unit from early in the am of . he was seen by dr and his team, and based on the fluid collections seen on osh ct scan, he was sent to ir for percutaneous drainage. the ir team aspirated the right paracolic gutter collection and left a drain in the pelvic collection. this fluid was sent for culture. the patient was initially tachycardic upon admission to the icu, but was otherwise hemodynamically stable. he was transferred to the floor on hd4 in good condition. neuro: his pain was initially well controlled on intermittent iv dilaudid. when tolerating po intake, the patient was switched to vicodin, which was well tolerated. cv: he arrived tachycardic with stable blood pressure. this improved quickly during his hospital stay, and he had no other issues. resp: he had significant oxygen demand upon arrival and cxr showed bilateral effusions and atelectasis. sputum cultures were drawn that were insufficient. patient was concurrently being treated with vancomycin and meropenem for his intra-abdominal abscesses, which was determined to be sufficient for presumed pneumonia as well. the patient was also given intermittent lasix to improve his respiratory status as his lungs looked fluid overloaded. these effusions were followed with serial cxrs and improved throughout his stay. he was weaned off of oxygen on the floor and his breathing remained comfortable. gi/gu/fen: the patient was initially npo/ivf upon admission. his diet was advanced to regular by hd3 and this was well tolerated. ostomy output was nearly 2 liters the first 24 hours of admission. the output remained high the first few days of his hospital stay, but then decreased on its own to an appropriate level without medical intervention. his electrolytes and fluid status were closely monitored and patient was repleted as needed. his open abdominal wound was treated with wet/dry dressing changes tid, and showed continued healing and improvement during his stay. id: he was seen by our id team upon arrival who recommended switching imipenem to meropenem. he was also started on vancomycin at arrival for presumed pna. his abdominal wound was packed with wet to dry dressings. abdominal fluid collections showed vanc sensitive enterococcus and , so fluconazole was added as well. the patient was kept on this antibiotic regimen during his hospital stay. picc line was placed on to continue atbx as an outpatient. repeat ct scan was performed on that showed persistent abscesses in the pelvis and r pericolic gutter. however, after patient's drain was adequately flushed, the drain began to put out purulent material. radiology felt the drain was in good position and did not need to be re-adjusted. the patient was sent home on meropenem, vancomycin, and fluconazole per id's recommendations. prophylaxis: patient was started on sqh and encouraged to ambulate often. dispo: patient received ostomy teaching, picc line teaching, and wound care teaching. he understood all of

allergies: iodine; iodine containing attending: chief complaint: respiratory distress major surgical or invasive procedure: none history of present illness: the patient is a 65-yo woman with interstitial lung disease on chronic immunosuppression, and h/o left breast ca s/p partial mastectomy + adjuvant chemo-xrt, who presented to the ed with dyspnea. pt has been feeling unwell since thursday of last week, when she initially developed symptoms of headache, dizziness, body aches, decreased appetite, and inability to get out of bed. these symptoms have continued since, and since sunday she has had significant dyspnea as well. she has been using her home o2 continuously since sunday (at baseline she only uses 2l nc as needed for dyspnea). she denies any associated cough or sputum production, but endorses mild wheeze, stating it feels like a bronchitis or pneumonia. overnight last night she developed subjective chills and sweats, and this morning she found her temperature to be 101.7f, so she was brought to the ed for evaluation. in the ed, vs - temp 98.0f, bp 128/57, hr 102, r 34, sao2 78% on 2l nc. labs were remarkable for an elevated wbc at 11.6 with 90% pmns, and lactate 3.6, and negative ua. blood cx sent x2. cxr showed low lung volumes, increased interstitial markings c/w chronic fibrotic changes, and interstitial edema; an underlying atypical pneumonia cannot be ruled out. she was given solumedrol 125mg iv x1, levofloxacin 750mg iv x1, vancomycin 1g iv x1, and 2l ns ivf for sbps ~100. she seemed to improve and was changed from nrb to 3l nc, but desaturated to 85% on 3l so was restarted back on the nrb, with good response. cta was done to r/o pe, which showed no pe or acute aortic syndrome; lung fibrotic changes, increased in left lung at site of radiation tx; and no underlying pneumonia. she is being admitted to the micu for further care. on the floor, pt feels significantly improved. she has been on daily steroids and azathioprine for several months, with a recent decrease in her methylprednisolone dose and corresponding increase in her azathioprine dose on her last visit with dr. on . she also complains of mildly painful "pimples" on the sides of her tongue, which she relates to the increase in her azathioprine. she also endorses having stopped her bactrim pcp , but was unsure as to when this was stopped. past medical history: - interstitial lung disease, followed by dr. , last seen , with increase in azathioprine to 150mg daily and decrease in methylprednisolone to 16mg daily - left breast carcinoma grade

