During her hospitalization with us, discussed advanced dementia, patient's failure to thrive/weight loss. Ultimately, decision was made by family to focus on patient's comfort, and in particular reiterated that they would not want a feeding tube placed. We discussed that that was consistent with geriatric society recommendations: "feeding tubes are not recommended for older adults with advanced dementia. Careful hand feeding should be offered because hand feeding has been shown to be as good as tube feeding for the outcomes of death, aspiration pneumonia, functional status, and comfort. Moreover, tube feeding is associated with agitation, greater use of physical and chemical restraints, healthcare use due to tube-related complications, and development of new pressure ulcers." Family met with ___, and will be discharged on hospice for advanced dementia. # Hypernatremia Na peaked at 160. Likely secondary to poor PO intake. Resolved with D5W.

[/INST] </s><s>In brief, Mr. ___ is a ___ right-handed woman with a past medical history of hypothyroidism and GERD who presented with recurrent thunderclap headaches was found to have a new left parietal intracranial hemorrhage and mass-effect on the left ventricle and subarachnoid bleed. She was also noted to have a 6 mm aneurysm of the left M1. Presentation is found to be most consistent with reversible cerebral vasoconstriction syndrome. Reversible cerebral vasoconstriction syndromes (RCVS) are a group of conditions characterized by reversible narrowing and dilatation of the cerebral arteries. The cause of this syndrome is unknown, though the reversible nature of the vasoconstriction suggests an abnormality in the control of cerebrovascular tone. RCVS can cause intraparenchymal hemorrhages, subarachnoid hemorrhages and cerebral edema. Several other differential diagnoses were ruled out. An MRI with MRV did not show any evidence of venous thrombus. A cerebral angiography did not show any vascular spasms or vascular malformation. Inflammatory markers were negative making a vasculitis unlikely. A trans-thoracic echocardiogram was negative for any cardioembolic source or evidence of endocarditis. Ms ___ received supportive therapy directed towards managing her intracranial pressure, blood pressure and headaches. She was started on oral calcium channel blockers to treat vasoconstriction (nimodipine and amlodipine). She will finish a 20-day course of nimodipine on ___ and will continue amlodipine. She was started on a prednisone taper which was completed on ___. She was started on lisinopril with a goal blood pressure in the normotensive range. For symptomatic treatment of headaches and neck pain she received Tylenol, lidocaine patches and Flexeril as needed. Zofran was given scheduled to help mitigate nausea associated with taking nimodipine. +++++++++++++++++++++++++ Transitional issues -Continue nimodipine until ___ -Continue amlodipine -Continue other antihypertensive agents -Consider starting a statin if LDL continues to be elevated (here LDL was 155) -Follow up in our stroke clinic -Please call ___ for a Neurosurgery follow-up appointment with Dr. ___ in 3 months. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++ AHA/ASA Core Measures for Intracerebral Hemorrhage 1.

CHEST (PA AND LAT) showed 1. Marked bullous emphysema. 2. Patchy left upper lobe opacity, new in the interval, may reflect infection, however underlying neoplasm cannot be excluded. Additional patchy left lower lobe opacity may reflect additional site of infection or atelectasis. Followup radiographs after treatment are recommended, and if the finding in the left upper lobe persists, dedicated chest CT is suggested. 3. Pulmonary arterial hypertension. CTA CHEST WITH CONTRAST showed 1. Somewhat limited exam due to respiratory motion artifact. No evidence of pulmonary embolism to the segmental levels. 2.

