulted post operatively and they felt a more appropriate abx coverage would be vancomycin to treat his infection with gpc and the ancef was discontinued. cultures grew mrsa and he continued on vancomycin. he was started on tube feeds. his mental status slowly improved. he was transferred to step down unit . he was evaluated by speech and swallow and cleared for po diet. his mental status continued to improve and he became more awake and alert and he continued lactulose and rifaximin per hepatology recommendations. his wound was monitored and was noted to be draining small amount serosanginous drainage. this will continue to be monitored. on he was cleared for discharge to rehab. he will cont

encephalopathy and bacteremia who presented from rehab with 1 week of acutely worsening ascietes. his micu course is summarized below. # acute abdomen, high grade small bowel obstruction: likely secondary to cirrhosis; patient denied recent medication changes and had been eating a stable, presumably healthy diet at rehab prior to admission. there was no evidence of sbp on diagnostic paracentesis done in the ed, but it did total protein. the patient underwent a 3l therapeutic paracentesis on . he tolerated the procedure well, but shortly thereafter started complaining of nausea. over the course of 24 hours, the fluid re-accumulated, and he became increasingly nauseated, confused, and somnolent. his nausea was treated with iv onsansetron q8h and iv promethazine without relief, and his pain was treated with iv dilaudid q6h, also without relief. 24 hours after the therapeutic paracentesis, the patient spiked a fever >101, became tachycardic to the 160's, hypotensive to the 110s systolic (baseline is 140s), and so was transferred to the icu and started on iv zosyn to cover for aspiration and bacterial perotinitis secondary to the therapeutic para. pt's nausea persisted as well as constipation refractory to lactulose. ngt drained almost a liter. diagnostic tap was done which was not consistent with sbp. ct scan revealed high grade sbo and signs of small bowel pneumatosis, mesenteric gas, and portal venous gas, consistent with small bowel ischemia and/or necrosis. patient underwent urgent ex-lap. # : volume depletion vs. hepatorenal syndrome vs. post-renal failure. while on the floor, the patient was found to have a urine na<10. we gave 75g albumin infusion, without improvement, and gave a second 100g albumin the next day. the patient was transferred to the icu before we could gauge his response to the second infusion. his lasix and spironolactone were held throughout his admission. a renal ultrasound was obtained the day of icu transfer and showed no hydronephrosis. liver team recommended midodrine and octreotide as hepatorenal was most likely. this was held as patient was taken to the or for ex-lap. # confusion: hepatic encephalopathy vs. underlying infection vs. overmedication from dilaudid. the patient was continued on his home rifaximin dose; his lactulose was increased from qid to q2h when his confusion worsened post therapeutic para. his oxycodone, initially written q3h was spaced out to q6h. blood and urine cultures were drawn and showed... # bacteremia: patient had a recent hospitalization for mrsa bacteremia, and was admitted from rehab with a picc in place for iv vancomycin treatment (last dose is ). a trough was checked on hd#2 and was found to be supratherapeutic at 38. his dose that day was held with the plan to titrate the dose to levels moving forwards. blood and urine cultures were drawn and showed... # hcv cirrhosis: chronic issue. patient was continued on his home folic acid, thiamine and mvi. he was continued on his home dose of rifaximin and had his lactulose uptitrated as described above. his hospital course by systems, after surgical consultation is outlined below. in brief, he was taken emergently to the operating room for an exploratory laparotomy for an acute abdomen on . ct scan demonstrated pneumatosis intestinalis, portal venous gas and a potential bowel obstruction. please refer to dr. operative summary for additional details but in the or, he was found to have scattered intermittent hemorrhagic small bowel that all appeared viable and was not resected. there was no perforation or frankly necrotic bowel. 7l of ascitic fluid was drained. he was transferred to the surgical icu for further management. his initial course was characterized by close monitoring of his abdominal exam to assess need for takeback to the or; he improved gradually but was slow to wean from the vent and on pod 5 had escalating ventilator requirements. he was diagnosed with a pneumonia and his antibiotic coverage was broadened. he gradually improved but required multiple repeat large-volume paracentesis to keep his abdominal distention at a minimum and optimize his respiratory status. he self extubated on pod 11 but did well and remained extubated; he was transferred to the floor on pod 13. unfortunately, he had a gi bleed on pod 17 requiring significant product transfusion, an egd and colonoscopy. a particular source of bleed was not identified but he did demonstrate a pretty significant coagulopathy which was an on-going issue throughout his hospitalization as his liver function continued to worsen. he was transfused ffp and cryoprecipitate multiple times daily to support his coagulation parameters and receiving near daily paracentesis until, in the light of a worsening clinical situation and worsening lfts that both the hepatology team and transplant surgery team did not believe would improve without liver transplantation (for which he did not, unfortunately, qualify as a candidate) a family meeting was convened to discuss goals of care on . mr. was clear in mental status and was able to participate in the meeting. he expressed clear wishes that he did not wish to receive care if he did not have a changes to recover. he was made dnr/dni and one day later, made comfort measures only, with only a dilaudid gtt and ivf left running with intermittent pain meds and haldol for breakthrough pain/agitation. his pain regimen was optimized and he appeared comfortable on , and he was transferred to the floor that day. on he qualified for inpatient hospice care, and on the advice of his hospice team, his medications were gradually titrated up over then next few days to keep him comfortable. finally, during the afternoon of , he was noted to have shallow and irregular respirations, and he ceased breathing entirely shortly thereafter. he was pronounced dead at 14:10. his family was notified. neuro: he was intubated and sedated post-op until when he self-extubated. post-extubation, his mental status waxed and waned, with encephalopathic confusion interchanged with brief but real moments of clarity. he was treated with propofol, fentanyl and versed initially and these were weaned with a preference to fentanyl to minimize the cardiovascular effects of propofol and the liver clearance associated with benzodiazepines. he was alert after his second surgical icu stay and took part in the discussions to withdraw aggressive care in favor of comfort measures only. cv: he was initially on multiple vasopressors post-operatively but these were weaned relatively quickly. he remained hemodynamically stable in the large part and this was not an active issue. respiratory: he remained intubated post-operatively with the potential to take him back to the or and in light of the fluid and product resuscitation he received in and out of the or. his respiratory status was improving with plans to extubate but worsened acutely on pod 5 and he was believed to potentially have an aspiration event despite the ett. he was noted to have a worsening rll consolidation on cxr and was started on broad spectrum antibiotics -- meropenem to treat a multidrug resistant klebsiella pneumonia (see id section for more details). gastrointestinal: he was initially improving post-operatively but by pod 5 had a recurrently distended abdomen. kub demonstrated ileus but repeat imaging with bedside ultrasound demonstrated worsening ascities; he was ultimately tapped on pod 9 and thereafter received frequent large-volume paracentesis through his hospitalization. unfortunately his liver function enzymes continued to worsen and he was not a transplant candidate due to his prior history. he was briefly transferred to the floor on , relatively stable. he returned to the sicu on with an ugi bleed (hematemesis on the floor, transferred to the intensive care until febrile with a total of 8u prbc, 5u ffp, and 1u platelets. colonoscopy and egd did not demonstrate an obvious source. his hct eventually normalized with correction of his coagulopathy (his fibrinogen level was noted to be in the 60s). however, he required frequent repeated cryoprecipitate and ffp transfusions to maintain his fibrinogen level and inr in acceptable ranges (as was being done initially in his hospitalization). he was hemodynamically stable in the latter days of his hospitalization but his coagulation parameters continued to worsen without product transfusion. nutrition: he was npo initially, then transitioned to tube feeds and ultimately these were dc'd after fear of aspiration (worsening vent requirements on pod 5) in favor of tpn. he was ultimately transitioned back to tube feeds and after extubation tolerated a regular diet while he was on the floor. gu: he was in acute renal injury on admission and initially post-operatively. he recovered to a normal cr which then worsened again on his repeat admission to the icu. id: he was initially on vanc/zosyn, this was transitioned to vanc//micafungin. he was on the vancomycin for gpcs in his blood cultures (believed to potentially be from a spinal source as he was treated for this in the past). the vancomycin was to continue indefinitely until reimaging of his spine. his meropenem and micafungin were in relation to his pneumonia treatment and were scheduled to stop after a full two week course to end on . these were dc'd at that time, which also happened to coincide with the family meeting and the decision to transition him to comfort measures only -- at which point all antibiotics were dc'd. medications on admission: amlodipine 5 mg po daily hold for sbp <100 fluticasone propionate nasal 2 spry nu daily folic acid 1 mg po daily

