This 90+-year-old male with a complex past medical history including CAD, CHF, AF and diabetes mellitus presented to the SICU for removal of chronically MRSA-infected mesh from prior abdominal surgery. He was intubated with etomidate, succinylcholine and kept sedated with Versed and fentanyl. He received intraoperative vancomycin and levofloxacin as well as 2200 mL of lactated Ringer's. In an attempt to reverse anticoagulation, one unit of FFP was begun but then aborted due to hypotension, which resolved with epinephrine injection, likely due to transfusion reaction. Another unit of FFP was administered, with platelets also given at the request of the Plastic Surgery Team in light of aspirin and Plavix, which were continued due to the patient's cardiac stents. Despite bolus Lasix, the patient did develop CHF with symptomatic pulmonary edema and increased oxygen requirement, concomitantly becoming delirious. He developed hypertension refractory to beta-blockade, calcium channel blockers and IV ACE inhibitors, and was thus placed on a nitroglycerin drip, a furosemide drip with ginger blood product resuscitation to address bleeding and an elevated INR, responding well to this regimen and aggressive pulmonary toilet. The patient was advanced to clear liquids, on medications including Amiodarone 200 mg p.o. daily, Calcium, Colace 100 mg by mouth t.i.d., Coumadin alternating doses of 4 mg and 3 mg, Diltiazem CD 360 mg p.o. daily, Aspirin 81 mg p.o. daily, Folate 1 mg p.o. daily, Lisinopril 10 mg p.o. daily, Metamucil p.r.n., Clopidogrel 75 mg p.o. daily, Potassium, Protonix 40 mg p.o. daily, Simvastatin 80 mg p.o. daily, Synthroid 25 mcg p.o. daily, Thiamine 100 mg p.o. daily, Metoprolol SR 100 mg p.o. b.i.d., Zyprexa 2.5 mg at bedtime p.r.n., and Vancomycin for MRSA-infected mesh. He does experience more significant delirium with morphine and less so with sparing Dilaudid p.r.n., and Haldol is written p.r.n. as needed. Weaning off nitroglycerin drip, nitro paste added, hematocrit 25%, one unit of packed red blood cells with Lasix and potassium to be given, RISS, and PICC line consult ordered for anticipated long-term vancomycin. Services following the patient include Medicine, Dr. Harcar, patient's PCP, Cardiology, Dr. Pagliari, and Plastic Surgery, Dr. Dunshie. Patient anticipated to be transferred to the floor on 9/28/06.

Mr. Lewter is a 65-year-old gentleman with a history of non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus, hypertension, dyslipidemia, and peripheral vascular disease who presented to Tci Prosamp Memorial Hospital on 5/1/06 with unstable angina. EKG revealed sinus tachycardia with a new incomplete left bundle-branch block and downsloping 1-1.5 mm ST depressions in V3 through V6 and 1 mm depression in aVL. Cardiac catheterization revealed an ostial 100% stenosis in the left circumflex coronary artery, a proximal 60% stenosis and a mid 50% stenosis in the left anterior descending coronary artery, a proximal 80% stenosis and a mid 60% stenosis in the right coronary artery, a right dominant circulation, an ejection fraction of 30%, and collateral flow from the second diagonal to the third marginal in the right posterior left ventricular branch to the second marginal, as well as left ventricular hypokinesis and severe inferior and apical. The patient was not heparinized due to the fact that he was on Coumadin for peripheral vascular disease with a therapeutic INR. On 9/18/06, the patient underwent coronary artery bypass graft x3 with left internal mammary artery to left anterior descending coronary artery, a sequential graft and a vein graft connecting from the aorta to the second obtuse marginal coronary artery and then to the left ventricular branch. He was on medications including Lopressor 37.5 mg b.i.d., aspirin 325 mg daily, Colace 100 mg b.i.d., Pepcid 20 mg IV q.12h., insulin sliding scale, atorvastatin 80 mg daily, glipizide, Avandia, Zestril, metformin, meclizine, lactulose, vitamin C, Protonix, Niaspan, Neurontin, Zincate, and Coumadin for peripheral vascular disease. The patient was started on oral medication of glipizide 5 mg and was covered with a NovoLog sliding scale, was transfused 3 units of packed red blood cells, re-started on Coumadin for his reinsertion, and was started on Flomax 0.4 mg once a day. He had some urinary retention postoperatively and did require Foley catheter placement. He was discharged on Enteric-coated aspirin 81 mg QD, Colace 100 mg b.i.d. while taking Dilaudid, Lasix 40 mg QD x3 doses, glipizide 5 mg daily, Dilaudid 2-4 mg every three hours p.r.n. pain, lisinopril 2.5 mg daily, Niferex 150 mg b.i.d., Toprol-XL 150 mg QD, Lipitor 80 mg daily, Flomax 0.4 mg QD, potassium chloride slow release 10 mEq QD x3 doses with Lasix and Coumadin QD per INR result, and the patient will receive 4 mg of Coumadin this evening for his reinsertion and was instructed to remain on his Flomax until that time. Mr. Jana was discharged to rehab in stable condition and will follow up with his cardiologist Dr. Reuben Duttinger in one week, his heart failure cardiologist Dr. Wilton Durkee on 11/10/06 at 1:30 in the afternoon, and Urology Clinic at the Centsson Medical Center for his urinary retention in one week.

Why is the patient taking flomax

Mr. Quigg is a 42-year-old man with history of diabetes, end-stage renal disease on hemodialysis, left Charcot foot complicated by recurrent cellulitis who presented with left lower leg swelling, erythema, and pain. On admission, his temperature was 100.8, heart rate was 111, and blood pressure was 140/70. His left lower extremity had 1+ pitting edema with erythema on the anterior shin and foot. He was uptitrated to 5mg and also lopressor, started on Lyrica and oxycodone for breakthrough pain, and received Fentanyl PCA. His home medications included Colace 100 mg b.i.d., folate 1 mg p.o. daily, gemfibrozil 600 mg b.i.d., Lantus 30 mg subcu q.p.m., Lipitor 80 mg nightly, Nephrocaps, Neurontin 300 mg daily, PhosLo 2001 mg t.i.d., Protonix 40 mg daily, Renagel 3200 mg t.i.d., Requip 2 mg p.o. b.i.d., and Coumadin. His Lipitor was decreased to 20mg due to rhabdomylosis risk, and he was also started on low dose b-blocker to reduce perioperative MI risk prior to his surgery. His Vancomycin was continued given his history of MRSA cellulitis, with a goal of a level less than 20, and he was bridged with heparin with a goal PTT of 60-80. He was restarted on his Lantus and Aspart doses with meals, and his Coumadin was held prior to surgery and decreased to 20mg with a repeat lipid panel in 4-6 weeks. He required antibiotics which were discontinued at this time and he was discharged with dry sterile dressing changes to his residual limb daily, PTT goal 60-80, INR goal 2-3 until stable off of levofloxacin, monitoring of FS and adjustment of DM regimen, monitoring pain scale and decreasing pain medications as pain improves, hemodialysis M/W/F, and follow up with Dr. Carpino voice message left on his medical assistant's voice mail and Dr. Lynes 6/10/06 at 9:30am. Psychiatry service was consulted who recommended low dose Ativan prior to him going for dialysis. He was initially placed on a ketamine drip and given IV Levofloxacin and IV Flagyl to cover gram negatives and anaerobes respectively, and started on oxycontin 80mg tid with oxycodone for breakthrough pain and Lyrica for neuropathic pain. He was comfortable prior to discharge on this current regimen.

What is the current dose of the patient's tylenol ( acetaminophen )

The patient is a 64 year-old gentleman with a history of chest discomfort, dyspnea on exertion and fatigue who was scheduled for a coronary artery bypass grafting. He had cardiac catheterization at Ryhoagberg Spisus Community Hospital on November, 1999 which demonstrated a 30% tapering lesion of the left main coronary artery, 70% proximal lesion of the left anterior descending coronary artery, 80% lesion distal to D1, 100% occlusion of his left circumflex and a 100% occlusion of his right coronary artery. On March, 1999, he underwent coronary artery bypass grafting times three with a left internal mammary artery to the left anterior coronary artery, saphenous vein graft to the aorta and a saphenous vein graft from the obtuse marginal to the aorta. His intraoperative course was uncomplicated and he was weaned to extubation and he was treated with stress steroids to prevent steroid withdrawal. He was taken back to the operating room for bleeding and was reintubated and was returned in good and stable condition to the intensive care unit on renal Dopamine. He was again extubated and was seen in consultation by the Gastrointestinal Service for a question of gastrointestinal bleed since there was a clot seen on the transesophageal echocardiogram probe at its withdrawal from his first surgery. The Gastrointestinal Service saw any evidence of any upper gastrointestinal bleed and he was maintained on H2 blockers. He was sent to the step down unit on routine postoperative day number two and his Captopril was increased for afterload reduction. He continued to improve and continued to have care for his respiratory situation with continued diuresis and nebulizer treatments and ambulation. He was discharged to the care of Dr. Lou Pineault at Potmend Rehabilitation Hospital, Moorlberl Street with medications including Prednisone 5 mg p.o. twice a day, Enteric coated aspirin 325 mg p.o. q. day, Zantac 150 mg p.o. twice a day, Niferex 150 mg p.o. twice a day, Atrovent nebulizer 0.5 mg four times a day, Timolol eye drops 0.5% one drop in both eyes twice a day, Atenolol 25 mg p.o. twice a day, Captopril 12.5 mg p.o. three times a day, Lasix 40 mg p.o. q. day, Potassium SR 20 mEq p.o. q. day, Simvastatin 40 mg p.o. q. day, and Ibuprofen 200-800 mg as needed for pain q.4-6h.

The patient is a 60 year-old woman with adult onset diabetes mellitus, hypertension, and elevated cholesterol admitted with chest pain, bradycardia, and decreased blood pressure. When her blood pressure is elevated, she takes Nifedipine and the pain became three to four out of ten, so she took Cardizem without relief and called EMS. The pain was relieved with the EMTs gave nitroglycerin times two and they found her to have blood pressure of 190/100, heart rate 76, and normal sinus rhythm. They gave two nitrospray, blood pressure decreased to 150/80, heart rate 76, and after two minutes in the vehicle, she had sinus bradycardia at 30-40, blood pressure 120/80. She was given 0.5 mg of Atropine times one without any affect and brought to the hospital with a systolic blood pressure of 100, then suddenly she had bradycardia with heart rate of 30-40 and systolic blood pressure of 75. She was given intravenous fluids and Atropine 0.5 mg times one which increased her blood pressure systolic to 100 and her heart rate increased to 60. On admission, she was given Nifedipine 10 mg p.r.n. for elevated blood pressure, Lasix 20 mg q. day, Glucotrol 15 mg q. day, Cardizem 300 mg q. day, Coumadin 3.75 mg q. day, Colace 100 mg b.i.d., and Iron 325 mg q. day.

What treatments if any has the patient tried for pain in the past

Ms. Loften is a 62 year old woman with cardiac risk factors including hypertension, diabetes mellitus, postmenopause, and exertional angina for four months. On admission, her medications included Aspirin q.d., Enalapril 20 mg b.i.d., Cardizem 300 mg q.d., Insulin mixed 70/30 with 60 units in the morning and 30 in the evening, and Atenolol 50 mg q.d., with an additional Simvastatin 10 mg q.h.s. She had a history of Penicillin allergy which gave her edema, and a deep venous thrombosis in 1994, chronic renal insufficiency, cholecystectomy and vitiligo. Her family history is significant for brothers who had myocardial infarctions in their 50's and 60's, and a mother who had a myocardial infarction when she was 69. She was admitted for premedication overnight prior to catheterization due to a previous allergic reaction to contrast dye that caused laryngeal edema. On examination, her chest pain radiates to her left arm, is associated with shortness of breath, but no diaphoresis or nausea or vomiting, and is relieved by rest within two minutes or by a sublingual Nitroglycerin, which she has used in the past week x two. The patient underwent successful balloon angioplasty of the mid left anterior descending artery stenosis from 70 percent to 10 percent and had a mild occurrence of chest pain post catheterization which was relieved with two sublinguals, and showed no electrocardiogram changes. On discharge, she was prescribed Aspirin 325 mg q.d., Enalapril 20 mg b.i.d., Cardizem 300 mg q.d., Insulin mixed 70/30 with 60 units in the morning and 30 in the evening, Atenolol 50 mg q.d., and Simvastatin 10 mg q.h.s.

The patient is a 70 year old white female with a history of long standing hypertension, hypercholesterolemia, and history of tobacco use who presented upon transfer from Ra Memorial Hospital with chief complaint of post MI unstable angina. She had a history of long standing hypertension and had chest pain in the past including at least one previous episode of rule out MI. She was admitted on 22 of April to Hen Mo Gardensworth Sent Hospital with signs and symptoms consistent with acute MI and apparently received salvage therapy with IV Streptokinase and TPA. On 0 of August, the patient presented to Cooker View Home Hospital with an episode of heavy substernal chest pressure relieved with SL and topical nitrates, and her EKG showed no worrisome ischemic changes. She was transferred to CNMC on IV Heparin, IV Nitroglycerin at 140 micrograms per minute, IV Heparin drip, Lopressor, aspirin one a day, beta blockade and aspirin. She had several episodes of typical substernal chest pain with minimal exertion that were relieved with SL Nitroglycerin, and additional episodes of chest pain that were low in intensity but prolonged, each of these requiring several Nitroglycerins and antacids to be relieved. It was felt that the chest pain was treated by the addition of a calcium channel blocker, and her admission labs showed hematocrit 34.2, WBC 6.7, platelets 159,000, PTT 50.0 on IV Heparin. Postcatheterization, the patient showed mild hypertension which was treated by the addition of a calcium channel blocker, and she was also diuresed for fluid overload. Prior to discharge, she had two additional episodes of chest pain that were low in intensity but prolonged. Each of these required several Nitroglycerins and antacids to be relieved. It was felt that the chest pain was unlikely to be cardiac in origin and more likely represented either GI symptomatology or an anxiety reaction. The patient underwent an exercise treadmill test on the modified Bruce protocol which showed no evidence for ischemia. On discharge, she was prescribed Nifedipine XL 90 mg po q am, Lopressor 50 mg po b.i.d., Zantac 150 mg po q hs, aspirin 81 mg po q d, Serax 15 mg po q 6 h or q hs prn, and Nitroglycerin 1/150 grain q 5 minutes x 3 SL prn chest pain.

