Brief Hospital Course:
35 yo F with HTN & poorly controlled type I DM, c/b neuropathy,
gastroparesis, nephropathy ?????? CKD, retinopathy presents with DKA
and hypertension SBP to 200s.
.
# Diabetic ketoacidosis: Patient controls diabetes at home with
Humalog SS and long acting Levemir. Sugars at home recently
have been in 250s. In the ED, glucose was 466. UA was +ve for
ketones ?????? corrected to 200s, but rose again to 300s. She was
treated with an insulin drip which was transitioned to subq when
she tolerated POs. Her electrolytes were repleted and she
received aggressive volume resuscitation. [**Last Name (un) **] saw her and
gave sliding scale recommendations which were implemented. No
source for DKA found, beleived to be [**2-3**] gastroparesis. Nausea
managed with ativan, compazine, and promethazine. She was
discharged on her home Insulin and sliding scale with
instructions to follow-up with [**Last Name (un) **].
# HTN: Hypertensive with SBP in 190s initially, attributed to
DKA, as she has experienced in the past. As she improved her
blood pressures normalized and she was re-started on her home
Lopressor and Midodrine regimen.
# Coffee grounds emesis: Emesis started off as clear, then with
prolonged wretching, she started having coffee-grounds vomiting.
This had also occurred on prior admissions for DKA with
associated vomiting. Her hematocrit remained stable and her
hematemesis self-resolved, and so work-up was deferred to the
outpatient setting.
# Acute on chronic kidney disease, Stage III: Patient's Cr on
admission was 2.7, trending down to 2.1-2.3 following fluids,
consistent with her known CKD secondary to diabetic nephropathy.

Discharge Diagnosis:
Diabetic keotacidosis
Hematemesis (blood in your vomit)
Hypertension
Chronic renal insufficiency
Discharge Condition:
Mental Status: Clear and coherent.
Level of Consciousness: Alert and interactive.
Activity Status: Ambulatory - Independent.
Discharge Instructions:
You were admitted to the hospital with DKA, hypertension, and
blood in your vomit. You were initially treated in the ICU with
an insulin drip, and your blood sugars improved. Your blood
pressure medications were adjusted to better control your blood
pressure while you were in DKA, but you were re-started on your
home regimen at discharge. The blood in your vomit was likely
secondary to mechanical trauma from repeated wretching, but you
should follow-up with your primary care doctor to discuss
whether you should undergo further evaluation such as an upper
endoscopy. Given your complaints of chronic cough and heartburn,
you should also discuss beginning a trial of a proton pump
inhibitor such as Nexium or Prilosec to see if this helps your
symptoms.
Your insulin regimen was adjusted by the [**Last Name (un) **] team while you
were here. You should continue to follow-up with them with any
questions or concerns regarding your insulin management.
Followup Instructions:
Please call Dr.[**Last Name (STitle) 805**]' office to schedule a follow-up
appointment within 7-10 days of discharge. Her office number is
[**Telephone/Fax (1) 85219**].
You should also continue to follow-up with your [**Last Name (un) **] doctors
as needed.

History of Present Illness:
Mr. [**Known lastname 52368**] is a 59M w HepC cirrhosis c/b grade I/II esophageal
varices and portal gastropathy (last EGD [**3-/2150**]), who p/w
coffee-ground emesis and melena x2 days.
.
Pt was in his USOH until about 2-3 days PTA, when he began
experiencing intermittent nausea. He had 2-3 episodes of
coffee-ground emesis and 1 episode of tarry black stool in the
morning of admission. He reports some lightheadedness which is
not new, but denies frank hematemesis, BRBPR, abdominal pain,
fever, chills, significant increases in his abdominal girth. He
denies drinking or medication non-compliance. He also reports
taking naproxen for back pain 2-3 times a day in the recent
past.
.
In the ED, his vitals were 97.4, 93/41, 69, 18, 100% on RA. He
was given 4L NS IV, protonix 40mg IV, started on an octreotide
drip. He had guaiac positive brown stool on rectal exam. He was
seen by the liver fellow in the ED who felt this was unlikely a
variceal bleed and recommended work up for infection. An NG tube
was attempted, however, patient was unable to tolerate it in the
ED. Abdominal ultrasound was done which showed a patent portal
vein, scant ascites but not enough to tap. BP dropped to 80/34,
pt transferred to MICU for hemodynamic monitoring.
.
In the MICU, pt was given 3 pRBC, Hct bumped from 21.3 to 28.
Started on norepinephrine gtt for a few hours, but BP
stabilized. On transfer to the floor, remains hemodynamically
stable. Feels good, denies tarry or bloody BMs, emesis.

HISTORY OF PRESENT ILLNESS: This is a 48 year old African
American female with a history of multiple myelomas being
admitted for respiratory distress. The patient has been
recently discharged one week ago from outside hospital ([**Hospital3 7900**]) for respiratory distress. Back at [**Hospital3 7362**],
she was given nebulizer, antibiotics and steroids. She also
had elevated INR and was given medication to lower INR
although there was no evidence of bleeding.
Last night, she reports having increased difficulty with
breathing. She has also had a cough. She denies any fever
or chills. The patient admitted to decreased p.o. intake but
has been recently sedimentary. She denies any swelling of
the legs. The patient had noted some wheezing but then took
her Albuterol inhaler without any effect. She has been on a
Prednisone taper but reports that she has been coughing up
thick sputum.
She went to her primary care provider today but could not say
a sentence so was sent to the Emergency Department. In the
Emergency Department, she was tachypneic and wheezing with
heart of 120 and blood pressure of 127/82. She received
Solu-Medrol and continued with nebulizer treatment. She
improved, but seemed to be tiring. Her ABG was done and
showed pH of 7.41; PCO2, 40; PO2, 92. She can speak in full
sentences but still just making wheezing. She is requiring
continued nebulizer treatment but denies any chest pain,
nausea, vomiting, diarrhea or abdominal pain. She feels weak
in general.

HOSPITAL COURSE:
1. Pulmonary - Dyspnea secondary to chronic obstructive
pulmonary disease/emphysema under this hospital course.
Briefly, the patient received BIPAP, ....................,
intravenous Solu-Medrol, nebulizer treatment and inhaler
treatment while in the Intensive Care Unit. She was able to
be weaned off of the oxygen back to room air, sating to about
93 or 94 percent.
Though her chest x-rays show hyperinflation and no signs of
infection, she was given five days worth of Zithromax. An
echocardiogram was to rule out any cardiac wheezes which then
showed an ejection fraction of greater than 55%, mild right
ventricular dilation and mild pulmonary arterial pressure.
Pulmonary function tests were performed showing obstructive
pattern with FEC of 2.56 which is 93% of the predicted and
FEV1 of 0.9 which is 43% of the predicted in FEV1 to FEC
ratio of 46%.
When the patient was transferred to the Medical Floor, a CT
was performed showed no evidence of a pulmonary embolism but
did show signs of emphysema. Sputum cultures were sent and
showed no growth of any organism. Alpha antitrypsin was sent
out but is still pending.
2. Pulmonary Embolism - The patient was continued on
Coumadin for an INR between 2 and 3. Since she was
subtherapeutic, she was started on Lovenox until she became
therapeutic on the Coumadin.
3. Psychiatry - Anxiety. The patient was quite anxious
during the hospital course. Psychiatry was called to consult

Brief Hospital Course:
Ms [**Known lastname **] was admitted through the emergency room on [**2145-3-31**] and
taken to the operating room. She underwent an uncomplicated
exploratory laparatomy for small bowel resection, jejunosotomy
and lysis of adhesions, see op report for details. She was
stabilized in the PACU, and transferred to SICU on POD#1. She
was extubated, her pain was well controlled with morphine PCA,
she remained NPO with NGT and foley catheter. She was initiated
on Cefazolin/Flagyl x 24 hours.
POD#2 she developed confusion and decreased oxygen saturation,
requiring 3L nasal cannula. Narcotics were stopped, CXR and CT
of chest were obtained and revealed right lower lobe pneumonia,
see pertinent results for details. Vanc/Levo/Flagyl were
initiated as well as an ID and medicine consult. She was
transferred to SICU. POD#[**4-4**] she remained in SICU, her mental
status and respiratory status improved. POD#4 her NGT was
removed and she was transferred to [**Hospital Ward Name 121**] 9, she was weaned to
room air. Her pain was well controlled with tylenol and small
doses of oxycodone. POD#5 she reported flatus followed by
multiple loose stools. Stool for C diff was negative. She was
started on sips, and tolerated it easily. POD#6 she tolerated
clear liquids but no longer wanted to take antibiotics due to
frequent stools. CXR was repeated which showed resolving
pneumonia. She tolerated a regular diet in the evening without
difficulty. Infectious disease team recommended completion of 7
days of Levofloxacin. Clips were removed on POD#7, she was
discharged home in stable condition with antibiotics, pain
medication and all appropriate follow up appointments.