allergies: sulfa (sulfonamide antibiotics) attending: chief complaint: delirium major surgical or invasive procedure: removal of left tibial hardware left tibial washout with wound vac placement history of present illness: history limited by patient's decreased mental status, with collateral obtained from orthopedic floor team and chart. this is a 42 yo male with a history of dm, osa, seizure disorder, bipolar disorder who was admitted to orthopedics on for removal of external fixator and orif of his left tibial plateau fracture. this am (pod #2), he was found to be somnolent and oriented times one, from a baseline of full orientation. his chem 7 revealed an am glucose of 28, with fs of 44. he was given juice with added sugar, briefly increased to 97, but then fs decreased to 41. he then received amp of d50 and repeat fingerstick was 98. merit was called for medicine consultation given hypoglycemia and altered mental status, in addition to new renal failure in the setting of oliguria. at the time of merit resident assessment, the patient was somnolent and would arouse to voice, able to state his name and that he was in a hospital, date was "friday," but would fall asleep quickly. he was noted to have occasional jerks of his extremities suggestive of asterixis. also, he was on 4l of o2 by nc given hypoxia to 88% on ra, which is new. his most recent vs were: 100/48 90 18 95%,3l. an abg was obtained and only showed mild co2 retention. the micu resident was notified of his issues and it was agreed to transfer to the icu for closer monitoring. regarding his recent hospitalization, he was admitted to from after a motorcycle accident and underwent external fixation of a left tibial plateau fracture, left proximal fibula fracture, with fasciotomies for compartment syndrome on the left lower extremity. this was notable for development of post-op agitated delirium, which was comanaged with psychiatry. upon arrival to the icu, the patient was minimally responsive and quite sleepy, however was following commands. past medical history: htn dm seizure disorder ptsd and bipolar disorder osa, reportedly noncompliant with cpap in hospital social history: denies etoh

dm, and osa originally admitted to orthopedics for hardware removal who was transferred to the micu for hypoglycemia and delerium. when sugars and metal status had improved, he was tranfered to the medical floor. . # left tibial fracture s/p orif: initially admitted to the hospital from rehab for removal of external fixator on . postoperative pain was managed with tylenol atc and low dose oxycodone prn. he went back to the or for a washout on . pt saw patient and recommended home with home pt. . #. altered mental status: likely multifactorial including hypoglycemia, infection, and medication build up from arf causing decreased elimination. notably, seroquel, ativan, lithium, duloxetine, dilaudid, and gabapentin build up in setting of arf. psych was consulted who recommended putting patient on a bzd taper, which he finished on the day of discharge. he was also started on haloperidol 5mg tid. over, time, the patient's delirium improved, and haloperidol was d/c prior to discharge. his qtc was monitored while on haloperidol and did not prolong. he was found to have a urinary tract infection (see below). #. hypoglycemia: patient transferred to micu in setting of ams with hypoglycemia in 40s. etiology of hypoglycemia likely caused by medication error as patient was started on glyburide 10mg following surgery. furthermore, clearance of glyburide was reduced given acute kidney injury (see below). hypoglycemia was corrected with d10 and d5 gtt which were weaned off once blood sugar had normalized, and patient was called out to the medical floor. he was maintained on sliding scale humalog on the floor and will be discharged home with his outpatient dose of metformin. . # uti: urine culture from grew pseudomonas. patient was initially treated with zosyn, and when the organism was found to be fairly pan-sensitive, he was switched to po ciprofloxacin to complete a 14 day course for a complicated uti as patient had a foley in the micu which was d/c upon transfer to the floor. . # low grade fever, leukocytosis: improved with initiation of treatment for uti, but source was unclear initially. lateral leg incision was draining serosanguinous fluid, and orthopedics took pt back to or for a washout . he was put on ancef initially then switched to vanco for gram (+) coverage. wound gram stain showed pmns but no organisms, and cultures were negative. per ortho recs, pt will be d/c with a 2 week course of keflex. . #. acute renal failure: oliguric on admission. fena 0.2% that was consistent with pre-renal etiology and resolved with fluids. his home enalapril was initially held but re-started when arf resolved. pt was prophylaxed with sq heparin initially, then switched back to lovenox when arf resolved. he should continue lovenox as an outpatient as laid out by ortho. . #. hypoxia: on admission to micu, abg c/w hypercapnia likely hypoventilation given patient's ams. resolved with resolution of delirium. . # anemia: hct down to low 20's from baseline of high 20's. had 700 cc of ebl in or, anemia most likely from or blood loss. received 2units rbc's and hct bumped appropriately and was stable throughout the rest of the admission . #. bipolar disorder/ptsd: initially held home seroquel, clonazepam, ativan, trazodone, duloxetine, lithium in setting of arf and ams. slowly restarted meds and renal doses which were changed back to home doses once renal function returns. however, pt was tapered of bzds as noted above and will be discharged without any lorezapam or clonazepam. . #. osa: reportedly noncompliant with cpap in micu, but did not showing evidence of apnea on monitor. however, on the medical floor, pt was using his cpap and tolerating it well. . #. seizure disorder: held gabapentin/bzds in setting of arf and slowly restarted and titrated back to home dose when arf resolved. . #. htn: given low dose of diltiazem, in preparation for discharge, dilz was d/c and enalapril was increased to 20mg daily. pt will follow up with pcp upon /c. . #. hyperlipidemia: held gemfibrozil in setting of arf and elevated ck. continued pravastatin upon discharge. medications on admission: home medications 1.

could remove the hardware from your left leg. your blood sugar got low, so you were transfered to the medical intensive care unit (micu). you were also confused in the micu. when your sugars were stable, you came to the regular medical floor. the surgeons took you back to the or to clean the operation site. you were started on antibiotics for a urinary tract infection. you should continue to take ciprofloxacin for 7 more days to finish your course. . we made the following changes to your medications: - please stop taking ativan (lorezapam) and klonapin (clonazepam). the psychiatrists thought these medicines contributed to your confusion. - please stop taking glyburide. we think this is responsible for your low sugars. - please start taking ciprofloxacin 500mg twice a day for the next 7 days. - please start taking keflex (cephalexin) 500mg twice a day - please stop taking diltiazem. - please increase your enalapril to 20mg daily - you may take tylenol (acetaminophen) 1000mg every 6 hours for pain. you may take 5mg of oxycodone every 4 hours for pain not relieved by tylenol. we have given you a small supply of pain medicine. you should discuss the amount of pain you are having when you see your primary care doctor later this week. - while on the oxycodone, please take docusate and senna regularly to prevent constipation. stop taking these medications if you have loose stools or more than 2 bowel movements in one day. - please continue taking enoxaparin injections twice a day for at least 2 more weeks. you should discuss the need for this medication when you see the orthopedic surgeons. followup instructions: you should call your psychiatrist to make an appointment. . name: thavaseelan, s. location: internists address: , , , phone: appointment: thursday