The patient is a 64 year-old gentleman with a history of chest discomfort, dyspnea on exertion and fatigue who was scheduled for a coronary artery bypass grafting. He had cardiac catheterization at Ryhoagberg Spisus Community Hospital on November, 1999 which demonstrated a 30% tapering lesion of the left main coronary artery, 70% proximal lesion of the left anterior descending coronary artery, 80% lesion distal to D1, 100% occlusion of his left circumflex and a 100% occlusion of his right coronary artery. On March, 1999, he underwent coronary artery bypass grafting times three with a left internal mammary artery to the left anterior coronary artery, saphenous vein graft to the aorta and a saphenous vein graft from the obtuse marginal to the aorta. His intraoperative course was uncomplicated and he was weaned to extubation and he was treated with stress steroids to prevent steroid withdrawal. He was taken back to the operating room for bleeding and was reintubated and was returned in good and stable condition to the intensive care unit on renal Dopamine. He was again extubated and was seen in consultation by the Gastrointestinal Service for a question of gastrointestinal bleed since there was a clot seen on the transesophageal echocardiogram probe at its withdrawal from his first surgery. The Gastrointestinal Service saw any evidence of any upper gastrointestinal bleed and he was maintained on H2 blockers. He was sent to the step down unit on routine postoperative day number two and his Captopril was increased for afterload reduction. He continued to improve and continued to have care for his respiratory situation with continued diuresis and nebulizer treatments and ambulation. He was discharged to the care of Dr. Lou Pineault at Potmend Rehabilitation Hospital, Moorlberl Street with medications including Prednisone 5 mg p.o. twice a day, Enteric coated aspirin 325 mg p.o. q. day, Zantac 150 mg p.o. twice a day, Niferex 150 mg p.o. twice a day, Atrovent nebulizer 0.5 mg four times a day, Timolol eye drops 0.5% one drop in both eyes twice a day, Atenolol 25 mg p.o. twice a day, Captopril 12.5 mg p.o. three times a day, Lasix 40 mg p.o. q. day, Potassium SR 20 mEq p.o. q. day, Simvastatin 40 mg p.o. q. day, and Ibuprofen 200-800 mg as needed for pain q.4-6h.

LAD in stent restenosis and collateral flow diffusely small left main. On 4/15/05, the patient underwent CABG x4 with SVG1 to RCA, and sequential graft of SVG2 to D1 and then OM1, with LIMA to LAD and an LAD endarterectomy. On arrival to the hospital, he was given 150 mg of Plavix, heparin 500 units for 48 hours, and aspirin that same night. He was also started on Enteric-coated aspirin 325 mg p.o. daily, atenolol 75 mg p.o. daily, Colace 100 mg p.o. t.i.d., oxycodone 5 mg to 10 mg p.o. q.6h. p.r.n. pain, Plavix 75 mg p.o. daily, Lantus 38 units subcutaneously at bedtime, NovoLog 18 units subcutaneous q.a.m., and Lasix with good effect. He required the transfusion of a unit of packed red blood cells and neosynephrine transiently, which was weaned off on postoperative day #2. He was also noted to have a preoperative urinary tract infection of E. coli for which he was started on levofloxacin on 0/5/05 and treated for five days. The patient was followed by the Diabetes Management Service for blood sugar control and was transitioned from IV insulin to subcutaneous insulin postoperatively.

The patient is a 70 year old white female with a history of long standing hypertension, hypercholesterolemia, and history of tobacco use who presented upon transfer from Ra Memorial Hospital with chief complaint of post MI unstable angina. She had a history of long standing hypertension and had chest pain in the past including at least one previous episode of rule out MI. She was admitted on 22 of April to Hen Mo Gardensworth Sent Hospital with signs and symptoms consistent with acute MI and apparently received salvage therapy with IV Streptokinase and TPA. On 0 of August, the patient presented to Cooker View Home Hospital with an episode of heavy substernal chest pressure relieved with SL and topical nitrates, and her EKG showed no worrisome ischemic changes. She was transferred to CNMC on IV Heparin, IV Nitroglycerin at 140 micrograms per minute, IV Heparin drip, Lopressor, aspirin one a day, beta blockade and aspirin. She had several episodes of typical substernal chest pain with minimal exertion that were relieved with SL Nitroglycerin, and additional episodes of chest pain that were low in intensity but prolonged, each of these requiring several Nitroglycerins and antacids to be relieved. It was felt that the chest pain was treated by the addition of a calcium channel blocker, and her admission labs showed hematocrit 34.2, WBC 6.7, platelets 159,000, PTT 50.0 on IV Heparin. Postcatheterization, the patient showed mild hypertension which was treated by the addition of a calcium channel blocker, and she was also diuresed for fluid overload. Prior to discharge, she had two additional episodes of chest pain that were low in intensity but prolonged. Each of these required several Nitroglycerins and antacids to be relieved. It was felt that the chest pain was unlikely to be cardiac in origin and more likely represented either GI symptomatology or an anxiety reaction. The patient underwent an exercise treadmill test on the modified Bruce protocol which showed no evidence for ischemia. On discharge, she was prescribed Nifedipine XL 90 mg po q am, Lopressor 50 mg po b.i.d., Zantac 150 mg po q hs, aspirin 81 mg po q d, Serax 15 mg po q 6 h or q hs prn, and Nitroglycerin 1/150 grain q 5 minutes x 3 SL prn chest pain. She was discharged to home and is to follow up with her primary care physician, Dr. Gayle Demeritt, and her cardiologist, Dr. Mark Willians, at ACSH. ALLERGIES: Penicillin which causes anaphylaxis.

A 43 year old female with metastatic tall cell papillary cancer to bilateral IJ nodes, who had undergone RAI, left paratracheal and modified radial neck dissection, and a total thyroidectomy in 1/24, was admitted to the hospital. During her hospital stay, she was started on ROCALTROL (CALCITRIOL) 0.5 MCG PO BID, CALCIUM CARBONATE (500 MG ELEMENTAL CA++) 1,000 MG PO Q6H, HYDROCHLOROTHIAZIDE 25 MG PO DAILY, SYNTHROID (LEVOTHYROXINE SODIUM) 200 MCG PO BID, and OXYCODONE 5-10 MG PO Q4H PRN Pain. ATENOLOL 100 MG PO DAILY was started the following day. Her diet was advanced and pain was well controlled on oral medications. She required multiple doses of IV medication (labetalol and hydralazine) to control her hypertension on pod#0. Her serum calcium levels were 7.5 and 8.1 on recheck, and she was neurologically intact, af, hd stable and wound was c/d/i. She was discharged to follow up with Dr. Macky and her primary care provider. Medications instructed were: erythromycin leads to GI upset, 500mg elemental calcium is the equivalent of 1250mg of calcium carbonate, and typical dose of Synthroid is 1 mcg per pound. She was also instructed to not immerse wound in bath, swimming or sauna for two weeks, not to drive while taking narcotics, and to follow up with primary care provider concerning hospitalization.

Is there history of use of calcium carbonate ( 500 mg elemental ca++ )

The patient is a 76-year-old female with a history of mitral regurgitation, congestive heart failure, recurrent UTIs, and uterine prolapse who presented with chills and hypotension and was admitted to the Medical ICU for treatment of septic shock. Mean arterial pressures were kept above 65 with Levophed and antibiotics were changed to penicillin 3 million units IV q.4h. and gentamicin 50 mg IV q.8h. An ATEE on 10/19 showed severe mitral regurgitation with posterior leaflet calcifications and linear density concerning for endocarditis, for which a PICC line was placed on 1/19 for a six-week course of penicillin 3 million units IV q.4h. and two-week course of gentamicin 50 mg IV q.8h. until 2/25. The patient was initially treated with Levophed for her hypotension until 11/0, and was placed on Levofloxacin and Vancomycin to treat Gram-positive cocci bacteremia and UTI. She was maintained on telemetry and was found to be a normal sinus rhythm with ectopy, including short once of nonsustained ventricular tachycardia. She was started on Lopressor 12.5 mg t.i.d. on 3/18, and this was increased to 25 mg b.i.d. at discharge, with her heart rates continuing to be between the 70s and the 90s, however, with less episodes of ectopy. Aspirin was given, and Lipitor was initially held for an initial transaminitis presumed to be secondary to shock liver. She had guaiac positive stools in the medical ICU, her hematocrit was stable around 33%, and her iron studies suggested anemia of chronic disease with possibly overlying iron deficiency. She had a normal random cortisol level of 35.3, and her Hemoglobin A1c was 6.5, so she was maintained thereafter only on insulin sliding scale and rarely required any coverage. The patient was kept on Lovenox and Protonix and her DISCHARGE MEDICATIONS include Aspirin 81 mg daily, iron sulfate 325 mg daily, gentamicin sulfate 50 mg IV q.8h. until 2/25 for a two-week course, penicillin G potassium 3 million units IV q.4h. until 0/12 for a six-week course, Lopressor 25 mg b.i.d., Caltrate plus D2 tablets p.o. daily, Lipitor 10 mg daily, and Protonix 40 mg daily. She was discharged to rehabilitation at Acanmingpeerra Virg Tantblu Medical Center in order to be able to get her antibiotic therapy, and her physicians will attempt to add the ACE back onto her medical regimen for better afterload reduction as her blood pressure tolerates, and potentially they will add her back on to the Lasix as well. She will require weekly lab draws to check her electrolytes and CBC while she is on the antibiotics.

Was the patient ever given ace for better afterload reduction

RECORD #159637 was a 45-year-old male with multiple cardiac risk factors, including known CAD s/p MI (4/14 with PCI to LAD, complicated by instent thrombosis 1 week post-cath-&gt;successfully restented), HTN, dyslipidemia, obesity, and positive FHx who was admitted on 4/22/2003 with non-ischemic chest pain. He had an ETT-MIBI in 5/12 which showed large fixed defect in anterior, anteroseptal, anterolateral, inferior, LV apex with EF of 35%. On this occasion, he noted sudden onset of 8/10 chest pain while at rest at 6:30 pm on the evening of admission and was transported to Greena Hospital where his vitals were 98.2, 73, 92/62, 15. He was given IV TNG, heparin, MSO4, ASA with pain down to 4/10 and transferred to ITH. Ruling out ischemia by ensymes and ETT, the patient was discharged on 5/4/2003 with ECASA (Aspirin Enteric Coated) 325 MG PO QD, Folic Acid 1 MG PO QD, Ativan (Lorazepam) 1 MG PO QHS, Nitroglycerin 1/150 (0.4 MG) 1 TAB SL q5min x 3 PRN chest pain, Darvocet N 100 (Propoxyphene Nap./Acetaminophen) 1 TAB PO Q4H PRN Pain, Zocor (Simvastatin) 80 MG PO QHS, Norvasc (Amlodipine) 2.5 MG PO BID, Toprol XL (Metoprolol (Sust.

The patient had a hypoxic episode and EKG changes resolved, requiring 2u PRBCs, and was initially treated with lopressor 5mg IV, eventually rate controlled with dilt drip. PFT's , LFT's and TFT's were completed prior to discharge, and she was instructed to restart ecasa 5d p colonoscopy, as well as to take levofloxacin and flagyl for 5 days, and administer iron products a minimum of 2 hours before or after a levofloxacin or ciprofloxacin dose dose. Consider anticoagulation for PAF was recommended. On 1/16 she had Afib with RVR to 130s with chest arm pain which is her anginal equivalent. ECG with rate related ischemia ST depression V5-6, L. +Minimal troponin leak to 0.19, which subseq downtrended with nl CK. She was init treated with lopressor 5mg IV but had hypotension to 80's which resolved quickly with IVF. She was eventually rate controlled with dilt drip. She returned to sinus rhythm within the day. Cards c/s'd and recommended amio load. CXR showed no infiltrate/opacity. Levo/Flagyl given empirically x 5days though she remained afeb. Abdominal exam was concerning for focal peritoneal irritation. Her exam improved, and she was tolerating PO well at the time of discharge. She has been afeb and well appearing for several days prior to d/c. Plan to complete 5d abx. As per Dr. Thorburn her colonoscopy was complex, and she had polypectomy of 2.5 cm polyp. Path is pending. If + for cancer, the base looked "clean", so may be feasible to re-scope her for surveillance at a later time, as per GI. Hct after colonoscopy went to 24 ( baseline 30 ); post-transfusion HCt of 30.

What is the dosage of prednisone

The 65-year-old female patient with a history of hypertension, hypercholesterolemia, non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus, and no known hx of CAD was admitted with chest pain. On November 1997, an exercise treadmill test revealed a maximal heart rate of 127 and maximal blood pressure of 134/80, with 1 millimeter of ST depression in V5 and T-wave inversions in V4-V6, consistent with, but not diagnostic ischemia. She had a history of sarcoidosis, seizure disorder, pacemaker placement, appendectomy, total abdominal hysterectomy for cervical cancer, adult onset diabetes mellitus, and left calf deep vein thrombosis in 1993. Medications at the time of admission included Linsinopril 5 mg q.d., Pravachol 20 mg q.h.s., aspirin 325 mg q. day, atenolol 0.5 mg b.i.d., Dilantin 200 mg b.i.d., Ventolin inhaler p.r.n., and ferrous gluconate 325 mg t.i.d. Hematocrit on June 1997 was noted to be 29.3 and the patient had been on iron supplements since then. On admission, she was given Nitrol paste and, for her ischemia, she was transfused with one unit of packed red cells. Diagnostic ischemia was present, and she was started on aspirin and atenolol. In the past, she has been treated with prednisone and black secondary to iron supplementation. Two cardiac catheterizations were performed, which showed a 70% residual osteal diagonal stenosis and 0% left anterior descending stenosis. A stent was placed in the diagonal artery with 0% residual stenosis and her left anterior descending was stented. At the time of discharge her medications included Ticlid 250 mg p.o. b.i.d., albuterol inhaler 2 puffs q.i.d. as needed for shortness of breath, enteric-coated aspirin 325 mg p.o. q.d., atenolol 37.5 mg p.o. b.i.d., nitroglycerin 1/150 sublingual one tablet q. 5 minutes times three for chest pain, and Dilantin 200 mg p.o. b.i.d. She was also taking linsinopril 5 mg q.d., Pravachol 20 mg q.h.s., ferrous gluconate 325 mg t.i.d., and Ventolin inhaler p.r.n. She is scheduled to followup with Dr. Doug Millis in her office in one week and will follow up with cardiology as an outpatient.

