Consider the following medical report that includes the patient's historical health records. Use it to predict the disease that the patient is high likely exposed to. Medical Report: allergies: prochlorperazine attending: chief complaint: intrahepatic cholangio carcinoma major surgical or invasive procedure: : right hepatic trisegmentectomy, cholecystectomy, intraoperative ultrasound, caudate lobe resection. history of present illness: 72 y/o femaile who was found to have a right lobe liver mass on abdominal ct. mri was done showing in a 7.1 x 6.4 x 7.2-cm mass in the right lobe of the liver suggestive of malignancy. the main portal vein was patent. the left hepatic vein was normal. the middle hepatic vein was displaced by the mass and the right hepatic vein was encased but did enhance near the ivc. ct guided biopsy in demonstrated poorly- differentiated adenocarcinoma. morphology and immunohistochemical staining pattern did not support a primary site. a negative stain for hepr1, afp and polyclonal cea mitigated against a primary hepatocellular carcinoma. a pet ct scan on demonstrated intense activity in the lesion of the liver with an suv of 10 but no other areas of fdg avidity were noted. tumor markers included a normal ca- 125 at 6.3, a ca19-9 elevated mildly at 79, a ca27.29 mildly elevated at 50.3 and a cea to 0.6. no pulmonary

caudate lobe resection with dr . she received at the time of surgery, the patient had a large mass in the right lobe of the liver extending into segment . by intraoperative ultrasound, it extended down to approximately the confluence of the right and left portal vein. it did not appear that there would be great deal of segment ivb left and its blood supply might be tenuous. it was then determined based on that information to proceed with a trisegmentectomy. the left lateral segment was free of disease. she had normal anatomy. final pathology showed invasive adenocarcinoma (cholangiocarcinoma) post operatively she was initially transferred to the sicu with a very labile bp ranging from 70 systolic to 160's. she had a hct drop to 24% and received rbc and cryo in the unit after receiving 5 units prbcs, 2 u plts and 2 u ffp while in surgery. she was extubated on . a picc was placed which was removed the day of discharge. she was transferred to 10 on pod 3. she received 2 more units of prbcs for a hct of 26% after which time she remained completely stable. aspirin was restarted on pod 3 and plavix restarted on pod 7. through the rest of the hospitalization she remained afebrile, diet was advanced with good tolerance but only fair appetite, regained bowel function and was working with physical therapy. the patient wsa screened for skilled nursing facility as

Consider the following medical report that includes the patient's historical health records. Use it to predict the disease that the patient is high likely exposed to. Medical Report: history of present illness: the patient was initially evaluated in the emergency room. labs obtained showed a white count of 8.9, neutrophils 81, lymphs 11, monos 4, eos 2, basophil 1, hematocrit 41.8, platelet count 331 k. bun 67, creatinine 5.3, potassium 5.7 treated. the patient was admitted to the medical service for further evaluation and treatment. renal and vascular consults were requested. the patient was seen by vascular service on , the day of admission. he has a non-healing right dorsal foot ulcer with digital gangrene and cellulitis with shallow ulcerations. he has been afebrile. he was placed on iv oxacillin. the patient does admit to rest pain and has noted a dry left medial malleolar ulceration. pulse examination: femoral pulses 1+. popliteals were dopplerable signal biphasic bilaterally. dp and pts were absent bilaterally. the right at was absent. the left at was monophasic doppler signal. the patient is now admitted for further evaluation and treatment by the renal and vascular services. past medical history: 1. hypertension. 2. peripheral vascular disease. 3. renal failure. 4. osteoarthritis. 5. history of cervical disc disease. 6.

