No intervention was made at the time and she was to follow up with IP for re-evaluation outpt on ___. At ___ clinic on ___ pt found to be hypoxic with O2 sat of 86% in room air. She was sent to the ED. Patient reported on admission her baseline O2 sat has been 89-91% on RA at home since her last discharge. CXR showed her left-sided pleural effusion is unchanged from prior but the opacities within the mid to lower right lung were more pronounced suggesting possible aspiration/infection. While she may have had some aspiration, she was afebrile, has no cough, no fever, chills, etc. Did not appear volume overloaded on physical exam and was stable at her discharge weight. IP evaluated her lungs with ultrasound and reported that there is a very small pocket of fluid if anything, and that thoracentesis would be more risk than benefit in this pt. CT chest on ___ showed a partially loculated left pleural effusion and significant atelectasis, which is likely contributing to her hypoxia. ___ reviewed this CT and again did not feel that the effusion would drain easily and would probably not improve her oxygenation much. Pt and son agreed that she would likely not want a more invasive procedure (i.e. thoracic surgery consultation), especially since the benefit would likely not outweigh the risk. On ___ ambulatory oxygen saturations were obtained and the patient was found to be hypoxic to 87% on room air, thus she will qualify for home oxygen. She will be discharged with home oxygen and follow-up with her primary care physician. # Chest wall pain On admission pt reported having severe sharp pain across her left anterior chest, then on R on day 2 of hospitalization. Has had in past and was told it is musculoskeletal. This pain was reproducible by palpation on physical exam and was intermittent throughout her hospitalization. This was treated with Tylenol, Lidoderm patch, and lidocaine jelly as needed. # ___ Recently hospitalized on CHF service for acute diastolic HF exacerbation requiring 40-160mg IV Lasix and IV Diuril boluses. ECHO during previous admission showed LVEF >55% with less vigorous RV free wall motion and mild aortic valve stenosis. CXR on admission showed no signs of pulmonary edema. Currently, she does not appear volume overloaded (stable weight since discharge, no ___ edema, JVP elevated but in the setting of 4+ TR) and thus will continue home diuretic without additional IV diuresis. We feel that her hypoxia is unlikely to be from acute HF exacerbation. Of note, on ___ evening, we did give her an additional dose of diuresis with 140mg IV lasix, given her acute desaturation episode, and she improved afterwards, but do not think improvement was from the lasix as she did not have drastic output (and we think the O2 tubing was loosely connected to the wall during this episode). She was maintained on and will be discharged on her home heart failure regimen (torsemide 60 twice a day, verapamil 160 every 8 hours). Her weight on day of discharge is 126 pounds. # Atrial fibrillation # Tachy-bradycardia syndrome Patient has known history of afib on apixaban and tachy-bradycardia syndrome s/p ___ dual chamber pacemaker.

He reported that over the preceding ___ weeks, he had been feeling more fatigued, with constant nausea, and occasional vomiting. The emesis was mostly food, though occasionally gastric acid, without blood or bile. He has had decreased PO intake of solids, though reports good PO intake of liquids. He presented to ___ on ___ for the above symptoms, where he was given IVF and told to return if symptoms persisted. Since the above symptoms persisted, and he had a 24 hour period of anuria, he returned. There, he was found to have a Cr elevated to 2.3 (baseline 1.5-1.7), so he was transferred to ___. He reports that he has had abdominal pain in the RLQ over the transplanted kidney, which he only noticed after being examined. He's never had this before. He denied abdominal pain in any other areas, as well as abdominal distension or bloating. He had no dysuria, fever, chills, night sweats, sick contacts, pets, travel or hematuria. He described "ale" colored urine, which is abnormal for him (it is usually clear, pale yellow). In the ED, initial vitals were: 98 67 136/70 14 97% RA. - Labs were significant for Cr 1.8 (baseline 1.5-1.7), anemia (Hgb 10 range), mild hyponatremia (132), BUN 39 and bicarbonate 21 - Renal ultrasound showed normal transplant ultrasound - The patient was given 1L NS - Urine studies were sent Upon arrival to the floor, he reports feeling well otherwise.