How much ferrous gluconate does the patient take per day

The patient was admitted on 4/20/2006 with an Altered Mental Status. A team meeting was held on 3/25/06 and the patient was started on 250 mg b.i.d. of Depakote and Haldol was reduced to just Monday-Wednesday-Friday 1 mg before hemodialysis and 1 mg p.r.n. agitation. On 0/16/06, the patient was diagnosed with pneumonia and started on ceftriaxone IV and Flagyl, which was switched to cefpodoxime and Flagyl for discharge. The patient began to spike fevers on 11/29/06 and was started on antibiotics of ceftriaxone and Flagyl, which was switched to cefpodoxime and Flagyl for discharge, and the cefpodoxime should be dosed after dialysis on Monday-Wednesday-Friday. In terms of endocrine, the patient ultimately discontinued on a regimen of 7 units of Lantus q.a.m. and q.p.m. with 5 units aspart q.a.c. breakfast and lunch and 4 units of aspart q.a.c. dinner. His sliding scale was very light and he is only to be covered with one to two units of aspart during the night as insulin stacks in this patient very easily. At the time of discharge, the patient's fingersticks were well controlled in the 100-200 range and his mental status was A&amp;O x3 and appropriate. Medications on discharge included PhosLo 2001 mg p.o. t.i.d., Depakote 250 mg p.o. b.i.d., folate 1 mg p.o. daily, Haldol 1 mg IV on Monday-Wednesday-Friday given prior to hemodialysis, labetalol 350 mg p.o. b.i.d., lisinopril 80 mg p.o. daily, Flagyl 500 mg p.o. t.i.d. for 14 days, thiamine 100 mg p.o. daily, Norvasc 10 mg p.o. daily, gabapentin 300 mg p.o. q.h.s., cefpodoxime 200 mg p.o. three times a week on Monday-Wednesday-Friday for eight doses given after hemodialysis, Nephrocaps one tablet p.o. daily, sevelamer 2004 mg p.o. t.i.d., Advair diskus 250/50 one puff b.i.d., Nexium 20 mg p.o. daily, Lantus 7 units subcutaneous b.i.d. once in the morning and once evening, aspart 4 units subcutaneous before dinner and 5 units subcutaneous before breakfast and 5 units subcutaneous before lunch, aspart sliding scale starting at blood sugar less than 125 give 0 units, blood sugar 125-300 give 0 units, blood sugar 301-350 give 1 unit, blood sugar 351-400 give 2 units, blood sugar 400-450 give 2 units, albuterol butt paste topical daily, and then p.r.n. Tylenol 650 mg p.r.n. pain, headache, or temperature, albuterol inhaler p.r.n. wheezing, Haldol 1 mg

What is the dosage of phoslo

The patient had continued to remain stable from an ischemia standpoint and a beta-blocker was added back to his regimen and was titrated to a dose of Lopressor 12.5 mg p.o. t.i.d. He continues on aspirin and statin, and he also continues on Isordil 20 mg p.o. t.i.d. and hydralazine 50 mg p.o. t.i.d. for after load reduction, as well as digoxin at 0.125 mg p.o. q.o.d. The patient was aggressively diuresed with intravenous Lasix and Zaroxolyn followed by conversion to oral diuresis with torsemide at the dose of 100 mg p.o. q.d. He was also found to have atrial clot on transesophageal echocardiogram and thus was started on a heparin drip and transitioned on Coumadin, but after a discussion with the CHF Team, the decision was made not to continue Coumadin anticoagulation and instead he was given aspirin and Plavix at full doses. The patient's medication regimen also includes Colace 100 mg p.o. b.i.d., Folate 1 mg p.o. q.d., Robitussin A-C 5 mL p.o. q.4h. p.r.n. cough, Simethicone 80 mg p.o. q.i.d. p.r.n. upset stomach, Multivitamin one tab p.o. q.d., Compazine 5-10 mg p.o. q.6h. p.r.n. nausea, Tessalon 100 mg p.o. t.i.d. p.r.n. cough, Lipitor 80 mg p.o. q.d., Plavix 75 mg p.o. q.d., Lantus 5 units subcu q.p.m., NovoLog 3 units subcu a.c. and NovoLog sliding scale. The patient is on ACE inhibitor and was restarted on a low-dose beta-blocker at 12.5 mg p.o. t.i.d. as well as his insulin regimen can be adjusted as an outpatient and possibly oral diabetes medications restarted. He is to be discharged to the Com Medical Center for further rehabilitation, with follow-up appointments with Dr. Kyle Yandle in the T Las on 2/28/05 at 08:30 a.m., Dr. Clyde Chatampaya of Elmert Hospital Cardiology 9/26/05 and Raymond Banaag of TRISTONTERN MEDICAL CENTER PCP on 10/3/05 at 01:50 p.m. His sister, Alexis Fernendez, is his health care proxy and is providing substantial social support.

Has patient ever been prescribed coumadin.

Mr. Lumadue is a 68-year-old man with significant cardiac history and vascular disease who came in with a chief complaint of hip pain after a mechanical fall. At that time, his hospital course was complicated by a non-Q wave MI, and Cardiology recommended medical management with Lopressor. An echocardiogram revealed an ejection fraction of 45%, and Dobutamine MIBI revealed a severe fixed perfusion defect in the inferoposterior and inferoseptal left ventricle with an ejection fraction of 26%. His medications included HCTZ 50 mg PO q.d., enteric-coated aspirin 325 mg PO q.d., Zestril 20 mg PO q.d., glyburide 5 mg PO q.d., multivitamins, and cough medicine PRN. Upon admission, his vital signs were afebrile, temperature 97.3, tachycardia, heart rate 106, blood pressure 162/77, oxygenation 94% on room air. X-rays of his left pelvis and femur revealed fracture of the left intertrochanter and subtrochanteric fracture with lesser trochanteric fracture intact by 3 cm, less than five degrees angulation. His femoral head was reduced. During his hospital course, the patient was started on a beta blocker, Ace inhibitor, and continued on an aspirin. He was aggressively diuresed with Lasix for diuresis and was treated with vancomycin, Flagyl, and levofloxacin for presumed aspiration pneumonia. He was continued on Lovenox 60 mg subcu. b.i.d. for prophylaxis against DVT post-hip surgery to continue for six months minimal followed by orthopedic surgery, and restarted on oral hypoglycemics prior to discharge in addition to sliding scale insulin. He was discharged on standing 20 mEq of K-Dur q.d., lisinopril 5 mg PO q.d., hold for systolic blood pressure less than 100, Lasix 100 mg PO q.d., Lovenox 60 mg subcu. b.i.d. x6 months, glipizide 2.5 mg PO q.d., sliding scale insulin, Nexium 20 mg PO q.d., Silvadene wet-to-dry dressing, DuoDerm to left lower leg wound and change q.3 days, and Lopressor 12.5 mg PO t.i.d., hold for systolic blood pressure less than 100. He was maintained on Nexium prophylaxis in the setting of his anticoagulation and on two liters of nasal cannula oxygen at the time of transfer to rehab. Upon discharge, he was instructed to follow up with his primary care physician, orthopedic surgery, cardiology, and pulmonary medicine within two weeks, with labs for a metabolic panel, magnesium, and calcium q.o.d. and physical therapy as needed, with a weightbearing status of non-weightbearing on the left lower extremity and weightbearing as tolerated on the right lower extremity.

Has a patient had lopressor

Ms. Lofstrom is a 57-year-old female with a past medical history of hypertension, diabetes mellitus, multinodular goiter, arthritis and questionable recurrent bouts of generalized weakness who was admitted for new onset of right sided weakness, right leg numbness and weakness, right arm clumsiness followed by dysarthria. Laboratory tests showed glucose of 353, sodium 138, potassium 4.9, chloride 98, CO2 28, BUN 33, creatinine 1.1, calcium 10.3, magnesium 2.0, troponin 0.09, white count 8.4, hematocrit 39.8, platelet count 367,000, PT 12.1, PTT 19.5, INR 1.0. An echocardiogram revealed evidence of concentric LVH with preserved systolic function, calculated ejection fraction of 55%, one plus tricuspid regurgitation and normal peak doppler flow velocity across the tricuspid valve. Carotid noninvasive studies showed no evidence of hemodynamically significant disease in either carotid artery. MRI showed a focal area of increased T2 signal in the posterior limb of the left internal capsule, close the genu and a similar smaller area of signal abnormality in the left globus pallidus adjacent to the left internal capsule abnormality. The patient had not taken her insulin for several days prior to admission, and was placed on her regular insulin schedule as well as a sliding scale with blood sugar between 150 and high 200s. Her medications included Hydrochlorothiazide 12.5 milligrams once a day, Norvasc 5 milligrams once a day, Taxol 28 milligrams once a day, Premarin 0.625 milligrams once a day, Trazodone, insulin 12 units of regular and 50 units of NPH in the morning and Ansaid 100 milligrams p.o. b.i.d. p.r.n. joint pain. She was also reportedly taking a baby aspirin 81 milligrams once a day, and was placed on subcu heparin and started on full dose aspirin 325 milligrams p.o. q.d. while her antihypertensives were held in order to maintain a systolic blood pressure between 140-160 with a diastolic blood pressure of 85-90. The patient was rehydrated with IV fluids, and close observation was paid to her electrolytes including her potassium. Rheumatology was consulted and recommended checking a urinalysis to check for red blood cells and casts, which showed no protein, no blood, 0-2 red blood cells, and no casts. He therefore suggested to continue aspirin, but in higher doses to alleviate her left shoulder pain. The patient's Norvasc continued to be held with excellent control of her blood pressure between systolic of 140-160, and should not be reinitiated until roughly ten days after her stroke. Social work was consulted due to a history of abuse by her husband, but no further abuse history was elicited since his death. The patient was considered stable and ready for discharge to a rehabilitation facility.

Has the patient had previous baby aspirin

The patient was admitted on 4/12/04 with a right plantar surface neurotrophic ulcer, low-grade fevers and chills, and a history of diabetes mellitus, hypertension, distant past of pancreatitis, gout, neuropathy, high cholesterol, and chronic renal insufficiency.

What medicines have previously been tried for the patient's blood pressure

The patient is a 76-year-old female with a history of mitral regurgitation, congestive heart failure, recurrent UTIs, and uterine prolapse who presented with chills and hypotension and was admitted to the Medical ICU for treatment of septic shock. Mean arterial pressures were kept above 65 with Levophed and antibiotics were changed to penicillin 3 million units IV q.4h. and gentamicin 50 mg IV q.8h. An ATEE on 10/19 showed severe mitral regurgitation with posterior leaflet calcifications and linear density concerning for endocarditis, for which a PICC line was placed on 1/19 for a six-week course of penicillin 3 million units IV q.4h. and two-week course of gentamicin 50 mg IV q.8h. until 2/25. The patient was initially treated with Levophed for her hypotension until 11/0, and was placed on Levofloxacin and Vancomycin to treat Gram-positive cocci bacteremia and UTI. She was maintained on telemetry and was found to be a normal sinus rhythm with ectopy, including short once of nonsustained ventricular tachycardia. She was started on Lopressor 12.5 mg t.i.d. on 3/18, and this was increased to 25 mg b.i.d. at discharge, with her heart rates continuing to be between the 70s and the 90s, however, with less episodes of ectopy. Aspirin was given, and Lipitor was initially held for an initial transaminitis presumed to be secondary to shock liver. She had guaiac positive stools in the medical ICU, her hematocrit was stable around 33%, and her iron studies suggested anemia of chronic disease with possibly overlying iron deficiency. She had a normal random cortisol level of 35.3, and her Hemoglobin A1c was 6.5, so she was maintained thereafter only on insulin sliding scale and rarely required any coverage. The patient was kept on Lovenox and Protonix and her DISCHARGE MEDICATIONS include Aspirin 81 mg daily, iron sulfate 325 mg daily, gentamicin sulfate 50 mg IV q.8h. until 2/25 for a two-week course, penicillin G potassium 3 million units IV q.4h. until 0/12 for a six-week course, Lopressor 25 mg b.i.d., Caltrate plus D2 tablets p.o. daily, Lipitor 10 mg daily, and Protonix 40 mg daily. She was discharged to rehabilitation at Acanmingpeerra Virg Tantblu Medical Center in order to be able to get her antibiotic therapy, and her physicians will attempt to add the ACE back onto her medical regimen for better afterload reduction as her blood pressure tolerates, and potentially they will add her back on to the Lasix as well. She will require weekly lab draws to check her electrolytes and CBC while she is on the antibiotics.

Has the patient had multiple protonix. prescriptions

Mr. Notari was admitted to the Orthopaedic Hand Service on 1/18/2006 with a history of increased right shoulder pain following a cellulitis of the right hand. An ESR was checked on admission and was slightly elevated at 18. He was afebrile and non-toxic, therefore was not started on antibiotics. Dilaudid was added to his pain regimen for his increased discomfort. On 9/25/2006 a CT guided right shoulder joint fluid aspiration was performed by Radiology. Analysis of this fluid was not consistent with joint infection. He received Lovenox for DVT prophylaxis during his admission. On HD#4 he was awake, alert, appropriate and afebrile with stable vital signs. His pain was well controlled on oral medications. He was discharged to home with a prescription for COLACE (DOCUSATE SODIUM) 100 MG PO BID, NEXIUM (ESOMEPRAZOLE) 40 MG PO BID, DILAUDID (HYDROMORPHONE HCL) 2-6 MG PO Q4H PRN Pain, ATROVENT HFA INHALER (IPRATROPIUM INHALER) 2 PUFF INH QID PRN Shortness of Breath, LOPRESSOR (METOPROLOL TARTRATE) 12.5 MG PO BID, MS CONTIN (MORPHINE CONTROLLED RELEASE) 45 MG PO QAM, MS CONTIN (MORPHINE CONTROLLED RELEASE) 30 MG PO QPM, SIMVASTATIN 80 MG PO DAILY, TERAZOSIN HCL 10 MG PO DAILY, and Number of Doses Required (approximate): 3, with instructions to do pendulum range of motion exercises regularly, not to drive a motor vehicle, drink any alcohol or operate machinery while taking the medication, drink plenty of water and take a stool softener (Colace) to help prevent constipation, not to drive a car until cleared to do so by a doctor, and to resume home medications unless specifically instructed otherwise. He was also advised to call a doctor or go to a local emergency room if he developed any concerning symptoms. His final joint fluid cultures were pending at the time of discharge, he will be contacted at home if these turn positive.

Has the pt. ever been on tylenol before

This 75-year-old female vasculopath was admitted for further evaluation of her peripheral vascular disease which was suspected to be contributing to her new ulcerations and progressively worsening bilateral foot pain, foot mottling and wrist pain as an exacerbating factor to likely atheroembolic phenomenon, status post coronary catheterizations earlier in the year. She was placed on broad-spectrum antibiotics and plan was made for an MRA to evaluate her anatomy, unfortunately, the patient was unable to tolerate the MR and did experience some mental status changes that prevented further noninvasive imaging when she received some narcotic following her hemodialysis round. Over the ensuing days she required rather significant doses of Zyprexa and Haldol to contain agitation and delirium, as the patient would also get physical and violent. This appeared to sedate her sufficiently and over the following days, she did manage to calm significantly and returned to her baseline mental status. Cardiology was consulted during this time to optimize her prior to the OR and her primary cardiologist, Dr. Fugle, did make some recommendations including an echocardiogram that showed preserved ejection fraction and no wall motion abnormalities. Her beta blockade was titrated up and she was instructed to follow up with cardiology. She did tolerate hemodialysis throughout this time without undue difficulty and they offered an angiogram to delineate aortic and bilateral lower extremity runoff anatomy. After extensive discussions with the patient and the patient's family, the patient did agree to a left femoral to dorsalis pedis bypass graft which was performed on 0/25/2006 without complication. By time of discharge, she was tolerating a regular diet and ambulating at baseline with her rolling walker. The pain was well controlled with minimal analgesics that were not narcotic based. Medications on admission included Aspirin 325 mg p.o. daily, Plavix 75 mg p.o. daily, Cardizem 60 mg p.o. t.i.d., Lipitor 80 mg daily, Atrovent 2 puffs four times a day, Albuterol 2 puffs b.i.d., Renagel 806 mg p.o. every meal, Allopurinol 100 mg p.o. daily, Zaroxylyn 2.5 mg p.o. daily p.r.n. overload, Lantus 10 units subcutaneous nightly, Regular insulin sliding scale, Valium 5 mg p.o. b.i.d. p.r.n., Isordil 40 mg p.o. t.i.d., Hydralazine 20 mg p.o. t.i.d., Lopressor 75 mg p.o. t.i.d., Zantac 150 mg p.o. b.i.d., Aciphex 20 mg p.o. daily, Neurontin 300 mg p.o. post-dialysis, Metamucil, Nitroglycerine p.r.n., Procrit 40,000 units subcutaneously every week, Lilly insulin pen, unknown dosage 20 units every morning and 10 units every evening, Loperamide 2 tabs p.o. four times a day, Ambien 10 mg p.o. nightly p.r.n., Tylenol 325 mg p.o. every four hours p.r.n. pain, Albuterol inhaler 2 puffs b.i.d., Calcitriol 1.5 mcg p.o. every Monday and every Friday, Darbepoetin alfa 100 mcg subcutaneous every week, Ferrous sulfate 325 mg p.o. t.i.d., Prozac 40 mg p.o. daily, Motrin 400 mg p.o. every eight hours p.r.n. pain, Insulin regular sliding scale, and Sevelamer 800 mg p.o. t.i.d. Discharge instructions included touchdown weightbearing on the left heel, legs are to be elevated as much as possible while sitting or lying down, all home medications were to be resumed except for Lopressor, VNA was ordered to assist with wound care including Betadine paint to incisions daily, showering only, no bathing or immersion in water for prolonged periods of time, and follow-up visits with Dr. Amorose in one to two weeks and Dr. Morici primary care physician in one week.