yeast. studies: ecg: normal sinus rhythm. axis at 0 degrees. poor r wave progression. non-specific st-t wave changes in leads v1-v3. compared to the previous tracing of -109 the q-t interval prolongation is no longer present. the t wave inversions in leads v1-v3 persist unchanged. the prior t wave inversions in leads v4-v5 are no longer present. otherwise, no diagnostic interval change. these t wave changes are non-specific. cxr: low lung volumes with increased interstitial markings consistent with chronic fibrotic changes with some component of interstitial edema; an underlying atypical pneumonia cannot be ruled out, so repeat radiograph after diuresis is recommended. ct chest: 1. no pe or acute aortic syndrome. 2. chronic interstitial fibrotic changes in the lungs with increased fibrosis and bronchiectasis of the lingula with subpleural fat consistent with post-radiation changes. tte: the left atrium is elongated. left ventricular wall thickness, cavity size and regional/global systolic function are normal (lvef >55%). there is no ventricular septal defect. right ventricular chamber size and free wall motion are normal. the diameters of aorta at the sinus, ascending and arch levels are normal. the aortic valve leaflets (3) appear structurally normal with good leaflet excursion and no aortic stenosis. mild to moderate (+) aortic regurgitation is seen. the mitral valve leaflets are mildly thickened. trivial mitral regurgitation is seen. there is mild pulmonary artery systolic hypertension. there is an anterior space which most likely represents a prominent fat pad. impression: preserved global and regional biventricular systolic function. mild to moderate aortic regurgitation. mild pulmonary artery systolic hypertension. brief hospital course: 65-yo woman with ild on chronic immunosuppression and prn home o2 for symptoms of dyspnea, also with h/o left breast ca s/p partial mastectomy and adjuvant chemo-xrt, admitted to the micu with respiratory distress and hypoxia. #. hypoxia, respiratory distress: pt admitted with worsened hypoxia from baseline, somewhat acute and in setting of recent systemic symptoms. she was also febrile on admission. cxr and cta had a faint suggestion of possible pneumonia, with diffuse faint ground glass opacities new compared to prior cta from 1 year ago, making multifocal pneumonia a possibility. she continued to have o2 sats in the high-90s on 6l nc, but with desaturations to the 60s-70's even with small movements in bed. she was initially started on ceftriaxone and levofloxacin to cover for community acquired pneumonia, and was continued on levofloxacin for a total 5 day course. she was also placed on iv steroids (125mg iv methylprednisolone q6h) for three days and then given high-dose prednisone. she was also started on nac and continued on her home azathioprine. her respiratory status minimally improved with this treatment. she underwent bronchoscopy to rule out occult infection. at the time of discharge, her only positive culture was yeast in the fungal culture that hadn't been speciated. the pulmonary team planned to follow this culture and contact the rehab after discharge if an organism grew that needed treatment. it was not felt that this was likely to be aspergillus. ultimately, it was felt that she likely had an infection on admission that caused a flare of her underlying ild and her persistent hypoxia was a result of worsening of ild. she was discharged still requiring 5l nc and on 40mg prednisone daily. #. interstitial lung disease: she is followed closely by dr. . her pfts have declined considerably over time. she received steroids as above and was continued on azathioprine. it was felt that this presentation resulted from worsening of her ild in the setting of acute infection. it was discussed with the patient that her degree of ild is severe and her oxygenation is unlikely to substantially improve in the future. #. left breast cancer: grade 3, t1c, n0, er positive, pr negative, her-2/neu negative, s/p partial mastectomy with sentinel node dissection and adjuvant chemotherapy and radiation therapy. she was maintained on daily tamoxifen. #. hypertension: she was slightly hypertensive