manifestations unknown. social history: he is married. lives in . is a former 20 pack year smoker. is now disabled. physical examination: in the emergency room vital signs are 98.9 f, 71, 16, 94/47. o2 saturation 98% on room air. constitutional exam: edgy, but in no immediate distress. head, eyes, ears, nose and throat exam was unremarkable. the chest is clear to auscultation bilaterally. the heart is regular rate and rhythm. there are no murmurs, rubs, or gallops. abdominal exam: bowel sounds are present. it is soft, nontender, nondistended. there is no costovertebral angle tenderness. the right foot shows a 5 cm by 3 cm area of glossy erythema and necrosis with some serous sanguinous oozing with global pedal edema. the patient is not able to wiggle toes. her left foot shows global pedal erythema. the patient is able to wiggle toes. dorsalis pedis pulse is 1+. neurological exam is nonfocal. hospital course: patient was initially treated in the emergency room and admitted to the medical service. renal was consulted regarding his elevated creatinine and vascular regarding his ischemic rest pain. the renal service felt that the creatinine was not an acute change since he has had elevated creatinine within the last two months, the highest most recent being 5.5 in of this year and 4.4 in a year prior to that. there is question that maybe he has reoccurrence of his renal artery stenosis. i recommended a urine creatinine. recommendations were sodium bicarbonate for the acidosis tablets three t.i.d. for maintenance and one amp could be added a liter of half normal saline. continue to monitor his renal function and urinary output. the patient was placed on a pca dilaudid for pain control. he was followed by dr. , his cardiologist. he underwent on an abdominal aorta and bilateral iliac angios with nonselective renal angiography. femoral artery pressures, systolic 203 and diastolic 96, mean 134, heart rate 86. the abdominal aorta showed mild moderate atherosclerosis. the renal artery showed moderate restenosis of the right renal artery and left renal artery was patent without stenosis. the right lower extremity had a high grade diffuse disease of the right external iliacs, totally occluded internal iliacs. right common femoral was also occluded. the sfa was patent, but not viewed below the proximal thigh. the psa had moderate disease. there was no runoff due to renal failure seen on mra. the left extremity showed mild osteal left common iliac and left external iliac with severe disease with totally occluded internal iliac and probably occluded left common femoral with no runoff was done secondary to his chronic renal failure. the procedure was complicated by a left groin hematoma which required a ct scan to rule out a retroperitoneal bleed which this was negative. a mra was done which demonstrated a stenosis of the right internal iliac artery times three sequentially. right sfa was totally occluded, single vessel runoff via the perineal. on the left extremity, external iliac showed stenosis. left common femoral and sfa were totally occluded and the perineal was a single vessel runoff. post angio bun 47, creatinine 4.0, hematocrit 39.6. the patient had a p-mibi done on which showed a moderately reversible inferior and infralateral wall defect and ejection fraction of 46%. the study was reviewed by his cardiologist. he had a negative catheterization in . i felt this patient was at low risk for a perioperative cardiac event given high risk for at and difficulty of access. would consider doing an aorta-bifem. the patient underwent on an aorta-bifemoral bypass. he tolerated the procedure well and was transferred to the pacu in stable condition. on postoperative check he was hemodynamically stable. hematocrit was 33.8, bun 30, creatinine 3.2, potassium 4.8. is continued levo for his ulcers. bone scan was negative for osteomyelitis. his blood cultures were no growth. patient was transferred, extubated to the sicu for management of his metabolic acidosis secondary to chronic renal failure. given d5 and water with two amps of sodium bicarbonate and electrolytes were monitored. he was stable overnight. his acidosis was controlled. his abgs on postoperative day #1 were 7.36, 34, 170, 120 minus 5. hematocrit was 29.9, bun 23, creatinine 2.6, potassium 4.3, co2 17. his physical exam was unremarkable. he was continued heparin, protonix and he was transferred to the regular nursing floor. acute pain service followed the patient perioperative for analgesic management. he was begun on dilaudid pca at 1 mg q. six minutes, monitor max 11 mg. basal rate was 0.5 to 1 mg per hour with ativan of 0.5 to 1 mg iv q. three to four hours. the patient was transferred to the regular nursing floor on from the sicu. his renal status continued to show improvement and his acidosis was corrected. his basal rate pca was discontinued on and oxycontin was begun for analgesia control. patient had a picc line placed for antibiotics with a total of two to six weeks. pt was requested to see the patient and assess for discharge planning and independent mobility. remaining hospital course was unremarkable. wounds are clean, dry and intact. he had a functioning graft at time of discharge. discharge medications: 1. aluminum magnesium hydroxide 15 to 30 cc q.i.d. p.r.n. 2.