The patient is a 57 year-old female with dilated cardiomyopathy who is admitted for transplant evaluation. She initially presented with substernal chest pain in 1991, which was thought to be a myocardial infarction and Streptokinase was given; however details are not known. An echocardiogram showed an ejection fraction of 35-40% with evidence of an anteroseptal myocardial infarction, and an ETT Thallium showed fixed anteroseptal and apical defects. Upon admission, her ejection fraction was 15%, and a bicycle test achieved 5 minutes and 33 seconds with a maximal heart rate of 108 and a VO2 of 6.4 ml per kg per minute. Her past medical history is significant for 1) History of bronchitis, 2) History of cardiomyopathy, 3) Non-insulin dependent diabetes mellitus, 4) Status post hysterectomy at age 40, 5) Status post cholecystectomy, 6) Status post appendectomy, 7) History of panic disorders, 8) History of agoraphobia, and 9) History of alcohol use. Medication on admission included Coumadin 2.5 mg p.o. four times a week and 5 mg p.o. three times a week, Digoxin 0.125 mg p.o. q. day, Enalapril 10 mg p.o. b.i.d., Micronase 2.5 mg p.o. q. day, Multivitamins one tablet p.o. q. day, Lasix 40 mg p.o. b.i.d., and Xanax 0.5 mg p.o. q.i.d. p.r.n. The patient was briefly transferred to the Coronary Care Unit secondary to her elevated pulmonary capillary wedge pressure and the presence of her Swan-Ganz catheter, and was diuresed with good response. As part of the patient's transplant evaluation, she had a PPD with controls placed which showed that her PPD was negative and her controls were positive, and she underwent a Dental consult as well as a Psychiatric consult, and Thyrology showed a cytomegalovirus IgG being positive, a cytomegalovirus IgM being equivocal, and Epstein-Barr virus anti-VCA IgG at 640, an Epstein-Barr virus anti-VCA IgM being less than 10 and a mucal screen being greater than or equal to 32, a varicella zoster titer of 512, a Toxoplasma IgG being positive, and a Toxoplasma IgM being negative. Abdominal ultrasound showed a mildly dilated common bile and pancreatic duct and showed that this patient was status post cholecystectomy. Medication on discharge included Tylenol 650 mg p.o. q.4h. p.r.n. headache, Xanax 0.5 mg p.o. q.i.d., Digoxin 0.125 mg p.o. q. day, Enalapril 12.5 mg p.o. b.i.d., Lasix 40 mg p.o. b.i.d., Micronase 1.25 mg p.o. q. day, Multivitamins one tablet p.o. q. day, and Coumadin 2.5 mg p.o. q. day on even days and 5 mg p.o. q. day on odd days. The patient was instructed that she should increase her diuresis at home if she noticed an increase in her weight and was instructed to see a physician for continued for weight increases due to fluid accumulation. The patient had no known drug allergies and had been on Heparin during this hospitalization, and she did experience some hematuria toward the end of her hospitalization which was felt to be secondary to Foley trauma while she was in the Coronary Care Unit. While the patient maybe a good transplant candidate, it was felt that her weight was a negative factor in her potential for transplant.

This 57-year-old female with a distant history of ovarian cancer, rheumatoid arthritis with systemic lupus erythematosus features, and history of TTP, status post splenectomy, was admitted with fever, shortness of breath, and pleuritic chest pain. She was initially given cefuroxime and levofloxacin in the emergency department for a presumed community acquired pneumonia, as well as Lasix. Her medications included diltiazem 240 mg a day, lisinopril 40 mg a day, Naprosyn 500 mg b.i.d., NPH insulin 24 units subcutaneously q.a.m., Entex-LA, and Cardizem-CD 240 mg p.o. q.d. She underwent thoracentesis and multiple bilateral therapeutic pleuracentesis, and was diuresed aggressively with Lasix, with her oxygen requirement being down from initially 5 to 6 liters per nasal cannula prior to discharge. A continuous Doppler wave form was found and she underwent abdominal CT scan, which did not show any evidence of venous or lymphatic obstruction. Initially, she was started on cefuroxime and azithromycin by the General Medicine team, and her Legionella urine antigen became positive and levofloxacin was added given recommendations from the Infectious Disease Service. She was off of O2 except that she had desaturations to 86% with ambulation, therefore, she was discharged home with p.r.n. oxygen, on Lasix 80 mg b.i.d., insulin sliding scale, lisinopril 40 mg a day, and Cardizem-CD 240 mg p.o. q.d. and levofloxacin 500 mg times 14 days. An elevated platelet count up to 800 and an elevated CA-125 level was discussed with her GYN oncologist, and she was to follow-up with her doctor in one week.

An 81-year-old Russian-speaking male with a history of coronary artery disease, multiple strokes, diabetes mellitus type 2, COPD, atrial fibrillation on anticoagulation and a partial pacemaker, congestive heart failure with an ejection fraction of 45-50%, BPH, and hypertension was admitted to Ghampemaw A Hospital for bacteremia with Streptococcus oralis and was treated with a course of IV penicillin through a PICC line, as well as oral Flagyl empirically for an elevated white count. At the rehab facility, he was treated with some sublingual nitroglycerin, and was brought to the Ellwis Medical Center Emergency Room where he was given IV fluid boluses, treated empirically with vancomycin and ceftazidime, and had a CPAP initiated. A head CT was performed which was negative and a right internal jugular line was placed. He was admitted to medicine for further management and a PEG tube placement was done on 4/2/06. His MEDICATIONS ON ADMISSION included Glucotrol 10 mg p.o. b.i.d. and lisinopril 5 mg p.o. q. day, metformin 500 mg p.o. t.i.d., sublingual nitroglycerin p.r.n., nystatin suspension q.i.d., Zyprexa 2.5 mg p.o. q. h.s., Penicillin G 3 million units IV q. 4h x7 days, Milk of Magnesia, Tylenol p.r.n., Dulcolax p.r.n., Colace p.r.n., atenolol 50 mg q. day, Lipitor 20 mg q. day, Senna liquid q. h.s., Flomax 0.4 q. day. He was initially diuresed mildly with Lasix, started on insulin sliding-scale and Lantus, and was kept on potassium and magnesium scales while in hospital. He was given an empiric 7-day course of Ceptaz and Flagyl for aspiration pneumonia, vancomycin, and his vancomycin was switched to IV penicillin and was continued for a full 3-4 week course on 8/14/07. Coumadin was held peri-procedure when he was getting his PEG placed and vitamin K had been administered in view of his supratherapeutic Coumadin. His Coumadin should be restarted on 9/23/07 and Nexium p.o. t.i.d., Flagyl 500 mg p.o. t.i.d. x10 days which was started on 2/5/06. He was oxygenated quickly with 2 liters of oxygen by nasal cannula, restarted on his home doses of aspirin, statin, beta blocker 2 pump, and ACE inhibitor, and his beta blocker and ACE inhibitor were restarted during his hospital stay. He was discharged to rehabilitation where they will focus primarily on his physical therapy and rehab needs.

The patient is a 65-year-old woman with Dilated Cardiomyopathy secondary to Adriamycin, status post recent admission for increased shortness of breath and left pleural effusion. She returns now with increased cough productive of white phlegm and progressive dyspnea on exertion. Her physical examination revealed Temperature 100.6, Blood Pressure 116/65, Heart Rate 100, Respiratory Rate 18, 02 Saturation 90% on room air. She was started on empiric course of antibiotics including cefotaxime and clarithromycin, in addition to Digoxin 0.25 mg q day, Lasix 80 mg q day, Capoten 50 mg t.i.d., Aspirin one per day, Synthroid 2 gr. per day, Tamoxifen 10 mg b.i.d., Elavil 75 mg q day, K-Dur 1 q day, Biaxin 500 mg p.o. b.i.d., Digoxin 0.125 mg alternating with 0.25 mg q day, Thyroid 2 grains p.o. q day, Coumadin 5 mg p.o. q day, and K-Dur 20 mg p.o. b.i.d., Ambien 10 mg p.o. q h.s. A chest x-ray showed a left pleural effusion which is unchanged, a new right pleural effusion +- consolidation, and a large peripheral, red, right lower lobe opacity, highly suggestive of a right lower lobe pulmonary infarction. She underwent ultrasound guided thoracentesis complicated by a pneumothorax requiring chest tube placement and evaluation of the pleural fluid revealed a transudative effusion with all cultures and cytology remaining negative. She was treated with Ancef for approximately 7 days while the chest tube was in place, and then switched to Adriamycin with good result. She was also started on IV Heparin with achievement of therapeutic PTT prior to switching to oral Coumadin without complications, while lower extremity non-invasives and a cardiac echocardiogram remained negative for deep venous thrombosis and right ventricular thrombus. The patient was discharged to home with followup with Dr. Gunsolus at the Leyer Memorial Hospital.

The patient is a 68 year old female with a history of long standing hypertension and diabetes who experienced an increase in shortness of breath, dyspnea on exertion and paroxysmal nocturnal dyspnea while in Tempefayscot, Michigan 76498. She was admitted to the Short Stay Unit for evaluation with a systolic blood pressure greater than 200, and was administered Procardia XL 20 mg p.o. x 1, Aspirin, Nitropaste, and IV Lasix, to which she had a significant response. Her past medical history includes a stress echocardiogram which showed mitral regurgitation, hypokinesis of the septum and AV block on exertion with an ejection fraction of about 40%. On admission, she was taking Cardura, Vasotec, and Metoprolol. Her electrocardiogram showed bradycardia at 40 with a left bundle branch pattern and she had 2:1 AV block. Her chest x-ray showed an enlarged heart with pleural effusions and cephalization, and her laboratory data SMA-7 was within normal limits. She underwent pacemaker placement without any difficulty and it was interrogated the day after placement without any problem. She was discharged in stable condition with no reportable disease and no adverse drug reactions on Keflex 250 mg p.o. q.i.d. for 5 days; Norvasc 5 mg p.o. qd; Hydrochlorothiazide 25 mg p.o. qd and Vasotec 20 mg p.o. b.i.d. She will follow-up with her Cardiologist in one week and will probably have her blood pressure medications further adjusted at that point.

Is there history of use of lasix

The patient is a 76-year-old female with a history of mitral regurgitation, congestive heart failure, recurrent UTIs, and uterine prolapse who presented with chills and hypotension and was admitted to the Medical ICU for treatment of septic shock. Mean arterial pressures were kept above 65 with Levophed and antibiotics were changed to penicillin 3 million units IV q.4h. and gentamicin 50 mg IV q.8h. An ATEE on 10/19 showed severe mitral regurgitation with posterior leaflet calcifications and linear density concerning for endocarditis, for which a PICC line was placed on 1/19 for a six-week course of penicillin 3 million units IV q.4h. and two-week course of gentamicin 50 mg IV q.8h. until 2/25. The patient was initially treated with Levophed for her hypotension until 11/0, and was placed on Levofloxacin and Vancomycin to treat Gram-positive cocci bacteremia and UTI. She was maintained on telemetry and was found to be a normal sinus rhythm with ectopy, including short once of nonsustained ventricular tachycardia. She was started on Lopressor 12.5 mg t.i.d. on 3/18, and this was increased to 25 mg b.i.d. at discharge, with her heart rates continuing to be between the 70s and the 90s, however, with less episodes of ectopy. Aspirin was given, and Lipitor was initially held for an initial transaminitis presumed to be secondary to shock liver. She had guaiac positive stools in the medical ICU, her hematocrit was stable around 33%, and her iron studies suggested anemia of chronic disease with possibly overlying iron deficiency. She had a normal random cortisol level of 35.3, and her Hemoglobin A1c was 6.5, so she was maintained thereafter only on insulin sliding scale and rarely required any coverage. The patient was kept on Lovenox and Protonix and her DISCHARGE MEDICATIONS include Aspirin 81 mg daily, iron sulfate 325 mg daily, gentamicin sulfate 50 mg IV q.8h. until 2/25 for a two-week course, penicillin G potassium 3 million units IV q.4h. until 0/12 for a six-week course, Lopressor 25 mg b.i.d., Caltrate plus D2 tablets p.o. daily, Lipitor 10 mg daily, and Protonix 40 mg daily. She was discharged to rehabilitation at Acanmingpeerra Virg Tantblu Medical Center in order to be able to get her antibiotic therapy, and her physicians will attempt to add the ACE back onto her medical regimen for better afterload reduction as her blood pressure tolerates, and potentially they will add her back on to the Lasix as well. She will require weekly lab draws to check her electrolytes and CBC while she is on the antibiotics.

A 58 year old female smoker with a history of Coronary Artery Disease (CAD), Cirrhosis, Diabetes Mellitus Type II (DMII), Hypertension (HTN), and Hyperlipidemia was admitted to the CCU after an elective cardiac catheterization following an abnormal stress test. The cath showed impaired flow in the inferior and posterolateral zones due to obstructive degenerative disease in the SVGs to the RCA and LCF-OM, and a stent was placed in the RCA graft though there was extensive calcification and difficulty obtaining full stent expansion. After the stent deployment there was poor reflow accompanied by mild chest pain and EKG changes, without hemodynamic embarrassment. The patient experienced jaw and chest pain post-procedure which she described as different from previous episodes of angina. The pump-function was preserved, BP low-normal, and rhythm was NSR on telemetry. For pulmonary issues, the patient had a chronic cough due to post nasal drip which was taken off of her antihistamine on admission and CXR was normal with no acute changes. There were no renal issues during the hospital course and the patient was on Lantus, Novolog SS, and FS Glu monitored while in the hospital. Heme-wise, the patient had a cath and subsequent oozing from the site in the groin and was discharged on home meds including Plavix and ASA.

This is a 59-year-old female with a history of rheumatic heart disease, endocarditis, diabetes mellitus, hypertension, and congestive heart failure who presented with increasing shortness of breath, nausea, vomiting, and abdominal pain. She was given recent Levaquin for an upper respiratory tract infection, then started on Flagyl for a possible C. difficile infection and was diuresed with IV Lasix with good output per report. She complained of 10/10 abdominal pain and was given some Dilaudid. Her hematocrit at one point required two units of packed red blood cells, and she was placed on a heparin drip at 950 units per hour to maintain a PTT between 60 and 80 secondary to atrial fibrillation that has been rate controlled with a beta-blocker. She was discharged on diltiazem 30 mg q.i.d. and a normal dosing of Nexium 40 mg p.o. q.d. while in-house. She was given Darvon and Codeine as needed for pain, and was prescribed Caltrate plus Vitamin D 600 mg, Maalox tablets, Magnesium oxide 400 mg, Multivitamin, Niferex 150 mg, and Lovenox 60 mg subcutaneously b.i.d. with a renal adjustment and NovoLog 15 units subcutaneously with breakfast and dinner. The patient was instructed to call Dr. Mccutchan office to coordinate her appointment for her valve repair in the next one to two weeks pending her surgeon's return and to call Dr. Doug Schlanger on March 2005 to discuss surgical plans and also to follow up. All her blood cultures should be followed up prior to her surgery and if any of her blood cultures become positive in the interim, a long course of antibiotic therapy should be started and surgery should be delayed at the discussion of the Cardiovascular Service. Her medications included Lasix 40 mg p.o. q.o.d. alternating with 80 mg p.o. Lasix q.o.d., Digoxin 0.125 mg q.o.d. alternating with 0.25 q.o.d., Lisinopril 20 mg p.o. q.d., Coumadin 6 mg p.o. q.o.d. alternating with 4 mg q.o.d., Omeprazole 20 mg b.i.d., Metformin 500 mg daily, Insulin 70/30 65 units q.a.m., 35 units q.p.m., Calcium 600 mg p.o. b.i.d., Magnesium 400 mg p.o. b.i.d., Multivitamin, Iron tablets, Actonel every Wednesday, Caltrate plus vitamin D 600 mg one tablet p.o. b.i.d., Maalox tablets quick dissolve, Magnesium oxide 400 mg p.o. b.i.d., Niferex 150 mg p.o. b.i.d., Colace 100 mg p.o. b.i.d., Senokot three tablets p.o. b.i.d., Codeine 15 mg to 30 mg p.o. q.4h. p.r.n. pain. She was required to increase her dosage of Nexium secondary to GERD-like symptoms and was maintained on a stable regimen of NPH 60 units in the morning, NPH 30 units in the evening, and NovoLog of 15 units in the morning with breakfast and 15 at dinner with a sliding scale. She was also transitioned to Lovenox 60 mg b.i.d. with a renal adjustment and was sent to the ED for diuresis where she was given 60 mg of Lasix.