[/INST] </s><s>___ yo M with history of COPD (On ___ O2 at baseline), OSA on CPAP, CAD who presents with subacute agitation and nighttime hallucinations and acute on chronic dyspnea. #Agitation, anxiety, hallucinations: Has several week history of agitation, particularly at night. During first 24 hours in hospital he required 12 mg IV Haldol. Subseuqently his mental status improved and he was calm/alert/oriented, however subsequent exam was notable for pillrolling tremor, masked facies, cogwheeling raising question of Parkinsonism. This diagnosis was particularly interesting given that it could explain central sleep apnea and autonomic dysfunction (hypotension, changes in urinary fx) as well as intermittent agitation and hallucinations. Neurology was consulted and felt that the symptoms of cog-wheeling and pill-rolling were likely related to heavy Haldol exposure on admission. They were concerned for possible REM behavior sleep disorder. It was also possible that progression of his central sleep apnea was causing agitation/delirium particularly at night. A head CT was obtained that showed no bleed but significant small vessel disease. MRI head with and without contrast to evaluate for stroke revealed no acute changes. B12 and TSH were normal. RPR was nonreactive. Given possibility that polypharmacy (esp recent initiation of benzos) was contributing, home benzos were stopped as was home ambien. On HD2 given parkinsonism on exam he was changed from Haldol to Seroquel for agitation. He had no further episodes of agitation and no further notable Parkinsonian symtoms after transfer to the floor. # Leukocytosis # LUL infiltrate Presented with leukocytosis to 36 concerning for acute infectious process, and with LUL opacity c/f PNA on CTA chest. This LUL infiltrate had previously been noted on a ___t OSH. He had no other localizing s/s of infection aside from dysuria (but only 2 WBC on UA) and diarrhea (c diff negative, started after initiating abx). He was treated with ceftriaxone x7 d and azithromycin x 5 d for CAP. Plan was for PET-CT as an outpatient given possibility that LUL infiltrate represented malignancy in this former cigarette smoker. Discussed with radiology - will have to wait 1 month following resolution of PNA to pursue PET scan. #Atrial fibrillation: New diagnosis during this hospitalization, possibly precipitated by infection. He was started on metoprolol, which was uptitrated to provide adequate rate control. Coreg was discontinued. Given his high CHADS2 score, he was also initiated on Apixaban. Aspirin and Plavix were stopped after discussion with his PCP and cardiologist to decrease risk of bleeding while using Apixaban. TTE was done which was limited study but largely unremarkable. #Aniscoria: Patient noted to have aniscoria with possible mild right sided weakness. He underwent CTA head to evaluate for AVM which revealed none. MRI head with and without contrast showed no acute changes. #Lactatemia: #Hypotension: He was hypotensive overnight ___. This was most likely mild hypovolemia from poor intake while delirious and from GI losses (diarrhea). Hypovolemia was further supported by accompanying rise in BUN/Cr. BPs and lactate improved with gentle IVF bolus. #Acute on Chronic Dyspnea: Presentation was consistent with progression of his COPD rather than exacerbation as no clear worsening in dyspnea, no wheeze on exam or change in VBG, slightly worse cough but no new sputum pdt. He was clinically euvolemic pointing against CHF exacerbation. CT negative for PE. Given leukocytosis and LUL CT findings, he was treated for CAP as above. Suspect that anxiety was also contributing to intermittent sensation of dyspnea. He remained stable on his home O2 ___ L NC) throughout his stay. Pt seen by ___ who noted that he desatted to the 70's with ambulation even with O2. Pt noted that this is not far from his baseline given his significant COPD and is insistent on d/c home. Discussed with patient that our recommendations would be for rehab to build up his strength and optimize his pulmonary status prior to going home. Pt refuses rehab and opted for d/c home. #Central sleep apnea: He had an incomplete sleep study in ___ that was most suggestive of a central (rather than obstructive) etiology for sleep apnea. He was fitted for CPAP but did not tolerate the mask, possibly b/c central OSA can be worsened by CPAP. As above he underwent CT head and neurologic eval to help w/u for neuro cause of central sleep apnea. While inpatient he was put on NC rather than cpap at night. Plan is to follow up with ___ (sleep specialist) who saw him inpatient in the FICU regarding his sleep apnea. #Voiding difficulty: Reports sensation of difficulty voiding (sensation that he frequently needs to void but unable to pass urine). This was of unclear chronicity but worse over past few weeks. UA was negative. ___ represent progressive BPH or from neurologic process as above with autonomic dysfunction. NPH unlikely given CT head findings. Started on tamsulosin. </s>