Prebypass
The left atrium is dilated. No spontaneous echo contrast is seen
in the body of the left atrium or left atrial appendage. No
spontaneous echo contrast is seen in the body of the right
atrium.
No atrial septal defect is seen by 2D or color Doppler. Left
ventricular wall thicknesses are normal. The left ventricular
cavity is severely dilated.
There is moderate regional left ventricular systolic dysfunction
with hypokinesis of the apex and septum. Overall left
ventricular systolic function is mildly depressed (LVEF=30-35%).
The estimated cardiac index is depressed (<2.0L/min/m2). Focal
abnormalities are seen in the mid and apical anteroseptal wall,
apical anterior wall, mid and apical inferoseptal wall, apical
inferior wall. NO thrombus was seen in LV apex.
Right ventricular chamber size and free wall motion are normal.
The descending thoracic aorta is mildly dilated.
The aortic valve leaflets (3) are mildly thickened with focal
calcification of the non-coronary cusp which moves poorly. There
is a minimally increased gradient consistent with minimal aortic
valve stenosis. No aortic regurgitation is seen.
The mitral valve leaflets are mildly thickened. Mild to moderate
([**1-3**]+) mitral regurgitation is seen. There is no mitral valve
prolapse or flail segments. There is no pericardial effusion.
Postbypass
The patient is A-paced and on a phenylephrine infusion.
Biventricular systolic function is unchanged. Mitral
regurgitation remains mild-to-moderate. The thoracic aorta is
intact post decannulation.

Brief Hospital Course:
The patient was admitted to the hospital and brought to the
operating room on [**2162-5-17**] where the patient underwent Coronary
artery bypass graft x 4. See operative note for details.
Overall the patient tolerated the procedure well and
post-operatively was transferred to the CVICU in stable
condition for recovery and invasive monitoring. POD 1 found the
patient extubated, alert and oriented and breathing comfortably.
The Electrophysiology team was consulted now due to non
capturing atrial lead after permanent pacemaker was initially
interrogated and epicardial wires were removed. Ventricular lead
and ICD were functioning appropriately. The right atrial lead
was revised on [**5-19**] without complication. He is to follow up the
device clinic at [**Hospital1 **] in 2 weeks - operative note was given
to patient to bring to follow up appointment. The patient was
neurologically intact and hemodynamically stable on no inotropic
or vasopressor support. Beta blocker was initiated and the
patient was gently diuresed toward the preoperative weight.
Lisinopril was restarted for better blood pressure. The patient
was transferred to the telemetry floor for further recovery.
Chest tubes were discontinued without complication on post
operative day 3. The patient was evaluated by the physical
therapy service for assistance with strength and mobility. By
the time of discharge on POD 4 the patient was ambulating
freely, the sternal and pacer pocket wound was healing and pain
was controlled with oral analgesics. He is to continue on 1 week
of antibiotics per EP s/p atrial lead placement. The patient
was discharged home with VNA services in good condition with
appropriate follow up instructions. All follow up appointments
were arranged.

of likely subarachnoid hemorrhage. The location of some of these
foci at the [**Doctor Last Name 352**]-white matter interface is concerning for
diffuse axonal injury
CT Cspine - No fracture or traumatic malalignment in the
cervical spine
CT torso - Extensive pulmonary contusions, worse on the right
than the left. Hepatic lacerations with a small amount of
abdominal and pelvic free fluid of intermittent density.
Bilateral rib fractures.
Right femur/knee xrays - There is a mid shaft femoral fracture
with mild varus angulation of the distal fragment relative to
the proximal. There is also medial subluxation by ~ 1 cortical
width.
[**9-2**]
MRI cspine - Edema in the interspinous ligaments from C3-C4
through C7-T1, without evidence of distraction. lobal central
canal narrowing due to congenital short pedicles. This is
slightly exacerbated by a disc bulge at C3-4. No cord signal
abnormality. Moderate right C4-5 neural foramen narrowing due to
uncovertebral osteophytes.

compressive atelectasis. Considerable improvement in the
appearance of the right lobe of the liver laceration. Small
amount of free fluid in the pelvis. Fractures of the left first
and right fourth and fifth ribs. Fracture of
the right transverse process of T1.
Brief Hospital Course:
The patient was admitted to the trauma ICU.
[**8-29**] - Patient was admittd to the ICU. He was taken to the
operation room with ortho for ORIF of his right femur (see
operative report for full details). Neurosurgery was consulted
and an ICP was placed. He was started on dilantin and q1 hour
neurochecks.
[**Date range (1) 58392**] - The patient was transfused 4u PRBC for a decreasing
Hct. He had a right femur hematoma which was expanding but his
limb was soft and there was no fear of compartment symdrome.
His Hct stabilized. Head CT was stable.
[**9-1**] - His ICP was discontinued and neurosurgery signed off.
Head CT was stable.
[**9-2**] - MR of head and c-spine were performed.
[**9-3**] - Bilateral LE and LUE LENIs were performed which
demonstrated no DVT.
[**9-4**] - The patient went the OR with the acute care service for
tracheostomy and IVC filter placement.
[**9-6**] - Patient dc'ed his dophoff tube twice.
[**9-7**] - A CT A/P was done because of persistent fevers and rising
white count. No source for his fevers was identified. Patient
was put to trach collar.
[**9-8**]: Awake, off-versed, following commands. Passed S&S for
regular diet and Passy [**Last Name (un) 87596**] Valve. BAL cultures grew MRSA, kept
only on Vanc now. Patient ready to be transferred to floor,
waiting for a bed. `
Following transfer to the Surgical floor he continued to make
slow progress. His trach tube was plugged with a PMV and he
tolerated it well. After confirming no aspiration by video
swallow he was tolerating a regular diet with thin liquids.
The Physical Therapy and Occupational Therapy services followed
him on a daily basis to increase his mobility and increase
cognitive abilities. His memory is decreased and he
occasionally has some confusion but is improving each day.
He has a PICC line placed on [**2177-9-12**] for IV antibiotics and will
require Vancomycin thru [**2177-9-16**] for MRSA pneumonia. He has
minimal secretions but is undergoing nebulizer treatments.
Potentially his IVC filter can be removed but Dr. [**Last Name (STitle) **] will re
evaluate in a few weeks therefore he will need to return to the
[**Hospital 2536**] Clinic. He will also follow up in the Neuro cognitive clinic
with Dr. [**First Name (STitle) **] following his discharge from rehab.
After a lonfg hospitalization he was transferred to rehab on
[**2177-9-12**] for further therapy with the goal to return home soon.

Dr. [**Last Name (STitle) **] was notified in person of the results.
Brief Hospital Course:
Mr [**Known lastname 732**] was transferred fro [**Hospital **] Med Ctr for surgical
management of his coronary artery disease. After the usual
pre-operative workup he was brought to the operating room for
coronary artery bypass grafting on [**2177-3-14**]. Please see the
operative report for details. In summmary he had: Coronary
Artery Bypass Grafting x3 with Lwft Internal Mammary Artery to
Left Anterior Descending Artery, Saphenous Vein Graft to Obtuse
Marginal Artery, and Saphenous Vein Graft to Posterior
Descending Artery. His cardiopulmonary bypass time was 51
minutes with a crossclamp time of 39 minutes. He tolerated the
operation well and post-operatively was transferred to the
cardiac surgery ICU in stable conditio. He remained
hemodynamically stable in the immediate post-op period. He woke
from anesthesia neurologically intact and was extubated on the
operative day.
On POD1 he continued to have significant drainage from his chest
tubes and was brought back to the operating room for mediastinal
exploration-no source of bleeding was found. He tolerated this
procedure well and was again returned to the cardiac surgery ICU
in stable condition. He recovered from anesthesia and was
extubated shortly after the surgery was completed. He remained
hemodynamically stable throughout this period.
All tubes lines and drains were removed per cardiac surgery
protocol. On POD 3 he was transferred from the ICU to the
stepdown floor for continued post-op care and recovery. Physical
therapy worked with the patient to advance his activities of
daily living and to improve strength and endurance.
POD # 4, Pt develope some drainage from his sternal incision. He
was started on IV Vancomycin. Betadine was cleanse TID was
started. from POD # [**4-19**], pts wound improved. He is to be
discharged on PO keflex x 10 days. His wound on DC is without
drainage.
On POD 10 was discharged home with visiting nurses. He is to
follow up with Dr [**Last Name (STitle) **] in 3 weeks, He has a sternal check
[**3-26**] on [**Hospital Ward Name **] 6. He is to follow up with his cardiologist, appt