Previous lisinopril

Ms. Veltin is a 72 year old woman with a PAST MEDICAL HISTORY significant for coronary artery disease, diabetes, and hypertension. On admission, her CURRENT MEDICATIONS included Atenolol 50 b.i.d., hydrochlorothiazide 25 q.d., Lisinopril 40 q.d., simvastatin 10 q.d., metformin 500 q.d., and NPH 43 q.a.m. and 24 q.p.m., while her PAST MEDICAL HISTORY was significant for diabetes for which she took insulin and checked her sugars at home which ran 170 range to 200 range. During admission, she was maintained on metformin, her blood pressure was controlled with Lisinopril at 40 milligrams, she was given nifedipine extended release 120 q.d., and her sugars at home on her regimen of 43 q.a.m. and 24 q.p.m. were in control. She was also maintained on her aspirin and simvastatin, and given Lasix 20 q.d. times seven days and four liters through admission with Lasix at 40 intravenously. Her cardiovascular evaluation showed three vessel disease, diastolic dysfunction, and pulmonary artery systolic pressure of 36 plus RA, but no wall motion abnormalities. Her blood pressure regimen was advanced with the addition of Atenolol 50 b.i.d. and titration up to 120 milligrams q.d. of nifedipine extended release. For congestive heart failure, she diuresed approximately four liters through admission with Lasix at 40 intravenously and would be discharged on a seven day course of Lasix at 20 p.o. q.d. Pulmonary evaluation showed hypoxia on admission to 85% on room air, D-dymer greater than 1000, V/Q scan low probability, negative lower extremity noninvasives, chest CT without interstitial lung disease, and pulmonary function tests consistent with restrictive picture. Endocrine evaluation revealed that she was maintained on metformin during admission and also on half of her dose of NPH given her decreased p.o. intake. She took insulin and checked her sugars at home, which were 170 to 200, and she was discharged on her normal regimen of 43 q.a.m. and 24 q.p.m. of NPH. Discharge medications included Atenolol 50 b.i.d., hydrochlorothiazide 25 q.d., Lisinopril 40 q.d., nifedipine extended release 120 q.d., metformin 500 q.d., NPH 43 q.a.m. and 24 q.p.m., simvastatin 10 q.d., aspirin 325 q.d., and Lasix 20 milligrams p.o. q.d. times seven days. She was discharged in stable condition on March, 2000 and will follow up with Dr. Nakajima, her primary care doctor, and Dr. Klang, her cardiologist.

How often does the patient take hydrochlorothiazide

The patient is a 70 year old white female with a history of long standing hypertension, hypercholesterolemia, and history of tobacco use who presented upon transfer from Ra Memorial Hospital with chief complaint of post MI unstable angina. She had a history of long standing hypertension and had chest pain in the past including at least one previous episode of rule out MI. She was admitted on 22 of April to Hen Mo Gardensworth Sent Hospital with signs and symptoms consistent with acute MI and apparently received salvage therapy with IV Streptokinase and TPA. On 0 of August, the patient presented to Cooker View Home Hospital with an episode of heavy substernal chest pressure relieved with SL and topical nitrates, and her EKG showed no worrisome ischemic changes. She was transferred to CNMC on IV Heparin, IV Nitroglycerin at 140 micrograms per minute, IV Heparin drip, Lopressor, aspirin one a day, beta blockade and aspirin. She had several episodes of typical substernal chest pain with minimal exertion that were relieved with SL Nitroglycerin, and additional episodes of chest pain that were low in intensity but prolonged, each of these requiring several Nitroglycerins and antacids to be relieved. It was felt that the chest pain was treated by the addition of a calcium channel blocker, and her admission labs showed hematocrit 34.2, WBC 6.7, platelets 159,000, PTT 50.0 on IV Heparin. Postcatheterization, the patient showed mild hypertension which was treated by the addition of a calcium channel blocker, and she was also diuresed for fluid overload. Prior to discharge, she had two additional episodes of chest pain that were low in intensity but prolonged. Each of these required several Nitroglycerins and antacids to be relieved. It was felt that the chest pain was unlikely to be cardiac in origin and more likely represented either GI symptomatology or an anxiety reaction. The patient underwent an exercise treadmill test on the modified Bruce protocol which showed no evidence for ischemia. On discharge, she was prescribed Nifedipine XL 90 mg po q am, Lopressor 50 mg po b.i.d., Zantac 150 mg po q hs, aspirin 81 mg po q d, Serax 15 mg po q 6 h or q hs prn, and Nitroglycerin 1/150 grain q 5 minutes x 3 SL prn chest pain. She was discharged to home and is to follow up with her primary care physician, Dr. Gayle Demeritt, and her cardiologist, Dr. Mark Willians, at ACSH. ALLERGIES: Penicillin which causes anaphylaxis.

Has the patient ever had lopressor

This is a 65-year-old female with a history of coronary artery disease, hypertension, diabetes, IPF diagnosed in 1986, osteoarthritis, and obesity who presented with five days of chest pain/SOB. She was initially put on aspirin, Lopressor 37.5 t.i.d., heparin, oxygen and hooked up to a cardiac monitor and EKG q.d. and was ruled out for unstable angina. Cardiac catheterization revealed LAD ostial 90%, proximal 80%, diag ostial 90%, left circ 90%, 80% lesions, marginal 1, TUB 90%, RCA 50%. The patient underwent PTCA and stent x 2 with good results and remained chest pain free. On admission she was on medications Captopril 50 mg b.i.d., Lasix 40 mg q.d., Lopid 600 mg b.i.d., Axid 150 mg b.i.d., and insulin 70/30 90 q. a.m. and 40 q. p.m. The patient was hypokalemic on 10/23 with a curious whitening on EKG and peak T waves and was treated with insulin, calcium, and Kayexalate x 3. She had a history of colonic polyps but tolerated the aspirin and was put on Nexium prophylaxis. She was then treated with prednisone overnight for IV contrast dye allergy and treated with digoxin and prednisone. The patient was treated with levofloxacin 500 mg q.d. for fourteen days and discharged on medications ASA 325 mg p.o.q.d., atenolol 75 mg p.o. b.i.d., Lasix 40 mg p.o. q.d., Lopid 600 mg p.o. b.i.d., nitroglycerin 1/150 one tab q. 5 minutes x 3 p.r.n. chest pain, Zocor 10 mg p.o. q.h.s., Norvasc 5 mg p.o.q.d., xalatan one drop OU q.h.s., Alphagan one drop OU b.i.d., levofloxacin 500 mg p.o.q.d., clopidogrel 75 mg p.o.q.d., insulin 70/30 90 units q.a.m., 40 units q.p.m. subcu, and Axid 150 mg p.o. b.i.d.

Is the patient currently or have they ever taken heparin

Mr. Wizar is a 51-year-old man who was admitted for repair of left pseudoaneurysm in his groin and was given wet-to-dry dressing changes t.i.d. On 6/3/2003, he was taken to the operating room for left groin closure with flap by Plastic Surgery and Vascular Surgery. He was injected with heparin solution and received serial needle pricks, which improved the appearance of the flap. He was given vancomycin, levofloxacin, and Flagyl for empiric treatment for C. diff, with C. diff cultures being negative on 0/7/2003 and drain cultures showing rare Staphylococcus aureus on 10/6/2003. His Zestril was held secondary to an elevation in creatinine, which gradually resolved. He was also seen by Cardiology and Nutrition and was given supplements, vitamin C, and Zinc for wound healing, with the flap being stable, pink, and viable at the time of discharge. His discharge medications included Aspirin 325 mg once a day; digoxin 0.125 once a day; Ultralente 16 units q.a.m. , 4 units q.p.m.; Zocor 10 mg once a day; Toprol 25 mg once a day; Imdur 30 mg once a day; torsemide 100 mg once a day; lisinopril 2.5 mg once a day; colace; and Percocet.

Has this patient ever been on imdur

This is a 69 year-old woman with a history of congestive heart failure and hypertension who presented with a productive cough which was worsening over the past 3-4 days and fever to 101 with chills and shakes and increasing shortness of breath. She had a white blood cell count of 9.3 with 54% polys and 9.6 % eosinophils, a glucose of 377, and a chest x-ray without evidence of congestive heart failure or infiltrate. She was treated in the emergency room with Albuterol nebulizer and plans were to discharge her to home, however, her saturations dropped to 89% on room air with exercise in the emergency room and was admitted for further observation. She was started on intravenous Cefuroxime, and initially improved with decrease in cough and shortness of breath; however, the patient continued to desat with exercise. A repeat chest x-ray was performed which showed no change when compared to the admission film. Her sputum culture grew out Pen-sensitive E-coli and she was continued on her intravenous and then PO antibiotics. She continued to desat with exercise, however, and her cough persisted although she remained afebrile with a slightly elevated white count and moderate peripheral eosinophilia. Her chest exam remained rancorous and the reason for this remained unclear. Given the finding of E-coli in the sputum sample, in addition to the elevated eosinophilia and lack of finding on chest x-ray despite significant findings on chest exam, the possibility of a worm or parasitic disease was raised. She had a Persantine MIBI in March of 1996, on which she had no fixed or reversible defects, and was on nitroglycerin for stable angina - "chest heaviness" after climbing one flight of stairs, relieved by rest and one sublingual nitroglycerin. Her medications on admission included Lasix 40 mg. per day, Insulin 70/30 28 units q a.m. and 5 units q p.m., Verapamil SR 120 mg PO b.i.d., Enteric coated aspirin 325 mg q day, KCL 10 mEq PO q day, Premarin 0.625 mg PO q day, Zestril 20 mg b.i.d., Atenolol, recently discontinued, Tofranil 75 mg PO q HS, Albuterol inhaler two puffs inhaled q.i.d., and Potassium slow release 10 mEq PO q day. She was discharged to home with Albuterol inhaler and instructions to follow up with her primary physician in clinic for further evaluation including PFTs and possible chest CT if symptoms did not abate, and to finish a full ten day course of antibiotics for presumed bronchitis. At the time of discharge the patient's saturation was 92 to 93% on room air and dropping slightly to 90 to 91% with exercise, however she was tolerating this well and was getting relief from her Albuterol inhaler.

has the patient had atenolol

Mr. Laborn is a 54-year-old male with no significant past medical history who presented to his cardiologist with chest pressure while working out. Stress test and cardiac catheterization showed diffuse LAD disease and he was referred to Dr. Pillon for coronary revascularization. His past medical history includes hypertension, diabetes mellitus, hyperlipidemia, COPD, and asthma, and he was not a tobacco user. Preoperative medications included Lisinopril 20 mg p.o. daily, atorvastatin 40 mg p.o. daily, and Xanax dose unknown. Vital signs, physical examination, and preoperative labs were all normal, and on 2/1/05 coronary anatomy showed 95% osteal LAD, 90% proximal LAD, and 70% LAD left dominant circulation. On 0/8/05 he had CABG x2 with a LIMA to the LAD, SVG1 to the D1, and was transferred to the cardiac intensive care unit under stable condition. His course was uncomplicated in the cardiac intensive care unit and all epicardial pacing wires and chest tubes were removed without complication. He was discharged home on postoperative day #4 in stable condition on aspirin 325 mg p.o. q. day, Niferex 150 mg p.o. b.i.d., oxycodone 5 mg p.o. q.6h. p.r.n. pain, Toprol XL 100 mg p.o. q. day, Flovent 44 mcg inhaler b.i.d., and Lipitor 40 mg p.o. daily, and is to follow-up with Dr. Delawyer cardiac surgeon in six weeks and Dr. Eggleston, cardiologist in two weeks.

Has a patient had aspirin

Mr. Lumadue is a 68-year-old man with significant cardiac history and vascular disease who came in with a chief complaint of hip pain after a mechanical fall. At that time, his hospital course was complicated by a non-Q wave MI, and Cardiology recommended medical management with Lopressor. An echocardiogram revealed an ejection fraction of 45%, and Dobutamine MIBI revealed a severe fixed perfusion defect in the inferoposterior and inferoseptal left ventricle with an ejection fraction of 26%. His medications included HCTZ 50 mg PO q.d., enteric-coated aspirin 325 mg PO q.d., Zestril 20 mg PO q.d., glyburide 5 mg PO q.d., multivitamins, and cough medicine PRN. Upon admission, his vital signs were afebrile, temperature 97.3, tachycardia, heart rate 106, blood pressure 162/77, oxygenation 94% on room air. X-rays of his left pelvis and femur revealed fracture of the left intertrochanter and subtrochanteric fracture with lesser trochanteric fracture intact by 3 cm, less than five degrees angulation. His femoral head was reduced. During his hospital course, the patient was started on a beta blocker, Ace inhibitor, and continued on an aspirin. He was aggressively diuresed with Lasix for diuresis and was treated with vancomycin, Flagyl, and levofloxacin for presumed aspiration pneumonia. He was continued on Lovenox 60 mg subcu. b.i.d. for prophylaxis against DVT post-hip surgery to continue for six months minimal followed by orthopedic surgery, and restarted on oral hypoglycemics prior to discharge in addition to sliding scale insulin. He was discharged on standing 20 mEq of K-Dur q.d., lisinopril 5 mg PO q.d., hold for systolic blood pressure less than 100, Lasix 100 mg PO q.d., Lovenox 60 mg subcu. b.i.d. x6 months, glipizide 2.5 mg PO q.d., sliding scale insulin, Nexium 20 mg PO q.d., Silvadene wet-to-dry dressing, DuoDerm to left lower leg wound and change q.3 days, and Lopressor 12.5 mg PO t.i.d., hold for systolic blood pressure less than 100. He was maintained on Nexium prophylaxis in the setting of his anticoagulation and on two liters of nasal cannula oxygen at the time of transfer to rehab. Upon discharge, he was instructed to follow up with his primary care physician, orthopedic surgery, cardiology, and pulmonary medicine within two weeks, with labs for a metabolic panel, magnesium, and calcium q.o.d. and physical therapy as needed, with a weightbearing status of non-weightbearing on the left lower extremity and weightbearing as tolerated on the right lower extremity.