Patient treated with aspirin 650mg TID and colchicine 0.6 BID and will continue these for 2 weeks and 3 months respectively. # Dyspnea: Outpatient CTA noted a small left-sided pleural effusion and patient had persistent dyspnea for 3 weeks. She completed a course of azithromycin and trial doxycycline and augmentin and was started on levofloxacin in the ED. Antibiotics were held and repeat CXR as well as bedside ultrasound did not show any effusion. Dyspnea most likely multifactorial from body habitus, pericardial effusion, and atelectasis. # LFT abnormalities: Patient presented with mild transaminitis with markedly elevated alkaline phosphatase and GGT on admission. RUQ ultrasound showed mild central intrahepatic biliary dilatation and thus, MRCP was performed. This study showed minimal intra and extrahepatic bile duct dilation without any obstructing stones or mass lesions.

Subcutaneous hematoma in the left periorbital and frontotemporal scalp. Evaluation for fracture is limited by motion artifact. NOTE ADDED AT ATTENDING REVIEW: The density in the right caudate, putamen and anterior limb of the internal capsule reflects calcification, rather than hemorrhage. The density is far too high for hemorrhage, there is no mass effect, and no edema. Given the high density of the calcification, it is not possible to exclude a small amount of hemorrhage, but the findings can be entirely explained by calcification. The ED neurosurgery conslut note recognized this as calcification, so Dr. ___ not enter a follow communication about this revised report. Radiology showed No evidence of fracture. Left periorbital and frontotemporal subcutaneous hematoma. Radiology showed 1. No evidence of acute fracture or subluxation within limitations of motion artifact. 2.

She was re-hydrated during that admission and her lasix was held on discharge. Over the subsequent few days she developed worsening edema and called her PCP who restarted lasix. . []ACTIVE ISSUES: # DOE: During this admission, her DOE was thought to be multifactorial, with COPD and deconditioning also contributing to her acutely worsening CHF, along with known restrictive lung disease. A TTE was done which showed EF of 25% (down from 55% in ___ and severe pressure and volume overload of right heart consistent with symptoms of heart failure. On exam, lungs were diffusely wheezy and rhonchorous with fair air movement, though no rales were appreciated. Given high right heart pressure and volume, V/Q scan was obtained to rule out PE (did not get PE CT due to CKD) which was low to intermediate probability for PE. Diuresis was initiated ___ with 40 mg IV lasix and she proceeded to diurese - 2.7 liters overnight. Ultimately, patient was transferred from medicine to ___ cardiology service for further care.

Based on this, the patient qualified for home O2 for symptomatic relief as an outpatient. She was seen by the pulmonary consult service; however, as the patient has restrictive lung disease and was already on optimal therapy, further treatment was deferred to the outpatient setting. . # Chest pain: Patient reports intermittent, sharp, non-exertional chest pain since her sternotomy. She reports it is unchanged in character during this time. EKG unchanged, trop negative x 2. This pain is likely musculoskeletal in origin related to prior sternotomy. This pain is likely musculoskeletal in origin related to prior sternotomy. She was continued on home metoprolol, rosuvastatin, and aspirin 81 mg daily. Given that she is likely ___ class III, she was started on lisinopril 2.5 mg daily. Patient had been complaining of chest pain since sternotomy in ___ (above), but this is unlikely cardiac as it is non-exertional and ECG was stable and troponins were flat. She was started on gabapentin for presumed neuropathic pain with significant improvement in symptomatology. . # Elevated INR: INR was 5.9 on admission (goal of 3.0 to 3.5 given mechanical valves).