Chief Complaint:
Respiratory Failure
Major Surgical or Invasive Procedure:
Trach change
Mechanical ventilation
History of Present Illness:
Mr. [**Known lastname 89172**] is a 55 yo man with PMH significant for Downs
Syndrome, MRSA pneumonia and respiratory failure in [**10/2187**]
resulting in tracheostomy which was reversed [**2188-5-13**], who is
transferred from s/p intubation at [**Hospital1 **] in [**Location (un) 1110**] today.
Patient had been predominantly in rehab since developing MRSA
pneumonia in [**10/2187**] (first [**Last Name (un) **] and then [**Hospital 5279**] Rehab
Centers) and presented to [**Hospital1 **] from rehab for respiratory
distress. He had been started on Rocephin [**5-22**] for presumed
pneumonia at Rehab in setting of labored breathing. Patient was
intubated at [**Hospital1 **] for labored breathing, accessory muscle
use. Per report, there may have been some failed attempt in OSH
ED to re-open his tracheostomy prior to intubation.
.
At OSH, patient received, levoquin 750mg @ 03:25, Vancomycin 1g
@ 5:09 for pneumonia. He was ordered for 4L NS and received at
least 2.5L. CXR and CT Chest appeared to show some fluid
overload. Patient was difficult to maintain on sedation; blood
pressure dropped on propofol, so patient was briefly on dopamine
until sedation was switched to versed boluses prn, which he
tolerated well. Trach site had some serosanguinous fluid
leakage, so it was covered with guaze and tegaderm. Respiratory
therapist in ED confirmed no air leakage while on the
ventilator. Patient was transfered to [**Hospital1 18**] for further
management.
.
In ED, initial VS were as follows: 99.9 (Rectal temp) 101
174/100 22 98% on ventilator with 100%FiO2. He was given 1amp
D50 for a blood sugar of 69. He also received 250cc of IVF and
2.5mg bolus of IV versed for sedation while ventilated. EKG
showed sinus tach with rate 103. CXR showed fluid overload with
possible consolidation, so CTA of chest was done to further
characterize ?consolidation and rule out PE. CTA showed no
signs of PE and confirmed RUL and RML pneumonia, as well as
fluid filled esophagus, suggesting aspiration. CT also showed
moderate left and small right effusions, but no pulmonary edema.
Vitals in ED prior to transfer to ICU were as follows: 99.8F HR
91 BP 92/53 RR 16 O2sat100% cpap FIO2 60%, PS 10, PEEP 5.
.
On arrival to the unit, patient is mechanically ventilated and
appears comfortable. He is accompanied by his sister who was
able to corroborate the above story. Of note, the patient is
non-verbal at baseline but does make some signs, only eats
icecream and [**Last Name (un) **] tea by mouth (for pleasure) and is otherwise
fed through tube feeds.

IMAGING:
CXR [**2188-5-24**]:
1. Endotracheal tube terminating at the carina.
2. Mild pulmonary interstitial edema.
3. Right upper zone opacity may reflect aspiration pneumonitis
or developing
pneumonia.
CT-A [**2188-5-24**]:
IMPRESSION:
1. RUL and RML pneumonia, possible due to aspiration since the
esophagus is fluid filled and dilated.
2. No PE.
3. Moderate left and small right effusions, but no pulmonary
edema.
4. Mediastinal lymphadenopathy
5. Acute left 7th rib fracture.
G/GJ/GI TUBE CHECK
FINDINGS: Supine radiographs demonstrate jejunostomy tube with
tip at the
junction of the distal duodenum or proximal jejunum. Contrast is
seen passing distally in the jejunum without evidence of leak.
Bowel gas pattern is normal without evidence of leak. Imaged
portion of the lungs are clear. Surgical clips are noted
overlying the base of the heart.
IMPRESSION: Jejunostomy tube in appropriate position with normal
passage of contrast without evidence of leak.
Brief Hospital Course:
55M with hx of Downs Syndrome, MRSA pneumonia c/b respiratory
failure and tracheostomy, s/p tracheostomy reversal 10d prior to
admission, transferred to [**Hospital1 18**] for hypoxic respiratory failure
[**2-27**] RUL/RML aspiration PNA
.
# Aspiration PNA/respiratory distress: PE was ruled out as
potential cause of respiratory distress. Imaging demonstrated
RUL/RML pneumonia secondary to aspiration, as well as airway
narrowing at site of prior tracheostomy. Likely secondary to
aspiration, as patient was also noted to have fluid filled
esophagus on CT scan. Patient was treated with hospital
acquired and community acquired pneumonia with Vancomycin,
Levoquin and Cefepime (8-day course). Cultures of urine and
blood from OSH showed no growth. Aspiration may have been
related to overflow at g-tube site. Tube feeds were initially
held, and G tube study was ordered which showed jejunostomy tube
in appropriate position with normal passage of contrast without
evidence of leak. Patient on steroids at home for adrenal
insufficiency, was not on PCP prophylaxis at home so bactrim
daily was started. Patient was arranged to be transferred to
[**Hospital Ward Name 517**] ICU service for extubation and potential IP
intervention at site of airway narrowing. IP found an 0.8 cm
focal area of stenosis with dynamic collapse at 2nd tracheal
ring. The granulation tissue was debrided and IP replaced
percutaneous trach through existing stoma. Patient will need
evaluation for tracheal resection/reconstruction at IP o/p f/u
in 2 weeks. Post-procedure CXR showed multifocal PNA, unchanged
bilateral effusions, trach in appropriate position. Patient
remained stable with new trach in place and did well prior to
discharge. His last day of levaquin and cefepime will be on
[**2188-5-31**].
.
# Recent history of colitis: Reported recent history of both
C.diff and Pseudomembranous colitis. Patient with with several
episodes of lose stool. C. diff was checked and was negative.
.
# Down syndrome/Anxiety: At baseline, pt nonverbal. Pt was
restarted on home dose of ativan given evidence of anxiety and
aggitation w/groups of people while intubated.
.
# Adrenal Insufficiency: History unclear but patient currently
on prednisone 20 daily - patient has not had outpatient
endocrine evaluation. As per [**Hospital 228**] rehab facility steroids
were started to treat low sodium. Patient currently with normal
blood pressures. Steroid dose tapered to 10mg daily for 1 week
with outpatient follow up of electrolytes. Patient started on
PCP prophylaxis, which he should remain on if he is going to
continue steroids long term. Patient will follow-up with
endocrinology for further work-up of possible renal
insufficiency. OSH records were faxed to endocrinology
department when appointment was made.
.
# Hx of seizure disorder: Reportedly first seizure [**11-3**] at time
of hospitalization with MRSA pneumonia. Continued home dose of
Keppra.
.
#FEN: Concern for leaking at J tube site. Tube feeds were held
as concern for leaking at feeding tube. Surgery was consulted
and sutured the tube in place with clamp. Dressing in place over
tube site.