Has the patient had multiple cough medicine prescriptions

Patient Damion Prehn, a 60 year old male with coronary artery disease, hypertension, and hyperlipidemia, was admitted with increasing shortness of breath and intermediate MIBI as an outpatient in the setting of significant deconditioning and multiple cardiac risk factors. In the ED, his temperature was 98.6, his pulse was 70, his blood pressure was 141/69, and his saturation was 94% on room air. He was given ASA and Keflex for LE cellulitis, and his cardiac markers were negative. A cath revealed Subtotal RCA occlusion, 80% OM, and 50% mid LAD, and Cypher stents were placed in mid RCA to os and wedge elevated.

This 70-year-old woman with no known CAD, cardiac RF: HTN, DM, hyperchol., current tob., H/O PAF on no anticoag 2/2 distant h/o LGIB, a/w palpitations followed by 10 hrs of chest pain was admitted on 1/10/2001 and treated medically with lovenox/integrilin (refused cath) for NSTE MI. In the ED, pain was relieved with NITROGLYCERIN 1/150 (0.4 MG) 1 TAB SL q5min x 3 and SLNG, and 2" NTP. EKG with TWflattening v5-6 but no ST elevations, and CK160, TnI 0.3. During her stay, she was on heparin, integrelin for NSTE MI, ASA, BB, ACEI, statin, nexium, colace, and levofloxacin for UTI, and lovenox for DVT proph. Her blood pressure was titrated to 130-160 and HCTZ was added for better control because her HR was in the 50's, and a repeat echo was done to check for any changes in function. Upon discharge, she will be on ECASA (ASPIRIN ENTERIC COATED) 325 MG PO QD, MICRONASE (GLYBURIDE) 5 MG PO QD, HCTZ (HYDROCHLOROTHIAZIDE) 25 MG PO QD, NITROGLYCERIN 1/150 (0.4 MG) 1 TAB SL q5min x 3, ZOCOR (SIMVASTATIN) 20 MG PO QHS, LEVOFLOXACIN 250 MG PO QD X 4 Days, ZESTRIL (LISINOPRIL) 20 MG PO QD, ATENOLOL 50 MG PO QD Food/Drug Interaction Instruction, PRILOSEC (OMEPRAZOLE) 20 MG PO QD, and POTENTIALLY SERIOUS INTERACTION: POTASSIUM CHLORIDE & LISINOPRIL, POTENTIALLY SERIOUS INTERACTION: HYDROCHLOROTHIAZIDE & OMEPRAZOLE, and SLNG PRN.

Follow up appointments were scheduled with Dr. Truman Thro 1-2 wks, Dr. Stevie Gilani, cardiology, Mon, 1/2/02 1:00 pm, and Bock 0/12/02.

What is has been given for treatment of her nste mi

A 63-year-old male with a history of CAD (Coronary Artery Disease) and two prior MIs (Myocardial Infarctions) presented with atypical chest pain and was admitted with a 100% LCx lesion unable to be stented. He was on medical management with Atenolol, Ace-I, and Aspirin (ECASA) 325 mg PO QD until the day of admission when he woke up with left arm and shoulder pain reminiscent of an old MI. Attempts at relief with nitroglycerin 1/150 (0.4 mg) 1 TAB SL q5min x 3 were unsuccessful, so he called EMS. In the ED, EKG and TnI were flat and he was started on heparin for unstable angina. Serial CKs were flat and he had no recurrence of chest pain in the hospital. He is to follow-up with Dr. Tollner with the possibility of ETT-MIBI as an outpatient. Discharge medications included Wellbutrin (Bupropion HCl) 200 mg PO QD, Colace (Docusate Sodium) 100 mg PO BID, FESO4 (Ferrous Sulfate) 300 mg PO BID, and Zocor (Simvastatin) 40 mg PO QHS. Additional instructions included taking the increased dose of Zestril 10 mg PO QD, making a follow-up appointment with Dr. Cyrus in the next week or two, and returning to the hospital if experiencing an increase in chest pain or shortness of breath at rest. The discharge condition was stable and he was discharged home with instructions to do an ETT-MIBI as an outpatient, check K and Cr within 1-2 weeks, and get a referral to GI and EGD as an outpatient.

This 53 year old Afro-American female was admitted to the Emergency Room in 1987 with acute atypical chest pain and was later diagnosed with dilated cardiomyopathy, hypertension, and asthma. Upon admission, her blood pressure ranged between 170 to 180/100 to 110, and she was prescribed Beclovent 4 puffs b.i.d., Enalapril 4 mg q.d., Diltiazem 360 mg q.d., and Lasix 40 mg b.i.d. Her physical examination revealed a temperature of 97.6, heart rate of 75 and respiratory rate of 12 after Hydralazine. Labs upon admission showed an SMA-7 of 143, 4.1, 102, 28, 20, 1.2, and 93, CBC of 6.3, 46.1, and 280, PT and PTT of 12.5 and 28.4, ALT of 14, AST of 19, LDH of 197, alkaline phosphatase of 77, total bilirubin of .3, total protein of 7.9, albumin of 4.2, globulins of 3.7, calcium of 9.4, phosphate of 4.4, cholesterol of 210, and triglyceride of 67. She underwent cardiac catheterization on hospital day number one, which demonstrated no coronary artery disease, and was started on Diltiazem 180 mg q.d., Lasix 80 mg b.i.d., and Hydralazine 10 mg t.i.d. After Hydralazine, the heart rate was 75 and the respiratory rate was 12. The patient underwent a Captopril Renogram Test which was negative for renal artery stenosis and other hypertension workup Epinephrine, Dopamine, Metanephrine, VMA and ANA are still pending. The patient's blood pressure was well-controlled throughout her hospital visit in the 130/70's and she was discharged on hospital day number five with medications including Diltiazem 180 mg po q.d., Enalapril 10 mg po q.d., Lasix 80 mg b.i.d., and Hydralazine 10 mg t.i.d., as well as one aspirin per day.

has the patient used aspirin in the past

The patient is a 76-year-old female with a history of mitral regurgitation, congestive heart failure, recurrent UTIs, and uterine prolapse who presented with chills and hypotension and was admitted to the Medical ICU for treatment of septic shock. Mean arterial pressures were kept above 65 with Levophed and antibiotics were changed to penicillin 3 million units IV q.4h. and gentamicin 50 mg IV q.8h. An ATEE on 10/19 showed severe mitral regurgitation with posterior leaflet calcifications and linear density concerning for endocarditis, for which a PICC line was placed on 1/19 for a six-week course of penicillin 3 million units IV q.4h. and two-week course of gentamicin 50 mg IV q.8h. until 2/25. The patient was initially treated with Levophed for her hypotension until 11/0, and was placed on Levofloxacin and Vancomycin to treat Gram-positive cocci bacteremia and UTI. She was maintained on telemetry and was found to be a normal sinus rhythm with ectopy, including short once of nonsustained ventricular tachycardia. She was started on Lopressor 12.5 mg t.i.d. on 3/18, and this was increased to 25 mg b.i.d. at discharge, with her heart rates continuing to be between the 70s and the 90s, however, with less episodes of ectopy. Aspirin was given, and Lipitor was initially held for an initial transaminitis presumed to be secondary to shock liver. She had guaiac positive stools in the medical ICU, her hematocrit was stable around 33%, and her iron studies suggested anemia of chronic disease with possibly overlying iron deficiency. She had a normal random cortisol level of 35.3, and her Hemoglobin A1c was 6.5, so she was maintained thereafter only on insulin sliding scale and rarely required any coverage. The patient was kept on Lovenox and Protonix and her DISCHARGE MEDICATIONS include Aspirin 81 mg daily, iron sulfate 325 mg daily, gentamicin sulfate 50 mg IV q.8h. until 2/25 for a two-week course, penicillin G potassium 3 million units IV q.4h. until 0/12 for a six-week course, Lopressor 25 mg b.i.d., Caltrate plus D2 tablets p.o. daily, Lipitor 10 mg daily, and Protonix 40 mg daily. She was discharged to rehabilitation at Acanmingpeerra Virg Tantblu Medical Center in order to be able to get her antibiotic therapy, and her physicians will attempt to add the ACE back onto her medical regimen for better afterload reduction as her blood pressure tolerates, and potentially they will add her back on to the Lasix as well. She will require weekly lab draws to check her electrolytes and CBC while she is on the antibiotics.

What is the reason this patient is on protonix.

The patient is an 83-year-old female with a history of coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) in 1993, a left main and diagonal percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA) with cypher stent, and a bare metal stent in the diagonal for recurrent chest pain. She was admitted for possible myocardial infarction due to anginal pain, however 3 sets of negative cardiac enzymes and no EKG changes ruled this out. She woke up at 5am with substernal epigastric pain, which was unclear if it was angina or esophageal spasm. She took Maalox and 3 nitroglycerin (NTG) with pain that responded to nitro, blood pressure (BP) dropped 140s to 90s but came right back. Admitted medications included ECOTRIN (Aspirin Enteric Coated) 325 mg PO QD, Atenolol 50 mg PO QD, Ferro-Sequels 1 tab PO QD, Lisinopril 30 mg PO QD, Pravachol (Pravastatin) 80 mg PO QHS, Norvasc (Amlodipine) 5 mg PO QD, Imdur ER (Isosorbide Mononitrate (SR)) 120 mg PO QD, Pilocarpine 2% 1 drop OU BID, Bactrim DS (Trimethoprim/Sulfamethoxazole Double Strength) 1 tab PO BID x 12 doses starting today (10/19), Clobetasol Propionate 0.05% Cream TP BID, Allegra (Fexofenadine HCL) 60 mg PO QD, on order for Allegra PO (ref #483093734), Alphagan (Brimonidine Tartrate) 1 drop OU BID, Plavix (Clopidogrel) 75 mg PO QD, Calcium Carbonate 1,500 mg (600 mg elem Ca)/Vit D 200 IU 1 tab PO QD, Zetia (Ezetimibe) 10 mg PO QD, Metformin 250 mg PO BID, Aciphex (Rabeprazole) 20 mg PO QD, and Plavix, BB, ACE, statin, Zetia. Lipid panel was good with total cholesterol 163 and LDL 86 HDL 43. ACE was uptitrated to optimize BP, increased to 30 mg daily with improved BP with SBP in 110s. The patient had a history of anemia and was continued on iron. HCT was stable in low 30s, 32.6 at discharge. The patient was started on Bactrim for 7 days for a urinary tract infection. All other medications were the same. The patient was discharged in stable condition with instructions to monitor BP with uptitration of ACE, take calcium, follow a cardiac and diabetic diet, watch calcium, and take Lovenox and PPI.

Has the patient ever tried bactrim

Upon discharge, the patient was given a Full Code status and was sent Home with a follow up appointment with Sandler on 11/28/02. The patient also underwent cardiac catheterization and stent placement of RCA with the medications Heparin, ASA, Plavix, Metoprolol, nitrates, ACE-I, statin, lasix, and nebs for wheezing, and was monitored for lytes. Upon discharge, the patient was stable and advised to follow up with Dr. Lidstone and Dr. Darlin for post-cath management and overall management of CHF and flash pulmonary edema.

has there been a prior glyburide

This 57-year-old female with a distant history of ovarian cancer, rheumatoid arthritis with systemic lupus erythematosus features, and history of TTP, status post splenectomy, was admitted with fever, shortness of breath, and pleuritic chest pain. She was initially given cefuroxime and levofloxacin in the emergency department for a presumed community acquired pneumonia, as well as Lasix. Her medications included diltiazem 240 mg a day, lisinopril 40 mg a day, Naprosyn 500 mg b.i.d., NPH insulin 24 units subcutaneously q.a.m., Entex-LA, and Cardizem-CD 240 mg p.o. q.d. She underwent thoracentesis and multiple bilateral therapeutic pleuracentesis, and was diuresed aggressively with Lasix, with her oxygen requirement being down from initially 5 to 6 liters per nasal cannula prior to discharge. A continuous Doppler wave form was found and she underwent abdominal CT scan, which did not show any evidence of venous or lymphatic obstruction. Initially, she was started on cefuroxime and azithromycin by the General Medicine team, and her Legionella urine antigen became positive and levofloxacin was added given recommendations from the Infectious Disease Service. She was off of O2 except that she had desaturations to 86% with ambulation, therefore, she was discharged home with p.r.n. oxygen, on Lasix 80 mg b.i.d., insulin sliding scale, lisinopril 40 mg a day, and Cardizem-CD 240 mg p.o. q.d. and levofloxacin 500 mg times 14 days. An elevated platelet count up to 800 and an elevated CA-125 level was discussed with her GYN oncologist, and she was to follow-up with her doctor in one week.

The patient is a 54-year-old man with nonischemic dilated cardiomyopathy who presents with weight gain, weakness, and azotemia. He was admitted with decompensated heart failure and was treated with dobutamine, seretide, and diuretics with good effect, functioning on ACE inhibitor. Two weeks prior to presentation, Digoxin 0.125 mg q.o.d., Imdur 30 mg q.d., hydralazine 25 mg t.i.d., torsemide was being held, Coumadin 1 mg q.d., carvedilol 3.125 mg b.i.d., allopurinol 100 mg q.d., Glucophage, and glyburide were administered. On 2/19/03, Diuril was added to his regimen and his creatinine was noted to increase from 2.6 to 3.6 and diuretics were subsequently held. The patient was loaded on amiodarone, unfortunately still required low dose dobutamine to maintain his cardiac output and was transferred back to the floor and continued to have decrease urine output on maximal diuretic doses and ionotropes. On 6/8/03, the renal surgery recommended that the dobutamine be stopped in order to enhance renal perfusion and Lasix be increased to 80 mg per hour. He has beyond less invasive measures such as digoxin and ACE inhibitors, and he is now dobutamine dependent dobutamine between 1 and 2.5 mcg/kg/minute to maintain his cardiac output, currently loaded on amiodarone without any further events. He has a chronic osteomyelitis, currently in a six-week course of ceftazidime, vancomycin, Flagyl, and Diflucan for complicated osteomyelitis, end date is on 2/30/03. He has diabetes and was on oral hypoglycemic as an outpatient, however, now this renal function, he has been transitioned over to insulin with his standing doses of Lantus with a lispro sliding scale. The patient was started on TPN for quite severe malnutrition and has increasing albumin with increased appetite. Additionally, he is on maintenance doses of hydrocortisone and was seen by Psychiatry, who suggested starting low dose of Zyprexa in the evening, which has greatly improved his mood. He is planned to be evaluated by Plastic Surgery prior to discharge for final plans whether a flap or healing by secondary retention. The patient currently is stable and would be discharged with home dobutamine and frequent and careful follow up by his primary cardiologist Dr. Mongiovi.

What medications have been previously used for the treatment of severe tr

A 83 year old female with hereditary angioedema was admitted to the hospital with abdominal pain which was not relieved by Stanazolol, and she had diarrhea, nausea/vomiting, sweats, and decreased PO intake. She was given 6 units FFP with premedication of IV Benadryl on the first night of her hospitalization, Stanazolol 4 mg q4h overnight, which was changed to bid on second hospital day, Zantac, and Lovenox. The patient was maintained on Acetylsalicylic Acid 81 mg PO qd, Vit C 500 mg PO bid, Atenolol 75 mg PO qd, hold if sbp <100 or hr <60, Digoxin 0.125 mg PO qod (Sun, Tues, Thurs), Potentially serious interaction: Digoxin & Levothyroxine Sodium, Vit E 400 units PO qd, Pepcid 20 mg PO qd, Colace 100 mg PO bid PRN constipation, Senna Tablets 2 tab PO bid PRN constipation, Lasix 20 mg PO qd, Keflex 500 mg PO qid x 28 doses, and on order for Synthroid PO (ref. #66804792), Lasix PO (ref. #91042032), and Keflex PO (ref. #63524947). She was also continued on her home dose of Synthroid, Rhinocort (Budesonide Nasal Inhaler) 2 spray na bid, and Allegra (Fexofenadine HCl) 60 mg PO bid. She was discharged with instructions to follow up with allergy and to call her doctor if she develops fevers, worsening of her abdominal pain, or other concerning symptoms. Follow up appointments were made with Dr. Morrell and Dr. Guadagnolo or Dr. Yoes for 1-2 weeks.