acute on chronic systolic congestive heart failure: there was likely a large contribution from tricuspid regurgitation. on admission, patient noted to have 15-20 lb weight gain and significantly elevated jvp. the precipitating event was unclear, but possibly related to recent medication changes. he was started on a dopamine gtt and lasix gtt with good response in terms of blood pressure and urine output. he diuresed ~1 l daily for 4 days, after which lasix drip was slowly weaned and outpatient diuretic-torsemide-was restarted. dopamine drip was also weaned, and blood pressure fell back to baseline sbp 80s. he was stabilized on a regimen of torsemide 50 mg in the morning and 25 mg in the evening. he will need electrolyte and creatinine follow-up by his pcp. addition, his digoxin dose was increased to .0625 mg daily, and aminophylline (theophylline) was started. he will need levels checked on both of these medications at his visit on . . # atrial fibrillation: patient was anticoagulated on admission for a history of atrial fibrillation. he remained in av paced rhythm and anticoagulated throughout his stay. inr on discharge was 2.3. inr follow-up will be with visiting nurse. . # acute on chronic renal failure: creatinine on admission was elevated from baseline 1.5-2.0 to 3.1. this was most likely prerenal in the setting of poor forward flow from heart failure. creatinine improved to baseline with diuresis. creatinine on discharge was 2.0. . # hematuria: patient was noted to have clots in his foley catheter that were unable to be manually irrigated. a triple lumen 22-french catheter was placed, and continuous bladder irrigation was started, with resolution of clots. urology was consulted and recommended work-up of hematuria to include abdominal ct, urine cytology, and outpatient follow-up for cystoscopy. ct did not show any stone or other clear inciting abnormality. an appointment was made with urology for outpatient follow-up of the cytology and possible cystoscopy. # hypothyroid: the patient was found to be hypothyroid with tsh 6.9. this was likely attributable to amiodarone treatment. low dose levothyroxine (25 mcg daily) was started. he will need tsh checked again in 6 weeks by his pcp. . #

balloon. the final balloon-occlusion cholangiogram showed no additional filling defect. otherwise normal ercp to third part of the duodenum. brief hospital course: pt was admitted to micu in anticipation of ercp. went directly to ercp shortly following transfer. ercp was successful and unevently with balloon dilatation, spincterotomy and removal of two stones. balloon was removed. post procedure patient was well. needs to be monitored for further complications include bleeding and post ercp pancreatitis, but none were evident at time of transfer. pt was ready for discharge and getting set up for the ambulance transfer on in the evening but had difficulty with the transport ventilator, despite same settings. he started to develop non purposeful repetetive facial movements and pt was unable to communicate. symptoms did not improve with morphine or ativan, which were given due to concern of agitation/pain or possibly seizure like activity. neurology was consulted who felt symptoms were unlikely to be related to seizure, and more likley to be related to his als and resultant of a positive feed back loop activating his facial muscles. and that patient was unable to break feed back loop due to lack of strength. in the am, follow up labs showed improvement of lfts, mildly elevated amylase/lipase were thought to be related to ercp. repetetive movements were resolved, pt was back to baseline mental status, smiling and responding appropriately to yes/no questions. he continued to have few fasiculations of the face as is his basline. he also has a stable anemia post cholecystectomy. pt was otherwise continued on levofloxacin and flagyl to be completed for 14 day course for treatment of cholangitis with no changes made to medications. pt was maintained

(injection) otherwise normal egd to third part of the duodenum brief hospital course: the patient with acute cholecystitis vs. gb malignancy was admitted to the general surgical service for elective open cholecystectomy. on , the patient underwent open cholecystectomy with shaved liver margin, which went well without complication (reader referred to the operative note for details). patient's foley was discontinued post op, he wasn't able to void and was straight cath in the pacu. the patient arrived on the floor on clears, on iv fluids and antibiotics, and dilaudid pca for pain control. the patient was hemodynamically stable. neuro: the patient received dilaudid pca with good effect and adequate pain control. when tolerating oral intake, the patient was transitioned to oral pain medications. cv: the patient has a history of cad, s/p cabg . immediately post op he was started on telemetry for continuous o2 sats monitoring. on pod # 2, patient was noticed to have irregular rate and rhythm, patient was asymptomatic. ekg was obtained and revealed a-fib. cardiology was consulted and their recommendations were followed. the patient spontaneously returned back to rrr within in hour after onset of a-fib. cardiac enzymes were cycled and were negative. he received 20 mg iv lasix for small left pulmonary effusion with good response. patient again went into a-fib while undergoing ercp. cardiology was consulted again and they recommended no echo as an inpatient. they recommended a regimen of toprol xl 75mg , continue with full dose aspirin, and follow up with his outpatient cardiologist to discuss the possibility of long-term anticoagulation. on pod#10, the patient experienced shoulder and jaw pain. ecg and cardiac enzymes were negative for cardiac ischemia and the pain was not relieved by morphine or nitroglycerin. the pain resolved over the course of the early morning. the patient remained stable from a cardiovascular standpoint; he remained on telemetry for cardiac monitoring. pulmonary: the patient was required supplemental o2 post op, and his o2 sats were monitored with continuous pulse sats. on pod# 1, patient started to wean off supplemental o2. he wasn't able to take a deep breath secondary to post op pain. chest x-ray was obtained and demonstrated left atelectasis and small effusion. patient received 20 mg lasix and his respiratory quality improved. he periodically required supplemental o2 prior to discharge; 1 l in rest and 3l via n/c during ambulation. pulmonology was consulted and their recommendations were followed. the patient was able to be weaned off of oxygen, with sats above 93% on room air on ambulation and at rest. gi: post-operatively, the patient was made npo with iv fluids. diet was advanced when appropriate, which was well tolerated. patient's intake and output were closely monitored, and iv fluid was adjusted when necessary. electrolytes were routinely followed, and repleted when necessary. an elevated wbc on pod#7 prompted a ct scan of the torso, which revealed a subcapsular fluid collection, at which point he was taken to interventional radiology and the fluid collection was drained. two drains were placed in the fluid collection, one in the subcapsular space and another in the gall bladder fossa. the drained fluid appeared billous and was sent for gram stain and culture, which were negative. ercp revealed a leak at the cystic duct stump. a biliary stent was successfully placed, and a sphincterotomy was performed. on pod #12, patient reported that he had melena, subsequent workup revealed guaic-positive stool and a hct of 19.7. this hct was confirmed, and patient was transfused with 2 units of prbc. patient was taken by ercp for an upper endoscopy, to evaluate for potential sources of bleeding. a large clot at the site of his sphincterotomy was seen on ercp, but no active bleeding was appreciated. his post-transfusion appropriately responded to 26.4. he was transferred to the icu as a precautionary measure. he remained stable and subsequently returned to the floor on pod #13. on the morning of pod #14, he was discovered to have a hct of 21.3 from 25.3 the previous day. the patient's vitals remained stable, and he was asymptomatic yet again. the patient was transfused with 2 units of prbc. follow-up hct following the transfusion revealed an appropriate response to the 2 unit transfusion, with a hct of 28.8. he will follow-up to have his hct monitored by his pcp, . , as an outpatient, and will follow-up with dr. as an outpatient on . gu: patient s/p prostatectomy and history of urinary retention post cabg. foley catheter was removed on pod # 0, patient failed to void and bladder scan revealed > 800 cc of urine. the patient was straight catheterized and started on flomax, he failed second trial and foley catheter was replaced on pod # 1. the foley was removed on pod # 2 and patient subsequently voided this time. upon admission to the icu, the patient had a foley placed. this was subsequently removed the following morning, and the patient successfully voided x2. id: the patient's white blood count and fever curves were closely watched for signs of infection. wound looked c/d/i and was not erythematous or tender throughout the hospital stay. he will go home on a 5-day course of augmentin as prophylaxis following endoscopy/ercp. endocrine: no issues hematology: the patient's complete blood count was examined routinely. the patient received 2 units of prbc for hct of 19.7 on pod #12 (please refer to "gi" above). the patient received another 2 units of prbc for hct of 21.3 on pod#14 (please refer to "gi" above). prophylaxis: the patient received subcutaneous heparin and venodyne boots were used during this stay, however the subcutaneous heparin was held starting pod #12 due to his decreased hematocrit and bleed from the sphincterotomy site; was encouraged to get up and ambulate as early as possible. at the time of discharge, the patient was doing well, afebrile with stable vital signs. the patient was tolerating a regular diet, ambulating, voiding without assistance, and pain was well controlled. the patient received discharge teaching and follow-up instructions with understanding verbalized and agreement with the discharge plan. medications on admission: albuterol sulfate - 90 mcg

