he had been living at for the day prior to admission. he is a social drinker and has a 40-pack-year smoking history; although, he quit smoking 20 years ago. physical examination on presentation: initial physical examination revealed temperature was 96.1 degrees fahrenheit, heart rate was 83, blood pressure was 124/42 (following administration of 3 liters of normal saline), respiratory was 24, and his oxygen saturation was 100% on 2 liters nasal cannula. his heart had a regular rate and rhythm. there were normal first and second heart sounds. there was a 2/6 systolic ejection murmur, and there were no rubs or gallops. his lungs were clear to auscultation bilaterally. his abdomen was soft, nontender, and nondistended, and there were hypoactive bowel sounds. he had a palpable bypass graft pulse, dorsalis pedis and posterior tibialis pulses bilaterally; and his surgical incision was clean, dry, and intact. please note that the above examination was done by the vascular surgery team, which was the team that was initially planning to admit the patient to the hospital. pertinent laboratory data on presentation: on initial laboratory evaluation the patient had a white blood cell count of 12.7, hematocrit was 30.2, and platelets were 282,000. his pt was 13.5, ptt was 30.7, and inr was 1.3. his serum chemistries revealed sodium was 136, potassium was 5.4, chloride was 99, bicarbonate was 25, blood urea nitrogen was 53, creatinine was 3.2, and blood glucose was 91. his calcium was 8.2, magnesium was 2.4, and phosphate was 4.8. blood cultures drawn on admission were pending, but ultimately negative. a urine culture taken on admission was initially pending, but ultimately grew out yeast. a sputum culture taken on admission was also initially pending, but ultimately also grew out yeast. radiology/imaging: his admission chest x-ray demonstrated stable prominence of the right main pulmonary artery; no focal areas of consolidation; overall stable appearance of the chest compared with a study. no radiographic evidence of congestive heart failure or pneumonia. his admission electrocardiogram demonstrated a sinus rhythm, nonspecific inferior/lateral t wave changes, low qrs voltages in the limb leads, and t wave changes in v5 and v6 when compared with an electrocardiogram dated . an initial abdominal ct was a limited noncontrast examination that demonstrated diffuse vascular calcifications. no evidence of an abdominal aortic aneurysm or free fluid, incompletely imaged coronary artery calcification, a simple left renal cyst, sigmoid diverticulosis, and an enlarged and partially calcified prostate gland. hospital course by system: 1. cardiovascular: the patient was initially admitted to the vascular intensive care unit with hypotension, decreased urine output, and acute renal failure; most likely secondary to a presumed gram-negative urosepsis (although there were never any positive culture data to confirm this diagnosis). while boarding in the medical intensive care unit on the night of admission, the patient had a sudden cardiorespiratory arrest. he was resuscitated with epinephrine, lidocaine, and direct current cardioversion times four. he was also intubate for airway protection. following these measures, the patient returned to a sinus rhythm with a systolic blood pressure of approximately 100; the total time elapsed from the beginning of the arrest to the return of a pulse was approximately 16 minutes. he subsequently required double pressors to maintain his blood pressure. an echocardiogram performed at the bedside demonstrated a trivial pericardial effusion and a left ventricular ejection fraction of 20% to 25% in the setting of tachycardia and a hyperdynamic right ventricle; suggesting elevated right-sided filling pressures. although the definitive etiology of this arrest remained unknown, the most likely trigger was a non-q-wave myocardial infarction, as his troponin values were elevated to greater than 50 following his arrest. a repeat echocardiogram done on demonstrated mild left atrial dilation, an ejection fraction of 15% to 20%, resting regional wall motion abnormalities including inferior, mid, and apical left ventricular akinesis, depressed right ventricular systolic function, and moderate mitral regurgitation. compared with the prior study of ; the left ventricular function was unchanged. there was moderate mitral regurgitation, and the right ventricular function appeared worse. on , the patient was loaded with amiodarone and was subsequently started on oral amiodarone. the following day, he was started on heparin intravenously given his elevated serum troponin to greater than 50; this medication was continued for 72 hours. given his elevated troponins and non-q-wave myocardial infarction, the patient was a candidate for cardiac catheterization. after discussions between the medical intensive care unit team and the patient's family, however, the decision was made to not pursue further invasive procedures given that the patient had been made do not resuscitate/do not intubate following the resuscitation mentioned above, and his family no longer wished for aggressive resuscitating measures. by , he was off pressors and he was restarted on a beta blocker and ace inhibitor at low doses. on the evening of , the patient complained of substernal chest pain that was relieved by npg sl and morphine. he also had st segment depressions in v2 and v3 that reverted to baseline after the resolution of his pain. therefore, the patient was again started on heparin; although, this was discontinued on when the patient ruled out for a myocardial infarction by cardiac enzymes. he again had substernal chest pain on ; although, he had no electrocardiogram changes, and he again ruled out for a myocardial infarction by cardiac enzymes. by hospital day four, the patient began to develop evidence of congestive heart failure given his aggressive fluid resuscitation, and gentle diuresis with furosemide was begun. by the time of his transfer to the general medicine service on , the patient was still significantly volume overloaded following his aggressive fluid resuscitation in the medical intensive care unit. therefore, he was continued on the program of gentle diuresis given that he was having signs and symptoms of right-sided congestive heart failure. he achieved adequate diuresis by the time of his discharge to rehabilitation, as his oxygen saturation was greater than 95% on 2 liters nasal cannula. 2. infectious disease/sepsis: the patient was started on gentamicin and piperacillin/tazobactam in addition to the levofloxacin, metronidazole, and vancomycin he was already taking for right lower extremity cellulitis prior to admission for empiric coverage of a presumed gram-negative urosepsis, and he was aggressively hydrated with intravenous fluids. on , his levofloxacin and metronidazole was discontinued, and he was started on fluconazole given the growth of yeast on urine culture. he was taken off of gentamicin on hospital day three, and his fluconazole was discontinued on hospital day five (as per the infectious disease service). he was taken off of vancomycin on , and his piperacillin/tazobactam was discontinued on . despite the presumption of a gram-negative urosepsis precipitating this admission, the patient did not have any positive blood or urine cultures aside from the growth of yeast in two urine cultures noted above. he remained afebrile both before and after discontinuation of his antibiotics, and he was found to be clostridium difficile negative on . 3. pulmonary: as noted above, the patient was intubated and he was extubated on . he subsequently developed wheezing and mild hypoxia; most likely secondary to cardiac asthma and fluid overload in the setting of his aggressive fluid resuscitation. he was gently diuresed toward the end of his hospitalization, and by the time of his he was maintaining an oxygen saturation of greater than 95% on 2 liters nasal cannula, intermittent ipratropium nebulizers, and chest physical therapy for clearance of his respiratory secretions. 4. renal: the patient presented with acute renal failure and prerenal azotemia that rapidly resolved following fluid resuscitation. by the time of discharge, his serum creatinine was stable and at his preadmission baseline. 5. nutrition: the patient was found to be profoundly malnourished with a serum albumin of 1.8 on admission. once he was extubated and taking orals, he performed poorly on a modified barium swallowing study and was started on a thin liquid, ground-solid diet with whole medication tablets, small bites and sips, upright posture with meals, and aspiration precautions. he was also given promod shakes with and between meals for nutritional supplementation of his heart-healthy/diabetic diet. 6. vascular: the patient's operative incisions and foot ulcers continued to heal throughout this admission. he was started on an multivitamin, vitamin c, and zinc for improved wound healing. 7. hematology: the patient was transfused one unit of packed red blood cells on to maintain a hematocrit of greater than 30 given his history of severe coronary artery disease. his hematocrit subsequently remained stable. condition at discharge: condition on discharge was stable. discharge status: rehabilitation facility. discharge diagnoses: 1. cardiorespiratory arrest. 2. non-q-wave myocardial infarction. 3. acute renal failure. 4. coronary artery disease with diffuse 3-vessel disease; right-dominant, status post proximal left circumflex stent in with occlusion of distal left circumflex; status post right coronary artery stent on (no percutaneous coronary intervention to 99%, distal left circumflex, 80% small proximal left anterior descending artery, 80% small distal left anterior descending artery). 5. congestive heart failure (with an ejection fraction of 15% to 20%). 6. type 2 diabetes with neuropathy. 7. hypertension. 8. diverticulosis (found on colonoscopy in ). 9. alzheimer's dementia. 10. history of gastrointestinal bleed (while the patient was taking eptifibatide). 11. cardiac risk factors (with a baseline creatinine of 1.4 to 1.6). 12. history of methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus and pseudomonas growth in wound cultures. 13. severe peripheral vascular disease;