IMAGING STUDIES:
# C-spine Xray [**8-29**]: Single lateral view of the cervical spine
obtained portably in the OR, labeled #1. C1 through the C4/5
disc space is visualized. The C5 vertebral body is faintly seen
-- bony structures lower than this are obscured by overlying
soft tissues. However, surgical markers are seen overlying the
anterior aspects of the C4-5 and C5-6 disc spaces, from an
anterior approach. Support tubing and temperature probles noted.
# C-spine CT [**2176-8-29**]:
1. New interval C5-C6 anterior fusion with intervertebral disc
spacer, no
immediate hardware complication. Post-surgical changes in the
soft tissue
with subcutaneous emphysema mostly in the right submandibular
region.
2. Mass at C1 level with associated cord compression consistent
with known
meningioma better described on recent MRI.
3. Soft tissue thickening at the right lung apex, not fully
characterized on the current CT. In comparison with CT neck from
[**2176-8-9**], it has increased in size. CT chest is
recommended to evaluate this further, if clinically warranted.
# Head CT [**2176-8-30**]:
1. New interval left frontal subdural hyperdense extra-axial
fluid collection with new interval subdural subfalcine
extra-axial hyperdense fluid collection, indicating subdural
hemorrhage, likely post-surgical but clinical correlation
recommended.
2. Pneumocephalus with distribution at the basilar cisterns,
mostly at the
left sylvian fissure, and bifrontally at the falx, likely
post-surgical, and additionally in the posterior fossa near the
site of the occipital craniotomy.
3. Post-surgical changes with left craniotomy at the occipital
bone and
laminectomy at C1 with subcutaneous emphysema and hyperdense
products, likely post-surgical.
4. Soft tissue hyperdensity at the posterior parietal, occipital
soft tissue region, could be small post-surgical hematoma.
.
# C-spine MRI [**2176-8-31**]: Status post resection of C1 extradural
tumor, likely meningioma with expectorated postoperative
changes. No large intraspinal hematoma seen. There remains some
persistent narrowing of the spinal canal at C1 level with
indentation on the posterior aspect of the spinal cord.
Continued followup recommended. Mild spinal cord atrophy could
be secondary to chronic myelomalacia.
.
# LE arterial Duplex [**2176-9-3**]: The peak systolic velocity
involving the native right common femoral artery is 104 cm/sec.
Velocities within the superficial femoral artery range from 85
to 234 cm/sec and that within the popliteal artery on the right,
is 25 cm/sec. On the left, peak systolic velocity within the
common femoral artery is 132 cm/sec, SFA, velocities range from
146-75 cm/sec and that within the popliteal artery is 85 cm/sec.
IMPRESSION: Findings as stated above which indicate widely
patent common
femoral, superficial femoral and popliteal arteries bilaterally.
.
PATHOLOGY:
# C1 tumor [**2176-8-30**]: Cervical medullary junction tumor:
Meningioma, psammomatous subtype (WHO Grade I). The tumor is
composed of meningothelial cells with numerous psammoma bodies
and collagen deposition with no typical features or mitotic
activity.
Brief Hospital Course:
55-year-old man with diabetes mellitus type 2, severe peripheral
[**Month/Day/Year 1106**] disease, CAD, diastolic CHF, atrial fibrillation,
presented for planned anterior cervical decompression at C5-6
and removal of C1 meningioma.
# Cervical myelopathy and meningioma: Patient underwent anterior
cervical decompression and C5/6 fusion on [**2176-8-29**] and removal of
C1 meningioma on [**2176-8-30**].
The patient was post-operatively managed in the ICU with a
dexamethasone taper. He developed a small subdural hematoma on
[**2176-8-30**] with no new neurologic symptom. Per neurosurgery
recommendations, aspirin and heparin SC were restarted.
Clopidogrel, for recent left SFA stent, was restarted on POD#5,
[**2176-9-4**], and warfarin, for atrial fibrillation, is to be
restarted on [**2176-9-9**]. Of note, there was some concern that he
had developed LE weakness after his procedure, but after
re-evaluation with the neurosurgery team they felt that his
strength in his legs were his baseline and this was not a
change. He continued to work with PT during his
hospitalization.
# Diastolic heart failure: The patient experienced an acute
exacerbation of his diastolic heart failure likely secondary to
significant fluid administration during surgery. He was placed
on a furosemide gtt in the SICU, which was transitioned to his
home dose of lasix on the floor. At discharge he was slightly
under his admission weight of 115kg with O2 sats in the mid 90's
on room air.
# Peripheral [**Date Range **] disease. The patient recently underwent
bilateral SFA angioplasties and Left SFA stenting. In
preparation for his neurosurgery, the plavix was held
pre-procedure and was subsequently re-started on [**2176-9-4**]. He
underwent bilateral arterial ultrasound on [**2176-9-3**] which
demonstrated patent SFA and femoral arteries.
# Atrial fibrillation: The patient was not in atrial
fibrillation during his hospitalization. Given his need for
neurosurgery his coumadin was held. It is scheduled to be
restarted 10 days post-procedure ([**2176-9-9**]). He was well
rate controlled at the time of discharge.
# DM II. The patient's insulin regimin was adjusted to 50 units
of insulin glargine nightly with humalog insulin sliding scale
and achieved good control of his blood sugars (FSBS 100-180).
# Pressure ulcers. The patient has a 2x2cm right heel full
thickness ulcer that was without odor or drainage. A right
dorsum small 1x1cm partial thickness ulcer. Wound care nursing
consult was obtained. Pressure ulcer care was performed by
repositioning, skin cleansing and conditioner application, and
cover with ABD and kerlex.
# Coping. The pt expressed to some staff members that his mood
was poor and he was not coping well after his surgery. He never
expressed suicidal ideations. He further expressed that he was
extremely frustrated with his hospitalization and his inability
to walk and function independently. Discussed the possibility
of talking to psychiatrists in the hospital, but he declined.
He felt that if these feeling persisted he would pursue further
psychiatric care. A number for psychiatric services was
provided to him on discharge.
# Chronic pain syndrome: The patient was continued on his home
regimen of dilaudid 4mg PO Q3H:prn
# Chronic hyponatremia. The patient had a history of chronic
hyponatremia although his sodium remained between 130-140 during
this admission.

Service: Cardiothoracic Surgery
PREOPERATIVE DIAGNOSIS:
1. Bicuspid aortic valve.
2. Dilated aorta.
3. Aortic insufficiency.
HISTORY OF PRESENT ILLNESS: The patient has had a heart
murmur since childhood and found to have a bicuspid aortic
valve on echocardiogram, and recently had an increase in the
size of the ascending aorta. Otherwise, the patient denies
any other medical problems. [**Name (NI) **] did have surgery in [**2124**] for
an undescended testicle.
SOCIAL HISTORY: Denies a smoking history. Occasional
alcohol, maybe once per week.
FAMILY HISTORY: Noncontributory.
MEDICATIONS ON ADMISSION: Prophylactic antibiotics.
ALLERGIES: No known drug allergies.
LABORATORY ON ADMISSION: Preoperative vital signs were a
heart rate of 78, blood pressure 102/68, respiratory rate
of 18. He was a healthy, 27-year-old male. Lungs were
clear. Heart had a 3/6 systolic ejection murmur. Otherwise,
the examination was within normal limits.
HOSPITAL COURSE: So, on [**2138-6-9**], the patient
underwent homograft aortic root replacement, resection, and
grafting proximal aortic arch. He underwent general
anesthesia. There were no intraoperative complications.
Postoperatively, the patient was transferred to the recovery
room on a nitroglycerin drip in normal sinus rhythm. He was
transferred from the recovery room to the Intensive Care
Unit, and on postoperative day one was transferred to the
floor, where he continued with an uncomplicated postoperative
course.
The patient did experience some tachycardia with a heart rate
of around 117. For this tachycardia the patient's beta
blockers were increased, and he did respond. His beta
blockers were increased to 75 mg p.o. b.i.d. Potassium was

History of Present Illness:
Mr. [**Known lastname 25925**] is a 58 yo m w/ multiple sclerosis and seizure
disorder who presented to an OSH for delusions and AMS x 2 days.
At OSH, he was noted to have a Na of 124. He does have a history
of hyponatremia; he had a Na of 117 in [**2-27**] but had been in the
mid 130s since then. He has seen nephrology. At the OSH, he had
an approx 45sec generalized tonic clonic seizure, received 1mg
Ativan, and transferred to the ED at [**Hospital1 18**]. He also has a
history of seizures especially in the setting of infection and
hyponatremia. It is unclear if he has had seizures without an
inciting event. He is currently being weaned off of Keppra and
Gabapentin and is being started on Tegretol. In the ER, his VS
were: 97.5; 189/105; 78; 16; 95% 3L. He was given 2L of NS.
Given that he has had AMS in the setting of infection and is
known to have chronic UTIs [**12-24**] indwelling suprapubic catheter
and neurogenic bladder, blood and urine cultures were obtained
as well as a CXR. He had a urine culture from [**11-28**] that grew
pseudomonas and his CXR showed a possible infiltrate and he was
treated with vancomycin and cefepime. A head CT was negative.
Past Medical History:
MS - since [**2119**], progressive, quadriplegic, neurogenic bladder
with suprapubic catheter, restrictive PFT's
History of Aspiration PNAs