torso of and abdomen radiograph of . <br> technique: contiguous axial images from the mid chest through the abdomen were obtained without iv contrast. coronal and sagittal reformatted images were generated. <br> preliminary report: gastrostomy tube terminates in the esophagus, repositioning is recommended. filling defect in the mid esophagus. bilateral pleural effusions, right greater than left. small right lung base consolidation. large bilateral renal cysts. . <br> ct abdomen without iv contrast: there is a moderate right pleural effusion and small left pleural effusion, simple in attenuation. there is adjacent atelectasis and/or consolidation within a portion of the posterior right lung base. there is a small pericardial effusion. all effusions are increased since . there are coarse coronary artery calcifications, particularly involving the lad. <br> in the epigastric region, a percutaneous gastrostomy has been placed into the gastric antrum. the tube courses cephalad through the body of the stomach, through the gastroesophageal junction, and with the tip into the lowermost esophagus. oral contrast has been administered via the gastrostomy tube, which opacifies the lower esophagus. within the lumen of the uppermost imaged esophagus (at the level of the carina), there is a round soft tissue attenuation structure with air, which may represent retained food. small amounts of oral contrast are seen within the gastric lumen. <br> the non-contrast appearance of the liver is unremarkable except for the occasional calcified granuloma. minimal high-density material is seen dependently within the gallbladder, possibly representing layering stones. multiple calcified granulomas are seen in the spleen. a splenule is noted. the non-contrast appearance of the pancreas is unremarkable. the adrenal glands are minimally bulky, without a focal mass lesion, unchanged. there is no hydronephrosis of the kidneys. bilateral renal cysts are noted, which are unchanged in appearance. the previously described hyperenhancing focus in the lower pole of the right kidney is not apparent on non-contrast imaging. <br> the abdominal aorta is normal in caliber, with moderately-severe atherosclerotic calcification, particularly involving the origin of the sma. <br> the patient is post-right hemicolectomy. oral contrast opacifies the remaining portion of the colon, or several diverticula are seen. visualized small bowel loops also contains some oral contrast, but are otherwise unremarkable. there is no free air in the abdomen. there is no free fluid. small retroperitoneal nodes are seen adjacent to the ivc measuring up to about 7 cm size (2:36). these are not markedly changed from the prior examination. <br> no concerning osseous lesions are seen. <br> impression: 1. the gastrostomy tube has been placed percutaneously into the gastric antrum, but the tube is oriented cephalad, with the tip in the lowermost esophagus. oral contrast is seen within the lower half of the esophagus, and a rounded structure within the lumen of the mid esophagus at the level of the carina likely represents retained food. 2. increased size of bilateral pleural effusions, right greater than left, and there is a small pericardial effusion. 3. diffuse atherosclerotic disease as described. findings reviewed with the gi fellow on . the study and the report were reviewed by the staff radiologist. dr. dr. approved: tue 2:44 am <br> <br> <b>egd from admission:<b/> findings: esophagus: normal esophagus. stomach: mucosa: atrophy of the mucosa was noted in the antrum. duodenum: protruding lesions there was a question of a small sub-mucosal mass of benign appearance at the duodenal bulb. excavated lesions a few ulcers were found in the duodenal bulb as well as duodenitis. these were considered low risk for bleeding. other procedures: as ulcers and duodenitis were considered low risk, decision was made to proceed with peg placement. a 20fr percutaneous gastrostomy tube (peg) was placed successfully using standard techniques at the stomach body. <br> impression: atrophy in the antrum low risk ulcers and duodenitis in the duodenal bulb successful peg placement (peg) question of small submucosal mass in duodenal bulb. otherwise normal egd to third part of the duodenum recommendations: high dose protonix 40 mg twice a day please check h. pylori serology and treat if positive no further intervention for now for question of submucosal mass unless symptomatic or further bleeding. use tube for essential meds if needed tonight. can start tube feeding tomorrow. duodenitis and ulcer may have accounted for slow hct decline. <br> brief hospital course: mr. is a 85 year old man with a history of alzheimer's, diverticulosis, recently diagnosed colon ca, status post hemicolectomy on presented with dark stools and acute blood loss anemia and malnutrition from the . in the , ng lavage was negative by report. he was initially admitted to the medical icu, and given 2 units of prbcs. he was hemodynamically stable and underwent egd, revealing: "atrophy in the antrum, low risk ulcers and duodenitis in the duodenal bulb, successful peg placement (peg), question of small submucosal mass in duodenal bulb, otherwise normal egd to third part of the duodenum." it was felt these ulcers were likely accounting for the blood loss and occult blood positive stools. h. pylori ab was positive and he was started on antimicrobial therapy as well as twice daily ppi treatment. <br> mr. was called out of the unit to the general medical floor. once on the general medical floor, he had trouble tolerating his tfs initially with emesis and nausea. ct scan revealed the g tube curled up proximally into the esophagus. the gi fellow pulled the tube back and abdominal x-ray showed it no longer in the esophagus. tfs were resumed and the patient had no difficuties thereafter. <br> alzheimer's dementia and depression: pt oriented to self, but not place or time. he was continued on namenda and aricept per home regimen. he was continued on his mirtazapine and his tsh was normal. <br> submucosal mass seen on egd: unclear if this requires follow-up. see egd report attached. <br> remaining open surgical wound: minimal opening, excellent granulation tissue, no evidence for infection, appears to be healing well. continue conservative care as directed. <br> mucinous adenocarcinoma with 1/3 positive lymph nodes, adenopathy seen on ct scan: consider outpatient follow up with gi oncology if patient/family desire. i personally discussed the above findings and recommendations with the patient's hcp and son and his questions were answered to his apparent satisfaction. <br> during the patient's admission, he was a full code. you may consider readdressing this in the future. <br> please note, the patient may have some dark stools given his recent gi bleed, but this should resolve over time. you may consider checking a hct if you are concerned that he is bleeding again, though the suspicion that his duodenal ulcers will bleed any more is small as he is on treatment for h. pylori and a high dose ppi. medications on admission:

.........................imaging................... echo the left atrium is moderately dilated. left ventricular wall thickness, cavity size and regional/global systolic function are normal (lvef >55%). there is no ventricular septal defect. the right ventricular cavity is mildly dilated with borderline normal free wall function. the aortic root is mildly dilated at the sinus level. the ascending aorta is mildly dilated. the aortic arch is mildly dilated. the aortic valve leaflets (3) are mildly thickened but aortic stenosis is not present. no aortic regurgitation is seen. the mitral valve leaflets are mildly thickened. mild (1+) mitral regurgitation is seen. the tricuspid valve leaflets are mildly thickened. there is moderate pulmonary artery systolic hypertension. there is an anterior space which most likely represents a prominent fat pad. impression: normal global and regional left ventricular systolic function. borderline dilated and hypokinetic rv. mild mitral regurgitation. moderate pulmonary artery systolic hypertension. ct chest here is no evidence of pulmonary embolism. small bilateral pleural effusionsand associated bibasilar atelectasis are new. bronchiectasis and bronchialwall thickening involving the anterior segment of the right upper lobe (2:28)is unchanged since . allowing for the limitation of significant respiratory motion artifact, multiple poorly defined nodules in the left upper lobe: a 5-mm perifissural nodule (2:17) in the apical posterior segment, and two other ground-glass opacities in the anterior segment of the left upper lobe measure 5 mm each (2:18 and 20). a 3-mm noncalcified left apical posterior segment nodule on act of is now calcified (2, 19), suggesting that it is a granuloma. a 5-mm noncalcified superior segment of right lower lobe nodule is stable since (2:25). extensive adenopathy in the superior mediastinum, bilateral axillae, anterior mediastinum, tracheobronchial stations and the para-aortic space are again present: the largest right hilar node measures 18 x 26 mm compared to 13 x 21 mm on the prior study (3:46). confluent prevascular adenopathy has also increased in size and number (3:31). conversely enlarged axillary and periaortic lymph nodes have decreased in size: a right axillary node measures 20 x 24 mm (2:20) compared to 22 x 32 mm on the prior study, the largest paraaortic posterior mediastinal node now measures 41 x 42 mm compared to 41 x 45 mm on the prior study (2:45). a left upper extremity peripherally inserted central venous catheter tip terminates in the distal left brachiocephalic vein. the cardiac size is normal without pericardial effusion. the airways are patent to the subsegmental level. the proximal esophagus is mildly dilated and contains food debris, possibly a mechanical effect of the extensive posterior mediastinal adenopathy. the study is not tailored for subdiaphragmatic evaluation, only to confirm extensive para-aortic and retroperitoneal soft tissue masses which are incompletely visualized and stable perinephiric fat stranding. upper and lower thoracic spine osteophytosis are moderately severe. impression: 1. no evidence of pulmonary embolism. 2. new small bilateral pleural effusions with associated atelectasis. 3. mixed interval change in size of extensive axillary, hilar, superior and posterior mediastinal adenopathy. there is enlargement of the mediastinal and hilar adenopathy with slight interval reduction or stability of the axillary and posterior mediastinal masses. 4. three new left upper lobe poorly defined nodules, in the setting of recent surgery could represent aspiration or infection. 5. stable mild right middle lobe bronchiectasis and bronchial wall thickening. brief hospital course: assessment & plan: a 69 yom with pmh paroxsymal afib, cll, parkinson's disease, chronic sinusitis and mrsa pneumonia admitted for pseudomonas sinusitis and called out of micu after 4 day stay for afib with rvr. #. sinusitis: on admission, was febrile to 103, most likely source was sinuses given recent debridment. blood cultures and urine cultures were negtaive. he was empirically treated with cefipime while pseudomonas cultures were speciated. culture data showed sensitivity to cipro and cefipime, however patient is allergic to fluroquinolones. he was treated with cefipime and vancomycin, given history of mrsa sinusitis. ent followed the patient in house and performed repeated debridments of sinuses. he was discharged with a picc line and a plan for outpatient iv cefipime and vancomycin to complete a total of 14 days of antibiotic therapy. followup with ent and pcp was arranged. #: micu course: on hd 4, he developed a fib with rvr and hypotension to sbp 70, he was transfered to the micu where he was treated with fluid resussication and rate controlled with amiodarone and digoxin, he converted to sinus rhythm and both were discontinued and metoprolol 12.5mg was started. cta chest was performed which was negative for pe, echo showed borderline hypokenetic rv and normal lv systolic function. moderate pulmonary artery systolic hypertension was noted. # afib: following transfer from micu, patient remained in sinus rhythm and was continued on metoprolol 12.5 mg tid. # cll: patient has not been treated since as there have been no acute indications to do so. he is followed by dr. as outpt. on admission his neutrophil count was 790 and he received one dose of neuopgen to correct this. he was given an appointment for follow up with dr. on discharge. #

fever, now transferred to the micu due to tachypnea. he presented with fever, cough, and fatigue in the setting of undergoing bowel prep for colonoscopy (for workup of chronic diarrhea). of note he had a recent mrsa pna and pseudomonas sinus infection (as well a thrush and intertiginous ) and had been on vanc and cefepime. cxr in the ed was concerning for an opacity. he was cultured and started on vanc, cefepime, and ivf for possible pna. . on the floor he was continued on vanc and cefepime (since ). she was started on oseltamivir on on the floor due to concern for flu (he was uptodate with his flu shot). he has had some issues with a.fib with rvr during this hospitalization and his home metoprolol was changed to diltiazem and uptitrated. azithromycin was started on due to concern for atypical pna. id was consulted and recommended starting gentamicin if he worsened (which was started early prior to transfer). ivig was recommended, but not given due to concern for administration during fevers. . the afternoon and evening prior to transfer he was noted to be tahypneic to the 30's on a high flow shovel mask. an abg was 7.49/34/63 on 3.5 l. he was using an acapella valve to help clear secretions. nightfloat was called to see him due to worsening tachypnea in the 40's and initiated transfer to the micu. . currently he denies pain. he feels like his breathing is getting worse

malignant cells. brief hospital course: initial differential for his tachypnea and hypoxia included worsening pna, pe, or acute chf. patient was intubated emergently on arrival to micu for respiratory distress. microbiology studies were as above; sputum grew pseudomonas and aspergillus. id was consulted for antimicrobial management; the patient was treated with vancomycin, meropenem, and voriconazole. his respiratory status continued to worsen, and he required increasing levels of ventilatory support. ip was consulted for possible u/s guided thoracentesis of left pleural effusion but were unable to locate a big enough pocket of fluid. blood pressures were initially stable but the patient eventually developed likely septic shock, and became vasopressor dependent. he was not given his rate control agents for atrial fibrillation, given his hypotension. his renal function worsened acutely the day after transfer to the micu, and bun/creatinine continued to worsen through the rest of his hospitalization. his cll was evident with leukocytosis beyond his baseline wbc levels. his hypogammaglobulinemia was demonstrated with low igg, igm, and iga levels. ivig was considered, but ultimately not given in his state of acute critical illness and fevers. he was also continued on his chronic parkinson's medications. the patient's family had been kept aware of his worsening condition. on , after further discussions with the family, the decision was made to transition the patient's care to comfort measures only. his vasopressors were stopped, and he passed away with his family at his side, several hours thereafter. medications on admission: alprazolam 0.75mg qhs amitriptyline 25mg qhs carbidopa-levodopa 25mg-100mg 2 tabs 7am, 1.5 tabs 10:30am, 1 tab 2pm, 1 tab 5:30pm

