DX CHEST PORTABLE PICC LINE PLACEMENT showed In comparison with the study of ___, there is an placement of a left subclavian PICC line that extends to the lower portion of the SVC. Otherwise, little change in the appearance of the heart and lungs. Radiology showed 1. Interval progression of enteric contrast administered orally on ___, now seen in the right hemicolon and cecum. 2. Re-demonstration of dilated loops of proximal air and fluid-filled small bowel, possibly representing low-grade obstruction or a component of ileus given interval progression of contrast and persistent air and fluid within the distal small bowel and colon. 3. Unchanged moderate bilateral layering nonhemorrhagic pleural effusions. 4. Unchanged mildly enlarged mesenteric lymph nodes measuring up to 13 mm, possibly reactive in nature. 5. Unchanged bilateral renal cysts. 6. Unchanged fatty pancreatic atrophy and accessory tissue splenic tissue. Other incidental findings, as above. Radiology showed 1. The enteric tube terminates in the proximal stomach. 2. No radiographic evidence of obstruction. CHEST (PORTABLE AP) showed Compared to chest radiographs since ___, most recently ___. Concurrent pulmonary edema and right upper lobe pneumonia developed between ___ and ___. Severe left lower lobe pneumonia has been stable throughout. Component of pulmonary edema has improved slightly since ___ but large scale pneumonia in the right lung has remained relatively stable, left lower lobe is collapsed, perhaps obscuring previous consolidation, cardiomegaly is severe and moderate bilateral pleural effusions are stable. There is no pneumothorax. Transvenous right ventricular pacer lead follows its expected course. Left PIC line ends in the low SVC. Patient has had median sternotomy for at least an aortic valve replacement. Radiology showed 1. Loculated left lower quadrant fluid with layering internal debris, likely blood products, with evidence of peripheral/marginal enhancement at its superior aspect. Medially at the superior aspect of this loculated fluid, there is a 4.3 x 2.5 cm interloop collection with a thin enhancing rim. While rim enhancement of these collections may simply represent inflammation given recent surgery, infection cannot be excluded by CT. Correlate with physical exam. 2. Prominent proximal small bowel loops primarily involve the enteroenteric anastomosis, possibly with a small component of proximal small-bowel ileus. No evidence of bowel obstruction. 3. Unchanged multiple pancreatic cystic foci. Unchanged multiple bilateral renal cysts, some which are likely hemorrhagic/proteinaceous. Diffuse subcutaneous soft tissue edema.

Radiology showed No evidence of the radiopaque foreign body in the intra-abdominal cavity not accounted for in the instrument count . Radiology showed Contrast administered through the NG tube does not advance past the jejunojejunostomy in the left upper quadrant. In the setting of high NG tube output, this finding suggests that there may be recurrent obstruction at this level. However, there is a large volume of air within the more distal small bowel suggesting that the obstruction is early, partial, or an insufficient volume of nasogastric contrast was administered. NOTIFICATION: The findings were discussed with Dr ___. by ___ ___, M.D. in person on ___ at 3:40 ___, 1 minutes after discovery of the findings. CHEST (PORTABLE AP) showed Comparison to ___.