He had initially presented to OSH ED with a ___ week history of nausea and poor po intake. His symptoms improved with IV zofran and he was discharged from the ED. At home, he noted decreased urine output and so re-presented to OSH ED, where he was noted to have creatinine 2.3 from baseline 1.5-1.7. He was transferred to ___ given ___ and his history of renal transplant. ___ on CKD: Patient with history of ESRD secondary to DM-I, with LRRT (___), on prednisone & tacrolimus. Urine electrolytes were consistent with pre-renal etiology in setting of poor po intake and nausea. Nausea may initially have been ___ uremia in setting of ___. Renal ultrasound obtained in ED showed normal transplanted kidney. Given a concern that his creatinine of 1.4 may represent more severe disease in this man with bilateral BKAs, he had 24H urine and cystatin for more accurate estimation of GFR, which was calculated to be 40. He was continued on his immunosuppresion with tacrolimus and prednisone, with tacrolimus levels checked daily. His lisinopril was held during the course of the admission and held on discharge. #Nausea: Unclear etiology. Most likely ___ constipation vs medication effect vs less likely uremia. He had a KUB consistent with severe fecal loading and so started on BID tap water enemas and bowel regimen. However, follow up KUB showed improvement in fecal loading and patient continued to c/o nausea. After resolution of his constipation, the differential includes primarily medication effect given that he does have a GFR of 40, making uremia less likely. Given concern for medications causing nausea, his gabapentin dosing was decreased substantially. His narcotics may be a large contributor both to nausea and to constipation; however, patient was not amenable to changing narcotics regimen, as he has been stabilized on dosing for some time. Gastroparesis is possible but his nausea is not related to meals and is constant. He may have small bacteria overgrowth as has been seen previously. GERD is less likely given the constant nausea unrelated to meals or positioning. He does have a small bowel resection of 26 cm due to incarcerated bowel but it is less likely that he has short gut given that he has no other symptoms except nausea. His lack of abdominal pain and fevers points away from infectious etiology, and stool studies during this admission have been negative. At this point, he may warrant further work up that may be pursued as a an outpatient per GI. By the time of discharge, he was tolerating po with oral Compazine and Zofran, which he will be discharged on. GI was consulted during admission and guided management. #T1DM: s/p failed pancreas transplant and explantation (___). A1c this admission 6.5%.

Patient has had outpatient echo, which was normal, and a ___ hour holter monitor this month, which was unrevealing. Per the patient's husband, her events have been related to donepezil administration, which does have a 2% risk of syncope. Donepezil was discontinued during this hospitalization. Her labs were only note-able for a mild leukcocytosis upon admission, that resolved on hospital day 2. She did have a faint opacity on CXR but no other clinical s/sx of infection or pneumonia, so she was not treated with full course of abx.

By history His exam is notable for dysarthria (waxing/waning, worse with guttural sounds), mild left upper motor neuron pattern of weakness (in 4+/5 range), and question of mild left nasolabial fold flattening. He was found to have multiple punctate, bilateral, cortically based infarcts on MRI. Etiology for the patient's symptoms is most likely due to underlying hypercoagulability from his malignancy, given the MRI findings of stroke in multiple vascular distributions. Unlikely related to intracranial stenosis given no significant stenosis noted on CTA Head/Neck. Patient remains in house due to persistent orthostatic hypotension. HOSPITAL COURSE BY PROBLEM: #Acute bilateral, punctate ischemic strokes: Workup included MRI brain with and without contrast revealed several small cortical based subacute infarcts in the right precentral gyrus, as well as a focus in the left postcentral gyrus. Distribution is concerning for embolic etiology. No evidence of intracranial metastases. For stroke workup, risk factors included LDL 78, hemoglobin a1c 6.0. Given that stroke from underlying hypercoagulability was most likely--given pancreatic cancer (particularly prone to hypercoagulability related complications) and multiple affected vascular distributions--the patient was started on therapeutic lovenox. This was discussed with his oncologist, Dr. ___. Initially, given concern for perfusion related deficits the patient was placed head of bed flat, but he was able to advance his activity without neurologic symptoms. Otherwise his sugars were well controlled, UA negative for infection and CXR with mild cardiomegaly without infiltrate. Patient expressed willingness to continue therapeutic lovenox moving forward. Neurology follow up was arranged. #Orthostatic hypotension: Patient was noted to have profound orthostatic hypotension during ___ eval on ___. His SBP went from 120s sitting to ___ upon standing. He was symptomatic with mild lightheadedness upon standing as well. He received IVF bolus, low dose IV fluids and started on ___ stockings. Etiology was thought to be due to hypovolemia given poor PO intake in setting of cancer. On ___, he was started on fludrocortisone 0.1mg daily. #Pancreatic Cancer: Defer chemotherapy given acute illness. Patient's oncologist was contacted to inform her about the hospitalization. For pain control, increase MS contin to 60mg TID with immediate release morphine 30mg q4h PRN after discussion with the patient's outpatient palliative care provider. Follow up was arranged with palliative care and oncology. #Anemia of chronic disease: The patient's hemoglobin remained at baseline of ~7.8-8.5. No clinical evidence of bleeding.