[/INST] </s><s>FAX DISCHARGE SUMMARY TO PCP'S OFFICE #Bright Red Blood Per Rectum (BRBPR)--The patient initially noted the bleeding, a few tablespoons over three different instances, the day prior to admission. Throughout the remainder of her hospital course, she noticed passing a couple of small clots. Her hematocrits were trended throughout and slowly declined (possibly related to multiple lab draws), and she received 1U PRBC. The GI team was consulted, and they felt the most likely cause of the bleeding was from hermorrhoids. They felt there was no need for a sigmoidoscopy at this time given her recent scope which showed no correctable anatomic lesions. They recommended steroid suppositories which the patient was started on. Given C.diff infection, they recommended stopping the suppositories especially as her bleeding had improved. #C. diff colitis--the patient showed a marked leukocytosis from admission (WBC on admission 10, peaked at 17), and a C diff PCR assay showed a positive C diff infection. She was initially treated with IV flagyl, but ultimately developed nausea/vomiting. The IV flagyl was discontinued and she was transitioned to PO vancomycin. The GI team was consulted to ensure that the PO vancomycin would provide adequate intestinal coverage given that the patient was in discontinuity, and they commented that the infection was likely in the small bowel (given that the sample was sent from the ostomy) and that PO vancomycin would provide adequate treatment. She was continued on PO vancomycin and ___ need continued therapy through ___. #Abdominal pain/nausea/vomiting--The patient was initially noted to have exquisite tenderness in her LLQ upon admission. This pain ultimately shifted to the LUQ, and the LLQ was no longer painful. Her CT scan showed no acute intraabdominal process such as diverticulitis or obstruction. Notably, the pain was only present upon palpation of the abdomen and not present at rest. On hospital day 3, after starting on IV flagyl, she developed nausea and vomiting. She received a KUB, which showed a normal bowel gas pattern. She was started on an anti-emetic regimen including ondansetron and prochlorperazine, with good effect. Her ostomy output during this time was entirely normal. Upon discharge, she was no longer nauseous or vomiting and was taking a regular diet. #Acute on Chronic Renal Failure--Creatinine upon admission was 3.0, up from a baseline of 2.5 on ___. Urine studies were sent and her FENa was 2.0%, indicating an intrinsic renal cause. She received a renal ultrasound, which was negative. Her renal function ___ need continued follow-up upon discharge, as it appears to be continuing to decline. She was set up with a nephrology follow-up here at the ___. #Skin Ulcers--The patient was suffering from severe skin damage and pain on her distal finger tips with ulcerations on many of her fingers. It was further noted that the patient's hands may also have sclerodactyly. Accordingly, a rheumatology consult was order, and they felt the lesion was more consistent with gemcitabine induced digital ischemia and necrosis. A dermatology consultation was ordered and concurred that the most likely etiology was gemcitabine induced condition as reported in the literature ___ et al, Radiol Oncol ___ ___ et al, Anticancer Drugs, ___. An extensive rheumatologic serological work-up was ordered to rule out any alternative rheumatologic causes, the results were pending up until right before the patient was discharged and ___ was found to be very positive with high titer. Rheumatology recommended the patient follow up as an outpatient with the first available appointment. She was started on nifidipine TID and aspirin 81 mg to relieve the vasospastic component of the skin necrosis. The patient reports significantly improved feeling in her fingers upon discharge.</s>

ACTIVE MEDICAL ISSUES ================ # Healthcare associated pneumonia and mild diastolic CHF exacerbation. She presented with dyspnea and hypoxia. HCAP was likely primary cause of hypoxia and dyspnea (dced from rehab ~6 weeks PTA), with some contribution from CHF exacerbation. By imaging pneumonia appears atypical (legionella negative), repeated pneumonias likely related to tracheobronchomalacia. Less likely bronchoalveolar carcinoma given only one episode hemoptysis. PE ruled out by CT-A but hepatic reflux suggestive of R heart dysfunction w/ a primary lung process. - Consider 3 month short term follow for posterior RUL lesion vs biopsy if admitted.

She is incontinent, would monitor daily weights and exam. # Goals of care: She repeatedly expressed that she wanted to go home, not a rehab or long term care facility. She has had discussions about hospice in the past, but has been ambivalent about it. She intermittently endorsed wanting to go home with hospice and asking "what is hospice?" after long discussion (patient not confused), re-demonstrating this ambivalence. She initially agreed to go to rehab but then did not want anybody to enter her home to retrieve her checkbook, as such she remained at ___ throughout her antibiotics course.

She was initially found to be hypertensive to a SBP of 220s, and an esmolol gtt was started. A CTA was performed, which showed what appeared to be contained rupture without active extravasation of contrast. Vascular surgery was consulted for assessment of surgical repair of ruptured AAA. She was emergently taken to the operating room for re-rupture of her AAA, and type 1B bar graft leak. She underwent coil embolization of the right internal iliac artery, as well as bilateral extension of previously placed EVAR iliac limbs with two additional limbs into the iliac arteries on both sides to reseal her previous EVAR graft. Upon transfer to the PACU, there was some concern initially for right leg ischemia, but the ultrasound showed that there was some flow in the superficial femoral artery distal to the puncture site, and she was transferred to the ICU for recovery. Postoperatively, she had initially been doing well, but was noted to have a cooler right foot over the course of the subsequent hours and loss of her posterior tibial Doppler signal. Arterial duplex confirmed occlusion of the right lower extremity lower leg arteries, prompting concern for proximal occlusion. As such, the patient was prepped for immediate right groin exploration. Intraoperatively it was noted that the Perclose closure appeared to have raised a flap of plaque from the posterior aspect of the common femoral artery. This appeared to be the cause of her occlusion. She then underwent right femoral patch angioplasty with Dacron graft, right femoral endarterectomy, selective catheterization of right external iliac artery, second order vessel, and angiogram of the right lower extremity. It was determined that revascularization had been successful, as her posterior tibial artery signal was noted to be strong again intraoperatively and postoperatively.

Dizziness described as feeling "lightheaded" on standing usually in the morning # Orthostasis/dizziness: Patinet came in complaining of lightheadedness and the sensation of the room tilting when she was standing up. This unsteadiness resulted in several falls over the last few days. In the ED, a head CT was negative for any acute intracranial process. An EKG showed atrial fibrillation with rvr (~150bpm) and on orthostatic exam the patients SBP dropped from 135 to 95 upon standing. Pt responded well to 100mg of metoprolol and soon converted back into sinus rhythm. Causes of the patient's orthostasis werer thought to be related to volume depletion as she has had poor PO intake recently and her afib . Anemia was also considered as etiology of symptoms as her admission CBC showed a drop of HCT from 39 to 34 over 3 days. This was felt to be less likelty as patient had no fatigue/weakness and relatively high hct with no signs of bleeding or hemolysis. The patient remained in SR for the duration of the admission and orthostatis removed. She received several liters throughout admission and showed no signs of fluid overload.

Hemolysis labs were unremarkable and there was no signs of bleeding (guiac neg in ED). Patient's CBC has trended lower over the last year with fluctuance in HCT. Uncertain cause but may be secondary to progressive fibrosis. However, other cell lines appear normal. Hydroxyurea was held throughout admission in setting of low HCT and should be started back as 2x a week medication instead of 3x per Heme. She will follow up with them as an outpt next month. She should have a CBC drawn in 2 weeks prior to appointment. TSH and B12 were wnl. . # Afib with RVR: patient converted back to sinus rhythm soon after admission. She required 100mg metoprolol for RVR to 150bpm. Pt was maintained on daily dose of metroprolol 75mg BID throughout the admission without complication. Pt's ECG shows enlarged P waves making conversion back into afib likely in the future. Pt will follow up with cardiologist as an outpatient.

His ECG remained unchanged and his troponins were negative, arguing against ongoing ischemia which would be expected to result in cardiac myonecrosis. Pharmacological vasodilator nuclear stress test showed small reversible defect that was felt unlikely to be contributing to chest pain and was more likely a false positive result from endothelial dysfunction after his recent ___ MI and from the PCIs themselves. There was no improvement in pain with SL NTG or other long acting anti-anginal agents. Pain, therefore, felt to be less likely from cardiac ischemia. Patient underwent CTA to look for pulmonary embolus or aortic dissection. A small RUL subsegmental pulmonary embolus was noted on CTA; given its size, this was again felt to be unlikely explanation for extent of pain. Highest suspicion is for GI etiology. He was treated with omeprazole, GI cocktail, and sucralfate. Sucralfate was most helpful in resolving symptoms (although not consistently or persistently), so he was given sucralfate to take as an outpt. He will have a GI work up (EGD/Colonoscopy) as outpt to further investigate possible GI etiology of pain. # Pulmonary embolus: RUL subsegmental PE found on CTA. No evidence of right heart strain.