[/INST] </s><s>Mr. ___ admitted to the ___ service from the Emergency Department on ___ following his original workup that was most concerning for a small bowel obstruction. Initial CT imaging was complicated given the uncertainty surrounding his previous abdominal surgeries in the 1980s. Conservative management was first started and the patient was made NPO, received IVF and had a NGT placed for bowel decompression. Nasogastric decompression originally put out 1.5 L of feculent appearing liquid upon placement. A Foley catheter was placed to monitor his urine output in order to optimize his hydration status. Given Mr. ___ complicated neuropsychiatric history, he was unable to provide any information about his past medical history but remained pleasant throughout his stay. On HD#2, Mr. ___ was brought back to the OR and underwent an Exploratory Laparotomy, an extensive 2.5 hour Lysis of Adhesions, a Stricturoplasty of what was expected to be his R-Y Duodenojejunostomy and removal of an impacted bezoar just proximal to the DJ anastomosis. For further information regarding the procedure, please refer to the operative note by Dr. ___ in the ___. Post-operatively, Mr. ___ did well; his NGT was removed on POD#2 and he was started on sips. However, on POD#4, he experienced increased abdominal distension and large volume bilious emesis requiring replacement of his NGT. On POD#5 and #6, Mr. ___ continued to have large volume bilious emesis and underwent CT Scans of his abdomen and pelvis on both days. CT imaging on POD#6 demonstrated contrast from the previous exam moving through to his colon. Over the next several days, Mr. ___ demonstrated intermittent return of bowel function with large bowel movements, despite continued episodes of bilious emesis requiring continued NGT decompression. He self-removed several NG Tubes over the course of his stay. On POD#6, he was diagnosed with a large, RUL Pneumonia and he was started on a 7 day course of Vancomycin and Meropenem (considering his antibiotic allergies) via a Left Sided PICC Line. Imaging on POD#6 also demonstrated a large, partially rim enhancing fluid collection in his LLQ which was subsequently drained by ___ on ___ following logistic and sedation issues required for drain placement. Cultures and gram stains demonstrated no bacterial etiology. Mr. ___ remained on his antibiotics for his pneumonia and serial CXR demonstrated improvement. Despite repeated episodes of bilious emesis and self-discontinuation of NG tubes, Mr. ___ also continued to have bowel movements 1 week out from his surgery. There were no additional radiologic findings to support a continued mechanical obstruction and it was thought that Mr. ___ partial obstructive symptoms were secondary to severe gastroparesis. Due to his history of ___ Disease and his additional neuropsychiatric complications, conventional dopaminergic prokinetic agents like Reglan were unable to be used, and he was started on IV Azithromycin in an attempt to stimulate foregut peristalsis. TPN was started for his moderate nutritional deficiency. On ___, a Dobbhoff Nasojejunal Tube was placed under fluoroscopy and Osmolite Tube Feeds were started shortly thereafter. Tube feeds were eventually switched to Jevity 1.5 as the patient had loose bowel movements with osmolite. Mr. ___ tolerated the tube feeds at goal but accidentally pulled out his Dobbhoff. His abdominal clinical exams continued to slowly improve. ___ was consulted who placed a GJ Feeding Tube under moderate sedation on ___ and he was started on tube feeds again on ___. The GJ tube later clogged and was replaced by ___ on ___. The patient's TPN was discontinued and his PICC line was removed. On ___, Neurology was consulted for recommendations regarding restarting the patient's home management of AEDs. Neurology recommended starting Ativan 0.5mg q8h standing as bridge while NPO, resuming gabapentin once able to take enteral medications (started at 800mg TID, then after 3 days, go up to 1200mg TID for 3 days, then up to 1800-1200-1800mg TID (home dose)). The patient received scheduled Ativan, but it was held due to patient somnolence, and Neurology said it was ok to discontinue on ___. After holding Ativan, the patient's mental status returned to baseline. Psychiatry was also consulted and recommended that the patient discontinue home clozapine due to his recent bowel obstruction. Psychiatry recommended he receive seroquil 12.5mg prn agitation. During the patient's stay, he received subcutaneous heparin to prevent blood clots. Once tolerating a diet, home warfarin was resumed for atrial fibrillation. At the time of discharge, the patient was doing well, afebrile and hemodynamically stable. The patient was tolerating tube feeds, voiding without assistance, and pain was well controlled. The patient received discharge teaching and follow-up instructions.</s>