admitted to the on for surgical management of his coronary artery disease. he was worked-up in the usual preoperative manner including a carotid ultrasound which showed mild heterogeneous plaque in the right internal carotid artery with less than 40% stenosis and significant heterogeneous plaque in the left internal carotid artery with 70-79% stenosis. plavix was allowed to washout of his system. the sleep service was consulted regarding his sleep apnea and cpap was recommended. on , mr. was taken to the operating room where he underwent coronary artery bypass grafting to four vessels with ligation of his left atrial appendage. please see dr operative note for further details. postoperatively he was taken to the intensive care unit for monitoring. he remained on pressors and intubated overnight. pressors were slowly weaned over the next few days. he remained intubated for a prolonged postoperative period due to hemodynamic instability as well as thick secretions impairing his ventilation/oxygenation status. by pod#7 mr. was weaned off all pressors and inotropes. he was treated with antibiotics for positive staph sputum culture and he was aggressively diuresed to optimize his potential for extubation. pod#13 ventilator weaning continued until an episode of flash pulmonary edema which required increased ventilatory support. during this postoperative period mr. was slow to wake up from sedation. his mental status improved enough, along with hemodynamic and ventilatory stability that he was successfully extubated. all lines and drains were removed in a timely fashion. over the next several days mr. remained in the cvicu due to his state of confusion, refusing medications and nutrition, requiring haldol and need for pulmonary management. sleep consult was called and cpap was initiated for obstructive sleep apnea. full anticoagulation was attained with coumadin for his rate controlled, chronic atrial fibrillation. beta-blocker, digoxin, aspirin and statin were initiated once blood pressure and heart rate would tolerate. nutrition was consulted due to poor intake and aspiration risk. speech and swallow evaluated oral and pharyngeal dysphagia with recommendations for nectar thickened/ground solid advancement of po intake and tube feeds over night. wound care was also consulted for skin impairments and heel ulcerations. by pod# 24 mr. continued to progress and was transferrd to the step down unit for further monitoring. the remainder of his postoperative course was slow but steady. given his flucuating waxing and mental status with visual hallucinations and agitation, the psychiatry service was consulted prior to discharge. eeg ruled out epileptiform activity and head ct scan showed no evidence of acute infarct. the head ct scan did reveal a chronic left basal ganglia lacunar infarct. given his delirium, it was recommended to continue haldol twice daily and prn, optimize non-psychopharm measures(frequent reorientation, emphasize sleep wake cycle, dimming lights at night) and minimize benozodiazepines, opiates and anti-cholinergics. a u/a was also check which was positive and the patient was started on bactrim. by pod# 35 he continued to progress and he was cleared for discharge to rehab for further increase in strength, endurance and conditioning. all follow up appointments were advised medications on admission: lasix 40