Is the patient currently or have they ever taken synthroid (levothyroxine sodium)

Mr. Mauras is a 72-year-old man with history of stable angina, type 2 diabetes, peripheral vascular disease, former smoking history, and history of seizure disorder with cataracts. He had occasional anginal symptoms prior to discharge and took about two nitroglycerins per week. Over the past week, he had escalating chest pain requiring one nitroglycerin per day. The pain was relieved by rest and nitroglycerin. One week prior to admission, his digoxin was stopped and his amiodarone was decreased. His Plavix was stopped and his Coumadin was held. On the morning of admission, he had chest pain and received Lopressor, Enalapril, Lovenox treatment dose and a Plavix load in the ED. He was found to have flash pulmonary edema and in atrial fibrillation with rapid ventricular response and was taken back to the catheterization lab and given four stents to his saphenous vein graft, OM1 with good resolution of his symptoms. He was transferred to the floor and was given an amiodarone load given his ejection fraction and increased ectopy on telemetry. His troponin had been trended down to the 0.2s by discharge and his beta-blocker and ACE inhibitor were titrated to heart rate and blood pressure. Prior to anticipated discharge, he re-developed flash pulmonary edema secondary to atrial fibrillation with rapid ventricular response and was re-loaded with digoxin. He was started on Mucomyst precath with good effect, had a difficult-to-place Foley, and was started on Flomax with good effect. His creatinine on discharge was 1.2, his metformin was held, and he was continued on Lantus with sliding scale insulin. He was given three units of packed red blood cells given his history of CAD and was prescribed with Amiodarone 200 mg, Enteric-coated aspirin 325 mg, Librium 10 mg, Colace 200 mg, Ferrous gluconate 324 mg, Lasix 40 mg, Nitroglycerin one tab, Dilantin 100 mg, Senna two tabs, Coumadin 3 mg, Lipitor 80 mg, Flomax 0.4 mg, Plavix 75 mg, Lantus 14 units, Metformin 500 mg, Ranitidine 150 mg, Digoxin 0.125 mg, Enalapril 10 mg, and Atenolol 50 mg, with follow-up appointments with his PCP, Dr. Kelley Hernon of Electrophysiology on 7/8/05, and Dr. Daft on 9/20/05, and INR checked on 8/4/05 or 7/8/05 with Coumadin adjusted accordingly.

Is the patient currently or have they ever taken atenolol

This 90+-year-old male with a complex past medical history including CAD, CHF, AF and diabetes mellitus presented to the SICU for removal of chronically MRSA-infected mesh from prior abdominal surgery. He was intubated with etomidate, succinylcholine and kept sedated with Versed and fentanyl. He received intraoperative vancomycin and levofloxacin as well as 2200 mL of lactated Ringer's. In an attempt to reverse anticoagulation, one unit of FFP was begun but then aborted due to hypotension, which resolved with epinephrine injection, likely due to transfusion reaction. Another unit of FFP was administered, with platelets also given at the request of the Plastic Surgery Team in light of aspirin and Plavix, which were continued due to the patient's cardiac stents. Despite bolus Lasix, the patient did develop CHF with symptomatic pulmonary edema and increased oxygen requirement, concomitantly becoming delirious. He developed hypertension refractory to beta-blockade, calcium channel blockers and IV ACE inhibitors, and was thus placed on a nitroglycerin drip, a furosemide drip with ginger blood product resuscitation to address bleeding and an elevated INR, responding well to this regimen and aggressive pulmonary toilet. The patient was advanced to clear liquids, on medications including Amiodarone 200 mg p.o. daily, Calcium, Colace 100 mg by mouth t.i.d., Coumadin alternating doses of 4 mg and 3 mg, Diltiazem CD 360 mg p.o. daily, Aspirin 81 mg p.o. daily, Folate 1 mg p.o. daily, Lisinopril 10 mg p.o. daily, Metamucil p.r.n., Clopidogrel 75 mg p.o. daily, Potassium, Protonix 40 mg p.o. daily, Simvastatin 80 mg p.o. daily, Synthroid 25 mcg p.o. daily, Thiamine 100 mg p.o. daily, Metoprolol SR 100 mg p.o. b.i.d., Zyprexa 2.5 mg at bedtime p.r.n., and Vancomycin for MRSA-infected mesh. He does experience more significant delirium with morphine and less so with sparing Dilaudid p.r.n., and Haldol is written p.r.n. as needed. Weaning off nitroglycerin drip, nitro paste added, hematocrit 25%, one unit of packed red blood cells with Lasix and potassium to be given, RISS, and PICC line consult ordered for anticipated long-term vancomycin. Services following the patient include Medicine, Dr. Harcar, patient's PCP, Cardiology, Dr. Pagliari, and Plastic Surgery, Dr. Dunshie. Patient anticipated to be transferred to the floor on 9/28/06.

Has this patient ever tried fentanyl.

The patient is a 61-year-old man with a history of ischemic cardiomyopathy and congestive heart failure, who was initially treated with afterload reduction, digoxin and Lasix. A PA line was placed with RA 8, RV 76/4, TA 80/36, pulmonary capillary wedge pressure 34, and cardiac index 1.49. He was then treated with dobutamine, intravenous TNG, and nitroprusside with symptomatic relief and hemodynamic stabilization with wedge pressure falling to 18. TNG and Nipride were successfully weaned, however, the patient remained dobutamine dependent. One week prior to transfer, the patient was admitted to Ment Hospital for management of his congestive heart failure and grew gram positive cocci from two blood cultures. He was then started on vancomycin and defervesced, and subsequently grew gram negative rods in one out of four blood culture specimens. These were gram negative enteric rods, pan-sensitive, for which the patient was started on ampicillin 2 gm IV q. 6. At the time of discharge, the patient was stable, dobutamine dependent, without chest pain, able to ambulate from chair to commode without shortness of breath, palpitations, or light-headedness. His medications at time of discharge included dobutamine at 15 mcg per kilogram per minute; captopril 25 mg p.o. t.i.d.; digoxin 0.125 mg p.o. q.d.; Lasix 160 mg p.o. b.i.d.; potassium chloride 20 mEq p.o. b.i.d.; Coumadin 1 mg p.o. q.d.; Atrovent, two puffs q.i.d.; Azmacort, eight puffs b.i.d.; Pepcid 20 mg p.o. b.i.d.; Colace 100 mg p.o. t.i.d.; vancomycin 1 gm q. 12, discontinued 9-23 a.m. after 14 days; ampicillin 2 gm IV q. 6 (24 of June equals day number five); Halcion 0.125 p.o. q.h.s. prn; Serax 15 mg p.o. q. 6 hours prn. The patient's condition at time of discharge is fair and will be continuing care in the coronary care unit of the hospital inpatient near patient's home under the care of Doctor Daren Swasey.

Has the patient ever been on potassium chloride

The patient, a 72-year-old male, was admitted for an incarcerated chronic ventral hernia post sigmoid colectomy, colostomy, and Hartmann's operation. His hospital course was complicated by postoperative acute respiratory failure, respiratory acidosis with metabolic acidosis, pleural effusion, hypokalemia, myocardial infarction, thrombocytopenia, and delirium. He had a known history of penile cancer status post penectomy complicated by perineal urethrocutaneous fistula, chronic anemia requiring transfusions, non-insulin-dependant diabetes, hypertension, hypercholesterolemia, obesity, and recurrent UTIs. He was given a suprapubic catheter placed by Urology and was started on TPN after a PICC line was placed. He was scoped by GI on 6/20/07, which showed diffuse gastritis thought to be due to the NG tube, and two ulcers turned out to be bleeding. His discharge medications included Tylenol 325 to 650 mg p.o. q.4 h. p.r.n. pain, DuoNeb 3/0.5 mg q.6 h. p.r.n., amiodarone 400 mg p.o. b.i.d. for six more days and then 400 mg p.o. daily, hold for systolic less than 90, heart rate less than 55, econazole nitrate topical daily, heparin 5000 units subcutaneously q.12 h., Regular Insulin sliding scale subcutaneously q.6 h., Imodium A-D 2 mg p.o. b.i.d., metoclopramide 10 mg p.o. q.i.d., Lopressor 50 mg p.o. q.6 h., hold for systolic less than 90, heart rate less than 55, omeprazole 40 mg p.o. b.i.d., oxycodone 1 mg per 1 mL solution for a total of 5 mg p.o. q.4 h. p.r.n. pain, Carafate 1 gm p.o. q.i.d., and Ambien 2.5 mg p.o. nightly. He was not anti-coagulated for his Atrial Fibrillation due to his risk of GI bleeding, as decided by GI. He was discharged on TPN as his total caloric needs were still not being met by p.o. nutrition and he was in good condition on discharge.

Has the patient ever been on imodium a-d

The patient is a 62-year-old white male with a long-standing hypotension of 30 to 40 mmHg who is treated with hypoglycemics and has a significant history of diabetes of 20 years without neurological or retinopathy. He also has a positive family history of cardiac risk factors and denies cigarettes. He had a percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty at the Ribush Bassta Syark Hospital in 1985 and has had rule outs for myocardial infarction since, with the last one approximately in 1990 at Dormro General Hospital. At 1:00 a.m., the patient had recurrent chest pain and took four to five Nitroglycerins without relief and was front-loaded with TPA, Heparin, Aspirin, Morphine sulfate, and Nifedipine. The patient was placed on an intra-aortic balloon pump in preparation for coronary artery bypass surgery and was discharged on prophylactic anticoagulation with Coumadin, taking Diltiazem 60 t.i.d., Glyburide, and Lisinopril 20 PO q.day. The patient had a coronary artery bypass graft x three with a saphenous vein graft to the LAD, first branch of the obtuse marginal and the posterior descending artery. On postoperative day #3, the patient had atrial fibrillation which was treated and controlled pharmacologically, and he was requested to follow-up with Dr. Schoening in 6 weeks and his cardiologist in 2 weeks.

What medications have been previously used for the treatment of diabetes

This 74-year-old gentleman with insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus, hypertension, and coronary artery disease presented with substernal chest pain on exertion and was admitted with T wave inversions in leads V3 and V4. Cardiac cath showed a 95% ostial LAD lesion, a 60% mid LAD lesion, an 80% distal LAD lesion, a 70% proximal D1 lesion, a 40% proximal circumflex lesion, a 90% ostial OM1 lesion, and a 100% proximal RCA lesion; he underwent CABG x3 with a Y graft, SVG1 connecting SVG2 to the LAD, SVG2 connecting the aorta to OM1, and SVG3 connecting to PDA. The patient is a Spanish-speaking only male who is neurologically intact, moving all extremities, getting in and out of bed, and very independent. He had a ventricular fibrillation arrest in the operating room due to an aprotinin reaction, necessitating open cardiac massage and requiring lidocaine and amiodarone use during the code. Medication on admission included Lopressor 50 mg p.o. t.i.d., Lisinopril 40 mg p.o. daily, Aspirin 325 mg p.o. daily, Hydrochlorothiazide/triamterene one tablet daily, Atorvastatin 80 mg p.o. daily, and Lantus 50 cc daily. The patient developed a deep sternal infection with E. coli and was started on Flagyl and Vancomycin for presumed aspiration pneumonia, Imipenem for ID's recommendation, and Nitrofurantoin and Ceftazidime for UTI. He is on Lopressor 25 mg q.6h, Amlodipine 5 mg b.i.d., Lasix 20 mg p.o. b.i.d., Aspirin, Atorvastatin, Lantus, NovoLog, and Diabetes Management. Imipenem and Vancomycin need to be continued for six weeks. He had a small area of erythema on his chest wound, but it is intact and he is being followed by Plastics. He had one brief episode of atrial fibrillation during a coughing spell, but it resolved and he is on antihypertensive medication. He was deemed fit for transfer back to the Step-Down Unit on postoperative day #18.

The patient was admitted on 5/5/2006 with a history of mechanical fall, with the attending physician being Dr. Clemente Armand Bolstad, with a full code status and disposition of Rehabilitation. Medications on Admission included Amiodarone 100 QD, Colace 100 bid, lasix 40mg QD, Glyburide 5mg bid, Plaquenil 200mg bid, Isordil 20mg tid, Lisinopril 20mg QD, Coumadin 5mg 3dys/week, 2.5mg 4dys/week, Norvasc 10mg QD, Neurontin 300mg TID, with APAP prn. An override was added on 10/2/06 by Gerad E. Dancy, PA for POTENTIALLY SERIOUS INTERACTION: AMIODARONE HCL & WARFARIN with the reason for override being monitoring. The patient was rehydrated with IVF and PO's were encouraged, holding Glypizide while in house, Novolog sliding scale was started on 1/2, Low dose NPH 6 units BID was started on 1/2, bridged with lovenox and INR therapeutic 1/2 and restarted on home regimen of 5/2.5mg variable dose. Pain was controlled with TYLENOL (ACETAMINOPHEN) 650 MG PO Q4H PRN Pain, Headache. A CT pelvis showed a right adnexal cyst which will need further characterization by US and outpatient follow up. The patient has an extensive cardiac history and the fall is not likely related to a cardiac issue as it appears mechanical, with no syncope, chest pain, etc. She was diagnosed with an NSTEMI with a small TnI leak, likely demand related in the setting of hypovolemia and the fall. Enzymes trended down. She was dry on admission and rehydrated with IVF, PO's encouraged, and became euvolemic by 1/2. Her JVP was up to 12cm, although it was difficult to gauge her volume status due to TR. She had a prolonged QT on admission, on telemetry, of unclear etiology, possibly starvation. This was monitored on telemetry until ROMI and drugs that confound were avoided. The QTc resolved to low 500s and a DDD pacer was functioning with V-pacing at 60bpm.

What medications has this patient tried for constipation

This 74-year-old gentleman with insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus, hypertension, and coronary artery disease presented with substernal chest pain on exertion and was admitted with T wave inversions in leads V3 and V4. Cardiac cath showed a 95% ostial LAD lesion, a 60% mid LAD lesion, an 80% distal LAD lesion, a 70% proximal D1 lesion, a 40% proximal circumflex lesion, a 90% ostial OM1 lesion, and a 100% proximal RCA lesion; he underwent CABG x3 with a Y graft, SVG1 connecting SVG2 to the LAD, SVG2 connecting the aorta to OM1, and SVG3 connecting to PDA. The patient is a Spanish-speaking only male who is neurologically intact, moving all extremities, getting in and out of bed, and very independent. He had a ventricular fibrillation arrest in the operating room due to an aprotinin reaction, necessitating open cardiac massage and requiring lidocaine and amiodarone use during the code. Medication on admission included Lopressor 50 mg p.o. t.i.d., Lisinopril 40 mg p.o. daily, Aspirin 325 mg p.o. daily, Hydrochlorothiazide/triamterene one tablet daily, Atorvastatin 80 mg p.o. daily, and Lantus 50 cc daily. The patient developed a deep sternal infection with E. coli and was started on Flagyl and Vancomycin for presumed aspiration pneumonia, Imipenem for ID's recommendation, and Nitrofurantoin and Ceftazidime for UTI. He is on Lopressor 25 mg q.6h, Amlodipine 5 mg b.i.d., Lasix 20 mg p.o. b.i.d., Aspirin, Atorvastatin, Lantus, NovoLog, and Diabetes Management. Imipenem and Vancomycin need to be continued for six weeks. He had a small area of erythema on his chest wound, but it is intact and he is being followed by Plastics. He had one brief episode of atrial fibrillation during a coughing spell, but it resolved and he is on antihypertensive medication. He was deemed fit for transfer back to the Step-Down Unit on postoperative day #18.