[/INST] </s><s>Ms. ___ is a ___ y/o female with chronic abdominal pain, narcotic dependence, benzodiazepine use, gastoparesis s/p G-tube placement, atypical chest pain, osteoporosis, depression/anxiety and chronic open R buttock abscess s/p multiple I&D and VAC placement who presents with fever to 103, found to have enterococcus bacteremia. # Bacteremia: The patient presented with fevers to ___ at home with chills. Vital signs on presentation were notable for a temp of 100.9 and HR 123. ___ blood cell count initially normal at 7.8. Pt was initially started on empiric cefepime and gentamicin in the ED. The patient's R buttock abscess was considered a possible source of infection, however only mild redness was noted on exam and was felt unlikely to be the cause of fevers per surgery team. On presentation she had a left-sided port-a-cath (in place for many years), which was concerning for line infection, especially as the patient's husband accesses the port at home. ROS with no localizing signs of other infection. Patient was continued on cefepime and started on clindamycin initially on the floor. Blood cultures drawn in the ED grew enterococcus, which was felt to be due to port infection. ID was consulted. CT abdomen and LUE ultrasound did not reveal any obvious source of infection. The patient's had a documented history of red man syndrome to vancomycin, however chart review revealed the patient had received vancomycin during a recent hospitalization without issue. She was started on a slow infusion of vanc, but developed an allergic reaction with hives. The vanc was discontinued and she was treated with Benadryl. Her symptoms resolved. ID recommended starting daptomycin with daptomycin-heparin locks for her port-a-cath. TTE to rule-out endocarditis was negative. The surgery team recommended not removing the port, given her history of poor peripheral access and need for continued IV antibiotics. Surveillance blood cultures were drawn daily. Her blood cultures cleared on day 4 (___). She was continued on daptomycin for a 14-day course. With her history of inappropriate access of the port-a-cath at home for intravenous administration of a medication prescribed IM by a non-trained individual (the patient's husband), there were no alternative IV access options for discharge home or to another facility to receive antibiotic treatments. The patient therefore remained in the hospital to complete her antibiotic course. She remained hemodynamically stable and afebrile throughout this period. Her left port-a-cath was removed on ___ due to patient preference and risk for future infection. # Chronic Pain/Narcotic abuse: She has a ___ year history of multiple abdominal surgeries, several bowel obstructions, ischemic colitis, cholecystectomy, appendectomy, hemorrhoidectomy, TAH/BSO, and colostomy. She has also previously been on TPN as well as tube feeds and still has a gastric tube in place, although this is specifically used for venting now. Her narcotic tolerance has increased to the point of high doses of both benzodiazepines and narcotics have been prescribed on an outpatient regimen. At home, the patient self-administers a significant amount of Demerol via her port-a-cath (equating to approx. 30mg IV morphine Q2H). This was prescribed to her as an IM medication by her previous PCP (Dr. ___. On admission, the patient was placed on IV dilaudid 2mg Q2H on the floor given her significant opioid requirement at home and initiation of this dosing regimen in the ED per a protocol from ___. She was also continued on Ativan 2mg Q2H (home dose of ___ Q6H), which was also started in the ED. She was then tapered to Q4H without signs of withdrawal, and in the final days of her hospital stay was taking only 2 doses of lorazepam per day, in addition to clonazepam 0.5mg BID. Chronic pain was consulted and recommended continuing IV Dilaudid initially on admission. Psychiatry was consulted regarding Ativan dosing and recommended not exceeding home dose of 16mg daily. A detox program was strongly recommended to the patient on several occasions, however the patient consistently refused this option. After multiple discussions with the patient, she agreed to transition to an entirely PO pain medication and benzodiazepine regimen with a long-acting benzo with plan to taper off both medications at discharge. This decision was reached in consideration of the fact that a new primary care physician would not continue prescribing IM Demerol. The patient was started on Cymbalta 30mg daily, however this was discontinued after the patient developed a headache she attributed to this medication. She was then started on Bupropion XL 150mg daily. On ___, the patient's Ativan was changed from IV to PO at the same dose and frequency. The following day, she was started on PO Klonopin 0.5mg BID and her Ativan was changed to 2mg Q6H per psychiatry. On ___, She was transitioned to PO dilaudid 10mg Q3H:PRN with IM 2mg for breakthrough per chronic pain recommendations. The patient reported stomach upset with the PO dilaudid, which she has experienced in the past. Several options of managing this were trialed including co-administering with food, anti-emetics, and tums, however the patient refused most PO dilaudid doses. She also refused all other options for oral pain medications and/or patches. She was made aware that she would not receive a prescription for IM dilaudid at discharge. We also discussed our concern for opiate withdrawal if the patient refuses PO at home. As the patient stated she has a "6 month supply of Demerol at home" she was instructed NOT to continue taking this medication and was advised of the risks of taking PO dilaudid in addition to Demerol. She acknowledged understanding of these risks. A taper for Klonopin of 0.5mg BID for 2 weeks, followed by 0.25mg BID for 2 weeks was agreed upon. A Dilaudid taper was as follows: 8mg PO Q4H x 3 days, then 8mg PO Q6H x 3 days, then 8mg PO Q8H x 21 days, for total 30 days. She accepted prescriptions of PO Dilaudid, Wellbutrin, and Klonopin at discharge. The risks of stopping benzodiazepines abruptly were discussed with patient and she acknowledged her understanding. # Psychosocial Issues: During the patient's previous hospitalization in ___, the patient's husband brought meperidine into the hospital and was found at her bedside appearing to be in the process of injecting into her port. He was asked to leave the premises and was not permitted to return. The patient's PCP, ___, terminated his care due to this event. He prescribed the patient a 1 month supply of medications while she sought out a new PCP. Several multidisciplinary meetings were held during the present hospitalization to discuss the visitation rights of the patient's husband. As the steps taken in ___ were carried out with appropriate measures in order to preserve the safety of the patient, the case was not reviewed per the husband's request. It was decided that he would be allowed one 30 minute visit daily, on weekdays only, supervised by security. He did not take advantage of this opportunity during this admission. Please see documentation by Dr. ___ in ___ on ___ for full details. # Primary Care follow-up: The patient's former PCP, ___ ___, terminated his care of the patient as of ___ due to the events described above. He provided her with a 1 month supply of Demerol and Ativan while she found a new PCP. During the present hospitalization, the patient disclosed that she had not yet found a new PCP. She did allude to a possible new physician at ___, but refused to provide the physician's name. We reached out to leadership at ___ ___ in order to secure a new PCP for the patient, however since the patient reported a 6-month supply of Demerol at home, no physician would be comfortable taking on this patient and continuing to provide opiates. This issue was discussed with the patient and she agreed to follow-up with a PCP at ___. # Abscess: The patient was s/p bedside I&D on ___ with VAC placement. Pt evaluated by surgery in the ED. She was maintained on a VAC to suction, which was changed by surgery every 3 days. Her wound was debrided at the bedside on ___. Plastic surgery was consulted for possible wound closure. The patient opted to maintain the wound VAC and follow-up in plastic surgery clinic as an outpatient. Dr. ___ agreed to act as "primary physician" in order to obtain home ___ services for wound VAC maintenance. # Hx of potassium disturbances: Patient with history of both hypokalemia and hyperkalemia during previous admissions. Last admission with normal K and K of 3.7 on current presentation. Electrolytes were monitored daily without need for repletion. # Osteoporosis: The patient was continued on home calcium supplements. </s>

On exam, she has a mild UMN pattern weakness in the 4+ range in both her arm and her leg. There are no sensory changes on formal testing with pin. Given her stroke risk factors (ie having afib but only being on ASA given her bleeding risk in the setting of bilateral SDH), she had an MRI of her brain looking for a stroke that could have led to her right sided weakness. There was no change on her MRI from her prior MRI in ___. Chronic small bilateral occipital lobe infarcts were noted and similar to that seen in ___ ___s chronic small vessel changes. She also had an MRI of her cervical spine, which did not show any abnormal cord signal intensity. She has some degenerative changes resulting in multilevel neural foraminal narrowing worse at R C3-C4. Overall, it is unclear what caused her right sided weakness and neuropathy. Given that the weakness has been going on for the last week to 4 weeks, it may have been that she had a small left sided stroke resulting in a mild right hemiparesis.