There were no epileptiform features. Final diagnosis was polypharmacy induced encephalopathy. Benadryl was discontinued, Clonazepam tapered down and discontinued and Tetrabenzaprine dose halved. Plan to discontinue Tetrabezaprine all together but patient requested it continued. Neuro also felt she definatively has sleep apnea which is likely contributing to poor morning arousability. CPAP was started on the floor and continued as an outpatient. # COPD: Oxygen-dependent COPD (3LPM), s/p respiratory arrest in ___ with protracted intubation course. Labored, tachypnic breathing on admission though without oxygen requirement. After being placed back on home O2 of 2L NC her respiratory status improved and she maintained O2 sats in >95%.

No acute exacerbation during admission. Patient is on Azithromycin chronically as an outpatient, unclear if this can be continued, defer to outpatient pulmonary for that decision. # Glycosuria: 1000 Glu on UA. Serum glucose only 200 so unclear why she is spilling so much glucose. Possibly Fanconi syndrome though patient with normal renal function, phosphate and bicarb slightly elevated. Elevated bicarb likely compensating for chronic CO2 retention, no evidence of RTA to look for Fanconi's. Dilute urine may also indicate she is not concentrating appropriately. Repeat urine continued to show glycosuria. This can be monitored as an outpatient. # Hypertension: Chronic, uncontrolled, asymptomatic at this point, not being treated as an outpatient. Allergy to ACE-I and ARBs which would be first line given possibly renal dysfunction with glycosuria. Consider starting Chlorthalidone as an outpatient. # Diabetes Mellitus: Type II, insulin dependent, complicated by vascular disease. Continued Lantus 20 units QHS and QACHS ___ and HISS, held Metformin while inpatient # Schizoaffective disorder: On typical antipsychotics complicated by movement disorders and tardive dyskinesia. Consider changing medications as there may be contributing to AMS deterioration.

During this admission, while diuresing patient on lasix gtt, other underlying causes for shortness of breath were explored. CT of the chest did not show any evidence of interstitial lung disease or other intrapulmonary processes. She was noted to have some pulmonary hypertension on echocardiogram, however this was more likely related to volume overload with elevated left sided pressures. Pulmonary was consulted and recommended re-trying CPAP, as patient had severe OSA on a past sleep study ___ years prior. Patient tolerated CPAP well. In addition, patient was ruled out for acute coronary syndrome with negative cardiac enzymes x 3, stable EKG, and normal stress test. Patient was diuresed on lasix gtt and lung crackles, shortness of breath, and hypoxia resolved. Once euvolemic, she was transitioned to oral torsemide 100mg daily. She maintained weights and her ins and outs were even on this dose. # ESRD s/p transplant- Baseline creatinine was 2.0-2.4, which has steadily risen during the last 3 admission. Urine sediment has been bland, supporting more hemodynamic instability and poor forward flow, as underlying cause of worsening renal function. Ultrasound of transplanted kidney showed no evidence of arterial stenosis or rejection. Tacrolimus levels were monitored throughout admission, and tacrolimus was titrated to goal trough ___. Patient was continued on mycophenolate mofetil as well. With lasix gtt, creatinine began to downtrend, likely due to improved renal perfusion. Creatinine was slightly increased to 4.5 on torsemide, and renal was aware. She will follow up closely with her nephrologist. # Diastolic heart failure- As above, decompensated heart failure drove shortness of breath and hypoxia. Ruled out for acute ischemic event causing decompensation. no clear precipitating factor for decompensation identified. Patient was diuresed on lasix gtt. Medical management of CHF was altered to decrease risk of ischemia; carvedilol was switched to metoprolol and isosorbide mononitrate was started. Amlodipine was also discontinued as blood pressures were well controlled on the above regimen. # Left leg pain- Patient complained of left leg pain, with point tenderness along tibia. X-ray showed no acute fracture. She was able to bear weight on the leg, and pain improved with standing tylenol ___ TID which should continue until pain improves. # CAD s/p DES to RCA- As above, ruled out for acute ischemic event. Continued aspirin 81mg daily and atorvastatin. # DMII- Patient's blood sugars have been very labile during past admissions, with hypoglycemic episodes. ___ followed closely during last admission with several changes, including discontinuing NPH BID and starting lantus 12 units qHS and repaglinide with humalog sliding scale. Patient was continued on this regimen and blood sugars remained stable. No changes were made to this regimen. # Hypothyroidism- Continued home levothyroxine # Transitional issues- - please continue autoset CPAP at ___ - patient will follow-up with pulmonologist Dr. ___ home CPAP - weight on discharge 63.7kg (140lb)- if weight increases, please increase torsemide dosing</s>
<s>[INST] <<SYS>> Act as a health expert <</SYS>> create brief hospital course of the following text: Mr. ___ is a ___ yo M with a history of afib on Coumadin s/p cryoablation 1 month ago, RNY gastric bypass, and OSA who was admitted to the Acute Care Surgery Service on ___ with right upper quadrant abdominal pain. Ultrasound imaging showed distended gallbladder with thickened wall and perihepatic ascities. Given history of atrial fibrillation on Coumadin with recent cryoablation decision was made to proceed with percutaneous cholecystostmy. he was d/c after doing well, afebrile with stable vital signs. he reports drainage of 100-150cc bilious content per day ever since and came to the ED after the drain had stopped draining abruptly. Denies any fever, chills, nausea, vomiting. Continues to pass gas and have bowel movement. LIVER OR GALLBLADDER US (SINGLE ORGAN) showed 1. The cholecystostomy tube, although seen in the subcutaneous tissues in the right upper quadrant, is not definitively seen within the gallbladder and may have dislodged. 2. The gallbladder is mildly distended with mild asymmetric wall thickening compatible with known cholecystitis. 3. The gallbladder contains an echogenic focus near the neck of the gallbladder which may represent previously seen gallstone. 4. Dilation of the common bowel duct measuring 10 mm is new since the prior study. 5. Borderline splenomegaly. RECOMMENDATION(S): CT or fluoroscopic tube study recommended to confirm placement of the cholecystostomy tube. T-TUBE CHOLANGIO (POST-OP) showed Cholecystostomy tube has displaced with the tip at the level of the right lateral abdominal wall. MRCP showed 1. Interval improvement in the appearance of the gallbladder now partially distended with layering sludge. Persistent 2.0 cm stone in the gallbladder neck. No wall thickening or edema to suggest acute cholecystitis. 2. No pericholecystic fluid collection to suggest bile leak. 3. Cirrhotic liver morphology with small volume ascites and intra-abdominal/paraesophageal varices. 4. Unchanged fusiform dilation of the celiac trunk. NOTIFICATION: The findings were discussed with ___, M.D. by ___ ___, M.D. on the telephone on ___ at 8:54 am, 5 minutes after discovery of the findings. Radiology showed Percutaneous placement of a cholecystostomy tube into the gallbladder was attempted. The pigtail of the cholecystostomy tube was noted to be outside the gallbladder, located between the gallbladder and the hepatic flexure of the colon. An attempt to reposition the tube into the gallbladder was unsuccessful. The surgical attending taking care of the patient was contacted immediately and a decision to remove this tube surgically was made. The patient was then transferred to the surgical ICU in a hemodynamically stable condition. Radiology showed Percutaneous placement of a cholecystostomy tube into the gallbladder was attempted.

The surgical attending taking care of the patient was contacted immediately and a decision to remove this tube surgically was made. The patient was then transferred to the surgical ICU in a hemodynamically stable condition. CHEST PORT LINE/TUBE PLCT 1 EXAM showed The endotracheal tube tip lies approximately 3.5 cm above the carina. Orogastric tube extends to the stomach, though the side port is at or above the esophagogastric junction. It should be pushed forward at least 5-8 cm. When compared with the study of ___, there are much lower lung volumes, which, in addition to the supine rather than upright position of the patient, may account for the the substantial increase in the transverse diameter of the heart and with the mediastinum. No evidence of pulmonary vascular congestion. Although no discrete consolidation is appreciated, given the low lung volumes and size of the cardiac silhouette, it would be impossible to exclude superimposed pneumonia/aspiration in the appropriate clinical setting, especially in the absence of a lateral view. CHEST PORT. LINE PLACEMENT showed In comparison with the earlier study of ___, the right IJ catheter extends to the mid SVC. No evidence of pneumothorax. Otherwise, little change. CHEST (PORTABLE AP) showed In comparison with the study of ___, the monitoring and support devices are unchanged. Again there is substantial enlargement of the cardiac silhouette with pulmonary vascular congestion and bilateral layering pleural effusions with compressive atelectasis at the bases. Given the extensive changes described above, would be very difficult to exclude superimposed aspiration/pneumonia in the appropriate clinical setting, especially in the absence of a lateral view. CHEST (PORTABLE AP) showed Compared to chest radiographs since ___ most recently ___. Previous mild pulmonary edema is almost resolved. Severe cardiomegaly and mediastinal venous engorgement have improved. Patient has been extubated, but atelectasis is relatively mild, right lung base. Small bilateral pleural effusions persist. No pneumothorax. Right jugular line ends in the upper SVC. Radiology showed Streaky opacities in both lower lungs likely reflect atelectasis. No evidence of pulmonary edema. The patient was diagnosed with Displacement of internal prosth dev/grft, init, Exposure to other specified factors, initial encounter, Unspecified abdominal pain, Unspecified atrial fibrillation, Long term (current) use of anticoagulants. The patient was treated with ___: Diagnostic laparoscopy, biliary drain removal and replacement, extensive lysis of adhesions, vac placement, hernia repair. ___: Transesophageal Echocardiogram (TEE) ___: Electrical cardioversion of atrial fibrillation to sinus rhythm.. At the time of discharge, the patient had Displaced percutaneous cholecystostomy tube Sepsis Uncontrolled arial fibrillation with rapid ventricular response. 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>Mr. ___ is a ___ old man with a history of cholecystitis and atrial fibrillation with rapid ventricular response and recent cardiac ablation, who presented ot the ED on ___ when he noted that his percutaneous cholecystostomy tube had been dislodged. He did get a drain study in the ED, which noted the cholecystostomy tube in his subcutaneous tissue. He was admitted to the hospital thereafter because he felt uncomfortable, but that this point he was afebrile with stable vital signs within normal limits, he had no abdominal tenderness, and he had normal LFTs. Interventional radiology was consulted for replacement of the perc chole tube, but given that he had normal labs and was asymptomatic and they were hesitant about reinserting the tube, we agreed to obtain an MRCP to discern if the cystic duct was still obstructed and that he would still need gallbladder drainage. On HD#2, he received 2 units of FFP for elevated INR (patient takes Coumadin at home for afib), and MRCP was performed showing persistent obstruction of cystic duct. Overnight, he developed afib with RVR, and was treated with IV metoprolol. On HD#3, he was triggered for Afib RVR and hypotention requiring fluid bolus, IV metoprolol, and IV diltiazem. He was given another 1U FFP and 10mg IV vitamin K to reverse his INR. With the development of Afib RVR, Mr. ___ then also started to appear diaphoretic, and he did develop some abdominal pain. At this point, since his clinical picture appeared to be trending towards sepsis/recurrent cholecystitis, he was taken urgently to ___ for replacement of the cholecystostomy tube. At this point he was also started on antibiotics. For full details of this procedure, please refer to the separately dictated procedure note. Briefly, the cholecystostomy tube appeared to be inserted through and through the gallbladder and there was some concern of other visceral organ penetrance as there was difficulty withdrawing the tube. He did also develop rigoring and continued to be in rapid ventricular response from afib. He was transferred emergently to the ICU for resuscitation where he was intubated, got an arterial line and central line, and was then taken to the operating room for exploratory laparoscopy. He underwent an exploratory laparoscopy, right upper quadrant washout, removal and replacement of percutaneous cholecystostomy, and midline would vac placement. He appeared to tolerated the procedure well, but was on a low dose of neosynephrine drip by the end of the case, so remained intubated and was transferred back to the ICU for further monitoring. For full details of this procedure, please refer to the separately dictated operative report. He was started on an amiodarone drip overnight for improved rate control with good effect. On POD#1, as he was still on vasopressor, this was changed from neosynephrine to levophed for presumed sepsis. He was weaned to minimal ventilator settings. On POD#2, he was weaned off of levophed. He was extubated without issue. He started to trial a clear liquid diet which he tolerated well. His amiodarone drip was transitioned to PO; however, he then briefly required a diltiazem drip for rate control. He was changed to PO overnight. He was briefly on neosynephrine again overnight, but this was weaned off by POD#3. On POD#3, his PO diltiazem was increased in dosage. He was allowed to have a regular diet, which he tolerated well. His wound vac was changed and the base appeared to be clean and healing well. His foley was discontinued, along with his arterial line and central line. He was restarted on his home Coumadin. At this point, he was deemed stable for transfer to the floor. POD4 the patient completed course of antibiotics. Physical therapy worked with the patient and was recommending rehab. The patient continued to have episodes of atrial fibrillation with RVR. Cardiology was uptitrating medications without good effect in controlling heart rate. The patient was also having episodes of hypotension, which were responsive to fluid resuscitation. Given the inability to control the patient's rates with antiarrhythmics and nodal blockade, cardiology opted to proceed with TEE due to subtherapeutic INR ___ followed by DC cardioversion. On ___, the patient underwent successful DC cardioversion, which he tolerated well. Post cardioversion, the patient was in normal sinus rhythm. He resumed his home AF regimen of digoxin and amiodarone, and was educated on the importance of maintaining a therapeutic INR and cardiology follow-up. Physical therapy re-evaluated the patient and he was cleared for discharge home with ___. During this hospitalization, the patient ambulated early and frequently, was adherent with respiratory toilet and incentive spirometry, and actively participated in the plan of care. The patient received subcutaneous heparin until INR was therapeutic, and venodyne boots were used during this stay. At the time of discharge, the patient was doing well, afebrile with stable vital signs. The patient was tolerating a regular diet, ambulating, voiding without assistance, and pain was well controlled. The percutaneous cholecystostomy tube was draining bile and the patient's surgical wound was filling in with healthy granulation tissue. The JP drain was draining serosanguinous fluid. The patient was discharged home with ___ services for wound VAC care and drain care. The patient and his partner received discharge teaching and follow-up instructions with understanding verbalized and agreement with the discharge plan.</s>

TRANSITIONAL ISSUES =================== [] please control pain with po liquid oxycodone and IV ketorolac and increase frequency as needed [] please turn q2hrs [] for diet, recommend small bites with soft solids and thin liquids [] patient on dexamethasone taper for her altered mental status: discharged on 8mg qam ___, 6mg qam ___, 4mg qam ___, 2mg ___, 1mg ___ ACUTE ISSUES ============ # Poorly Differentiated Neuroendocrine Carcinoma # Headache # Right-sided head & face pain # Focal neuro deficits: facial droop, LLE weakness # Encephalopathy Has poorly differentiated neuroendocrine carcinoma in R temporal fossa s/p resection and 6 cycles of chemotherapy. CT torso w/o evidence of metastatic disease. Her hospital course was complicated by a brain bleed (new foci of intraparenchymal hematoma and small subarachnoid hemorrhage in the right frontotemporal region). Neurosurgery evaluated and said there was no plan for surgical intervention. Chronic Pain team was consulted and she was not a candidate for pericranial nerve block due to tumor invasion through temporal bone at that site. She was started on SBRT by Radiation Oncology on ___, received 15 daily fractions during this admission with improvement in headache and facial pain. She was given dexamethasone 4mg Q6H with calcium (with planned taper) and Bactrim for PCP prophylaxis while on dex. Palliative Care was consulted for goals of care discussion and symptom management, recommended regimen of tapering her steroids and not checking her vitals at night. Throughout her hospitalization, the patient had episodes of hypersomnolence. Repeat NCHCT showed stable bleed. Her mental status also waxed and waned in the few days prior to discharge. It was deemed that waxing and waning encephalopathy is partly related to intraparenchymal hemorrhage, hospital stay induced delirium, fluctuating blood glucose, and residual effects from her tumor. # GOALS OF CARE Given patient's somnolence and confusion in her final week in the hospital, her deconditioned state, and her poor candidacy for rehab, family meeting held and goals of care clarified. Patient's HCP ___ expressed that patient did not want to "be connected to lines and tubes without chance of recovery." Medical team described that she would likely not benefit from immunotherapy given her current clinical state and decision was made to arrange for hospice. # HYPOGLYCEMIA During her steroid taper, she continued to have BGs in the AM around 50's and 60's. For this we decreased glargine to 9 units and short acting to 6 BF, 10 lunch, 4 dinner. We continued to monitor for signs of hypoglycemia. As she is going to hospice, she will not need further insulin. # HYPERCALCEMIA Serum calcium level gradually trended up while she was here. Initially this was attributed to HCTZ. She was also given IV fluids to help correct her calcium. Corrected calcium on discharge 11. # SHOULDER PAIN Patient complained of right shoulder pain acutely, likely secondary to her myeloma. X-rays on ___ showed no acute fracture or osteosclerotic lesions # Acute Kidney Injury She had ___ while she was here, most likely ___ her poor PO intake. She received IVF 500cc bolus x 2 and the ___ resolved. On discharge, Cr was 0.9. # Thrush During her hospitalzation she was found to have oropharyngeal thrush. She attempted clotrimazole troches but could not tolerate this well. Her thrush improved on oral fluconazole 200mg q24hours for 7 days and nystatin suspension four times a day. On discharge she had no signs or sx of thrush. # Internal iliac vein thrombosis CT abdomen with incidentally noted filling defect in the left internal iliac vein concerning for thrombus. Given her recent IPH (___), she was not put on systemic anticoagulation. # Dysphagia # Nutrition Pt with poor PO intake in setting of dysphagia ___ IPH and midline shift. Nutrition consulted, started multivitamin with minerals, Glucerna shake supplements. SLP evaluated, recommended small bites with soft solids and thin liquids. # Hypertension Continued home amlodipine at higher dose as well as lisinopril. Her HCTZ was discontinued as she was hypercalcemic during her hospitalization. Stopped anithypertensives on discharge. # Mild leukocytosis Mild leukocytosis likely ___ dexamethasone. Pt afebrile and HDS. No new localizing infectious symptoms. UA without bacteria. # Anemia: microcytic, has been stable above transfusion threshold throughout her hospital stay This patient was prescribed, or continued on, an opioid pain medication at the time of discharge (please see the attached medication list for details). As part of our safe opioid prescribing process, all patients are provided with an opioid risks and treatment resource education sheet and encouraged to discuss this therapy with their outpatient providers to determine if opioid pain medication is still indicated.</s>

Radiology showed Three views of the left foot show that there has been an amputation of the third ray at the level of the body of the proximal phalanx of that toe, after prior amputation of the left second ray, at the level of the metatarsophalangeal joints. Without earlier postoperative films, I cannot say whether there is a change in the extent of demineralization and cortical irregularity of the incised end of the proximal phalanx of the third toe. Prior radiographs needs to be obtained to see if this is evidence of osteomyelitis. There are mild-to-moderate degenerative changes including joint space narrowing and sclerosis of articular endplates.

Thoracic spinal hardware is again seen. A left subclavian PICC line remains in place with the tip difficult to identify on the current examination as it overlies the spinal hardware but it is likely not significantly changed in position with its tip somewhere within the mid-to-distal superior vena cava. Overall, cardiac and mediastinal contours are stable. Lungs appear well inflated without evidence of focal air space consolidation to suggest pneumonia. A linear opacity in the left base is again seen, likely reflecting scarring or subsegmental atelectasis. No pneumothorax. No evidence of pulmonary edema.

Coarsened hepatic echotexture could be secondary to underlying hepatitis, although cirrhosis could also have this appearance. 2. Hypoechoic 16 x 9 mm structure within or just adjacent to the pancreatic neck could be a lymph node or pancreatic lesion. Further evaluation with CT or MRI is recommended.

Hospital course complicated by foot wound infection (recent amputation at ___), blood stream infection with multiple highly resistant bacteria and yeast while on broad-spectrum antibiotics, raising high suspicion for self-contamination of PICC line. Patient left AMA after her PICC-line was removed after switching from IV to PO antibiotics. # Multi-organism bacteremia: Pt was originally started on bactrim for possible infection of site of left toes amputation. Wound grew proteus not sensitive to bactrim, and patient was started on vanc/zosyn, continued for 2 week course on vanc/cefepime which was then changed to vanc/ctx. Blood cultures negative until ___, the last day of her 2-week course, when she spiked a fever to 103. Over the course of the next 2 weeks, blood cultures from the PICC line, grew Ochrobactrum, Enterococcus, Lactobacillus, Trichosporon, and Rothia Mucilaginosa. Patient remained afebrile with normal WBC. It was felt that pt was tampering with her PICC line as it seemed unusual that she would be growing so many different organisms from the blood ___ such a short period of time while on broad spectrum antibiotics. Abx initially changed from from vanc/CTX to vanc/cefepime, then patient developed eosinophilia, and cefepime was felt to be the culprit. She was put on vanc/meropenem. Her urine grew out VRE and so vanc was changed to IV daptomycin. Micafungin started once blood grew yeast, then narrowed to voriconazole once yeast identified as Trichosporon. Ophthalmology eval showed no concern of eye infection.

Case manager attempted to obtain Linezolid and Voriconazole for patient at the ___ pharmacy, but she refused and left AMA with prescriptions only. # Eosinophilia - pt developed eosinophilia up to 20+%, with absolute eosinophil count >1000 for several days. Was felt to be possible allergic reaction to cefepime which was changed to meropenem. However, eosinophilia did not resolve after cefepime was discontinued. Unclear source. Could be from contamination of PICC. Pt denies urticaria/shortness of breath. No evidence of foreign objects. # L toe amputation- Patient had amputation of a toe on her left foot the week prior to admission due to ___ bite and osteomyelitis. The incision site was noted to have a small amount of purulent drainage with a foul odor. She was seen by podiatry who recommended foot xrays which showed no clear evidence of osteomyelitis but difficult to assess. Bone biopsy sent during the amputation at ___ with report that there was no concern for osteomyelitis, sample with clean margins. See antibiotics course as above. MRI of foot x2 showed enhancement at site of amputation, likely post-op changes but could not rule out osteomyelitis. Given the multi-organism blood stream infection, foot is a very unlikely source. At the time of discharge, her foot wound was clean and dry. # SI- patient initially endorsed SI with plan to overdose on medications. She was initially met ___ criteria per psychiatry. She subsequently reported resolution of suicidal intent. Psychiatry felt she was no longer a threat to herself and therefore did not require psych hospitalization. # Placement- Patient was evaluated ___ the ED by physical therapy and occupational therapy who felt she would benefit from SNF placement.