(cannulation) biliary stricture was noted in the lower third of the cbd, otherwise normal biliary tree. a biliary stent was placed. . non-contrast chest ct findings: moderate right and small left pleural effusions, both of which measure simple fluid in attenuation. they appear to layer dependently, with no evidence for loculation based on morphology. there is no pneumothorax. in the right lung, there is dense consolidation of the lower and middle lobe, with complete opacification of the lung parenchyma and multiple air bronchograms. in the right upper lobe, there are additional patchy ground-glass opacities with associated bronchial wall thickening. similar patchy ground-glass opacities are seen throughout the left lung, most prominent in the lower lobe and lingula, with relative sparing of the left upper lobe. there is again bronchial wall thickening. superimposed interstitial thickening suggests a component of volume overload. there are no definite nodules or masses, although evaluation for small lesions is limited given the underlying consolidation and low volumes. impression: 1. moderate right and small left pleural effusions, simple fluid attenuation. 2. dense opacification of the right lower and middle lobes, with air bronchograms. additional patchy opacities throughout the right upper lobe, and left lung, predominantly in the lower lobe and lingula, compatible with multifocal pneumonia. there is associated bronchial wall thickening, and narrowing of the right main stem and lower lobe bronchi, as desctibed above. 3. interstitial thickening compatible with volume overload. 4. cardiomegaly. 5. anterior pararenal spacefat stranding, compatible with history of pancreatitis. though evaluation is limited without intravenous contrast, there is also suggestion of pancreatic ductal dilatation in the visualized body and tail of the pancreas. . right upper extremity ultrasound : complete thrombosis of the right cephalic vein, however, no evidence of deep vein thrombosis of the right upper extremity. . non-contrast head ct : findings: there is no acute intracranial hemorrhage, shift of normally midline structures, hydrocephalus, major or minor vascular territorial infarction. the density values of the brain parenchyma are maintained. the sulci are slightly prominent for the stated age. a tiny focal calcification is noted within the pons. the soft tissues and osseous structures are unremarkable. a small mucus retention cyst is noted within the left maxillary sinus. otherwise, the visualized paranasal sinuses and mastoid air cells are clear. dense vascular calcifications are noted of the cavernous portions of the carotid arteries. impression: 1. no acute intracranial hemorrhage or other intracranial process. 2. calcifications involving the cavernous internal carotid arteries. 3. mild cerebral atrophy. 4. focal calcification in the pons of uncertain etiology. . liver/gallbladder us : findings: the liver appears normal in echotexture without focal masses or lesions. there is no intrahepatic biliary ductal dilation. the chd measures 2.4 mm. the cbd, however, contains a stent and is dilated up to 1 cm. the stent extends into the pancreatic duct, which also appears dilated. the pancreatic parenchyma appears unremarkable. there is no abdominal ascites. the spleen appears normal in echotexture measuring 11.5 cm. there is a small amount of pleural fluid. impression: biliary stent in place with a dilated cbd to 1 cm. no intrahepatic biliary ductal dilation. trace pleural fluid, but no ascites. . left upper extremity ultrasound : impressions: the left basilic picc in place. no left upper extremity dvt, nor thrombosis of the left basilic vein seen. brief hospital course: 48m with a history of recurrent alcoholic pancreatitis admitted for ercp with common bile duct stricture, now s/p cbd stent placement. hospital course complicated by icu stay for hypoxic respiratory failure, hospital-acquired pneumonia, alcohol withdrawal, right upper extremity superficial vein thrombus, and altered mental status. . # common bile duct stricture: patient had increasing direct hyperbilirubinemia at outside hospital despite falling ast, alt, and lipase. ercp here revealed a cbd stricture, which was stented. his total bilirubin trended down following this intervention but increased slightly after a trial of clears. abdominal ultrasound showed no stent obstruction. patient was started on ursodiol to treat possible biliary sludge. his bilirubin trended down to 2.2 on discharge, with patient tolerating full diet. he has been instructed to continue taking ursodiol and will have his stent removed by ercp on . . # acute alcoholic pancreatitis: lipase had been improving with iv fluids on the floor, then increased transiently with ercp. his lipase gradually trended down with a slight bump concurrent with his initial trial of clears, thought to be due to biliary sludge or exacerbation of his underlying pancreatitis. at discharge, his lipase had trended down to 220. the patient remained asymptomatic without abdominal pain, nausea, or vomiting. . # hospital-acquired pneumonia: initially, patient was intubated for ercp and remained intubated afterwards for agitation from alcohol withdrawal. however, he subsequently failed extubation due to purulent copious secretions and aspirated. he was initially treated with vancomycin and cefepime. chest imaging was consistent with right-sided pneumonia, possibly with an aspiration component, as well as ipsilateral pleural effusion. sputum cx grew strep pneumo. in this setting, patient developed increased white count from his leukopenic baseline. there was concern for parapneumonic effusion vs. empyema. abx were tailored to vancomycin and ceftriaxone. chest ct showed multifocal pna with right greater than left sided pleural effusions. bedside thoracentesis on the right was done , with drainage of 300 cc serous fluid that was significant for uncomplicated parapneumonic effusions. patient was extubated without any complications and called out to the floor on . vancomycin and ceftriaxone were discontinued on the floor given that the patient had completed a full course for hap and he has improved breathing and pulmonary exam. . # alcohol withdrawal/ alcohol abuse: . pt was increasingly tachycardic, agitated, and tremuluous on the floor, where he was receiving lorazepam by ciwa scale. he was initially maintained in the on a propofol gtt, but was changed to fent/versed which were weaned off for extubation. he received mvi/folate/thiamine. patient was seen by social work during admission and appeared motivated to seek additional inpatient or outpatient rehab. he has been given a list of rehab facilities to call for availability . # altered mental status: pt was confused and sometimes agitated during his icu stay. his altered mental status was thought to be multifactorial, likely icu psychosis and possible hepatic encephalopathy. correctable causes of altered mental status were ruled out with normal b12, tsh, and rpr. a head ct showed no acute intracranial processes. patient was started on lactulose and rifaximin to treat possible hepatic encephlopathy, and patient became increasingly attentive and oriented. he was instructed to continue lactulose (titrated to 3 bm/day) and rifaximin on discharge and will follow up with hepatology. . # hepatitis: pt had persistently elevated lfts as well as hepatomegaly, low albumin, and elevated inr on admission, which were thought to be due in part to alcoholic liver disease in the setting of acute pancreatitis/cbd obstruction. hepatology was consulted on the patient. a diagnostic work-up for other etiologies of hepatitis were negative, including negative hbv and hcv serologies, normal iron studies (transferrin, ferritin, tibc), negative anti-mitochondrial antibody, negative , slightly positive anti-smooth muscle antibody (1:20). alpha1-antitrypsin and ceruloplasmin levels were pending at discharge. his inr trended down with vitamin k. abdominal ultrasound showed normal liver without ascites. he is scheduled for outpatient follow-up with hepatology. . # right upper extremity superficial vein thrombus: patient developed a thrombus in his right cephalic vein in the setting of an indwelling picc. the picc was removed and patient was treated with lovenox for one week. . # tobacco abuse: patient was placed on a nicotine patch during admission and was instructed to continue on discharge. smoking cessation was performed. medications on admission: medications on transfer: mvi/folate/thiamine dilaudid nicotine patch valium ciwa b12 discharge medications: 1. nicotine 14 mg/24 hr patch 24 hr sig: one (1) patch 24 hr transdermal daily (daily). disp:*30 patch 24 hr(s)* refills:*2* 2. lactulose 10 gram/15 ml syrup sig: thirty (30) ml po tid (3 times a day). disp:*2700 ml(s)* refills:*2* 3. multivitamin tablet sig: one (1) tablet po daily (daily). disp:*30 tablet(s)* refills:*2* 4. thiamine hcl 100 mg tablet sig: one (1) tablet po daily (daily). disp:*30 tablet(s)* refills:*2* 5. folic acid 1 mg tablet sig: one (1) tablet po daily (daily). disp:*30 tablet(s)* refills:*2* 6. rifaximin 200 mg tablet sig: two (2) tablet po tid (3 times a day). disp:*180 tablet(s)* refills:*2* 7. ursodiol 250 mg tablet sig: two (2) tablet po bid (2 times a day). disp:*120 tablet(s)* refills:*2* 8. ursodiol 250 mg tablet sig: one (1) tablet po qpm (once a day (in the evening)): in addition to 2 tablets twice a day. disp:*30 tablet(s)* refills:*2* 9. pantoprazole 40 mg tablet, delayed release (e.c.) sig: one (1) tablet, delayed release (e.c.) po once a day. disp:*30 tablet, delayed release (e.c.)(s)* refills:*2* discharge disposition: home discharge diagnosis: primary diagnosis: common bile duct obstruction causing hepatitis alcohol induced pancreatitis hospital acquired pneumonia causing acute respiratory failure catheter associated dvt delirium alcohol withdrawal hepatic encephalopathy tobacco and alcohol abuse discharge condition: mental status:clear and coherent level of consciousness:alert and interactive activity status:ambulatory - independent discharge instructions: you were admitted to for alcohol-induced pancreatitis and obstruction of your bile duct. you had a procedure to place a stent in your bile duct and your pancreatitis improved. you also had alcohol withdrawal and were admitted to the intensive care unit. in the icu, you had pneumonia, which we treated with antibiotics. you also had a blood clot in your right arm, which we treated with blood thinners. you were found to have alcohol-related liver disease with confusion. you were given medications to clear your confusion. . you should abstain from alcohol. you should eat low-fat meals with vitamin supplements. . you should also continue taking your medications for confusion and liver disease as follows ... start lactulose 30mg three times a day (if you develop freq loose stools, cut back your dose to have 3 bowel movements per day) start rifaxamin 400mg three times a day start pantoprazole 40mg once a day start ursodiol 500mg twice a day plus 250mg at night start multivitamin, thiamine, and folic acid daily start nicotine patch - abstain from smoking followup instructions: please keep the following appointments: appointment #1 md: dr. specialty: pcp / time: tuesday, @ 10:30am location: , *** phone number: special instructions for patient: ***patient needs to be aware that dr. moved her office 2 weeks ago to the new address above address above . appointment #2 md: dr. specialty: gi/ ercp date/ time: thursday, @12 noon for procedure, patient needs to be there for 11am arrival location: 4, endoscopy suite phone number: special instructions for patient: . appointment #3 md: dr. specialty: hepatology/liver center date/ time: wednesday, @ 3:20pm location: ,, office medical building , suite 8e phone number: special instructions for patient: Procedure: Venous catheterization, not elsewhere classified Venous catheterization, not elsewhere classified Continuous invasive mechanical ventilation for 96 consecutive hours or more Thoracentesis Endoscopic insertion of stent (tube) into bile duct Diagnoses: Tobacco use disorder Unspecified pleural effusion Alcoholic cirrhosis of liver Asthma, unspecified type, unspecified Acute respiratory failure Pneumonitis due to inhalation of food or vomitus Other complications due to other vascular device, implant, and graft Other ascites Hepatic encephalopathy Chronic pancreatitis Obstruction of bile duct Pneumonia due to Streptococcus, unspecified Acute pancreatitis Cyst and pseudocyst of pancreas Acute alcoholic hepatitis Alcohol withdrawal delirium Other and unspecified manifestations of thiamine deficiency Acute venous embolism and thrombosis of superficial veins of upper extremity

pancreatic mass and overall goals of care - pt has recently been on hospice due to declining status after wife's death several months ago and recnet diagnosis of pancreatic head mass. iv antibiotics and hospital level care are within goals of care for now for reversible new conditions (like cholangitis). hospice can be reinitiated at after iv antibiotics are completed. note: his daughter reports that the pt may have a propensity to pull at lines. if he does pull his picc line out, would recommend a discussion with pt's family to determine best approach to care. overall the focus has been on quality of life and comfort. if his family feels that it would be best in the future not to re-hospitalize and the pt accidentally pulls the picc line out, then could consider a course of oral antibiotics instead. although this is not the recommended course from a purely infectious disease standpoint, it seems a reasonable compromise if his goals of care are consistent with hospice. his e. coli is sensitive to cephalosporins, including 1st generation and 3rd generation. could consider keflex or cefpodoxime in this instance. code: dnr/dni medications on admission: bactrim ss 1 tab daily levemir 10 units sc qhs with insulin sliding scale cipro 250 mg po daily x 7 days mom 30 cc po daily prn constipation levothyroxine 100 mcg po daily namenda 10 mg po bid haldol 1 mg topically q6h and q4h prn visine eye drops discharge medications: 1. bisacodyl 5 mg tablet, delayed release (e.c.) sig: two (2) tablet, delayed release (e.c.) po daily (daily) as needed for constipation. 2. senna 8.6 mg tablet sig: one (1) tablet po bid (2 times a day) as needed for constipation. 3. docusate sodium 50 mg/5 ml liquid sig: one hundred (100) mg po bid (2 times a day) as needed for constipation. 4. memantine 10 mg tablet sig: one (1) tablet po bid (2 times a day). 5. levothyroxine 100 mcg tablet sig: one (1) tablet po daily (daily). 6. acetaminophen 325 mg tablet sig: two (2) tablet po q6h (every 6 hours) as needed for fever. 7. famotidine 20 mg tablet sig: one (1) tablet po bid (2 times a day). 8. ceftriaxone in dextrose,iso-os 1 gram/50 ml piggyback sig: one (1) gram intravenous q24h (every 24 hours) for 10 days: continue until . 9. insulin glargine 100 unit/ml solution sig: ten (10) units subcutaneous at bedtime. 10. insulin sliding scale please see accompanying humalog sliding scale. discharge disposition: extended care facility: health and rehab center discharge diagnosis: ascending cholangitis e. coli bacteremia delirium, metabolic encephalopathy secondary: type 2 diabetes pancreatic mass coronary artery disease s/p cabg hypertension hypothyroidism discharge condition: condition: stable mental status: alert but disoriented, oriented to self only ambulatory status: ambulates with assistance discharge instructions: you were admitted for a biliary tract infection called cholangitis which required treatment with a procedure (ercp) and antibiotics. you were also found to have e. coli bacteria in your bloodstream and are being treated with antibiotics for this. followup instructions: his clinical status should be reassessed in the next 1-2 months and if he is still stable at that point, recommend that a repeat ercp be arranged with gi (dr.