He received lovenox teaching ___ the hospital, and was discharged on lovenox for anticoagulation ___ the setting of the pulmonary embolus. He was told not to stop anticoagulation without speaking to a physician and also told that he would be switched to oral anticoagulation after the procedure. Of note, he did undergo duplex ultrasound of the lower extremities which did not reveal any thrombus present. No heart strain on ECG. # CAVITARY LESION: Patient's CT and CXR showed cavitary lesion ___ the right lung. Initially thought to be due to cavitary pneumonia superinfected after lung necrosis from the pulmonary embolus. However there is also concern for malignancy. CT findings indicated "Pulmonary embolism within the right main pulmonary artery extending intosegmental branches. Large right upper lobe cavitary lesion measuring 6.3 x 5.3 cm, diffuse patchy ground-glass opacities ___ the bilateral lobes and multiple enlargedmediastinal lymph nodes. Constellation of findings is suspicious forinfectious process including tuberculosis though malignancy such as squamouscell carcinoma is not fully excluded." He was started on vancomycin and piperacillin-tazobactam. Given his rheumatoid arthritis therapy with enbrel and prednisone, risk for fungal infection was present. Both interventional pulmonology and general pulmonology were consulted. Sputum smears were negative for acid fast bacilli. Quantiferon gold was indeterminate. Cryptococcal antigen was negative. Aspergillus galactomannan antigen negative. Beta glucan was positive although patient was on a beta lactam (piperacillin-tazobactam), which could lead to false positive result. Histoplasma antigen was pending. Sputum culture showed sparse growth commensal respiratory flora. Blood cultures showed no fungus or mycobacterium present. CMV IgG and IgM were negative. Sputum ___ showed budding yeast with pseudohyphae with preliminary fungal culture growing yeast. Preliminary nocardia culture showed no nocardia isolated. MTB direct amplification was sent to state lab for further identification. Acid fast smear was negative. Interventional pulmonary was consulted and recommended a repeat CT image of the chest (scheduled for ___ to determine if the cavitary lesion improved with antibiotics. At that time, consideration for a bronchoscopy with biopsy of the lesion/lymph nodes will be critical to determine etiology of the cavitary lesion and mediastinal lymphadenopathy. Additionally obtaining sputum cytology may be critical ___ the future to determine the cause of the lesion. Decision was made not to do bronchoscopy with lymph node biopsy ___ the hospital setting given the acute pulmonary embolus and risk for progression while holding anticoagulation for the procedure. Infectious disease was consulted who recommended transition from vancomycin/piperacillin-tazobactam to Augmentin 875 mg PO BID for a total antibiotic course of 14 days (end date ___. Follow-up on this cavitary lesion will be critical, as there is still concern for malignancy given his smoking history and CT findings concerning for squamous cell cancer. # Odynophagia/Dysphagia: Patient reported significant substernal discomfort after eating as well as significant weight loss over the past four months. Concern for malignancy was present given the CT findings and dysphagia with weight loss.We obtained video swallow and barium esophagram which only showed distal esophageal spasm without obstruction or stricture. His PCPs office was called and noted that he had a EGD one month prior that did not show obstruction or mass. # RHEUMATOID ARTHRITIS: Patient was on enbrel and prednisone for rheumatoid arthritis. Initially he was continued on these medications, however, given the possibility of infection, they were stopped. The prednisone was restarted on discharge (pt was called and asked to restart the med, although not listed on dc med list). # CORONARY ARTERY DISEASE: patient has history of CAD with 2 previous MIs with stent placements. These occurred ___ ___ and ___. Continued home dose aspirin, metoprolol, and atorvastatin. # CHRONIC PAIN: continued with his home dose gabapentin 800 mg Q8H as well as his home oxycodone-acetaminophen. # GASTROESOPHAGEAL REFLUX DISEASE: continued home omeprazole 20 mg PO daily. # OBSTRUCTIVE SLEEP APNEA: Uses CPAP at home. Continued with CPAP during hospitalization. TRANSITIONAL ============ #Please follow-up with appointment for your CT scan of your chest which will be scheduled by the Interventional Pulmonology team (___). Please also follow up with the Interventional Pulmonary team ___ clinic. They will help schedule all of these appointments for your within the next three weeks. It will be critical to follow-up with these appointments as malignancy is still on the differential of this cavitary lung lesion. #There are numerous oustanding laboratory data as noted above. Please follow-up the results of the Quantiferon-TB Gold, Histoplasma antigen, Sputum fungal culture; nocardia culture, MTB direct amplification, Acid Fast Smear, Acid Fast Culture, Blood CMV AB, CMV IgG antibody, CMV IgM antibody, sputum acid fast cultures, as well as blood cultures. #INTERVENTIONAL PULMONARY: When biopsy is done, please ensure gram stain, aerobic + anaerobic cultures, fungal culture, acid-fast bacilli smear and culture, MTB PCR, Nocardia smear and culture. #FOLLOW-UP RESULTS: Please follow-up results of the fungal culture as was growing budding yeast with pseudohyphae. #HYPERCOAGULABLE WORKUP: please consider hypercoagulable workup given the lack of inciting factor for the pulmonary embolus. #ANTICOAGULATION: pt will need to be transitioned from lovenox to coumadin after biopsy. #CODE STATUS: FULL CODE #CONTACT: ___ (wife) ___ </s>

The patient tolerated the procedure well and there were no complications. Postoperatively, she was brought intubated to the CVICU for continued resuscitation. The remainder of her hospital stay is as follows, by systems: NEURO: Preoperatively, it was decided against placing a lumbar drain due to the length of time it would require to place one. Postop, while intubated, the patient was sedated with propofol and her pain was treated with a fentanyl drip. Immediately upon transfer to the CVICU postop, she was noted to be moving all four extremities spontaneously and she never developed any neurologic sequelae as a result of the TEVAR. The patient did develop delirium/sundowning on POD#3, insisting that she was at home and trying to climb out of bed and walk out of her room while still attached to all her lines and drains. This improved over the hospital course but she continues to be confused/slightly agitated especially at night but easily reoriented. ___: The patient was transferred to ___ on an esmolol gtt.

She complained only of vague chest/epigastric soreness and pain that radiated into her back. Cardiac enzymes were found to be elevated and cycled. Because they continued to climb (trop eventually peaking at 2.13), cardiology was called, who recommended full anticoagulation. They felt that her perioperative MI with transient lateral ST-T changes and increase troponin was secondary to her critical illness and need for multiple pressors.

Comparison with her old echos at ___ revealed these findings to be pre-existing. She was eventually transitioned to PO metoprolol. She was restarted on her home coumadin dose on POD 7. PULM: A non-con CT of the chest was obtained on POD1 to evaluate the extent of hemothorax and hemomediastinum present. Initially, it was decided against placing chest tubes. However, in the late afternoon of POD1, the patient developed acute desaturations and respiratory distress consistent with flash pulmonary edema. Therefore chest tubes were placed bilaterally and lasix was given with subsequent resolution of symptoms and improved oxygenation. The chest tubes initially drained close to a liter each the first 24 hours but the output dropped off thereafter. They were placed to water seal POD#3 and subsequent CXRs showed markedly improved aeration of the lung. They were both discontinued by POD#6.

In the last ___ days of hospital course, she was mostly pain free at rest, only seemed to have pain during actual movement of the right hip, which itself seemed to resolve very quickly. Her pain regimen was adjusted during the course of her hospitalization with the help of the palliative care team. See reported that the pain with hip aROM had improved from ___ initially to ___ on the day she left AMA. # Metastatic breast carcinoma: Known prior breast Ca, which is now a large and ulcerating right breast mass, so this was the presumed primary. CT c/a/p done showed widely metastatic disease to liver and bones. ___ did biopsy of liver met (___). Path confirmed the dx of metastatic breast carcinoma. Oncology discussed treatment options with her and they advised anastrazole 1 mg PO daily, which she said she would be willing to take, and was initiated prior to the patient leaving AMA on ___. An appointment was made for her in ___ clinic with Dr. ___ for ___, should she choose to attend. # Dural enhancement: on MRI. Evaluated by Neuro-Oncology (Dr. ___, who felt this was most consistent with metastatic carcinomatosis. The treatment of diffuse dural metastasis is systemic chemotherapy, which the patient was not interested in initiating during this hospitalization, but which she can discuss with her primary Oncologist at her upcoming ___ appointment. # Blurry vision w/ right lateral rectus muscle paresis and facial asymmetry: CT head without ICH or large stroke, but many skull mets one of which might be the culprit (may be pressing on CN 6). MRI brain without any brain mets. Consulted Neuro-Oncology at the recommendation of the Oncology team. # Blindness: due to longstanding cataracts/glaucoma that she did not seek ___ for. She has a large magnifying glass and flashlight that she uses to read things. # Goals of care: It was very challenging to fully understand and help Ms ___ to achieve her goals. She initially indicated that she wanted palliative interventions for her severe right hip pain, however aside from pain medications,with their relatively immediate effects on the pain, she ultimately turned down all of the palliative interventions we could offer that required a greater degree or process of decision-making. She seems to have a combination of strongly avoidant and obsessive personality traits. She is extremely anxious and, in her own words "paralyzed with indecision" at times, but refused both talk therapy and psychopharmacotherapy for anxiety when evaluated by the Psychiatry consult & liason service. She is intensely private, won't share any information about friends/family with us, and won't allow us to reach out to anyone on her behalf. She is also distrusting of both her condition and our motives. She requested at times that we print out all of her imaging studies, labs, and DNR/DNI order. On ___, I did this, highlighted all the key parts (name of study, findings, etc.), and gave them to her to help alleviate some of her anxiety/distrust. When I asked her today (___) if she had read any of these, she said no, because she has been interrupted so much in the past 24 hours, which is fair, but I have also gone in and found her sitting by herself, doing nothing, on multiple occasions today. Unclear to me if she is actually able to read the reports, even with her magnifying glass/light/etc. She demonstrated circular reasoning at times, was often non-linear in her thinking, and at times demonstrated poor recall. However, with frequent repetition, she gradually integrated new information, and was able to demonstrate understanding of the risks of refusing palliative interventions (e.g. palliative hip hemi-arthroplasty, palliative radiation therapy), as well as additional diagnostic evaluations (e.g. CTPA to evaluate for PE) or medical interventions (e.g. possible anticoagulation for PE, if found). Palliative care, SW, and I all talked with her extensively and did our best to understand her goals of care and help her achieve them. Her long history of avoiding medical interventions and allowing her medical conditions (breast cancer, left hip metastatic lesions, and cataracts/glaucoma) to follow their natural course was considered by our multi-disciplinary team, to be an integral part of her personality, and so we did our best to work within this conceptual framework to offer her palliative interventions that would limit the potential side effects that she seemed to be much more afraid of than the disease processes themselves. # Disposition: patient left AMA on ___. Earlier that day she told us that she felt like she was being imprisoned and wanted to go home. We reviewed our concerns about her safety at home in her current condition with limited personal mobility (evaluated by ___ & OT), and she was dismissive of our concerns. She expressed that she would be just fine at home, but also requested that we provide her with a wheelchair. We explained that although we would absolutely not keep her against her will, we were at the same time not under an obligation to facilitate putting her in an unsafe situation. Along those same lines, I explained that I did not feel comfortable prescribing her narcotic pain medications for unsupervised home use due to the combination of her severe vision impairment and her high risk of falling without assistance. I asked her if she would consider staying to continue working with ___ in the hospital to get stronger & more capable of safe transfers on her own, so she could go home safely. She declined. She said she would call a friend to pick her up. Ultimately someone did come to pick her up from the hospital at around 10 ___, and the patient refused to allow the night team to reveal any details of her condition/illness with this person. We provided her with a prescription for anastrazole on discharge. # Code status: DNR/DNI (confirmed with patient).</s>

TRANSITIONAL ISSUES =================== [] Patient is not on a beta blocker outpatient. It may be beneficial to have further discussions regarding the benefits of attempting to reinitiate therapy versus the risks of decreasing heart function given his low ejection fraction at baseline. [] While inpatient, there were initial discussions regarding whether CardioMEMS would be of benefit for this patient. He was agreeable to this, and thus it should be followed up at his next cardiology appointment. [] Patient has reported history of hyperkalemia with spironolactone. However, he also has reported history of hyperkalemia with Lisinopril, but seemed to tolerate this well inpatient. It may be of benefit to trial spironolactone again, and consider potassium reducing agents if he becomes hyperkalemic again. [] Patient's Imdur was decreased to 30mg daily in the setting of introducing lisinopril. Please continue to monitor his blood pressures to ensure this is an adequate dose. [] Please follow up INR and Chem10 from ___ ACUTE ISSUES ============ # ACUTE ON CHRONIC SYSTOLIC HEART FAILURE Patient presented with home with history of signs and symptoms concerning for volume overload. After review of his HPI, it was thought his symptoms were likely secondary to dietary indiscretion as well as an inadequate medication regimen in the setting of as needed torsemide. Patient was started on IV diuretics, and responded well. Once he was thought to be euvolemic, he was transitioned to oral Torsemide and was able to maintain euvolemia on this dose. For afterload reduction, patient's nitrate was decreased, and he had an increase in dose of hydralazine as his blood pressures appeared to be able to tolerate this. He was also newly started on lisinopril, and monitored closely for hyperkalemia, which he did not have. Patient was continued on home acetazolamide and digoxin.