during her stay and is not on any antihypertensives at home. #. gastritis: continued home ppi #. hypercholesterolemia: continued on her home statin #. depression: continued on her home celexa #. thrush: she was started on fluconazole for thrush for a total 14 day course. #. code status and goals of care: she was full code initially during this admission but she decided to change to dnr/dni status during this admission. a long goals of care discussion was held and the patient was also interested in exploring any services that will help her to spend more time with her family. she is being discharged to a rehab facility with plans to possibly transition to hospice depending on her clinical course. medications on admission: - azathioprine

bypass grafts x 4 (lima-lad, svg-om, svg-dg, svg-pda) left and right heart catheterization, coronary angiography history of present illness: 80m with history of coaornary disease who was in usual health until two weeks ago when he noted progressively worsening dyspnea and orthopnea. his symptoms progressively worsened and he presented to on and was found to be in heart failre with a bnp of 2351 and a borderline troponin of 0.15. an echo was performed and showed lvef of 25%. he was diuresed with iv lasix and was oxygenating well on 2l nc but still had dyspnea. of note, the patient's last stress test was in and was unremarkable with preserved lvef. he received metformin and lovenox on morning of transfer and was not given plavix. he was transferred to for catheterization. at cath, he was found to have severe three vessel coronary artery disease, moderate to severely elevated right and left sided filling pressures and depressed cardiac index and ejection fraction with diffusely hypokinetic left ventricle. he was referred for surgical revascularization. past medical history: osteoporosis spinal stenosis hx of asbestos exposure kidney stones- s/p lithotripsy colon polyps hyperlipidemia glaucoma peripheral vascular disease. diverticulosis colonic polyps hypertension diabetes social history: quit smoking 44 years ago, previously had a 15 pack-year history. there is no history of alcohol abuse. family history: there is no family history of premature coronary artery disease or sudden death. father died of cva. no other known fh of cvd. pertinent results: cardiac cath: 1. coronary angiography of this right dominant system revealed severe, calcific three vessel coronary artery disease. the lmca did not have focal stenoses. the lad had a 90% stenosis in the mid-vessel. the proximal portion of the major diagonal branch had a 70% stenosis. the lcx had a 99% stenosis at the origin, with left to left collaterals. the rca was totally occluded proximally, with left to right collaterals. 2. resting hemodynamics revealed moderate to severely elevated right and left sided filling pressures (rvedp 19 mm hg, lvedp 25 mm hg, respectively). the pcwp mean was elevated at 28 mm hg. there was moderate pulmonary artery hypertension (pasp 59 mm hg). the systemic arterial blood pressure was low-normal (sbp 105 mm hg). the cardiac index was depressed at 1.7 l/min/m2. the systemic and pulmonary vascular resistances were mildly elevated at 1697 dynes-sec/cm5 and 315 dynes-sec/cm5, respectively. 3. left ventriculography demonstrated a dilated left ventricle with global, severe hypokinesis to akinesis, with estimated ejection fraction of 25%. there was moderate to severe mitral regurgitation. echo: the left atrium is dilated. the right atrium is markedly dilated. left ventricular wall thicknesses are normal. the left ventricular cavity is mildly dilated. there is moderate to severe regional left ventricular systolic dysfunction with inferior/inferolateral and inferoseptal akinesis. overall left ventricular systolic function is moderately depressed (lvef= 30 %). with borderline normal free wall function. the aortic valve leaflets (3) are mildly thickened. there is no aortic valve stenosis. no aortic regurgitation is seen. the mitral valve leaflets are mildly thickened. an eccentric, medially directed jet of at least moderate (2+) mitral regurgitation is seen. the tricuspid valve leaflets are mildly thickened. there is moderate pulmonary artery systolic hypertension. there is no pericardial effusion. brief hospital course: mr. was found to have triple vessel disease on catheterization, with right heart pressure elevated and mitral regurgitation. he was taken to the operating room on where coronary bypass grafting and mitral valve replacement were performed. see operative note for details. he weaned from bypass on milrinone,epinephrine and neosynephrine. postoperatively he was relatively stable and was extubated on . his epinephrine was weaned and discontinued as was his neosynephrine by pod 2. the milrinone was then slowly weaned and he remained stable. he was gently diuresed, however, he became hypotensive each time he received a lasix bolus. a lasix drip was instituted with a good diuresis and stable blood pressure. consult was obtained from the chf service-- we appreciate their recommendations. the patient was transitioned from the lasix gtt to bolus treatment, which he tolerated well. he made good progress with physical therapy before discharge. by the time of discharge, the patient was ambulating with assistance, the pain was controlled with oral analgesics, and the woundf was healing. he was discharged on pod 15 to the rehab of and islands for further recovery. medications on