Brief Hospital Course:
58 yo male w/ progressive multiple sclerosis was admitted for
AMS and seizure after having a 45s GTC at the OSH that responded
to 1mg Ativan. He had a negative head CT but was found to have
a Na level of 126. He has been hyponatremic in the past and
this has often caused changes in his mental status. In the ED,
he was treated with 2L NS for concern of hypovolemic
hyponatremia. At that time, his urine osm was 423 and serum osm
was 263. He also had a CXR and there was prelim concern for
pneumonia which can cause an ADH like effect (the final read was
neagtive). Neurology was consulted for his AMS and seizure and
they felt that his hyponatremia was likely related to recent
initiation of carbamezapine for sensory illusions.
Carbamezapine has a known ADH like effect and can cause
hyponatremia. Following discontinuation of carbamezapine along
with fluid restriction, his Na increased. After several days,
the pt appeared slightly dehydrated so his fluid restriction was
lifted. By time of discharge, his serum Na was 140.
.
In the past, his seizures have been instigated by an underlying
infection. However, upon admission he was afebrile and did not
have a leukocystosis. The most likely source was either
pneumonia or a UTI. He has a suprapubic catheter [**12-24**] neurogenic
bladder and on the day prior to admission, he had a urine sample
that grew pseudomonas, a bacteria he has had in the past. He
has also had several pneumonias in the past, most likely [**12-24**]
frequent aspirations and his first CXR was concerning for lung
infiltrate. He was treated with one dose of vancomycin and
cefepime for pneumonia. Ultimately, repeat CXR and a CTA were
both negative for pneumonia.
.
Because of his pseudomonal bacteriuria, he was started on
ciprofloxacin. A urine culture drawn prior to abx inititian also
grew pseudomonas. Because he was afebrile and did not have a
leukocytosis and there was thought that it may actually have
been colonization as opposed to infection. However, he was
treated with a full course of cipro for a complicated UTI. His
catheter was changed and all other cultures remained negative.
.
On admission, the pt was afebrile and hypertensive to 180-200.
However, shortly after arriving on the floor, he had an episode
of hypotension down to the 70's systolic. During this time he
was mentating well, he did not have any complaints, denied chest
pain, headache, and visual changes. IVFs were given, however
the hypotension did not initially respond, however came up
eventually prior to getting to the ICU. This labile blood
pressure was most likely secondary to the patient's autonomic
dysfunction secondary to his SPMS. Other considerations were
infection or possible sepsis, however the patient was continued
to be afebrile. Blood and urine cultures were negative. He was
monitored in the ICU for 24 hours with stable swings in BP which
were asymptomatic and consistent with autonomic dysfunction.
Changed clonidine dosing from 0.2mg [**Hospital1 **] to 0.1mg TID.
Maintained other blood pressure medications at home doses.
.
The next day, he was transferred out of the MICU and returned to
the floor. Shortly after arrival, he developed a fever. More
blood and urine cultures were sent and all were negative.
Pneumonia had been ruled out and his UTI was being treated with
a medication that was appropriate per sensitivities. He had a
CTA which was negative for PE. However, he was started on
meropenem and was treated for 2 days. He was still slightly
febrile but his meropenem was discontinued for concern of drug
fever. He defervesced without any further treatment.
.
However, his mental status continued to fluctuate despite being
afebrile, no obvious source of infection, and he was eunatremic.
He was occasionally aggressive and would say that he was being
murdered or kidnapped. Neurology was reconsulted but did not
feel that his symptoms were related to the keppra and they did
not think he was having subclinical seizures. He continued to
have repetitive shaking moves of his head but he was conscious
and able to speak during these episodes. Also, despite the
Keppra, he continued to have sensory illusions, mostly centered
around the feeling of having a bowel movement (when he actually
was not).
.
During the work up for a source of infection and source of AMS,
he had a CTA which revealed a liver lesion. He had an
ultrasound and a multiphase liver CT to further describe the
lesion because he cannot have an MRI [**12-24**] an implanted baclofen
pump. Mr [**Known lastname 25925**] and his family decided to not biopsy the lesion
at this time but it was not ruled out completely for malignancy,
although unlikely. During this work up he also had KUB that was
concerning for ileus but he continued to have BMs so he was kept
on a regular diet.
.
Prior to discharge, his mental status had not completely
returned to baseline but he was alert and oriented x 3 and was
no longer aggressive towards staff. No definite etiology was
elucidated and it was hypothesized that this could be a result
of the progression of his established disease.

54 year old Spanish speaking male, in the US on vacation, with a
questionable PMH of liver disease presents after
jumping?falling? out a window. Per his daughter he was drinking
alcohol with his son and reported feeling that someone was out
to kill him. He locked himself in a second-story bedroom and
was later found by his daughter crawling outside. He was
initially seen at [**Hospital3 **] and found to have opiates and
cocaine on UA in the emergency department there. He was
transported to [**Hospital1 18**] with b/l ankle fractures. Per family, the
pt has been confused at home. In [**Name (NI) **], pt was aggitated and
received haldol and ativan. He was later somnolent. EKG
demonstrated atrial flutter with HRs in 110-140's, rate
controlled in the ED with IV diltiazem.

Physical Exam:
Vitals: 96.7 140/90 76 16 99% on 2L NPO/1000
Physical Exam:
General: sleepy but arousable, oriented to place and person,
able to name the months of the year forwards, but not backwards,
not oriented to current month/year
HEENT: icteric sclerae, dry MM, + c-collar
CVS: irregular rate, tachy, no murmurs/rubs/gallops appreciated
Pulm: CTA b/l, no wheezes, rales or rhonchi
Abd: soft, NT, mild hepatosplenomegaly, +BS
Ext: b/l ankle splints, mild bruising over b/l knees, - for
asterixis
GU: + foley
Pertinent Results:
CT C-Spine: negative for fracture
Left tib/fib: Comminuted fracture of the calcaneus. Dense sliver
of bone along the medial aspect of the proximal fibula, seen
only on a single view. This could represent additional
calcification of the intraosseous ligament, a small cortical
fracture fragment, or a foreign body.
Right tib/fib: Comminuted, intraarticular, impacted, and
displaced fractures of the distal tibia as well as fracture of
the distal fibula as detailed above.
.
CT bilat LE
1. Comminuted intra-articular distal right tibial fracture.
2. Comminuted distal right fibular fracture with displacement.
3. Comminuted left calcaneal fracture.
.
RUQ U/S:
FINDINGS: The liver is coarse in echotexture without evidence of
focal lesion. The gallbladder is not distended due to nonfasting
stage. No evidence of gallstones. No evidence of intra- or
extra-hepatic biliary ductal dilatation and the common duct
measures 3 mm. The pancreas is not well visualized due to bowel
gas. There is no evidence of free fluid. The main portal vein is
patent with antegrade flow.
IMPRESSION: No evidence of cholecystitis.
.
Head CT ([**8-21**])
IMPRESSION: No evidence of acute intracranial pathology,
including no sign of intracranial hemorrhage.
.
CXR ([**8-21**])
No previous studies for comparison. Low lung volumes. Heart size
is difficult to evaluate in this semi-upright AP film. There
could be some LVH but no evidence for CHF and the lungs are
clear. Questionable slight impression on the right margin of the
tracheal air column which can be better evaluated by standard PA
and lateral chest films when condition permits.
.
Chest CT ([**8-23**]):
1. No juxtatracheal mass or left upper lobe lesion as questioned
on chest radiograph report.
2. Three foci of ground glass, right upper lobe, not detectable
on routine radiographs, a nonspecific finding. Six- month CT
follow up is recommended to look for change, because
bronchoalveolar cell carcinoma, though unlikely, cannot be
excluded.
3. Borderline size mediastinal and hilar lymph nodes should be
checked on followup CT.
4. Mild atherosclerotic coronary artery calcification.
Chest CTA ([**8-24**]):
1. No pulmonary embolism.
2. Relatively unchanged appearance of multiple ill-defined
opacities and tiny nodules in the right upper lobe. Follow-up
stated on the examination from 1 day prior is again recommended.
3. New foci of opacification present at the lung bases compared
to examination from one day prior likely related to aspiration.
Layering debris present within the right main stem bronchus most
suggestive of aspiration as well. Clinical correlation is
recommended.
4. Recommend advancing NG tube at least 4-5 cm. The current
position elevates the risk of further aspiration.
.
CT RLE with contrast ([**8-24**]):
IMPRESSION: Comminuted distal tibial and fibular fractures with
intra- articular involvement of the tibial plafond and lateral
displacement of the talus with respect to the tibia. Posterior
displacement of the distal fibular fragment.
.
CT LLE without contrast ([**8-24**])
Comminuted left calcaneal fracture.
Lentiform area of fluid attenuation at the skin on the
posterolateral aspect of the left foot. The significance of the
latter finding is uncertain, but may be due to a skin blister or
possibly dressing material within the cast. Clinical correlation
requested.
.
CXR ([**8-26**])
1. NG tube could be advanced several centimeters for standard
positioning, as described in prior exams.
2. New perihilar opacities, likely due to acute aspiration in
the superior segments.
.
Head CT ([**9-3**])
IMPRESSION: There is no evidence of hemorrhage or CT evidence of
acute infarct.
.
CT abd/pelvis ([**9-22**]):
IMPRESSION: No CT evidence of pyelonephritis or abscess within
the abdomen/pelvis.
.
CT LLE without contrast ([**9-26**])
1. Markedly comminuted fracture of the calcaneus with wide
distraction and dispersal of the fracture fragments as above.
2. Non-displaced fractures of the sustentaculum tali and of the
middle facet of the talus.
3. No fracture identified of the medial malleolus.
4. Non-displaced fractures of the anterior aspect and of the
inferior aspect of the lateral malleolus.
5. Non-displaced fracture of the cuboid.
6. No fracture identified of the navicular.
7. No other fractures identified within the remainder of the mid
foot or the forefoot.
8. Lateral subluxation of the peroneal tendons with respect to
the fibula.
9. Probable tear of the anterior talofibular ligament.
.
Echo ([**9-26**]):
The left atrium is mildly dilated. Left ventricular wall
thickness, cavity
size and regional/global systolic function are normal (LVEF
>55%) Transmitral
and tissue Doppler imaging suggests normal diastolic function,
and a normal
left ventricular filling pressure (PCWP<12mmHg). Right
ventricular chamber
size and free wall motion are normal. The aortic valve leaflets
(3) appear
structurally normal with good leaflet excursion and no aortic
regurgitation.
The mitral valve appears structurally normal with trivial mitral
regurgitation. There is no mitral valve prolapse. The estimated
pulmonary
artery systolic pressure is normal. There is no pericardial
effusion.
IMPRESSION: Normal global and regional biventricular systolic
function.
Brief Hospital Course:
During course of hospitalization, pt was put on CIWA scale for
EtOH withdrawal and given thiamine, folate and a multivitamin,
his AFib with RVR was initially treated with metoprolol, then
diltiazem, his high ammonia levels were treated with lactulose.
His b/l ankle fractures were followed by orthopedics.
The patient was severely agitated on more than one occassion
during this hospitalization, requiring three codes puples to be
called as well as requiring restraints for protection of both
the patient and the staff.
The patient was originally sent from the floor to the MICU with
delirium of unknown cause and severe agititation. He required
increased amounts of sedation and was returned to the floor
after a NG tube was placed. Once returned to the floor, the
patient required less sedation, was taken off of any
benzodiazipines and only intermittently needed restraints.
The patient remained somnolent and delerious. He pulled out his
NG tube. He was also febrile and rhoncorous on the floor. He
was initially treated with vancomycin and flagyl, which was
changed to azithro/ceftriaxone/flagyl. He was scheduled to
return to the OR for revision of his right external fixation.
In preop holding, he was found to be hypoxic and sent to the
MICU.
MICU COURSE: Morning of [**8-28**], patient scheduled to return to OR
for revision of externally fixated RLE. Upon transport to PACU,
patient became more somnolent and had reported "agonal
breathing". O2 sats 83% on 2LNC and NRB applied with O2 sats to
100%. BP in 90s/60s, HR in 80s, RR 17-19. ABG drawn: 7.38/58/90.
During stay in MICU, patient coughed up large amount of thick
sputum with improved respiratory status. Surgery postponed and
patient transferred to MICU for further monitoring. In the MICU,
respiratory status has remained stable with Sp02 in the high 90s
on room air. Pt is hemodynamically stable in chronic a-flutter.
Called out to floor on [**8-29**]- no further intensive care needs
identified.
In the MICU, patient was started on Zosyn and restarted on
Vancomycin wiht marked improvement in his respiratory status.
Within a few days of returning to the floor, Vancomycin and
zosyn were stopped as CXR showed resolution of questionable
aspiration pneumonia - this was felt to be more likely
pneuomonitis which resolved.
.
After the MICU, patient's delirium started to improve, but then
worsened when he returned to the OR for removal of external
fixation. He developed fevers to 102F post-operatively which
likely worsened delirium. Source of fevers unclear - of note
patient had recently developed VRE in his urine but infectious
disease did not feel this was an active infection. he received
three days of antibiotics (daptomycin and then linezolid). When
these were stopped he became afebrile and delirium began to
lift.
.
#Aggitation was mostly controlled with haldol. Zyprexa was
tried for two weeks but it did not seem to help acute
aggitation. QTc was monitored while patient was on
antipsychotics and was stable at approximately 420-440msec.
Overall etiology of delirium has remained unclear but was
thought to be multifactorial due in part to chronic alcohol use,
hepatic encephalopathy, benzodiazepine use, and post-operative
delririum. Although spanish-speaking 1:1 sitters and
interpreters were employed as much as possible, language also
likely contributed to persistance of delirium. Delirium has
completely resolved patient is now restraint and sitter free.
All haldol has been stopped. He has past the period of etoh
withdrawal. It is recommended that patient follow up with
alcohol abuse counseling.
.
#Afib/flutter
While febrile, his afib/flutter was complicated by more frequent
episodes of rapid ventricular rate. This was controlled with IV
metoprolol when needed but also by increasing PO metoprolol and
diltiazem. Treating fever with tylenol also seemed to help. He
was briefly put on therapeutic lovenox for atrial fibrillation,
but this was stopped as he was not felt to be eligible by CHADS
criteria and also because of high fall risk. Patient was
transitioned off of beta blockers and placed on Diltiazem 120mg
daily.
.
#Urinary retention
patient failed several voiding trials. He also pulled out his
foley on several occasions, causing hematuria. Intermittent
straight catheterization was tried to reduce infection risk of
long-term indwelling foley. However given delirium and
aggitation this was untenable. This resolved with reductions in
haldol. Patient now able to void freely on his own. History of
VRE on urine culture, but no signs of infection, dyruria,
increased urinary frequency. There is no evidence based
literature or other clinical indications to treat this
asymptomatic bacteuria at this time.
.
#Fractures
patient followed by orthopedics during admission. L ankle
fractures treated with casting, however repeat plain films and
CT scan 4-6 weeks post-op showed fractures which were not
initially visualized. Orthopedics felt casting was still
appropriate and that there was no indication for surgery. R
pilon fracture managed initially with external fixation system
because of skin breakdown making internal fixation difficult.
One month into hospitalization ex-fix removed and tibial and
fibular plates were placed. He is to remain Non-weight bearing
for a total of one month after his hospital discharge. Patient
has completed the necessary course of lovenox.He has a follow up
appointment scheduled with his orthopaedic surgeon Dr. [**Last Name (STitle) **]

[**10-15**]
Discharge Instructions:
You were transferred to [**Hospital1 18**] emergency room after a large fall.
You were found to have bilateral ankle fractures. You had a CT
scan of your head which did not show any acute bleed. When you
came into the emergency room your heart rate was fast, and you
were given medications to help slow it down.
.
On [**8-18**] you had an operation on your left leg for a heel
and ankle fracture, you had several pins placed in your left
leg. Your left leg was then casted.
.
On [**8-30**] you had an operation on your R tibula fibula fracture
that stabilized the leg externally.
.
On [**9-17**] you had an operation on your right tibula and
fibula and screws were placed to help your leg heal.
.
During your hospital stay. You were very confused and placed on
many psychiatric medications, you became very agitated at
times,and had to be restrained at times. This has resolved you
are no longer on any psychiatric medications.
.
While in the hospital you developed some breathing problems. [**Name (NI) **]
spent time in the intensive care unit, because there was some
worry that you might have a pneumonia, you were started on
antibiotics, but your breathing problems improves, and your
chest xray improved. It was thought that you did not have a
pneumonia and the antibiotics were normal.
.
You were also found to have some bacteria in your urine called
VRE, because you were not having, any burning with urination.
The infectious disease doctors thought that the bacteria should
not be treated.
.
You are being transferred to a rehab facility. It is important
that while at that rehab facility you, follow up and get
counseling for your problems with alcohol abuse.
.
You have follow up appointments schedule with both orthopaedics
and a new primary care physician. [**Name10 (NameIs) **] is important that you
follow up with both of these appointments.
.
It is also important that you do not put any weight on your legs
for next month. Please return to the hospital or the emergency
room if your condition worsens in any way.
You had an abnormal chest x-ray/CT scan and should have this
repeated in [**2111-1-5**] to make sure you don't have lung
cancer.
Your blood counts were low but stable during your
hospitalization. You should see a Hematologist (Blood Doctor)
about this and consider testing for HIV.
You had an elevation of a marker in your blood called AFP (alpha
fetoprotein). The significance of this is not know. It may be
related to your underlying liver disease but should be further

Brief Hospital Course:
Mr. [**Known lastname **] was a same day admit and on [**9-19**] was brought to the
operating room where he underwent a Coronary artery bypass graft
x4 (left internal mammary artery to the diagonal and saphenous
vein grafts to the left anterior descending, obtuse marginal,
and posterior descending arteries) with Dr.[**First Name (STitle) **].
CARDIOPULMONARY BYPASS TIME:104 minutes. CROSS-CLAMP TIME:93
minutes. Please see operative report for further surgical
details. Following surgery he was transferred to the CVICU
intubated and sedated in critical but stable condition. Later
this day he was weaned from sedation, awoke neurologically
intact and extubated without incident. He weaned from pressor
support and beta blocker/Statin/Aspirin and diuresis was
initiated. Chest tubes and epicardial pacing wires were removed
per protocol. POD#1 he was transferred to the step-down unit for
further monitoring. Physical Therapy was consulted for
evaluation of strength and mobility. During his postoperative
course he developed atrial fibrillation and was treated with
beta blockers and amiodarone. Anticoagulation was initiated with
Coumadin. He developed a phlebitis from IV Amio and was placed
on a course of Keflex x 7 days. This was slowly improving. His
pulmonary status waxed and waned with a strong productive cough
and wheezing, which improved by the time of discharge. He
continued nebulizer treatments. CXR showed small bilateral
pleural effusions with atelectasis, no infiltrate or density.
His pulmonary status slowly improved by his day of discharge. On
POD 4 he developed a tender erythematous right knee and was
treated with colchicine for presumed gout. This had improved by
the time of discharge and the colchicine was discontinued. On
POD 6 he was afebrile, ambulating with assistance, tolerating a
full po diet and his wounds were healing well. On POD 6 he was
discharged to Lifecare Center of [**Location 15289**] in stable
condition. All follow up appointments were advised.

History of Present Illness:
This is a 72 year-old female with a history of mild mental
retardation, who presents with RUQ that started this AM. Pt with
some back pain. Pt went to [**Hospital1 **] and was found to have a fever
of 102.9 and elevated LFTs. RUQ u/s with concern for stone in
CBD. WBC was 9.4 and 56% bands, tbili 8.7, dbili 5.3 and she was
given levo/flagyl, tylenol, and IVF and transfered to [**Hospital1 18**] with
presumed cholangitis. She is orientated to person and
"hospital". Lives at home.
In the ED, VS on arrival were 97.3 82 132/74 20 96% 2L NC. Pt
was given IVF, unasyn, zofran, and morphine. Labs showed WBC of
31, lactate 3.2, and bili of 7.7 with elevated LFTs. ERCP and
surgery were consulted. ERCP wanted pt in [**Hospital Unit Name 153**] for ERCP tonight.
Surgery requested u/s and CT abd with contrast. CXR with concern
for LLL PNA, but no resp sx. RUQ u/s prelim showed: gallstones,
no evidence of acute cholecystitis. Angiomyolipoma in left upper
pole, 1.5cm. CT prelim showed: No intrahep bil dil. Slight
enhancement of the normal caliber cbd, cbd raises the
possibility of cholangitis. Pulmonary bronchiectasis. Pt was
admitted to surgery in [**Hospital Unit Name 153**]. VS on transfer were 98 66 104/39 16
99% 2LNC.
Pt went for an ERCP that showed pus in the bile duct with a
small stone causing obstruction. There was also a stricture
1/3rd of the way in the CBD. Malignacy can not be ruled out. A
stent was placed that will need removal in 3 weeks. Pt was given
3 liters LR by the time she arrived post procedure in the [**Hospital Unit Name 153**]
including her ER IVF.

Gallstones, without gallbladder wall thickening or
pericholecystic fluid to suggest acute cholecystitis. No biliary
dilation.
[**2142-12-23**] CT Abd/pelvis :
1. No intrahepatic biliary ductal dilatation, no gallstones, the
gallbladder
is normal in appearance.
2. Slight mural hyperenhancement of the nondilated common
hepatic and common bile duct - can be seen with cholangitis.
2. Diverticula, no evidence of diverticulitis.
[**2142-12-23**] ERCP :
Esophageal web
Periampullary diverticulum
Successful biliary cannulation.
A single stricture that was 6 mm long was seen at the middle
third of the common bile duct.
There was an irregular appearance to the lining of bile duct,
likely secondary to cholangitis.
Sucessful sphincterotomy performed
Small 4mm stone was extracted. Pus was seen exiting the bile
duct.
Successful plastic biliary stent placement
Otherwise normal ercp to third part of the duodenum
Possible Mirizzi's versus tumor as a cause of stricture.
[**2142-12-26**] CXR ;
1. New small-to-moderate right-sided pleural effusion with
parenchymal
opacity which could probably be explained by compressive
atelectasis, although pneumonia is an additional differential
consideration.
2. Similar left lower lung opacity which is a more chronic
finding.
[**2142-12-28**]:
INDICATION: CBD stricture of unclear etiology. Evaluate for
pancreatic mass.
COMPARISON: CT of the abdomen [**2142-12-23**] and ERCP [**12-23**], [**2142**].
TECHNIQUE: Multidetector helical scanning of the abdomen was
performed prior
to and following the administration of 200 cc of IV Optiray
contrast.
Coronal, sagittal, volume-rendered and MIP reformats were
displayed.
CTA OF THE ABDOMEN: Left lower lobe bronchiectasis and small
bilateral
pleural effusions are unchanged from prior exam. There is
pneumobilia and a
common bile duct stent in place traversing the mid CBD stricture
seen on ERCP.
There is no soft tissue surrounding the CBD to definitively
suggest a biliary
malignancy. There is mild intrahepatic biliary ductal dilation.
There is an
8-mm low-density lesion within segment V/VI of the liver
(3A:43), which is too
small to characterize but likely a cyst.
No intrahepatic lesions. The portal vein is patent. The hepatic
arterial
anatomy is conventional. The pancreas enhances homogeneously and
there is no
evidence of a pancreatic mass. The superior mesenteric artery
and vein are
patent and normal in caliber and course. There is a prominent 12
mm portal
hilar lymph node (3B:110), likely reactive. There is also a
13-mm precaval
node (3B:119).
The spleen, gallbladder, and adrenal glands are normal. The
kidneys enhance
and excrete contrast symmetrically with multiple subcentimeter
hypoattenuating
lesions which are too small to characterize but likely cysts. A
16-mm
exophytic fat-containing left renal lesion is consistent with an
angiomyolipoma (3A:66). There is a left extrarenal pelvis. No
ascites. No
mesenteric adenopathy. The small bowel loops are normal. There
are
moderately extensive colonic diverticula.
The bones are mildly osteopenic and there are degenerative
changes, however,
no concerning lytic or sclerotic lesions.
IMPRESSION: Mild biliary dilation and stent within the CBD, with
no
pancreatic or biliary mass identified.
The study and the report were reviewed by the staff radiologist.

Brief Hospital Course:
This is a 72 year-old female with a who presented with acute
cholangits and was transfered for a ERCP and surgery evalaution.
# Acute Cholangitis: Pt has elevated LFTs and bili with RUQ pain
and fever of 102.9 at OSH. She was transfered for ERCP and
surgery eval. Pt had appearance of sepsis due to WBC from 9.4
with 56% bands at OSH to WBC of 31.3 and 30% bands in [**Hospital1 18**] ER
and fevers. ERCP showed stone obstruction with drainage of pus,
and stent was placed. Pt was admitted to the [**Hospital Unit Name 153**] post procedure
and remained NPO. Her LFTs started to down trend post ERCP. 2
hours post ERCP she developed some hypotension with BP dropping
from mid 90s to 70s. She was mentating and making urine. She was
given IVF bolus with LR and her BP improved to 90-100. She was
given IVF as needed to maintain UO and SBP>90. She had no
further abd pain post procedre. She continued on tx with unasyn.
[**2142-12-23**] OSH blood cx are growing GNR 2/4 bottles as of [**2142-12-24**]
at 9AM. She was transferd to the SICU per request of the surgery
team.
# CBD Stricture: On ERCP pt was found to have a stricture of
unclear cause. She then had a pancreatic protocol CTA, which
showed Mild biliary dilation and stent within the CBD, with no
pancreatic or biliary mass identified.
# Cholelithiasis: Following ERCP and sphincterotomy with stone
extraction, pt clincally stabilized and her LFTs gradually
returned to [**Location 213**]. At this point, she was taken to the
operating room for definitive management of her cholelithiasis.
Pt was found to have acute suppurative cholecystitis and
laproscopic cholecystectomy was performed. She recovered
uneventfully from this procedure.
# Atrial fibrillation: She developed RAF to 150 on [**2142-12-25**] and
was given IV lopressor and subsequently Diltiazem with
conversion to NSR. No further episodes.
# Possibe PNA: no clear resp sx or hypoxia. CT Abd showed some
lower lung fields with pulm bronchiectasis, which may expalin
the ER findings on her CXR. She has a 3 liter oxygen requirment
which is likely from IVF given in setting of sepsis.
Following transfer to the Surgical floor she continued to make
good progress. She remained free of any arrhythmias and was
gradually weaned off of oxygen with adequate saturations. She
was up and ambulating independently and voiding without
difficulty. Her diet was gradually advanced to regular and well
tolerated.

Imaging: [**2199-11-27**], chest x-ray, normal, no acute
cardiopulmonary process. Chest x-ray [**2199-12-3**], (on
admission), patchy right upper lobe, right middle lobe
infiltrate and diffuse right greater than left interstitial
pattern, normal mediastinum, no effusion.
HOSPITAL COURSE: A 33 year old male with no past medical
history originally admitted to the Intensive Care Unit with
hypoxia, bilateral pneumonia, received Ceftriaxone and
Azithromycin, and then Doxycycline was added since he had a
parakeet at home (he also has rats at home). He underwent a
bronchoscopy and had a computed tomographic angiography of
the thorax which demonstrated right middle lobe and right
lower lobe pulmonary emboli with a question of infarction.
He was subsequently heparinized. His human immunodeficiency
virus test was negative. He received Bactrim and steroids
for a few days but were stopped when his human
immunodeficiency virus test came back negative. A
hypercoagulability workup was pending when he arrived on the
floor in stable condition. On arrival to the floor he was
clinically improving on the heparin drip, Ceftriaxone,
Azithromycin, and Doxycycline. The further studies that were
obtained while in the Intensive Care Unit included [**First Name8 (NamePattern2) **] [**Doctor First Name **]
which was negative, an ANCA which was negative, hepatitis
panel which was negative. LENIS demonstrated no deep vein
thrombosis, a thrombosis of the right lesser saphenous vein,
echocardiogram was obtained as well on [**12-6**], that
demonstrated an ejection fraction of 50%, a mildly dilated
right ventricle and mild tricuspid regurgitation. The chest
computerized tomography scan mentioned above was on [**12-4**] and that demonstrated multiple small pulmonary emboli
(right lower lobe and right middle lobe) and bilateral
atypical pneumonias. Workup for the organism of said
pneumonia was undertaken. He had negative viral culture,
negative Chlamydia, negative leptospirosis, negative C.
Psittaci and negative mycoplasmas. Blood cultures were
negative as well. He was maintained on Azithromycin and
completed a 14 day course for his pneumonia. The Doxycycline
was withdrawn. He completed a ten day course of Ceftriaxone.
Regarding the pulmonary emboli, he remained hemodynamically
stable on a heparin drip throughout his admission. A repeat
computerized tomography scan of the thorax demonstrated
bilateral expanded heterogenous soft tissue densities within
the rectus abdominis muscle ? hematomas, partial resolution
of bilateral perihilar ground-glass opacities, left SVC,
however, no pulmonary emboli. Given the discrepancy between
the [**12-4**] and [**12-11**], computerized tomography
scans, it would be very difficult to prove that there were no
pulmonary emboli on the [**12-4**] film. The decision to
anticoagulate him for three to six months and then to pursue
further evaluation was made. Regarding his anticoagulation
workup, the patient had a positive anticardiolipin IgM
(46.9). This is an intermediate range value. The IgG
anticardiolipin value was 1.6. The patient had a normal PTT
on admission. While we can not make the diagnosis of
anticardiolipin syndrome on a single value, the finding
stands as nonspecific, however, the anticardiolipin panel
will have to be repeated in six weeks. The patient was
subsequently continued on anticoagulation for pulmonary
emboli. His heparin drip was discontinued by discharge where
he was bridged to Coumadin with Lovenox. Regarding the
rectus hematomas noted on computerized axial tomography scan,
this finding is commonly seen in the setting of
anticoagulation. The patient concurrently had fevers
maximally to 101 degrees F. There was concern perhaps the
fevers may be attributable to the hematoma or a local
infection thereabouts. He was started on Clindamycin in
conjunction with the Infectious Disease Consult Service's
recommendations. He completed a ten day course of
Clindamycin.
Finally, the patient was noted to have a drop in his
hematocrit during his anticoagulation. He was guaiac
negative. There was no other source for bleed identified.
It is likely he bled into the abdominal hematoma attributing
for the drop in hematocrit. The patient was also
intermittently hyponatremic during his stay, likely secondary
to syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone secondary
to the thoracic processes (namely bilateral pneumonia,
pulmonary embolisms) on this admission.
DISCHARGE DIAGNOSIS:
1. Bilobar pneumonia with atypical fevers
2. Pulmonary embolus
3. Rectus hematoma
4. Anticardiolipin antibody IgM positive
5. Hyponatremia
6. Anemia
FOLLOW UP: The patient will follow up with his primary
provider, [**Last Name (NamePattern4) **]. [**First Name8 (NamePattern2) **] [**Last Name (NamePattern1) **] the week following discharge.
MEDICATIONS ON DISCHARGE: He will be discharged on Lovenox
bridge to Coumadin. He was also discharged on Clindamycin to
complete his ten day course.

bilaterally.
HOSPITAL COURSE: As stated previously, the patient was a
direct admission to the operating room on [**2140-11-11**], at which
time she underwent a supracoronary ascending aortic graft
with a resuspension of the aortic valve. Please see the
operative report for full details. The patient tolerated
the operation well and was transferred from the operating
room to Cardiothoracic Intensive Care Unit. Circ arrest time
was eleven minutes. At the time of transfer, the patient had
Milrinone at 0.4 mcg/kg/minute, Amiodarone at 1 mg per
minute, Neo-Synephrine no dose indicated and Propofol, also
no dose indicated. The patient did well in the immediate
postoperative period. Her anesthesia was reversed. She was
weaned from the ventilator. In the morning of postoperative
day one, she was successfully extubated. On postoperative
day number one, her cardioactive medications were begun to be
weaning beginning with Amiodarone and Milrinone. By
postoperative day two, the patient was maintained with
minimal amounts of Amiodarone, Milrinone and Nipride. On
postoperative day two, the patient's Milrinone was
discontinued. Her Amiodarone was changed to p.o. Her
Nipride was discontinued with initiation of beta blockade.
Her chest tubes were removed. She was maintained in the
Cardiothoracic Intensive Care Unit for monitoring of her
hemodynamic and pulmonary status. On postoperative day
three, the patient continued to do well. She remained
hemodynamically stable. She was transferred from the
Cardiothoracic Intensive Care Unit to [**Hospital Ward Name 121**] Two for continuing
postoperative care and cardiac rehabilitation. Once on the
floor, it was noted that the patient had gone into sustained
atrial fibrillation with a heart rate of 100 to 110,
hemodynamically tolerated well. She was seen by the
electrophysiology service and was maintained on her p.o.
Lopressor as well as her p.o. Amiodarone and continued to be
monitored on the floor. Over the next two days, the patient
was in and out of atrial fibrillation. She remained
hemodynamically stable throughout these periods. On
postoperative day five, it was noted that the patient had a
drop in her hematocrit with guaiac positive stools. She was
seen by the gastroenterology service. At that time, she was
also transferred back to the Cardiothoracic Intensive Care
Unit for close monitoring. The patient underwent a KUB which
was read as normal. She also had stools sent for Clostridium
difficile which were negative. She was empirically started
on Flagyl at that time. The patient remained in the
Intensive Care Unit for the next several days to monitor her
gastrointestinal status to make sure that she had no further
guaiac positive stools. On postoperative day seven, she was
again transferred to the floor for continuing postoperative
care. Prior to transfer from the Intensive Care Unit, it was
noted that the patient had some left upper extremity
swelling. She underwent ultrasonography of her upper
extremities at that time to rule out a thrombosis.
Ultrasound showed a right internal jugular and cephalic
thrombus. Following transfer, the vascular service was
consulted and they recommended oral anticoagulation with
Coumadin, which was begun at that time. Over the next
several days, with the exception of intermittent atrial
fibrillation, the patient had an uneventful hospital course.
She was again seen by the electrophysiology service given her
episodes of atrial fibrillation, the last episode lasting
greater than 24 hours. The patient was additionally begun on
Heparin given the duration of this episode of atrial
fibrillation. The patient was scheduled for a direct current
cardioversion, however, prior to cardioversion, the patient
spontaneously converted to normal sinus rhythm. On
postoperative day twelve, it was decided that if the patient
remained in a rate controlled rhythm for the next 24 hours,
she would be stable and ready to be transferred to
rehabilitation.
At the time of this dictation, the patient's physical
examination is as follows; vital signs revealed temperature
98.2, heart rate 71, sinus rhythm, blood pressure 147/68,
respiratory rate 20, oxygen saturation 98% in room air.
Weight preoperatively was 50 kilograms and at transfer to
rehabilitation is 53 kilograms. Laboratory data on [**2140-11-23**],
white blood cell count 11.7, hematocrit 34.5, platelet count
219,000. Prothrombin time 15.0, partial thromboplastin time
25.0 with Heparin off. INR is 1.5. Sodium is 129, potassium
4.8, chloride 95, CO2 29, blood urea nitrogen 16, creatinine
0.8, glucose 183. The patient is alert and oriented times
three, moves all extremities, follows commands. Respiratory
revealed scattered rhonchi. Cardiac is regular rate and
rhythm with no murmur. The sternum is stable and incision
with Steri-strips open to air, clean and dry. The abdomen is
soft, nontender, nondistended with positive bowel sounds.
Extremities are warm and well perfused with no edema. Right
upper arm with minimal edema which has been resolving over
the last several days.
MEDICATIONS ON DISCHARGE:
1. Colace 100 mg p.o. twice a day.
2. Amiodarone 200 mg p.o. three times a day times one week
and then 200 mg p.o. once daily times one month.
3. Metoprolol 100 mg twice a day.
4. Lasix 20 mg once daily times ten days.
5. Potassium Chloride 20 meq once daily times ten days.
6. Prilosec 40 mg p.o. once daily.
7. Heparin 600 units per hour to keep partial thromboplastin
time 40 to 60 until INR is therapeutic.
8. Warfarin to maintain an INR between 2.0 and 2.5. The
patient received 2 mg of Coumadin two days prior to discharge
and no Coumadin on one day prior to discharge and 2 mg of
Coumadin on the night before discharge. We will check the
INR in the morning and dose Coumadin on the day of transfer
to rehabilitation center.