How much ceftriaxone does the patient take per day

Ms. Dozois is a 64-year-old female admitted to MICU on 2/19/2005 for neutropenia, nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, and shortness of breath, requiring intubation and pressors. Her medical problems included severe COPD (on home O2 2 liters baseline sat below 90s), nonsmall cell lung cancer (diagnosed in 1999, status post multiple chemotherapy regimens, most recently ALIMTA from 1/29/2005 to 09), diabetes, obesity, and chronic renal insufficiency. Her MEDICATIONS ON ADMISSION included Avapro, Lipitor, Decadron, ranitidine, Humalog, allopurinol, Alimta, Flonase, Vitamin D, B12, and Colace. She was initially treated with vancomycin, Levaquin, and aztreonam along with Flagyl empirically, and later changed to Levaquin only on 10/25/2005 to treat an enterococcal UTI and possible nosocomial pneumonia. She had thrombocytopenia and required multiple red blood transfusions to maintain her hematocrit greater than 26, though she was never hemodynamically unstable. She also required multiple platelet transfusions to keep her platelets greater than 30,000. She responded well initially to three units of packed red blood cells over 7/28/2005 and 09. However, in the setting of her GI bleed from a sloughing mucosa secondary to resolving neutropenic enteritis and recent chemo, she required multiple further RBC transfusions to keep her hematocrit greater than 30. Hematology was consulted secondary to suboptimal busted platelet levels status post transfusions, which was felt to be secondary to poor marrow response in the setting of recent chemo (workup was negative for other possible causes refractory thrombocytopenia, nystatin, allopurinol, were held given possible worsening of her thrombocytopenia). Surgery was consulted and she was managed conservatively with antibiotics initially and then with bowel rest. TPN was started on 4/21/2005, given her bowel rest for a neutropenic enteritis. She was changed to standing insulin on 10/25/2005 and her Lantus was up titrated along with sliding scale insulin to maintain blood sugars in the 80s to 120s. She is no longer neutropenic and was off Neupogen for one week and will stay and finish the 14-day course of Levaquin for coverage. On discharge her hematocrit and platelets were stable respectively at 29.8 and 46,000 and she had not required a transfusion in greater than 24 hours prior to discharge. Her DISCHARGE MEDICATIONS included Tylenol 650 to 1000 mg PO q. 6h PRN pain, headache, if fever is greater than 101, Peridex mouth wash 10 mL twice a day, nystatin mouth wash 10 mL swish and swallow 4 x day as needed, oxycodone 5 mg PO q. 6h PRN pain, simethicone 80 mg PO q.i.d. PRN gaseousness, trazodone 25 mg PO at bedtime, miconazole nitrate 2% powder topical BID to areas between skin folds including under the right breast, Nexium 20 mg PO daily, Lantus 30 mg subcutaneous daily, DuoNeb 3/0.5 mg Nebs q. 3 h. PRN shortness of breath, aspart 4 units before each meal subcutaneously, folate 3 mg PO daily, Avapro 150 mg PO daily, meclizine 25 mg PO TID, Combivent 2 puffs inhaled q.i.d., Vitamin D 125 0.25 mcg PO daily. She will follow up with infectious disease and hematology for her neutropenia, which has since resolved, and will stay and finish the 14-day course of Levaquin for UTI coverage.

Has this patient ever been on simethicone

This is a 59-year-old female with a history of rheumatic heart disease, endocarditis, diabetes mellitus, hypertension, and congestive heart failure who presented with increasing shortness of breath, nausea, vomiting, and abdominal pain. She was given recent Levaquin for an upper respiratory tract infection, then started on Flagyl for a possible C. difficile infection and was diuresed with IV Lasix with good output per report. She complained of 10/10 abdominal pain and was given some Dilaudid. Her hematocrit at one point required two units of packed red blood cells, and she was placed on a heparin drip at 950 units per hour to maintain a PTT between 60 and 80 secondary to atrial fibrillation that has been rate controlled with a beta-blocker. She was discharged on diltiazem 30 mg q.i.d. and a normal dosing of Nexium 40 mg p.o. q.d. while in-house.

This is a 47-year-old female with a history of HIV, diabetes, questionable cerebral aneurysm, and seizure disorder who recently had two syncopal events without prodrome and without postictal state, who presented for evaluation of left arm paresthesias and chest pain, with associated diaphoresis, shortness of breath and nausea. Of note, the patient recently started Flexeril to treat chronic low back pain, was not receiving her Keppra for approximately a year, as her prescription had ran out, and was instead taking Ecotrin 81 mg daily, clonazepam 1 mg q.6 h. p.r.n., Imodium one to two tablets q.i.d. p.r.n. for diarrhea, and low-dose aspirin. The patient was started on low-dose beta-blocker and aspirin, metoprolol 12.5 b.i.d. with occasional bradycardia to the high 40's, and was treated with the Ryo Hospital Medical Center insulin protocol. The patient was restarted on Keppra 250 mg b.i.d. with a goal to increase to 500 mg b.i.d. after 7 days and to 750 mg after another week, and was given Keppra 500 mg b.i.d. for 14 doses and then 750 mg b.i.d., Flexeril 5 mg daily, clonazepam 1 mg q.i.d., Truvada one tablet p.o. daily, Norvir 1400 mg b.i.d., glyburide 5 mg q.a.m. and 2.5 mg q.p.m., Lomotil one tablet q.i.d. p.r.n., methadone 150 mg daily, Zofran 4 mg daily p.r.n., Percocet 325 mg/5 mg tablets one tablet q.6 h. p.r.n., Zantac 150 mg b.i.d., Zoloft 100 mg q.a.m., and trazodone 100 mg nightly. Labs revealed a low reticulocyte index consistent with anemia of chronic disease, and the methadone dose of 155 mg was confirmed with the outpatient clinic. The patient was also given three doses of Klonopin over a six-day period, instructed to take medications as listed, clarify discrepancies with her PCP, return to the ER for evaluation if she faints again, call her PCP and/or return to the ER if her chest pain symptoms recur and persist, make an appointment with the Smill Memorial Hospital to evaluate the cause of her left arm symptoms, and check her blood sugars before meals and at bedtime. Additionally, her PCP was instructed to arrange for a loop monitor, follow up on a 24-hour urine studies assessing for pheochromocytoma, and adjust the patient's diabetes management as needed.

What medications, if any, has the patient tried for chronic low back pain in the past

This 75-year-old female vasculopath was admitted for further evaluation of her peripheral vascular disease which was suspected to be contributing to her new ulcerations and progressively worsening bilateral foot pain, foot mottling and wrist pain as an exacerbating factor to likely atheroembolic phenomenon, status post coronary catheterizations earlier in the year. She was placed on broad-spectrum antibiotics and plan was made for an MRA to evaluate her anatomy, unfortunately, the patient was unable to tolerate the MR and did experience some mental status changes that prevented further noninvasive imaging when she received some narcotic following her hemodialysis round. Over the ensuing days she required rather significant doses of Zyprexa and Haldol to contain agitation and delirium, as the patient would also get physical and violent. This appeared to sedate her sufficiently and over the following days, she did manage to calm significantly and returned to her baseline mental status. Cardiology was consulted during this time to optimize her prior to the OR and her primary cardiologist, Dr. Fugle, did make some recommendations including an echocardiogram that showed preserved ejection fraction and no wall motion abnormalities. Her beta blockade was titrated up and she was instructed to follow up with cardiology. She did tolerate hemodialysis throughout this time without undue difficulty and they offered an angiogram to delineate aortic and bilateral lower extremity runoff anatomy. After extensive discussions with the patient and the patient's family, the patient did agree to a left femoral to dorsalis pedis bypass graft which was performed on 0/25/2006 without complication. By time of discharge, she was tolerating a regular diet and ambulating at baseline with her rolling walker. The pain was well controlled with minimal analgesics that were not narcotic based. Medications on admission included Aspirin 325 mg p.o. daily, Plavix 75 mg p.o. daily, Cardizem 60 mg p.o. t.i.d., Lipitor 80 mg daily, Atrovent 2 puffs four times a day, Albuterol 2 puffs b.i.d., Renagel 806 mg p.o. every meal, Allopurinol 100 mg p.o. daily, Zaroxylyn 2.5 mg p.o. daily p.r.n. overload, Lantus 10 units subcutaneous nightly, Regular insulin sliding scale, Valium 5 mg p.o. b.i.d. p.r.n., Isordil 40 mg p.o. t.i.d., Hydralazine 20 mg p.o. t.i.d., Lopressor 75 mg p.o. t.i.d., Zantac 150 mg p.o. b.i.d., Aciphex 20 mg p.o. daily, Neurontin 300 mg p.o. post-dialysis, Metamucil, Nitroglycerine p.r.n., Procrit 40,000 units subcutaneously every week, Lilly insulin pen, unknown dosage 20 units every morning and 10 units every evening, Loperamide 2 tabs p.o. four times a day, Ambien 10 mg p.o. nightly p.r.n., Tylenol 325 mg p.o. every four hours p.r.n. pain, Albuterol inhaler 2 puffs b.i.d., Calcitriol 1.5 mcg p.o. every Monday and every Friday, Darbepoetin alfa 100 mcg subcutaneous every week, Ferrous sulfate 325 mg p.o. t.i.d., Prozac 40 mg p.o. daily, Motrin 400 mg p.o. every eight hours p.r.n. pain, Insulin regular sliding scale, and Sevelamer 800 mg p.o. t.i.d.

Has the patient ever been on prilosec ( omeprazole )

This 75-year-old female vasculopath was admitted for further evaluation of her peripheral vascular disease which was suspected to be contributing to her new ulcerations and progressively worsening bilateral foot pain, foot mottling and wrist pain as an exacerbating factor to likely atheroembolic phenomenon, status post coronary catheterizations earlier in the year. She was placed on broad-spectrum antibiotics and plan was made for an MRA to evaluate her anatomy, unfortunately, the patient was unable to tolerate the MR and did experience some mental status changes that prevented further noninvasive imaging when she received some narcotic following her hemodialysis round. Over the ensuing days she required rather significant doses of Zyprexa and Haldol to contain agitation and delirium, as the patient would also get physical and violent. This appeared to sedate her sufficiently and over the following days, she did manage to calm significantly and returned to her baseline mental status. Cardiology was consulted during this time to optimize her prior to the OR and her primary cardiologist, Dr. Fugle, did make some recommendations including an echocardiogram that showed preserved ejection fraction and no wall motion abnormalities. Her beta blockade was titrated up and she was instructed to follow up with cardiology. She did tolerate hemodialysis throughout this time without undue difficulty and they offered an angiogram to delineate aortic and bilateral lower extremity runoff anatomy. After extensive discussions with the patient and the patient's family, the patient did agree to a left femoral to dorsalis pedis bypass graft which was performed on 0/25/2006 without complication. By time of discharge, she was tolerating a regular diet and ambulating at baseline with her rolling walker. The pain was well controlled with minimal analgesics that were not narcotic based. Medications on admission included Aspirin 325 mg p.o. daily, Plavix 75 mg p.o. daily, Cardizem 60 mg p.o. t.i.d., Lipitor 80 mg daily, Atrovent 2 puffs four times a day, Albuterol 2 puffs b.i.d., Renagel 806 mg p.o. every meal, Allopurinol 100 mg p.o. daily, Zaroxylyn 2.5 mg p.o. daily p.r.n. overload, Lantus 10 units subcutaneous nightly, Regular insulin sliding scale, Valium 5 mg p.o. b.i.d. p.r.n., Isordil 40 mg p.o. t.i.d., Hydralazine 20 mg p.o. t.i.d., Lopressor 75 mg p.o. t.i.d., Zantac 150 mg p.o. b.i.d., Aciphex 20 mg p.o. daily, Neurontin 300 mg p.o. post-dialysis, Metamucil, Nitroglycerine p.r.n., Procrit 40,000 units subcutaneously every week, Lilly insulin pen, unknown dosage 20 units every morning and 10 units every evening, Loperamide 2 tabs p.o. four times a day, Ambien 10 mg p.o. nightly p.r.n., Tylenol 325 mg p.o. every four hours p.r.n. pain, Albuterol inhaler 2 puffs b.i.d., Calcitriol 1.5 mcg p.o. every Monday and every Friday, Darbepoetin alfa 100 mcg subcutaneous every week, Ferrous sulfate 325 mg p.o. t.i.d., Prozac 40 mg p.o. daily, Motrin 400 mg p.o. every eight hours p.r.n. pain, Insulin regular sliding scale, and Sevelamer 800 mg p.o. t.i.d.

Has this patient ever been on heparin

A 66-year-old gentleman with a medical history significant for coronary artery disease and two prior MIs presented with substernal chest pain while walking that lasted 2-3 hours and was relieved by rest and sublingual nitroglycerin. He was admitted and cardiac catheterization revealed 90% proximal LAD stenosis, 90% mid LAD and 100% distal LAD stenosis, 100% mid LVB1, 80% mid circumflex, 70% proximal D1, 70% proximal PDA, and a right dominant circulation, with diffuse coronary calcification and extensive diffuse disease with small distal vessels. LAD in stent restenosis and collateral flow diffusely small left main. On 4/15/05, the patient underwent CABG x4 with SVG1 to RCA, and sequential graft of SVG2 to D1 and then OM1, with LIMA to LAD and an LAD endarterectomy. On arrival to the hospital, he was given 150 mg of Plavix, heparin 500 units for 48 hours, and aspirin that same night.

Has the pt. ever been on enteric-coated aspirin before

A 69-year-old female with a history of coronary disease status post prior myocardial infarction and surgery in 2002 presented to R.healt Medical Center Emergency Department on 10/9/05 with three days of chest pain and shortness of breath. Of note, she had been noncompliant with prior regimens and treatments and despite diuretics started three days by her primary care physician she reported new shortness of breath and chest pain at rest. An EKG in the emergency department revealed widespread ST depressions, prompting treatment for pulmonary edema with IV nitroglycerin, Lasix, aspirin, heparin, beta-blockers, and urgent transfer to the cath lab where coronary angiography revealed a left main coronary artery thrombosis with proximal and distal stenoses of about 70%, 50% of her LAD, and 60% of her first diagonal. After placement of an intraaortic balloon pump for further management and evaluation, the patient was transferred to the coronary care unit and her home medications included Aspirin, hydralazine, nitroglycerin, quinine, Norvasc, Lasix, Toprol, lisinopril, albuterol, and famotidine. Despite treatment, her condition continued to deteriorate, necessitating an exploratory laparotomy and emergent intubation, and ultimately, the family decided to withdraw care on 11/12/05 at 2:20 a.m., leading to her death at 2:24 a.m. the same day.