although, the tricuspid valve was obscured by her peripherally inserted central catheter line. the subsequent surveillance blood cultures from on were negative, and the patient was to be continued on vancomycin intravenously for a 3-week course. after that time, blood cultures should be repeated for surveillance. the patient remained afebrile during the remainder of her hospital stay. 3. cirrhosis issues: the patient has child a class cirrhosis from a liver biopsy done in . her cirrhosis was thought to be secondary to her highly active antiretroviral therapy. she was to follow up with dr. in for a visit. a right upper quadrant ultrasound was performed as the patient's alanine-aminotransferase was slightly elevated and was within normal limits. 4. human immunodeficiency virus issues: the patient was restarted on her highly active antiretroviral therapy regimen on hospital day four. the patient tolerated these medications without any problems. she was also continued on acyclovir and fluconazole for prophylaxis. the patient was to follow up with dr. in clinic over the next two weeks. 5. diabetes mellitus issues: the patient was placed on original regimen of lantus without a sliding-scale secondary to her steroid taper. her blood sugars remained elevated while in house; ranging from the 200s to the 400s. her lantus was increased to 12 units subcutaneously in the morning, and her sliding-scale was increased as well with improved blood sugars. she was to be discharged on 12 units of lantus in the morning with a strict sliding-scale for the next three days until her prednisone is tapered; at which time her lantus will be decreased to 7 units in the morning, and her sliding-scale will be decreased as well. 6. hypothyroidism issues: the patient was continued on her levoxyl. 7. access issues: a peripherally inserted central catheter line was placed on for intravenous antibiotics. it was found to be in the right atrium on chest x-ray and was pulled back 6 cm with a repeat chest x-ray location in the superior vena cava. she will need the peripherally inserted central catheter line for 14 more days as she finishes her course of intravenous vancomycin. condition at discharge: condition on discharge was good. discharge status: the patient was discharged to home. discharge instructions/followup: the patient was instructed to follow up with dr. for cirrhosis and with dr. for her human immunodeficiency virus. she was to follow up with dr. and dr. next friday for primary care. medications on discharge: 1. prednisone 40 mg once per day times three days;

heart rate 76; weight 160 pounds. abdomen soft and nontender. she has a peritoneal dialysis catheter in the right lower quadrant. she has good femoral pulses bilaterally. mild pedal edema. hospital course: on , the patient went to the operating room for living donor kidney transplant, performed by dr. and assisting by dr. . please see details of this surgery in operating room note. also during her operating room time, the patient also had a right iliac artery thrombosis. it was noted that at the end of the completion of the procedure, that she had an ischemic appearing right foot and absence of a right femoral pulse. in the operation, there was some difficulty with arterial anastomosis, renal artery to the left iliac artery and dr. came to assist dr. . again, please see details of that operation in the operative report. postoperatively, the patient went to the intensive care unit. the patient had an a line, a central line, foley. she was placed on a heparin drip to keep ptt between 45 and 50. the patient's dressing was clean, dry and intact. the patient had 2 drains in place. good femoral pulse and good dorsalis pedis pulse. these pulses were palpable. the patient was making good urine output postoperatively. renal was consulted and made recommendations. postoperatively, the patient had a renal ultrasound demonstrating an unremarkable renal transplant ultrasound with normal size and appearance of the transplanted kidney and normal arterial wave forms and resistive disease, ranging from 0.63 to 0.75 throughout. on postoperative day number one, the patient had another ultrasound secondary to her hematocrit decreasing and they wanted to rule out hematoma. the ultrasound demonstrated that there was no hematoma seen adjacent to the transplanted kidney. the transplanted kidney is minimally changed from yesterday which was on with a small amount of pelvic ectasis. relatively unchanged resistive indices. the patient did get multiple transfusions for her low hematocrit. her heparin was discontinued on . the patient received 1/2 cc per cc of replacement and on , tacrolimus was started. on , the patient had some complaint of right foot numbness. lower extremity ultrasound was obtained to rule out deep venous thrombosis and this showed no evidence of right lower extremity deep venous thrombosis. on , wbc was 2.9, hematocrit of 35.2. also on , pt was 13.5, ptt was 36.7, inr of 1.2. sodium that day was 129 and 4.4, 100 bun, creatinine of 69 and 6.2 with a glucose of 96. vascular surgery continued to see the patient. it was decided that hematocrit was stable, that heparin could be continued. the patient was restarted on heparin. the patient still complained of right foot numbness but it was about the same and not worse. she was continued on all of her immunosuppressive medications, including tacrolimus, valcyte, cellcept, bactrim, solu-medrol. the patient was transitioned from heparin to coumadin. the patient was transferred to the floor, continued to make excellent urine output. the patient had another ultrasound on because there was blood in her drain and with the decreasing hematocrit. ultrasound demonstrated normal arterial and venous color, blood flow and wave form with normal residual indices. 7.6 by 3.5 cm fluid collection, likely simply fluid, anterior to the contrast. focal area of heterogeneity within the lateral aspect of the mid pole, probably which demonstrates normal blood flow and may represent artifact; however, attention to this area on a follow up scan is recommended to document interval change or resolution. on , the patient's right lower extremity was swollen. the patient complained of right hip and thigh pain, pitting edema of right lower extremity greater than left lower extremity so an ultrasound was performed which included the right iliac artery. this demonstrated acute deep venous thrombosis within the right common femoral and superficial femoral veins which had developed since . there is a right groin hematoma which was unchanged. the patient continued to be anticoagulated for dvt. one drain was eventually removed, continued on with drain output of 170, afebrile, vital signs stable. she went home with services on the following medications: valcyte 450 mg q. day, bactrim ss 1 tab q. day, protonix 40 mg q. day, nystatin 5 ml suspension, 5 ml four times a day, colace 100 mg twice a day, movlapine 10 mg q. day, percocet 22 tabs q. day, lopressor 100 mg twice a day, mmf 500 mg q.o.d. coumadin 2 mg q. day. this should be monitored to keep the inr between 2 and 3. reglan 10 mg four times a day before meals and at bedtime. tacrolimus 10 mg p.o. twice a day. potassium sodium phosphate, one packet q. day and compazine 10 mg q. 6 hours prn. the patient has a follow up appointment with dr. , please call for an appointment. the patient needs to change dressings on her wound twice a day located on her groin, place a dry gauze between the wound and her skin. no heavy lifting of greater than 10 pounds for the first 6 weeks after surgery. diagnoses: end stage renal disease, status post renal transplant. arterial thrombosis. deep venous thrombosis. resolving hypertension. , Procedure: Other kidney transplantation Transfusion of packed cells Repair of blood vessel with synthetic patch graft Incision of vessel, abdominal arteries Transplant from live related donor Diagnoses: Hyperpotassemia Anemia, unspecified Personal history of tobacco use Hypertensive chronic kidney disease, unspecified, with chronic kidney disease stage V or end stage renal disease Peripheral vascular complications, not elsewhere classified Disorders of phosphorus metabolism |
past medical history: hypertension. admission medications: the patient was on no medications upon admission. allergies: the patient has no known drug allergies. family history: unknown. social history: the patient lives . physical examination on admission: during the five minute examination, the patient became progressively less responsive and then vomited requiring intubation and paralytics during the examination. vital signs: blood pressure 229/137, heart rate 85, respiratory rate 20, temperature 98.8. general: this was a well-developed african-american male. heent: the neck

nondistended with no hepatomegaly. extremities: no clubbing, cyanosis or edema noted. neurologic: on the mental status examination, the patient was alert but nonverbal. language was aphasic but can comprehend one-step commands. there was no evidence of neglect. the patient can follow one-step commands. on the cranial nerve examination, his optic disk margins were sharp. his extraocular eye movements were intact. his pupils were equal and reactive to light. his face was symmetrical at rest. motor: he had normal bulk and tone with no tremors. his power was 0/5 in the right arm and leg. his left arm and leg was apparently . sensory: he was reactive to noxious stimuli in all four extremities. his reflexes were minimal throughout. his toes were mute bilaterally. coordination and gait examination was not tested. laboratory/radiologic data: white count 7.5, hematocrit 45, platelets 258,000. pt 12.7, ptt 21.7, inr 1.1. the ekg was normal sinus rhythm at 99 with normal axis and intervals. lvh was noted. there were t wave inversions in i, ii, iii, avl, v1 through v3. serum and urine toxicology was negative. esr was 18. the urinalysis was negative. ct scan of the head showed 55 by 55 by 21 mm left putaminal bleed with a 5 mm midline shift to the right. chest x-ray showed cardiomegaly with chf. hospital course: 1. neurologic: left putaminal bleed secondary to presumed hypertension. the patient's blood pressure was initially controlled with a nipride drip to keep the cephalic pressure between 130-160. the nipride drip was then weaned as labetalol iv was added along with a nicardipine drip. the patient was also given dilantin load followed by a maintenance dose of 400 mg q.d. his level has been therapeutic around 20. considerations for a cta and angiogram for possible avm or aneurysm were considered but the patient's renal function and health status did not allow such studies to be done at the current time. repeated noncontrast ct of the head revealed no increase in the bleeding but showed subsequently increases in cerebral edema with some pressure onto the brain stem. the patient's neurological examination did deteriorate to the point that he only had reactive pupils that were equal and intact corneal reflexes. in addition, he had a gag reflex. however, he began to not move any extremities and not respond to any noxious stimuli in the four extremities. by 4:00 p.m. on , his neurological condition deteriorated to the point that his pupils were dilated and nonreactive. he lost gag and corneal reflex. calorics were done at this time which revealed no response. neurosurgery was reconsulted for a question of craniotomy but they felt that the patient would not be a candidate for the surgery in that it would not help him. mannitol was then started along with hyperventilation to keep the pc02 below 30 in an attempt to decrease the cerebral edema. despite clinical examination that the patient is clinically brain dead, the family wishes to continue aggressive treatment. the family requested that the patient be transferred to the . however, dr. at the stroke service said that the patient would not be accepted at the given that there would be no other intervention that would be done differently at . 2. cardiovascular: as mentioned above, the patient was initially started on a nipride drip to control the blood pressure between 130-160. however, he was slowly weaned off the nipride to be switched over to cardene drip. the cardene drip was then weaned to allow for the addition of p.o. labetalol. three serial cks and troponins were checked and found to be negative, thus, ruling the patient out for a myocardial infarction. 3. pulmonary: the patient was initially intubated when first seen down in the emergency room for airway protection since he vomited. he then showed a left lower lobe pneumonia on the chest x-ray. he was started on levofloxacin and flagyl since the day of admission for aspiration pneumonia. vancomycin was added on day number four of hospitalization due to sputum cultures showing staphylococcus aureus coagulase-positive organisms and gram-negative rods. susceptibilities are still pending. the patient did have one or two episodes of desaturation secondary to breathing trials and increased secretion in his nostrils. in an attempt to decongest him, saline nasal spray was started. 4. renal: acute renal failure secondary to dehydration. the patient's creatinine upon admission was 1.4 and continued to rise to 2 as he started third spacing his fluids. urine electrolytes were checked which showed a phena of less than 1 which is evidence of the patient being dehydrated and prerenal. he was subsequently given iv fluids and his creatinine improved to 1.6. a renal ultrasound was done which showed no evidence of hydronephrosis. 5. infectious disease: leukocytosis: given the aspiration pneumonia and elevated white count of 18.6, levofloxacin and flagyl were started on the day of admission. blood cultures were obtained. the first two sets showed one out of four blood cultures that grew staphylococcus coagulase-negative. since this was deemed a contaminent, no further antibiotics were given. however, on day number four of hospitalization, his sputum culture returned showing staphylococcus coagulase-positive organisms so vancomycin was added. more blood cultures were drawn but nothing has grown to date. 6. gastrointestinal: the patient was given and orogastric tube for tube feeds. he had some high residuals so the tube feeds were stopped. reglan was then administered to promote gi motility so that the tube feeds could be restarted. 7. fluids, electrolytes, and nutrition: hyponatremia: the patient's sodium slowly fell from 136 upon admission to 130 on the fourth day of hospitalization. it was felt that this was due to salt wasting from his cerebral problems so he was then fluid restricted. although he has acute renal failure secondary to dehydration and third spacing, it was felt that he needed to be fluid restricted given that the overall hyponatremia was more likely due to salt wasting. , m.d. dictated by: medquist36 Procedure:

mild linear hyperdensity within the basal cisterns of this could be hemorrhage, occasionally the tributaries of the circle of can be somewhat denser appearing, in the setting of increased intracranial pressure, which would mimic the presence of subarachnoid blood. no other new intracranial or extracranial abnormalities are discerned. conclusion: possible small amount of subarachnoid blood or relatively stagnant vascular flow, in the face of increased intracranial pressure, as noted above. we have telephoned (dr. with this report immediately after the conclusion of the study. addendum:

with gadolinium enhancement. comparison studies: none available at this time. wet read report: dr. interpreted this study as revealing "bilateral parenchymal masses, suggesting metastatic disease. the largest mass in the right parietal lobe has a complex appearance, at least 5 cm in greatest dimension with at least 8 cm greatest dimension of surrounding edema and 7 mm leftward midline shift." dr. is a member of the "nighthawk" radiology group. findings: the study indeed reveals a large right parietal, irregularly thick ring enhancing mass, possibly with some tiny "daughter" cystic components extending towards the cortical surface. as mentioned in the wet , there is a substantial area of surrounding edema, with effacement of the right atrium and approximately 7 mm leftward subfalcine herniation. a smaller area of edema is seen within the white matter of the left occipital lobe, but i cannot delineate any specific area of enhancement associated with it. a third, very well circumscribed 18 x 26 mm area of elevated t2 signal is seen contiguous to the left temporal lobe, and it is difficult to determine whether the lesion is intra- or extra-axial in locale. again, there is no associated enhancement and no abnormal susceptibility is noted, either. on the coronal post-contrast images, there is a questionable area of enhancement, approximately 3 mm, immediately subjacent to the left temporal lesion- i am not certain that the two findings are necessarily related. the principal vascular flow patterns are identified. there is no overt extracranial abnormality noted. conclusion: large right parietal lobe mass, which may represent either a primary or metastatic brain neoplasm. the additional abnormalities within the left temporal lobe and left occipital lobe, while they may represent extremely unusual manifestations of metastatic disease, which would then render the right parietal lobe lesion more likely metastatic, could have alternative diagnoses, including hemorrhage or a calcified left temporal meningioma as an explanation for the left temporal lesion, and either an inflammatory or ischemic process to account for the left occipital lesion. i discussed this case this morning with dr. , it was decided that a non-contrast head ct scan would be a helpful followup diagnostic procedure to further characterize the left cerebral hemispheric lesions prior to brain biopsy of the right parietal lesion. dr. approved: 4:07 pm chest (portable ap) 3:50 pm chest (portable ap) reason: please evaluate preop medical condition: 50 year old woman

history of present illness: mr. is a 72-year-old male with a past medical history significant for pancreatic cancer, ulcerative colitis, hypertension, status post endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography, and status post total abdominal colectomy 20 years ago with an end-ileostomy. the patient underwent an endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography recently, but a stent was unable to be placed. a computed tomography was performed which demonstrated a head of the pancreas mass with dilated intrahepatic duct along with vascular involvement of the gastroduodenal artery and superior mesenteric vein. he presented for exploratory laparotomy with possible pancreatic mass resection. past medical history: 1. ulcerative colitis. 2. hypertension. 3. benign prostatic

physical examination on presentation: the patient is a thin, cachectic caucasian male who was alert and oriented times three. in no apparent distress. the sclerae were anicteric. the patient was jaundiced. the oropharynx was clear with moist mucous membranes. the neck was supple and without lymphadenopathy. the heart was regular in rate and rhythm. the lungs were clear to auscultation bilaterally. the abdomen was soft, nontender, and nondistended. there was a well-healed midline scar and ileostomy present. the extremities were warm without cyanosis, clubbing, or edema. pertinent laboratory values on presentation: his hematocrit was 43.2. his inr was 1.2. creatinine was 1.6. aspartate aminotransferase was 51, his alanine-aminotransferase was 89, his alkaline phosphatase was 395, and his total bilirubin was 12.5. brief summary of hospital course: on the day of admission, the patient was taken to the operating room where an exploratory laparotomy was performed. the patient had evidence of unresectable pancreatic cancer with biliary obstruction seen intraoperatively. adhesiolysis was therefore performed along with a roux-en-y hepaticojejunostomy, and open cholecystectomy, an open pancreatic biopsy, and a gastrojejunostomy. the estimated blood loss for the procedure was 250 cc. the patient was discharged to the regular hospital floor after being extubated in the postanesthesia care unit in good condition. in the evening on postoperative day one, the patient was taken back to the operating room emergently for likely mesenteric bleeding. this was controlled with suture ligation, and the patient was admitted to the surgical intensive care unit postoperatively for close monitoring. the patient remained intubated in the intensive care unit on pressor support and received total parenteral nutrition until postoperative day seven. at this time, the patient's mental status was extremely labile requiring haldol for agitation. the patient's hematocrit was stable at 35.8 at this time. tube feeds were initiated on postoperative day eight. on postoperative day nine, the patient was transferred to the regular hospital floor. at this time, tube feeds were held for elevated residuals and nausea. he was still receiving total parenteral nutrition at this time. the patient's mental status was still not completely improved. a computed tomography scan was performed on postoperative day ten which did not demonstrate any intra-abdominal pathology. the patient was started on sips on postoperative day eleven and was started on his home medications. at this time, he was seen by the physical therapy service and was being screened for rehabilitation placement. however, on the evening on postoperative day twelve the patient spiked a temperature to 101.5 degrees fahrenheit. a fever workup was done including a chest x-ray and blood cultures. early the next morning, the patient was found unresponsive without a pulse at approximately 2:45 a.m. at this time, a code blue was called and advanced cardiac life support protocol was initiated. however, the patient was asystolic without any respiratory effort at this time. he did receive multiple rounds of epinephrine along with attempts at ventilation. however, the patient never regained electrical activity and was pronounced deceased at 2:57 a.m. the patient's wife was notified at this time. however, a postmortem examination was declined. condition at discharge: the patient expired on . , m.d. dictated by: medquist36 Procedure: Continuous invasive mechanical ventilation for

history of present illness: this is a 39-year-old woman with diabetes, hypertension, hyperlipidemia and obesity, with a one to two months of chest burning with exertion. for the past six months, she has been participating in a new vigorous exercise program to lose weight. her symptoms do gradually resolve with rest, but they have started to occur now with walking. she does acknowledge that there is associated nausea, diaphoresis and shortness of breath. now recently she started to get symptoms for the past two days while at rest. she was referred for an outpatient exercise tolerance test, where she had chest pain and significant ekg changes. she was referred to for cardiac catheterization today, which revealed significant left main artery disease. just prior to her transfer to , she did complain of chest pain and back pain at about 7/10 intensity and a nitroglycerin drip was started and she received 5 mg of iv lopressor and 2 mg of iv ativan, which did resolve her pain. while she was in the cath lab, she had an intraaortic balloon pump placed, and now she is not actively complaining of any pain. review of systems: she denies any orthopnea, lower extremity edema, but she does acknowledge that she does have dysmenorrhea. prior medical history: she has diabetes mellitus, type 2, diagnosed in . she has been able to control it with diet since ; hypertension and obesity; however, she has lost 40 pounds in the last six months. she has an allergy to shellfish. medications on transfers to : atenolol 50 mg a day, lisinopril 10 mg a day, lipitor 20 mg a day, aspirin 325 mg once a day, progesterone, nitroglycerin drip, lopressor, ativan. social history: she does not smoke. she does not use ethanol and she does not use cocaine. her father had a brain tumor. her brother did have coronary artery disease and a myocardial infarction in his late 30s. her mother has hypertension. she does have a strong family history for hyperlipidemia. physical examination: the patient is comfortable appearing, in no apparent distress. vital signs: temperature 99.1, pulse 72, blood pressure 144/87. pulse oximetry is 98% on room air. head and neck: perrla. eomi. anicteric. mucous membranes moist. neck supple, no lymphadenopathy, no jvd. cardiac: regular rate and rhythm. lungs clear to auscultation bilaterally. abdomen is soft, nontender, nondistended, but she is morbidly obese, positive bowel sounds. her extremities are warm, no edema. she has got 5/5 strength in all extremities. her laboratories prior to admission from were white count 7.4, hematocrit of 39.8, platelets 190,000. hemoglobin a1c was 7.1. sodium was 140, potassium 4.1, chloride 103, bicarbonate 28, bun 14, creatinine 0.6. total cholesterol was 307, triglycerides were 79, and hdl was 50. , which was at (it was not at ), showed diffuse left main and proximal left anterior descending artery stenosis, 60% to 70%, which was ulcerative; 50% mid lad stenosis; 50% left circumflex stenosis after om1; moderate right coronary artery stenosis; a normal ejection fraction of 78%; no mitral regurgitation. note that the right coronary artery stenosis that i am reported is different than what was actually reported on the initial catheterization results from . this was discussed between dr. and dr. , and was not actually considered to be 80% as previously reported. so this was a woman who was considered to have unstable angina but not actively ischemic. she was put on an intraaortic balloon pump, followed in the cardiac care unit, and was "preoped" and consented for a cabg on the next day because of her three-vessel disease. she was made n.p.o. after midnight and then in the morning she was taken to the operating room. on of , ms. went to the operating room with dr. for bypass surgery. please refer to the previously dictated operative note by dr. for the specifics of this surgery. in brief, three grafts were made. one was a left internal mammary to the left anterior descending artery and then two saphenous vein grafts were connected to the om1 and om2. she was on cardiopulmonary bypass for 76 minutes and the aorta was cross clamped for 53 of those minutes. she tolerated the surgery well and was transferred to the intensive care unit on propofol and neo-synephrine drips. postoperatively, ms. did extremely well. her intraaortic balloon pump and all of her intravenous drips were discontinued on postoperative day one. on postoperative day two she was extubated and on postoperative day three she was transferred to the floor. ms. major floor issues were as follows. ms. was followed by physical therapy, which cleared her to go home with home physical therapy to assist with mobility, strength and endurance. she was also actively diuresed with lasix and had her potassium repleted accordingly. finally, she was noted to have hyperglycemia while she resumed her regular diet. consultation was obtained and they recommended metformin 500 mg twice a day to maintain euglycemia. she would follow her sugar as an outpatient and report this back in an outpatient followup appointment. on the patient's central line was discontinued. she was scheduled to leave, but she developed chest pain; however, this chest pain was considered not to be cardiac, to be more gastrointestinal in nature, and she had ......... and an ekg, both of which confirmed a noncardiac source for this chest pain. she is, therefore, on , postoperative day six, being discharged home in good condition with home physical therapy scheduled. final diagnoses: 1. type 2 diabetes mellitus. 2. hypertension. 3. obesity. 4. hyperlipidemia. 5. unstable angina. 6. three-vessel coronary artery disease, status post coronary artery bypass grafting, status post intraaortic balloon pump. 7. hypokalemia. discharge medications: 1. metoprolol 100 mg t.i.d. 2. aspirin 325 mg p.o. q.d. 3. captopril 50 mg p.o. t.i.d. 4. lipitor 20 mg p.o. q.d. 5. lasix 20 mg p.o. b.i.d. for one week. 6. potassium chloride 10 meq p.o. b.i.d. for one week. 7. metformin 500 mg p.o. b.i.d.;

monomorphic vt accompanied by fall in bp, loc, terminated x 1 via precordial thumb. electrolytes were repeleted, pt was bolused with amiodarone x 2, and started on an amio gtt. amiodarone was then changed to po, with a dosing schedule of 400 mg for one week, followed by 400 mg daily for one week, then 200 mg per day. monomorphic vt thought to be likely due to a fixed area of scarring from previous mi. placement of an icd was discussed. however, given the pt's poor prognosis for non sudden cardiac death reasons, and given his increased infectious risk, it was decided to treat his arrhythmia medically. of note, the qt interval was prolonged (506), likely secondary to amiodarone. patient remained in sinus rhythm on amiodarone. 2. cad: pt with nstemi. cath on showed 3 vessel disease, subsequently underwent successful stenting of om, d1, lad and iabp placement. iabp was discontinued after the patient was able to maintain his own pressure. echo completed on , which showed apical akinesis, with severely depressed systolic function. patient was initially started on heparin and bridged to coumadin, however, he had another episode of guaiac positive stool, and given his history of melena and coffee ground emesis, the risk for gi bleed was thought to be high and anticoagulation was discontinued. the patient was continued on an aspirin, statin, beta blocker, and was started on an ace, all of which he will continue as an outpatient. his swan and sheath were discontinued without complications. 3.pump: chf: ef 20% by echo he was initially placed on imdur/hydral for

fistula presents with septic shock. . 1. sepsis: the pt was found to be hypotensive and febrile in the ed and admitted through sepsis protocol. he was infused with muliple boluses of normal saline, put on levophed for blood pressure support. he was covered with broad spectrum antibiotic empirically as culture data was sent. blood cultures were found to be positive for gram postive cocci which was ultimately shown to be vre. vancomycin was changed to linezolid. the pt remained hypotensive on pressors for the next several days and a work-up was initiated to determine the source of infection. mri of the foot was pursued to r/o osteomyelitis, and a ct of the abdomen was down to r/o an abdominal source of infection. the ct abdomen and pelvis showed possible abscess in liver and spleen. there was also pancolitis. gi and surgery were for assistance in the management of these problems. for the pancolitis, the pt was kept npo and he was treated for possible c. diff infection while c. diff cultures were sent and found to be positive. a ruq u/s was pursued which showed evidence of hypoechoic lesion could be flegmon or mass. it was unable to be confirmed on imaging whether these lesions on ct which were new compared with a previous scan in were abscesses vs possible mets from an unknown primary. ir was for possible drainage or biopsy, however option declined given localization of lesions and the pts significant bleeding risk. the gi team suggested an mri to further evaluate the liver lesions although this was unable to be pursued because the pt was too unstable requiring pressors for bp support. a tte echo was done to r/o endocarditis or abscess and was negative. head ct was negative for abscess as well. . 2. cmo: on the morning of , the icu team discussed with mr wife and daughter the different alternatives for mr care. it was explained that the feeling of the medical staff and nurse staff was that mr has been extremily uncomfortable with all the procedures that he undergoes during the day. despite giving pain medicines he has shown signs of a lot of discomfort. we explained to the family that we would need a ngt place in order to feed him and give him some of his medicines now that he is having trouble swallowing given his mental status. also we have explained that we still not have a clear dx on his liver lesions, and in order to obtained a dx he might need a surgical intervention for biopsy. it would be a long road ahead before he is able to go back to where he was previously. ms feels that her husband would not want to have all this procedures done along the road and that we should change the focus of care towards making him as comfortable as possible. the antibiotics and pressors were d/c'ed. the plan was to have no more dialysis. there were no more lab draws. a morphine drip was started for pain. the pt remained arousable though sleepy. his blood pressure was in the 80s-90s systolic off pressors and his extremities continued to show evidence of perfusion. on the evening of , he skin became more pale and his sensorium less alert. at 2:08 am he was found to have ceased respirations and was without a heart rate on

transferred to the intensive care unit. in the intensive care unit, the patient was able to open her eyes, and was moving all four extremities and responsive to command. past medical history: 1. hypertension 2. depression with suicide attempt ten years ago by overdose. the patient was hospitalized for two weeks at that point. the patient's outpatient psychiatrist is dr. . allergies: no known drug allergies. medications: zyprexa 2.5 mg by mouth daily at bedtime, zestril 20 mg by mouth once daily, ambien 10 mg by mouth daily at bedtime, estradiol 1 mg by mouth once daily, nortriptyline 25 mg by mouth daily at bedtime, klonopin 0.5 to 1 mg daily at bedtime, biotin and calcium supplementation. social history: the patient lives with her daughter. husband died in . the patient denied any tobacco, alcohol or drug use. family history: unknown. physical examination: the patient's temperature was 97.7, with a blood pressure of 130/65, pulse of 84, respiratory rate of 14, and oxygen saturation of 100%. the patient was ventilated on imv pressure support with a rate of 14, pressure support of 10, peep of 7.5, volume of 500, and 40% fio2. on general examination, the patient was a very ill-appearing female, in no apparent distress. she was intubated. head, eyes, ears, nose and throat examination revealed 1 to 2 mm nonreactive pupils. neck examination revealed no jugular venous distention and no bruits. cardiac examination revealed a regular rate and rhythm, normal s1 and s2, and no murmurs, gallops or rubs. pulmonary examination revealed that the lungs were clear to auscultation bilaterally. abdominal examination revealed a belly that was soft, nontender, nondistended, with normal bowel sounds. extremity examination revealed no edema, with 2+ dorsalis pedis pulses bilaterally. neurological examination revealed a patient that was moving all four extremities, opening eyes intermittently, withdrawing to pain. the patient had 2+ deep tendon reflexes, and downgoing plantar reflexes. laboratory data: the patient had a white blood cell count of 5.1, hematocrit of 35.9, platelets of 259. the patient had a sodium of 140, potassium of 4.4, chloride of 103, bicarbonate of 28, bun of 17, creatinine of 0.6, and glucose of 102. the patient's inr was 1.1. the patient had an alt of 19, an ast of 26. arterial blood gas was performed post-intubation and was found to be ph of 7.47, paco2 of 29, and pao2 of 287. electrocardiogram: normal sinus rhythm at 80, with normal axis, and intervals, and st elevations in v2 and lead i. other studies: urine toxicology was negative, serum toxicology was negative. urinalysis revealed negative nitrates, leukocytes, blood, no red blood cells, no white blood cells, occasional bacteria, and less than one epithelial cell. head ct: no signs of intracranial hemorrhage or mass effect. hospital course: the patient is a 64-year-old female with a history of hypertension and depression with suicidal ideation and previous history of overdose attempt, status post likely overdose on ambien and zyprexa, status post intubation and hemodynamically stable. 1. toxicology: patient with likely ambien overdose and zyprexa overdose. her symptoms of light coma, somnolence and respiratory compromise were consistent with ambien overdose. the patient also had evidence of myosis, which was consistent with zyprexa overdose. the patient had been gastric lavaged, charcoaled and supported in the emergency department. in the intensive care unit, the patient was supported with intravenous fluids and gradually weaned on the ventilator to the point where she was successfully extubated shortly after arriving to the intensive care unit. 2. psychiatric: patient with major depression, recently exacerbated by the loss of her husband, now with a second overdose attempt in her lifetime. likely zyprexa and ambien were the agents responsible. multiple attempts were made in the effort to contact the patient's outpatient psychiatrist, dr. . she was unable to be reached. psychiatry was consulted, who felt that the patient needed inpatient evaluation and treatment. they also recommended psychotropics be avoided, and that the patient have a one-to-one sitter. social work and case management were consulted. 3. cardiovascular: patient was hemodynamically stable with history of hypertension. her antihypertensives were held. her electrocardiogram was unremarkable, although there were no studies for comparison. 4. pulmonary: patient intubated secondary to decreased mental status without a primary lung process. post-extubation arterial blood gas did not suggest any obstructive lung process leading to hypercarbia or hypoxemia from other pulmonary process. the examination was unremarkable. a facile extubation was anticipated, and the patient was extubated within several hours of arriving in the intensive care unit. 5. psychosocial: communication was maintained with the patient's daughters, who also felt that the patient should receive inpatient evaluation and treatment. condition on discharge: stable. discharge status: the patient was discharged to an inpatient psychiatric bed. discharge medications: zestril 20 mg by mouth once daily, estradiol 1 mg by mouth once daily. discharge diagnosis: 1. major depression 2. ambien and zyprexa overdose 3. hypertension , m.d. dictated by: medquist36 Procedure:

htn, hyperlipidemia, now here for resection of parasagittal meningioma. pt first noted symptoms three years ago with dizziness, was evaluated in where a head ct revealed l frontal extraxial mass (~2cm per pt). seen by a neurosurgeon in and told watchful waiting was best. however 6 weeks ago the patient had an episode where his right lower extremity "gave way." occasionally "feels like wood." he underwent mri scan which revealed enlargement of the mass, with descriptions from records documenting 2.5x3.4x2cm l frontal lobe extraaxial mass, and also a much smaller 12mmx8mmx4mm mass in the r temporal lobe (per report). he was started on decadron 1mg . pt was scheduled for resection with dr. . however last night he was moving furniture, and upon moving a bureau back into his home he developed a sensation of numbness at his foot that travelled to his upper thigh over the course of only a few seconds. he then noted rhythmic low amplitude shaking of the limb that was not suppressable. his right arm then extended outwards beyond his volitional control. his wife took him to where he was given ativan iv, loaded with fosphenytoin 1,000mg iv. the movements subsided in about 15 minutes. no loss of consciousness. no speech/language deficits. no visual loss. he reports no further episodes since. currently feeling well. denies any headaches. he does still feel a loss of sensation in a stocking distribution of his right foot to his ankle. when he walks he feels like he does not have command over his right leg. no bowel or bladder dysfunction. past medical history:

limited post-contrast mri of the brain demonstrates an enhancing left parafalcine lesion measuring approximately 2.1 x 3.3 x 3.5 cm. this lesion is in close proximity to the adjacent sagittal sinus although it does not appear to be involving the sinus. no other abnormal enhancing lesions are identified. there is minimal surrounding edema and no significant mass effect. impression: dural-based enhancing lesion arising from the left parafalcine region with minimal mass effect and small amount of surrounding edema. this likely represents a meningioma. mri head (post-op): findings: since the previous study, the patient has undergone resection of left parietal parafalcine extra-axial mass. blood products are seen in the region with edema. air is seen intracranially. bilateral small subdural collections are seen. these findings are indicative of post-operative change.no acute infarct seen. no midline shift or hydrocephalus identified. no residual nodular enhancement is identified. impression: 1. status post resection of left parietal parafalcine mass with expected post-surgical changes of blood products and air in the region and intracranial air and bilateral small

history of present illness: patient is a 72-year-old male with coronary artery disease status post myocardial infarction, chf with an ejection fraction of 15% and icd for df/vt. here for possible icd malfunction after he was shocked three times at home the night before admission to an outside hospital. the first shock occurred on the morning prior to admission with no preceding symptoms. the second shock occurred while walking downstairs, and he reported reaching out his arm. third shock occurred shortly after this when he was reaching out with his left hand, and the final and fourth shock occurred when he was reaching out in bed with his left arm and received multiple shocks in a row. at the outside hospital, the patient had a magnet placed over his icd, and was given magnesium sulfate. he was hemodynamically stable, and had no complaints otherwise. on review of symptoms, the patient reported occasional orthostatic hypotension, but denied chest pain, shortness of breath, nausea, or vomiting. the patient denies fever or chills. denied bloody stools or black stools. the patient denied orthopnea, pnd, or dyspnea. past medical history: 1. coronary artery disease status

years ago. he denies alcohol use. allergies: shellfish and iv dye, which causes hives, and amiodarone which caused edema. physical exam on admission: temperature 97.7, heart rate of 80, blood pressure 86/52, respiratory rate 16. saturating 97% on room air. patient was alert and oriented times three in no acute distress. neck was supple. pupils are equal, round, and reactive to light. clear oropharynx. there was no jvd and no carotid bruits. cardiovascular reveals regular, rate, and rhythm with occasional irregular beats. faint systolic ejection murmur at the left lower sternal border. respiratory: lungs are clear to auscultation bilaterally. the abdomen was soft, nontender, nondistended. extremities revealed trace bilateral lower extremity edema. summary of hospital course: 1. cardiac rhythm: patient is admitted with multiple shocks from his icd. the shocks had occurred when the patient was using his left arm predominantly. this is likely due to the fact that there was a device malfunction. the device was interrogated, and found to be oversensing noise from certain arm movements. the device was turned off and programmed ddd. the inr was 2.5, so the patient was given vitamin k with plan for future need revision. overnight the patient had a four-second pause on telemetry, although the patient was asymptomatic. the patient returned to the electrophysiology laboratory and had a pacing catheter placed. the patient was transferred to the ccu on for further monitoring in the setting of transvenous pacing. the patient remained comfortable and when his inr trended down, he returned to the ep laboratory for device revision and lead revision. patient tolerated the procedure well. after this, the patient returned to the floors and received multiple shocks on the morning, which were appropriate for ventricular tachycardia. the patient's pacemaker was interrogated and found to be functioning well. it was reprogrammed to over pace out of ventricular tachycardia prior to shocking. the patient had additional episodes of ventricular tachycardia, which were successfully paced out of by his pacemaker. patient was started on lidocaine drip given his significant ventricular tachycardia and the episodes of vt diminished significantly. the patient was transitioned to mexiletine on the next day, and tolerated this well. the patient had no further episodes of significant ventricular tachycardia. 2. coronary artery disease: the patient currently had no symptoms. he was continued on his plavix, statin, beta-blocker, and imdur. patient was not admitted on an aspirin, although he was given an aspirin during his hospitalization given the fact that was coumadin was held. plan for no aspirin on discharge with resuming his coumadin as per his prior home regimen. 3. congestive heart failure: patient has an ischemic cardiomyopathy with an ejection fraction of less than 20%. an echocardiogram on this hospitalization again revealed an ejection fraction of 15-20%. while the patient was npo during episodes of this hospitalization, his lasix and aldactone was held; however, he was continued on his lasix, aldactone, digoxin, and ace inhibitor. patient had no evidence of congestive heart failure during this hospitalization and he resumed his prior medications before discharge. 4. endocrine: patient with hypothyroidism: the patient was continued on his levoxyl. he was also maintained on a regular insulin-sliding scale. blood sugars remained in normal levels, and he did not require significant amounts of insulin. 5. renal: patient with chronic renal insufficiency. remained stable throughout this hospitalization. 6. heme: patient's inr was reversed with vitamin k, and the patient was instructed to resume coumadin dosing on the evening following discharge. the patient will follow up with his cardiologist or primary care physician for further monitoring of his inr and adjustment of his coumadin dose. 7. id: the patient had a temperature greater than 101.5 following his pacemaker placement, and therefore was continued on his cephalosporin, which was originally given for prophylaxis. the patient was transitioned to p.o. antibiotics, plan for seven-day course. condition on discharge: stable. discharge status: to home. discharge diagnoses: 1. icd firing. 2. icd revision. 3. ventricular tachycardia. discharge

day. on , the patient was noted to be in atrial bigeminy in the morning and also continued to have short runs of nonsustained ventricular tachycardia of three to four beats. the patient continued with his intravenous diuresis with 80 mg of lasix q.d. and was subsequently transferred to the floor. on , the electrophysiology department was informally consulted and the patient's metoprolol dose was increased. the patient's rhythm continued to be monitored. on , the patient was in stable condition with adequate diuresis. his nonsustained ventricular tachycardia continued to improve and the patient continued to show no further episodes of nonsustained ventricular tachycardia. the patient was discharged home on in stable condition. discharge medications: plavix 75 mg p.o. q.d. enteric

history of present illness: mr. is a 72-year-old gentleman with a history of hodgkin's disease was transferred here from hospital because of intractable seizures and decreased mental status. he was in his usual state of health, active and playing golf, until when he began to become "confused" and developed gait difficulties. according to the family, mr. was behaving in a way that was perceived to be nontypical by family members. was also having gait difficulties that were considered to be mild, according to the family members. because of these symptoms, he was evaluated at hospital on . at that time, a head computed tomography was reported as normal. he was give a diagnosis of transient ischemic attacks and was d/c home. over the next three days, mr. problems gradually worsened. on , he was at home when he developed a nonfocal onset of seizure which was later generalized. he was transferred to the nearest emergency department where he continued to have generalized seizures. he was given a dilantin load and phenobarbital. his systolic blood pressure at that time ranged between 120 and 200s. a repeat head ct was reported to be normal. despite the dilantin load and the phenobarbiltal, the patient continued to have clinical seizured. therefore, he was started on an ativan drip and was admitted to the intensive care unit. his dilantin was also continued on therapeutic levels. despite the ativan drip and dilantin therapeutic levels, mr. continued to be unresponsive and had intermittent seizures. the rate of the ativan iv infusion was increased and the patient was intubated. a lumbar puncture was performed on at hospital and showed normal values. a mri with diffusion- weighted imaging showed diffuse hyperintensity in the cerebral cortex (r > l) and both thalami. at this point, the patient remained intubated and unresponsive and was therefore transferred to for further evaluation and care. past medical history: 1. hodgkin's disease diagnosed in after developing a respiratory infection. this was diagnosed as nodular sclerosing hodgkin's disease; stage iii-b with positive -sternberg cells. a bone marrow biopsy was done in which showed no bone marrow involvement. 2. status post chemotherapy with bleomycin, cytoxan, vincristine, and procarbazine two years ago. this had to be discontinued after three cycles because of interstitial lung disease and because of myelosuppression with episodes of neutropenic fever. most recent surveillance computed tomography scan revealed gradual interval progression of hodgkin's disease with slightly large mediastinal lymph nodes. 3. borderline hypertension. 4. colonic polyps. 5. tuberculosis. 6. cataracts. 7. macular degeneration. medications on admission: aspirin, prevacid, and tylenol. ativan drip and dilantin were started at the outside hospital. allergies: ceftin (causes a rash). social history: the patient was a retired chemistry teacher and lived in . he was married with no alcohol or intravenous drug use. family history: family history was noncontributory. concise summary of hospital course: mr. was admitted to the intensive care unit of on . a repeat lp on admission showed normal cells, glucose and protein. a csf sample was also obtained for viral cultures and different viral and fungal ab titers (including west nile virus, arboviruses, hsv, hbvs). routine cultures for bacterial, tb and other infectious agents were also normal. cytology was normal. despite the therapeutic levels of ptn and the iv infusion of ativan, electroencephalogram (eeg) on admission showed epileptiform sharp spike activity suggestive of ongoing epileptict activity. therefore, a penotarbital infusion was started. the pentobarbital infusion was titrated to obtain a burst- suppression pattern on bedside 24 h, eeg monitoring. in particular, the eeg showed sharp waves complexes every 6 to 10 seconds. dilantin and depakote were continued as well. at this point, pressors were started to compensate to the pentobarbital- induced decreased cardiac function. mr condition did not improve and another magnetic resonance imaging examination () showed multicentric areas of t2 hyperintensity with more concentration in the right frontal as well as bilateral thalami. laboratory studies throughout mr. admission included several blood cultures, urine cultures and extensive toxic metabolic workup. another lp for cerebrospinal fluid analysis for infection, toxic metabolic and cytological analysis was also performed. in order to better elucidate the underlying pathology. a brain and meningeal biopsy was performed on in the right frontal lobe. in regards to empiric treatment, after the brain biopsy, the patient received iv solu- medrol and high doses of antibiotics with broad coverage. the infectious disease team was also involved in the care of mr. . all the tests performed on his tissues and fuids obtained under request of the id team, had thus far come back normal. brain and meningeal biopsy were remarkable for an meningitic eosinophilic infiltrates and extensive ischemic cortical neuronal damage (red neurons). there was no evidence of an infectious on traditional staining and/or on electronic microscopy. several attempts in decreasing the dose of pentobarbital resulted in an increased epileptiform activity on bedside eeg monitor. mr. condition deteriorated even further. he had developed ileus, and his abdomen was hyperextended. he had been intubated throughout his entire stay in the intensive care unit and was increasingly dependent on ventilatory support. at this point, the patient's poor clincal status and prognosis was thoroughly discussed with his closest family members. after a family meeting, it was decided that mr. would no longer benefit from aggressive support. therefore, he was extubated and expired briefly thereafter. , m.d. dictated by: medquist36 d: 15:05 t: 16:30 job#: Procedure: Venous catheterization, not elsewhere classified Venous catheterization, not elsewhere classified Continuous invasive mechanical ventilation for 96 consecutive hours or more Spinal tap Incision of lung Enteral infusion of concentrated nutritional substances Open biopsy of brain Diagnoses: Pneumonia, organism unspecified Unspecified essential hypertension Grand mal status Hodgkin's disease, unspecified type, unspecified site, extranodal and solid organ sites Postinflammatory pulmonary fibrosis Macular degeneration (senile), unspecified Antineoplastic and immunosuppressive drugs causing adverse effects in therapeutic use Other generalized ischemic cerebrovascular disease |