respiratory failure: likely secondary to flash pulmonary edema in the setting of malignant hypertension. mostly pink frothy sputum and not hemoptysis, but on admission, a pulmonary-renal syndrome was within the ddx. cxr showed diffuse infiltrates characteristic of pulmonary edema and bnp was very elevated. mini bal did not show evidence of eosinophilia. due to unstable shortness of breath with decompensating o2 sats, the patient was intubated in the er, started on a propafol drip and transfered to the micu. once dialyzed, the patient was weaned and extubated quickly with no further respiratory issues. throughout the remainder of his stay he was kept on prn albuterol and ipratropium, and never complained of shortness of breath, nor did he suffer and desaturation incidents. . # acute renal failure: in the emergency department the patient's creatinine was elevated to 21.3 and a his bun of 161. the patient met all but one of the indications for dialysis (acidosis, electrolyte derangements, overload and uremia) underwent emergent line placement and hd. etiologies initially considered were ttp/hus (although thrombocytopenia was not profound), vasculitic process including wegener's, microscopic polyangiitis, churg- (but no eos on peripheral smear), hsp (no skin findings on exam), cryoglobulinemia (but he is young for this dx), anti-gbm, and goodpasture's. sle was also on the differential initially. a broad work up was initiated, but ua with large blood and 500 protein without dyspmorphic red cells/red cell casts on sediment seemed to direct away from acute gn or vasculitis, and peripheral smear had relatively few schistocytes with normal bili, and with fairly high platelet count, so ttp also seemed unlikely. renal u/s showed atrophic kidneys and elevated pth, suggesting chronic renal failure. anca, , dsdna, hepatitis serologies were all negative, and c3 and c4 levels were wnl. renal bx was done on . the patient had hiv, hepatitis, and ppd tests that were negative. an anti gbm antibody study came back high at 4 (upper limit of 3) assumed a likely false positive given that biopsy results revealed iga nephropathy with profoundly sclerosed glomeruli. the patient had a tunneled hemodialysis catheter placed and was started on dialysis. over the course of his hospitalization, with dialysis treatments, his weight was reduced from 62.6 kg to 56.4 kg. his symptoms of nausea/vomiting abated early. 6 days post biopsy, the patient developed a 6cm x 6cm perinephric hematoma. the bleeding was contained and his pain treated. . # hypertensive emergency: on nitro gtt initially, but weaned off on arrival to micu with fent/versed. received hd for acute management. ct head without obvious bleed. bp between 140 and 170 systolic in unit. on floor managed with amlodipine 10mg po daily until bp controlled only with hd. final bp of 118/87. had one episode of hypertension post dialysis on hd#5 treated with 10mg iv hydralazine. blurry vision and ha both resolved following first dialysis treatment. no evidence of ongoing end organ damage present. . # anion gap metabolic acidosis - ag was 20, and delta-delta was 1.6 on admission indicating a pure ag metabolic acidosis (although given the renal failure there is likely a component of ng acidosis as well). this was most likely due to uremia; the patients acidosis corrected with regular dialysis treatment. . # elevated ce's: patient was very volume overloaded and with arf so the likely etiology was significant strain; however, we considered myocarditis in the setting of vasculitis, specifically wegener's. ekg had nonspecific findings but no evidence of acute ischemia. these trended downward over the course of admission without the patient complaining of chest pain or difficulty breathing. . # anemia/thrombocytopenia: unclear why platelet count was low as this is not characteristic of uremia, but anemia initially considered to be secondary to malignant htn. hematology was consulted given the possibility of a ttp/hus picture, though there were too few schistocytes, and primitive platelet forms on the peripheral smear to warrant this diagnosis. following the renal biopsy, and the discovery of change more consistent with a chronic etiology to his renal failure, the anemia was believed to be secondary to poor epo output. on hd#7 he received 2 units of packed red blood cells prior to dialysis, however, his hematocrit continued to fall gradually. on hd#9 a 6 cm x 6 cm perinephric hematoma was discovered on ct. the patient's hct was 32 and bleeding was well controlled upon discharge. his platelet count was within normal by time of discharge. . # uti, on hospital day 7 the patient began spiking low grade fevers to the 100.4 range. urinalysis revealed a pattern consistent with a uti and the patient was started on 500mg of po bid ciprofloxacin for treatment. given his hemodialysis this was considered to be safe. . # fen: the patient was intubated at first and kept npo while in the micu, after transfer to the floor, he was placed on a renal diet. he did not enjoy the renal diet. nutrition was consulted to provide him with an appropriate modification of his usual diet at home. . #

right upper lobe as well as in the entire left lung, the interstitial markings are increased, there are patchy areas of opacities, that are ill-defined and distributed in a mainly peribronchial pattern. in addition, a small left basilar atelectasis and a small left pleural effusion is seen. overall, the morphology and distribution of the changes suggests multifocal pneumonia rather than pulmonary edema. no evidence of right basal changes, no evidence of right-sided pleural effusion. cxr () - in comparison with study of , there has been placement of left subclavian picc line extends to the mid portion of the svc. there has been some decrease in the bilateral patchy areas of opacification, most likely consistent with improving pneumonia. cardiac cath () - 1. coronary angiography in this right dominant system demonstrated severe three vessel cad. the lcx was the least stenosed and there was no obvious single culprit stenosis. the lmca had distal calcification with a hazy 30% stenosis. the lad was heavily calcified with diffuse disease throughout with serial 60% stenoses just before a major d4 with a distal 85% stenosis and an 80% apical stenosis. there was a high d1, functionally a large septal branch which was patent. a large d2 and d4 were also patent. the lcx was tortuous proximally with slow flow and mild diffuse disease in the av groove lcx. om branch had a proximal 50% stenosis with a tortuous upper pole and mild diffuse disease in the lower pole. the distal av groove lcx supplied collaterals to the distal rca system. the rca was heavily calcified with a 40% ostial stenosis without pressure dampening. there was proximal diffuse disease up to 75% and distal diffuse disease before the rpda up to 45%. there was moderate diffuse disease throughout the rpda with severe diffuse disease in the distal av groove rca supplying the rpls with slow flow (? severe disease vs. competitive flow from collaterals). septal collaterals from the lad fill the rpda. 2. limited resting hemodynamics revealed mildly elevated ra pressure with a mean rap of 9 mmhg. there was severely elevated left sided filling pressures with an lvedp of 29 mmhg. there was moderate systemic arterial systolic hypertension with an sbp of 160 mmhg. no cardiac index could be calculated as unable to float pwp catheter beyond ra. 3. modest hypoxemia (o2 sat 93% on 15l nrb mask) improved to 96% with the addition of 2l via nasal cannula arguing against significant shunt physiology. final diagnosis: 1. severe three vessel cad. 2. severe left ventricular diastolic dysfunction. brief hospital course: 85 yo f with htn, afib, dchf, ckd, h/o guaiac-positive stools, transferred from for cardiac catheterization in the setting of elevated cardiac enzymes, new focal wall motion abnormalities, and worsened mr. to have extensive 3-vessel disease. # coronary artery disease: pt noted to have a troponin leak at an osh, with peak of 0.26. was transferred to for cardiac catheterization, which revealed three-vessel disease. given this, pt is a poor candidate for pci. after much discussion, pt decided that she would not want cardiac surgery. medical management was pursued. during her hospitalization, she experienced episodes of chest discomfort, particularly at night. she did not exhibit any ecg changes during these episodes. her metoprolol was uptitrated, and she was started on a long-acting nitrate for further antianginal activity. by the time of discharge, she had been free of chest pain for several days. # acute on chronic diastolic hf / worsened ritral regurgitation: echo at osh showing new focal wall motion abnormalities and worsened mr, likely of ischemic etiology. on presentation, she was thought to be hypervolemic. metoprolol and amlodipine were tirated for optimum bp control / afterload reduction. the option of mitral valvular surgery was addressed, but the patient was not interested in cardiac surgery. she was diuresed with bolus iv lasix, which was converted to po lasix prior to discharge. # pneumonia: cxr performed on was suspicious for multifocal pneumonia. pt was initially started on broad-spectrum coverage with vancomycin, cefepime, levofloxacin. she was noted to spike a fever on the night of ; however, she remained afebrile after that. she did also have a leukocytosis throughout her hospitalization, which was improving at the time of discharge. on , her antibiotics were narrowed to levofloxacin, as she had no positive cultures and appeared improved clinically. of note, at the time of discharge, she did continue to have an oxygen requirement, which was likely multifactorial in etiology (see below). # gi bleeding: the patient was noted to have guaiac positive stools during her hospitalization. she did have one episode of a hematocrit drop, for which she received a unit of prbcs. her hematocrit remained stable after that. she also complained of some episodes of dysphagia, with food getting "stuck" in her throat. she states that this has been occuring for some time. she was seen by gi for both of these issues. further evaluation with a barium swallow was recommended as an outpatient. further work-up of her gi bleeding should also be pursued as an outpatient. of note, in the setting of this gi bleeding, her aspirin dose was decreased and her ppi dose was increased. her iron was also discontinued. # oxygen requirment: likely multifactorial in the setting of the patient's pneumonia and severe mr. treatment as above. # positive blood cx: one blood cx positive for gpr's. likely a contaminant. speciation pending and not further cultures positive at the time of d/c. # pre-diabets: pt was noted to have elevated blood sugars in the ccu. a1c was 6.1, consistent with pre-diabetic state. this should be further followed as an outpatient. # chronic kidney disease: baseline creatinine 1.5 to 1.7. the patient remained at her baseline throughout the hospitalization. ace inhibitors was held in the setting of her kidney disease. # diarrhea: pt presented with some recent diarrhea in the setting of recent fever and chills. stool cultures were sent, including c.diff, and were negative. her diarrhea improved. # vitamin d repletion: pt's previous vitamin d regimen was not entirely clear. she is being discharged on 1000 units of vitamin d3 daily. this may be adjusted as an outpatient if more significant vitamin supplementation is desired. # polymyalgia rheumatica: continued on home prednisone dose. # anxiety/depression: continued on nortriptyline and zyprexa at home dose. medications

moderate to severe mitral regurgitation. well-seated, normally functioning tricuspid annuloplasty ring. mild pulmonary artery systolic pressure. . compared with the prior study (images reviewed) of , there is worsening left ventricular global and regional systolic function with a decrease in ejection fraction from 25% to 15%. the severity of mitral regurgitation has increased minimally. mild pulmonary artery systolic hypertension is now appreciated; its presence could not be determined previously. tte: the left atrium is moderately dilated. the right atrium is moderately dilated. left ventricular wall thicknesses are normal. the left ventricular cavity size is top normal/borderline dilated. there is severe global left ventricular hypokinesis (lvef = 25 %). the right ventricular free wall thickness is normal. the right ventricular cavity is mildly dilated with depressed free wall contractility. the aortic valve leaflets (3) are mildly thickened but aortic stenosis is not present. mild (1+) aortic regurgitation is seen. the mitral valve leaflets are mildly thickened. there is no mitral valve prolapse. moderate (2+) mitral regurgitation is seen. a bioprosthetic tricuspid valve is present. the tricuspid prosthesis appears well seated, with normal leaflet motion and transvalvular gradients. compared with the findings of the prior study (images reviewed) of , systolic function of both ventricles is improved. brief hospital course: mr. is a 65-year-old-man who is five weeks status post tricuspid valve replacement for severe tricuspid regurgitation, severe right ventricular enlargement, and severe right heart failure, with recent removal of defibrillator coil that revealed a massively dilated right atrium and right ventricle who is presenting with worsening dyspnea on exertion. . #. acute on chronic heart failure (right-sided, systolic): patient is 5 weeks s/p tricuspid valve replacement, now with worsening right heart failure symptoms. tte with worsening systolic function as well with depressed ef. attempts were made with iv diuresis, but ultimately he required ccu admission for milrinone. initially he was started on milrinone alone and his uop was measured, and ultimately he required a lasix drip as well to maintain good uop. his cardiac output doubled with milrinone therapy. length of stay he was out approximately 9-10l net negative, his edema cleared, his lungs remained clear and his jvp was no longer elevated. symptomatically, he felt much better, having improved exercise tolerance and a greatly increased appetite. milrinone was on for approximately 3.5 days, after which it and the lasix were stopped. he had a repeat echo ~14 hours after cessation of his milrinone, showing improved global function. he was started back on his home torsemide without metolazone and maintained euvolemia. . #. afib/ectopy: patient therapeutic on warfarin with inr of 2.4. also rate-controlled with home digoxin and metoprolol. these medications were continued throughout the admission. his afib was rate controlled well, never having a rapid ventricular rate. he did have a few episodes of ventricular ectopy with small runs of nsvt although these were likely related to hypokalemia and electrolyte shifts rather than the milrinone or other intrinsic cardiac etiology. . #. acute kidney injury: creatinine at 1.7 from a baseline in late of 1.0. etiology is likely secondary to poor forward flow rather than overdiuresis as his diuretics had actually been decreased recently 1.5 weeks ago. his renal function quickly improved with milrinone and at the time of discharge was at his baseline. medications on admission: omeprazole 20 mg ec po bid aspirin 81 mg po daily warfarin 5mg po daily at 4pm trazodone

failure (right-sided, systolic):mr. was initially managed in , fl for a chf exacerbation with milrinone and dopamine. diuresis was deferred due to hypotension. weight on admission of 158 was above discharge weight from of 138. heart failure is primarily driven by dilated rv in the setting of long term wide open tr which had only been repaired 6 weeks earlier. rhc demonstrated improvement in co with milrinone (3.8 to 4.2), but to a less extent than would be inferred by his improvement in clinical status during his last admission. on his second day of admission, support with milrinone only was attempted, but was aborted due to persistent hypotension (maps of 55). dopamine was attempted at 6 mcg/kg/hr with improvement in bp with maps > 60, and improvement in co 5.8 and ci 3.0. a picc was placed for home dopamine infusions. however, diuresis was tapering off even though patient was on lasix 20 and dopamine 10. patient was not maintaining good o2 sats and felt cold in his peripheries and short of breath when talking. a decision was made to transfer him to medical center for heart transplant evaluation. upon discharge, he was 10.8l negative. his discharge weight was . #. afib: patient is anticoagulated for afib, goal . inr 2.1 today. patient was continued on warfarin 7.5mg daily. . #. acute kidney injury: baseline cr 1.0, cr at osh is 1.9 likely secondary to decompensated chf. with continued diuresis, cr initially came downt o 1.2, but then bumped up to 1.5 on transfer. despite further increases in dopamine and lasix drips, his urine output continued to taper off. patient had diuresed -800cc since midnight of the day of transfer. . # thrombocyteopenia: plts slowly downtrending to 132 from 163 on admission. ddx includes malnutrition, marrow suppression, drug effect. hit was thought to be less likely, as there was a less than 50% fall, no evidence of thrombosis. . #.skin discoloration: patient noted to have yellowish skin discoloration on , initially concerning for congestive hepatopathy. however, lfts were normal. most likely etiology is pyridium use (started for bladder spasm). pyridium was discontinued. . #. gerd: patient was continued on home lansoprazole. . #. constipation: patient was maintained on an aggressive bowel regimen with senna, colace, miralax. at one point, patient had not had bowel movement in 3 days, so was given lactulose and fleet enema, to which he responded with a bowel movement. . #. dysphagia: patient has a history of dysphagea and cannot swallow while supine. he tolerated a regular diet, but was willing to consider a soft diet if he was unable to swallow regular food. . # bph: patient had low uop one day and bladder scan confirmed urinary retention. prostate exam revealed enlarged bladder, and patient is known to have hx of bph. he was started on phenazopyridine and tamsulosin. transitional issues: patient was transferred to medical center for heart transplant evaluation. he will be sent with this discharge summary, several recent tte and rhc reports, and several of his outpatient cardiology appointment notes. at , he was evaluated for a lifevest, and most of the paperwork was filled out, but this was deemed no longer necessary upon transfer. if patient is deemed at to still need lifevest, can contact case manager at for additional details. medications on admission: digoxin - 125 mcg