allergies: patient recorded as having no known allergies to drugs attending: chief complaint: fall and left sided inability to move. major surgical or invasive procedure: none history of present illness: 72 y/o male with pmhx significant for colon, prostate and stomach cancer who presents with concerns of a stroke. patient was at in his current state of health this morning talking about an interesting job. he then went upstairs to the bathroom when 5 minutes later his wife heard him fall (~09:30). she then found him on the floor, in the fetal position. when spoken to, he was only able to moan. his wife was concerned about a stroke and contact ems where he was brought to at ~09:50. here he was noted to have a right gaze preference, word finding difficulties and right gaze preference. a head ct was obtained and showed a right pareital stroke as well as 3 old subcortical strokes. cta also showed blockage in the right distal m1 segement. patient did meet time criteria for tpa and was given the bolus of iv tpa, however then the infusion was stopped as the circumstances that the patient had old cortical stroke came out. tpa was stopped because of the potential for intraparenchymal bleeding due to history of stroke in early . of note, during his last admission neurology was consulted for concerns with difficulties with complex spatial tasks and a recent fall. his exam was notable for mild inattention, difficulty with calculations, mildly unsteady tandem gain, left neglect with spatial tasks and signs of apraxia. mri showed bilateral parietal gyriform enhancing lesions of unclear etiology with etiologies ranging from subacute stroke to leptomeningeal metastasis to cerebritis. an lp to rule out infection (wbc 1, rbc 90 with 0 polys, 57 lymphs and 43 monos, protein 67 and glucose 60) and cytology to rule out malignant cells in csf was recommended. asa 325mg daily was also initiated with further stroke evaluation (carotid dopplers mr angiogram) to be completed. past medical history: 1. clinically-localized prostate cancer - s/p xrt + adjuvant hormone therapy 2. stage iiic colon cancer - s/p folfox adjuvant chemo 3. metastatic ampullary

no loss of -white matter differentiation seen. no hemorrhage identified. there is no evidence of dense middle cerebral artery. ct perfusion head: ct perfusion of the head demonstrates a large defect within the right middle cerebral artery territory on mean transit time with a corresponding blood volume abnormality indicative of a large area of evolving infarct. ct angiography head: ct angiography of the head demonstrates complete occlusion of the right middle cerebral artery at the m1 region with subtle distal flow in the sylvian branches. the remaining arteries of anterior and the posterior circulation are patent. impression: 1. ct angiography of the head demonstrates subacute infarct in the right parietal lobe seen on the previous mri of . 2. large perfusion defect in the middle cerebral artery region indicative of an evolving infarct. 3. ct angiography of the head demonstrates near complete occlusion of the right middle cerebral artery at m1 region with minimal distal flow as described above mri/a: there is an acute right middle cerebral artery territorial infarct identified as seen on recent cta examination. the infarct is evolving and involves the basal ganglia as well as the parietal and frontal and temporal cortices. there is no evidence of hemorrhage seen in this region. there are linear areas of susceptibility abnormalities identified in the right parietal cortex at the site of previously seen infarct on the mri of . in addition, signal abnormalities are seen in the left parietal lobe and also along the medial aspect of the left parietal lobe on diffusion images, some of which were present on the previous mri and could be subacute infarcts. however, the abnormalities in the medial aspect of the left parietal lobe on diffusion were not clearly seen on the previous study and could be interval infarcts but they are difficult to assess on adc map secondary to motion. there is no midline shift or hydrocephalus identified. mra head: the head mra demonstrates non-visualization of the right middle cerebral artery beyond its proximal m1 portion. there are no vascular structures identified in the sylvian region. the remaining arteries are unremarkable. impression: 1. acute right middle cerebral artery infarct without evidence of a hemorrhage with minimal mass effect. 2. evolving subacute infarcts in both parietal lobes with new diffusion abnormality in the medial left parietal lobe could be also due to subacute infarcts but were not clearly visible on the prior mri. laminar necrosis with susceptibility abnormalities are seen in both parietal lobes at the site of previous infarcts. 3. mra shows complete occlusion of the right middle cerebral artery in the m1 region without visualization of the distal branches. tte: the left atrium is normal in size. a patent foramen ovale is present. left ventricular wall thickness, cavity size and regional/global systolic function are normal (lvef >55%). right ventricular chamber size and free wall motion are normal. the diameters of aorta at the sinus, ascending and arch levels are normal. the aortic valve leaflets (3) appear structurally normal with good leaflet excursion and no aortic regurgitation. the mitral valve leaflets are mildly thickened. there is no mitral valve prolapse. trivial mitral regurgitation is seen. there is mild pulmonary artery systolic hypertension. there is no pericardial effusion. impression: normal biventricular systolic function. patent foramen ovale. ct abdomen and pelvis: 1. the previously noted multiple liver metastases are not well visualized on this current late urographic phase study, but heterogeneity of the liver parenchyma suggests progression. 2. no source of gastrointestinal bleeding demonstrated. carotid ultrasound: bilateral ica simple calcific plaque, no appreciable associated stenosis however (graded as less than 40% bilaterally). brief hospital course: neuro: at the time of presentation, his nihss was 22. he received iv tpa but it was stopped after several minutes once it became known that he had a prior stroke during early . there was no remarkable improvement in his examination. patient was monitored in the icu and there was no complications, with stable head ct at 24 hours. patient was then transferred to floor. he still has a dense l-sided neglect with anosognosia and with his eyes not crossing the midline. fluent. he was not opening his eyes till he received a direct command (and then did so with difficulty: ocular apraxia). however, he has clearly improved in this regard. he does have a pfo. his carotids show a plaque (<40%). ct brain on did not show evidence of hemorrhagic transformation. on , asa 81 qd was started. he was also given simvastatin 10 mg daily. there were no af runs in his telemetry monitoring. id: patient was treated for uti with 10 day course of ceftriaxone. goals of care: we had extensive discussions with his family discussion about goals of care. the palliative care team was most helpful in this regard. he does not want a peg placed. the speech and swallow evaluation determined he could have po feeds under 1 to 1 supervision. he will need to work with nutrition in the rehab setting, and be evaluated if he can maintain sufficient nutrition on his own. if this is not improving in the following weeks, the family may want to readdress the peg tube issue, depending on his overall level of function at that time. hospice care was also discussed with the family, and there will be a possibility for transition to hospice care from . code status:
