<s>[INST] <<SYS>> Act as a health expert <</SYS>> create brief hospital course of the following text: Reason for Consult: cluster of seizures HPI: The pt is a ___ F with a history of CP, refarcatory epilepsy and severe cognitive disability, who was transferred to ___ ED after about ___ seizures this morning. Shje had just been discharged from ___ yesterday, where she had been treated for one week for ESBL UTI (7d of ertapenem), and aspiration PNA. Apparently her WBC on dishcarge was 4.2, her last PHT level there 13. She then had one seizure yesterday and a slightly elevated temperature compared to her baseline (98.4), received Diastat and was fine. Starting at 7AM this morning, she had a cluster of 5 seizures at her home, each lasting between ___, consisting of a head version to the L, R arm flexion, and some twitching of her mouth. She receive 10mg Diastat, and EMS was called after she had another seizure after Diastat. She received another 4mg of ativan at the OSH ED, and was transferred here after she kept intermittently seizing. On the way to ___ she had 3 more seizures and received 5mg of diazepam. Here, her labs showed a WBC of 19 with 90% neutrophils, as well as a PHT level of 2.2. Her UA was clean, her CXR showed a retrocardiac infiltrate c/w old or new aspiration PNa. According to her facility, she did no miss any doses, and had no vomiting or diarrhea. She is nonverbal with minimal interaction and no purposeful hand or leg movements at baseline, and entirely fed per tube. She rarely seizes at baseline, usually in the context of infections. She is currently treated with Keppra, Trileptal, Neurontin, Klonopin, Dilantin and Banzel. Her most recent medication change was a change from Dilantin 275mg QHS to 100-175mg. Radiology showed Limited exam with low lung volumes causing crowding of the bronchovascular structures. Retrocardiac opacity could reflect aspiration or pneumonia. Radiology showed Parenchymal opacities in both lower lobes and in the right upper lobe, consistent with aspiration pneumonia. Limited evaluation of the lung parenchyma, no pleural effusions. The airways are patent. Calcified granuloma in the right upper lobe. Radiology showed 1. Interval placement of a right subclavian PICC line which has its tip likely within the proximal right atrium. A pullback of approximately 2 cm would position the tip in the distal SVC. Rods overlie the visualized thoracolumbar spine. Lungs remain low in volume with persistent patchy airspace opacities and reticulonodular interstitial abnormality which appears to be worsening. These findings may reflect worsening interstitial edema, though pneumonia should also be considered. Clinical correlation is advised. Overall cardiac and mediastinal contours are likely stable given differences in patient rotation and positioning. No large pneumothorax is seen, although the sensitivity to detect a pneumothorax is diminished given supine technique. Results of this examination were conveyed to ___, the ___ line nurse on ___ at 10:16 a.m. by phone at the time of discovery. The patient was diagnosed with OTHER FORMS OF EPILEPSY AND RECURRENT SEIZURES, WITHOUT MENTION OF INTRACTABLE EPILEPSY, PNEUMONIA,ORGANISM UNSPECIFIED, CONGENITAL QUADRIPLEGIA. At the time of discharge, the patient had Seizure. The patient was given written instructions concerning precautionary instructions and the appropriate follow-up care. All questions were answered prior to discharge. The patient expressed readiness for discharge. [/INST] </s><s>Ms. ___ was admitted to the neurology ICU for altered mental status after having multiple generalized seizures. These seizures were likely secondary both to the recent use of a penum antibiotic in treating an ESBL UTI, as well as a subtherpeutic phenytoin level of 2.2. #NEURO - SEIZURES On admission, she was loaded with IV fosphenytoin, and her PO BID dose was increased from 125/100 to 175/100. Her mental status quickly returned to baseline and she was transferred to the floor on ___. By the day of discharge, her dilantin level was therapeutic at 13.5. She was monitored on EEG, and continued to have generalized slowing with occasional spikes which is likely her baseline. On the day of discharge, she was at her baseline mental status. Trileptal and Keppra levels are pending. #ID Her WBC count was 19 on admission, for which she was started on vancomycin and zosyn, however WBC downtrended to 6 the next day and was likely a result of her seizure, antibiotics were discontinued the following day. She was afebrile. CXR was notable for a retrocardiac opacity from a recent pneumonia which had already been completely treated. Also, as above, she had recently been completely treated for a UTI. Urine culture was no growth. On ___, she spiked a fever and her white count uptrended, CXR showed bibasilar opacities and CT thorax showed bilateral consolidations suggestive of aspiration pneumonia. She was started again on vancomycin and zosyn to treat hospital acquired/aspiration pneumonia. PICC was placed and she is being discharged with a 14 day total course. She was discharged to a rehab facility for continued IV antibiotics, she will require less than 30 days at rehab. INACTIVE ISSUES She was continued on all of her home medications as previously prescribed, these are detailed in the attached medicatin list. OUTSTANDING ISSUES - Check dilantin trough level morning of ___ and adjust dosing if needed - Continue vancomycin and zosyn until ___ (14 day course for treatment of hospital acquired/aspiration pneumonia) - Check vancomycin level after 4th dose and adjust dose as needed. - F/U Trileptal, Keppra levels - F/U final blood cultures</s>

There was initial concern for an acute stroke given this focal finding and a code stroke was called. NCHCT was negative, as was CTA of the head and neck. He received 3 liters of IV fluid and his speech pattern returned to baseline (with baseline stutter). Neurology felt that given his negative imaging and lack of continued focal deficits, primary neurologic cause was unlikely, and they did not recommend more advanced head imaging. Per neurology recommendations, he was started on ASA 81mg daily for stroke prevention, although suspicion for TIA was low. No clear infectious process uncovered, negative tox screen, no events on tele. Ultimately his symptoms were attributed to orthostasis as below. #Lightheadedness #Vertigo Describes acute onset of lightheadedness with standing associated with sitting up and standing. As above, no focal deficits, and prodrome with sitting up prior to onset of symptoms indicative of vasovagal vs. orthostatic hypotension (although no documented orthostasis in house). The patient was given IV fluids with improvement in symptoms, and was evaluated by physical therapy who cleared him for discharge home. He was normotensive while inpatient, and his home losartan/HCTZ was held on discharge pending PCP ___. Given that his labs and presentation were consistent with some degree of intravascular volume depletion, would continue to hold his HCTZ. If he is hypertensive at his follow up apt, would start by adding back his Losartan. # Atypical chest pain Presenting with one day of left-sided chest pain.

ACTIVE ISSUES BY PROBLEM: # Leg cellulitis: noted to have increase erythema, warmth, and swelling of left lower extremity suspicious for cellulitis/erysipelas. Given the clinical severity, surgery was called for concern of necrotizing fascitis and clindamycin was added. Surgery felt his exam was not consistent with necrotizing fasciitis. LENIs were negative for DVT or any drainable collection. ID was consulted and felt his symptoms to be most consistent with cellulitis. Slowly, the infection regressed on vancomycin and clindamycin. He was discharged on a regimen of linezolid ___ BID to be continued for another 8 days for a 14 day course. # Respiratory distress/Pneumonia: Has history of recurrent pneumonia with CXR at ___ reportedly consistent with R-sided infiltrate prior to transfer here. Given tenous clinical status on presentation, he was initially admitted to the MICU and treated empirically for HCAP. On transfer to the unit, he was tachycardic, sat 94% on 3 L, but he was very somnolent. ABGs showed CO2 retention and the patient was placed on BiPAP. While in the ICU, he was started on Vancomycin, levofloxacin and Tobramycin (unusual HCAP regimen due to multiple drug allergies). He was given standing nebs with albuterol and ipratroprium.

CT head without acute process. CTA head and neck showed some atherosclerotic disease with adequate flow-trough. He was given tPA at 10:58 am with initial improvement of his NIHSS to 1 (left nasolabial fold flattening). Post-tPA events notable for transient episode of hypotension that resolved with IVF. NIHSS at that time worsened to 4 with improvement s/p hydration. Within 24 hrs, his post-tPA NIHSS improved to 2 (left facial, left arm drift). MRI brain with subtle foci of right frontal foci of diffusion restriction corresponding to precentral gyrus with ADC correlate suggestive of acute infarct/embolus with lysis from tPA. Transthoracic echo demonstrated large atrial volume, increasing risk of arrhythmia and an EF of 55% with no clots visualized. He was monitored on telemetry, but no atrial fibrillation was seen while inpatient. He will need a cardiac event monitor while in rehab or on discharge from rehab to look for occult atrial fibrillation. ___ was continued on aspirin 81mg daily for stroke prevention. His stroke risk factors were LDL 41, TSH 1.7, and hemoglobin a1c 5.7. There was no clear cause of his stroke, so occult atrial fibrillation causing a cardioembolic stroke was thought to be the most likely culprit. If atrial fibrillation is found, either a DOAC such as apixiban or Coumadin should be initiated. #HTN/HLD Blood pressure medications were held on admission to allow for permissive hypertension to SBP 180. Blood pressure medications were slowly reintroduced, with adequate blood pressure control (goal SBP <160) achieved on no antihypertensives. On discharge, we restarted metoprolol XL 12.5mg (half his home dose) and continued to hold losartan. These medications can be titrated up as needed at rehab to achieve SBP <160. His home atorvastatin was continued, as his cholesterol is under good control on current regimen. #PNA On admission, he was also found to have a right middle lobe pneumonia, for which he was treated with ceftriaxone (7 days) and azithromycin (5 days), and we covered for potential MRSA with vancomycin. MRSA swab was negative on ___, and vancomycin was discontinued. His white blood count was notable for leukocytosis of 37 and he was significantly dehydrated. We rehydrated him and consulted nutrition for re-nourishment recommendations, as he was frail on admission. He also had stage II pressure ulcer on his coccyx, for which a wound consult was placed. Social work was also consulted to help evaluate and supplement home care. Physical therapy recommended rehab on discharge, so patient was sent to rehab on ___. #CLL Patient was noted to have abnormal blood counts, which we discussed with hematology. There was concern for CLL, for which they recommended workup as an outpatient. We ordered a d-dimer, which was elevated to 8520. Serum viscosity was normal. They also recommended sending flow cytometry and cytogenetics, as well as hepatitis B, hepatitis C, and HIV, which we sent prior to discharge. One of the CT scans of his abdomen was read as lymph nodes concerning for lymphoma. We discussed with hematology, who felt the lymph nodes were more likely reactive in the setting of a small bowel obstruction. They recommended outpatient follow up, which we scheduled for after discharge. #SBO On ___ AM, patient vomited bilious fluids. KUB showed acute small bowel obstruction. Patient was made NPO. ACS was consulted, and colorectal surgery saw patient on ___, recommended NG tube to suction, and CT abdomen with PO contrast to look for etiology of obstruction. CT showed a small bowel obstruction. Surgery reduced a hernia. Patient remained NPO for the weekend, and vomiting resolved. Surgery did not feel that the SBO was due to the patient's hernia, and GI did not feel that the SBO was due to Crohn's flare. The CT scan had lymph nodes concerning for lymphoma, so we consulted ___ for biopsy. ___ recommended repeating the CT abdomen, which showed a resolved small bowel obstruction and thickening of the small bowel. There were lymph nodes that were not amenable to biopsy. Hematology and ___ both felt lymph nodes were more likely reactive, so we did not further pursue biopsy. CT scan may need to be repeated as an outpatient with hematology at follow up to look for change in lymph nodes. We spoke with GI, who said that he should resume his home GI medications on discharge. They are not sure if this is a Crohn's flare or not, but the biopsy will give us the answer. They deferred starting steroids, as they possibility of lymphoma was present and this would change his treatment course. The morning after his colonoscopy, patient had a small amount of diarrhea on the bed. Per report, it was dark, and concerning for blood. His next BM witnessed by medical team was diarrhea that was bilious in color, no bright red blood or melena. We repeated a CBC, which was stable. We discussed with GI, who said there could be a small amount of blood that would be expected after biopsy of the terminal ileum. Since his CBC was stable, there was no further workup needed, and patient was scheduled to follow up with GI.

He was sent to the Emergency Room for urgent placement of a chest tube. He tolerated the procedure well and initially had a large air leak. A subsequent chest xray confirmed placement of the tube at the left apex and a tiny residual apical pneumothorax. he was transferred to the Surgical floor for further management. Later that day he underwent talc pleurodesis with 4 Grams of sterile talc. Towards the end of the procedure he had some burning pain which was relieved with IV Dilaudid. The tube was placed above the level of his heart for 2 hours post pleurodesis and he repositioned himself frequently to coat the lung then the tube was placed on -20 cm suction for 48 hours. About 6 hours later he developed sinus tachycardia to 130 and desaturated to the low 80's eventually requiring a non rebreather. He was transferred to the SICU for further management of what seemed to be talc related SIRS. He was never intubated but required high flow O2 to maintain sats > 88%. His chest xray showed no pneumothorax and his pain was controlled with oral Dilaudid. He spent time in ICU for weaning off of high flow oxygen and his chest tube was eventually removed on ___. His post pull film showed no evidence of PTX and he remained hemodynamically stable without need for repeat CT placement. He was evaluated by the Pulmonary service and recommendations were made for reducing his Prednisone to 10 mg daily from 20 mg daily during this acute phase to allow for appropriate inflammation and ensure adequate pleurodesis.

The pain began yesterday afternoon after eating a large salad. It was been severe though it fluctuates in degree of pain and has been primarily periumbilical in location. Denies any associated n/v. Last BM was yesterday afternoon after his pain had started; it was reportedly brown and normal in appearance. He is unsure of last flatus. He does endorse a history of constipation and an episode that was similar in sensation but milder and self-resolving several weeks ago; otherwise he has never had a bowel obstruction. He also endorses bloating. CHEST (PA AND LAT) showed Slightly low lung volumes with bibasilar atelectasis. No focal consolidation. No frank pulmonary edema. No evidence of free intraperitoneal air. CT ABD AND PELVIS WITH CONTRAST showed 1. Small-bowel obstruction with transition point in the right mid abdomen, where there is a short segment of hyperemic/thickened small bowel. The short segment has a targetoid appearance with intramural edema or inflammation. Possibilities include that this is due to congestion associated with small bowel obstruction, including the possibility of early ischemic change, versus intrinsic small-bowel abnormality such as a short-segment of inflammatory bowel disease. The latter possibility seems less likely, however. This appearance is not suspicious for a tumor but it may be appropriate, particularly to exclude a background inflammatory process, to consider follow-up imaging within a few months. 2. Hyperemic sigmoid colon may represent a skip lesion in the setting of inflammatory bowel disease. However, this apparent hyperenhancement may be due to under distension and is an equivocal abnormality. 3. No evidence of free intraperitoneal air. 4. Colonic diverticulosis without evidence of acute diverticulitis. 5. Small to moderate sized fat containing umbilical hernia without significant secondary inflammatory changes. 6. Small hiatal hernia. RECOMMENDATION(S): Follow-up cross-sectional imaging, CT or MR, may be appropriate within 3 months in order to assess for any possibility of an underlying small-bowel process to explain obstruction. However, obstruction due to adhesion is favored as the most likely etiology. NOTIFICATION: Findings and recommendations discussed with Dr. ___ at approximately 12:45 by telephone.

There is hypoplasia of the corpus callosum, more significant in the body and splenium. 4. Diffuse pachymeningeal enhancement, likely related with EVD placement. 5. Nodular area of enhancement in the right frontal convexity, extra-axial, likely consistent with dural calcification, however a small meningioma cannot be completely excluded CHEST (PORTABLE AP) showed Low lung volumes and marked patient rotation limit overall assessment of the chest. With these limitations in mind, it cardiomegaly is apparently stable. New hazy increased opacity is evident in the right infrahilar region, and could be due to a developing pneumonia or a focus of aspiration. Short-term followup radiographs with improved positioning may be helpful for more complete assessment when the patient's condition permits. CT CHEST W/CONTRAST showed Multifocal consolidation throughout the lungs has substantially improved since ___. Progression of widespread ground-glass opacification without septal thickening or pleural effusions makes diffuse alveolar damage more likely than cardiac edema.

This has the advantage of only needing once a day injections given his overall poor compliance. He was treated for CAP, and tested negative for norovirus. It was presumed that the diarrhea was either a viral gastroenteritis, or simply from his chronic pancreatitis. He complained of chronic abdominal and back pain for which toradol,gabapentin, duloxetine, and Tylenol were continued, with intential refrain from using opiates. He was started on ACE-inhibitor therapy with Lisinopril for BP control; beta blocker was stopped. His antidepressants were continued, and sleep aids were continued. Of note, there was a time where he was refusing insulin, as he has done on multiple different hospital stays, which seems in part, to be leverage to try and receive opiates. I explained very clearly that he would not be having any changes to his pain medications during his stay. He once said he was not going to take his insulin at home (without providing a good reason), but after discussion, agreed to do so. Given his multiple bounce-backs and non-compliance, if he were to get admitted again, a multidisciplinary care team meeting would be beneficial to discuss expectations and follow-up. I would have conducted this, given his behavior the morning of discharge, but because he was able to go home and eventually agreed to cooperate, the timing was not prudent this admission. # DKA w/ poorly controlled DM1 (A1C 11.1%) # AGMA - resolved # PNA - treated w/ Azithro/Cephalosporin # Diarrhea - resolved; negative noro # ___ resolved # Chronic Pancreatitis - on creon # HTN - started lisinopril # HLD - continued home treatement # GERD - PPI # Stabbing in ___- R upper thorax, axilla, mid lower back # Chronic back pain with self reported R sided motor weakness in # Depression w/ prior suicide attempts # Insomnia TRANSITIONAL ISSUES =================== - Should received follow up chest imaging to ensure resolution of pulmonary opacity</s>

Many of her central issues with paranoia centered around money and bills. She was evaluated by Psychiatry, Social work, and Occupational therapy. She was medically stable during her admission, and was treated for an uncomplicated UTI. She was transferred in stable condition to ___ Mental Health-___ on day 13 of her hospital course. . ACTIVE ISSUES # Paranoia/Inability to make decisions - Likely Mood disoder NOS and Anxiety Disorder NOS. Appears to be subacute process occuring over the last 4 months. Other causes of mental status changes were unremarkable. B12, TSH, RPR were within normal limits. She was found to have a mildly positive urialysis without urinary symptoms, but she was treated with a 7 day course of antibiotics given question of mental status changes. The time course is not consistent with her several month decline, and this is likely an incidental finding. No other apparent toxic-metabolic abnormalities. Psychiatry evaluated the patient, and determined low concern for delirium or psychosis due to unremarkable cognitive exam, although she may have mild cognitive decline/dementia and underlying depression. Patient will likely benefit from formal inpatient Geriatric/Psychiatric evaluation and therapy, and patient is agreeable to this option. Left message for outside psychiatrist Dr. ___ at ___. Alt ___. Increased her risperdone 0.5mg QHS. She did not require ativan for anxiety during her admission. . # Uncomplicated UTI: From positive UA but unlikely to be major contribution to subacute change in mental status/anxiety - Treated with Bactrim x 7 days (last dose on ___ AM). Of note, patient became concerned about fungal infection of tongue mucosa (she had recently perused bactrim side effect list) - her tongue mucosa appears normal, with no sign of infection/abnormalities. . CHRONIC ISSUES # Osteoporosis: Continued calcium/vitamin D at reported home doses. . # Asthma: Continued albuterol inhaler prn. . # Persistent Right upper lobe nodular opacity on CXR - Discussed possible CT-scan of her lung nodule, but patient would like to defer scanning of that until later given her current psychiatric condition. She feels that deciding about repeat scans, any subsequent procedures on the nodule (if necessary), or a potentially distressing diagnosis would be too much for her to handle right now, and prefers to follow up on this once she improves. . TRANSITIONAL ISSUES 1) Focal peripheral right upper lobe nodular opacity appears slightly more prominent than on prior studies, possibly due to overlap of the right scapula. However, further evaluation with a chest CT may be helpful to more fully characterize this region and to exclude the possibility of a slowly growing lung adenocarcinoma at this site. 2) She needs skilled OT services to address areas of money and home management. 3) She will need a follow up appointment with her PCP ___ weeks after discharge from the psychiatric facility. 4) Consider starting daily baby aspirin in this patient.</s>

ACTIVE DIAGNOSES: #DEMENTIA, likely vascular: Patient presented to ED with AMS x1 day prior to admission. Had been seen normal the evening prior, the was found 2 hours later banging on neighbor's door, demanding to speak to her husband and daughter, both of whom are deceased. Non-contrast head CT was normal. Urinalysis negative for infection. No leukocytosis or significant metabolic abnormalities. No changes in medications. Patient had been in her usual state of health prior and based on collateral from family she was very independent and interactive, though has significant visual and auditory impairment. Of note the patient had a similar episode a few weeks ago from which she recovered. Patient's home aides states that the patient had been feeling well prior to this event. No fevers/chills. No cough, no dysuria or abdominal pain and had not taken any OTC medications, specifically, no pseudophedrine or Benadryl. Patient received Haldol in the ED and then Zyprexa on the floor. This with time improved her agitation, but she was still confused. At the time of discharge, patient was calm, AAOx1-2 and not requiring antipsychotic medication. Given lack of an obvious underlying cause, in the setting of a step-wise decline per family in a patient with known atrial fibrillation, understandably not on anticoagulation, this is suggestive of vascular dementia. Patient was seen by physical therapy and occupational therapy who recommended long-term care placement. #URINARY TRACT INFECTION: UA and UCx were obtained upon admission and were negative. However, while in house the patient had urinary retention requiring intermittent catheterization. Given her increased frequency of retention a repeat UA and UCx were sent which returned with pan-sensitive E. coli. Patient was given 1 dose of CTX on ___ and then switched to Bactrim DS on ___ upon return of sensitivities with goal to treat for 7 days (last day ___. #METABOLIC ANION GAP ACIDOSIS: On presentation AG 16, delta/delta 1.3 which is consistent with a pure metabolic anion gap acidosis, further supported by elevated lactate of 2.7. Patient had been in ED for over 24 hours, likely had not been eating much. No IVF given. This in addition to likely agitated movements is likely sufficient to cause a slightly elevated lactic acidosis. Otherwise hemodynamically stable without signs of end organ damage or infection/sepsis.

Elevated lactate described as above. No hyponatremia or other electrolyte abnormalities. #ATRIAL FIBRILATION: Not on anticoagulation. Rate controlled with labetalol and diltiazem prior to the admission. Continued on diltiazem, but we reduced the dose because of bradycardia. Stopped labetalol because of hypotension and bradycardia. #HYPERTENSION: The patient was hypotensive and bradycardic during her admission. Her home labetalol and HCTZ were both stopped. Diltiazem was reduced from 240mg daily to 120mg daily. On discharge her systolic blood pressure was in the 120-150 range. #HYPERLIPIDEMIA: She was on simvastatin 20mg QHS at home.

<s>[INST] <<SYS>> Act as a health expert <</SYS>> create brief hospital course of the following text: ___ hx ___ disease, prostate CA s/p prostatectomy, SBO presenting with LLQ pain and abdominal distention. Patient reports over last few weeks, has been having intermittent spasms in LUQ. Mild mid abdominal pain, non-radiating, worse with eating. No alleviating factors. Associated distention and decreased flatus/BM, with thinner BMs than normal. Patient reports last BM this morning. Pain feels like previous bowel obstruction. Notes he has been vomiting, poor PO intake, noted collared greens from Christmas dinner in recent vomuit. Denies f/c, chest pain, shortness of breath, diarrhea, melena, hematochezia, urinary symptoms. CT abdomen and pelvis with contrast showed 1. High-grade small bowel obstruction with dilatation of the small bowel measuring up to 76 mm. Etiology of obstruction is somewhat unclear. Equivocal mesenteric swirling ___ sign) involving decompressed small bowel loops just distal to the maximally distended small bowel can suggest volvulus as the obstructing point though this does not fit the clinical picture. However, wall thickening and hyperemia of the distal involved small bowel suggests Crohn's involvement as the far more likely etiology. However, this finding along with trace ascites is can be seen with early ischemia. Close clinical monitoring and emergent surgical consultation is advised. 2. Anasarca. 3. Centrilobular emphysema. 4. Bilateral hip configuration suggestive of mixed pincer/CAM type femoroacetabular impingement. Associated mild to moderate bilateral degenerative hip joint change. NOTIFICATION: The findings were discussed by Dr. ___ with Dr. ___ on the telephone on ___ at 3:11 AM, 2 minutes after discovery of the findings. Examination was reviewed in person with Dr. ___ of ACS in person on ___ at 03:25. Per report, patient's clinical status does not support a volvulus and high-grade small bowel obstruction from Crohn's flare is more likely.

NOTIFICATION: The above findings were communicated via telephone by Dr. ___ to Dr. ___ at 11:00 on there is ___, 5 min after discovery. CHEST PORT. LINE PLACEMENT showed After passing into the upper SVC the new PIC line is angulated and may extend into either the azygos system or left brachiocephalic vein. Withdrawing the line 3 cm would reposition it in the upper SVC. No pneumothorax or mediastinal widening. Small left pleural effusion is unrelated. Heart size normal. Lungs clear. CHEST PORT. LINE PLACEMENT showed Right PIC line ends in the upper SVC. Lungs hyperinflated but clear of heterogeneous opacification at the base of the left lung is new since ___. This could be atelectasis, reflected in mild relative elevation of the left hemidiaphragm, or it could be aspiration with or without early pneumonia. Careful followup advised. Blunting of the left lateral pleural sulcus is chronic and more likely thickening than small pleural effusion. Right pleural surfaces are normal. Heart is normal size. CHEST (PRE-OP PA AND LAT) showed Right PICC line tip is at the level of superior SVC. Heart size and mediastinum are stable. Lungs are essentially clear with substantial interval improvement of left basal consolidation. Minimal amount of left pleural fluid is noted, unchanged since the prior study.