to junction of ivc. 2. right adrenal metastasis. 3. atypical hemangioma vs. metastatic disease of l5 for which correlation with bone scan or ct may be obtained. . chest cta (): 1. pulmonary embolism in the interlobar arteries of the posterior basal segment as well as of the branch feeding the right upper lobe. 2. multiple numerous nodules scattered throughout both lungs, which in this patient is worrisome with surrounding ground-glass opacity, which in this patient is worrisome for metastatic disease. 3. several wedge shaped opacities scattered throughout both lungs, which could be secondary to emboli. . cta chest: impression: 1. multiple pulmonary emboli are again seen within the arterial branches to the right upper and right lower lung lobes as well as the left lower lung lobes. 2. new pulmonary embolus in the arterial branch supplying the lateral segment of the right middle lobe probably an extension from the large clot burden in the right main pulmonary artery. 3. new airspace opacification within the left lower lung lobe, which likely represents infiltrate from infection versus infarction. 4. multiple, unchanged nodular opacities scattered throughout the lungs, which are consistent with metastatic disease. 5. right adrenal gland mass, not completely characterized as it was seen only on the non-contrast portion of this examination. . : bilateral lower extremity dvt

in the setting of pulmonary nodules. diagnosis was supported by as supported by decreased serum sodium after normal saline administered in the ed (likely hypoosmotic compared w/ urine osm). high urine osmolality and high urine sodium. the pt appears euvolemic on exam. she responded appropriately to fluid restriction of 1 liter per day. . 4) guaiac positive stool: source was unclear at present, though metastatic disease is a likely possibility given lack of localizing gi symptoms. patient was anticoagulated on heparin gtt. hematocrit was followed closely. gi work up will be needed pending neprectomy. . 5) anemia: iron deficiency in this pt. hct stable during her admission. goal hematocrit of 25 was maintained via transfusion of 1unit prbc's on admission. . 6) diabetes type 2: metformin and glyburide were discontinued on admission in preoperative period. pt was maintained on weight based insulin: nph twice daily, humalog before meals, and a humalong sliding scale. she should resume her oral antiglycemics as an outpatient. . . . . ms was transfered to the care of the urology service after her surgical procedure. she was prepared and consented for surgery as per standard. preoperatively, the patient was found to be a bit dyspneic. a chest ct which was obtained at our institution had demonstrated a pulmonary embolus. as a result, she was admitted to the hospital 5 days ago and was started on iv heparin. at this point she presents for left radical nephrectomy and removal of tumor thrombus. there were no significant intra-operative complications. on the floor, ms was carefully monitored for cardiac complications and endocrine dysfunction. the endocrine team saw her and requested for an 8am cortisol test two days in a row; her cortisol levels were normal and aldosterone levels are still pending. a cortisol stimulation test was advised, but failed on two attempts, however it was felt that her 8am cortisol level was sufficient. the endocrine team felt the metastases to the remaining adrenal had not drastically affected her adrenal/endocrine function at this time. ms was also followed by the cardiac team. over the course of 9 days, she continued to do well and consistently progress. she was slowly weaned from oxygen by postoperative day six, and physical therapy regularly started to see her. initially, her oxygen saturation would drop (lowwest of 78%) during exertion; however, this improved over the course of 3 days until she was able to walk on her own, without oxygen supplmentation and assistance. on postoperative days five and six, a new pulmonary embolus was discovered; the pulmonary service was asked to consult in regards to the best treatment options available. their advice was leni's to determine whether there was a lower extremity source for the recurrent emboli and if so, to consider placement of a filter. they also reccomended for an echo, which did not show any evidence of right heart strain. the leni's obtained did not show a deep vein thrombus in either limb, and hence, the idea of placing a filter was discarded. instead, per pulmonary consult, anticoaguation with coumadin was decided on with a target inr between . ms was started on coumadin, with regular inr monitoring. upon discharge, the coumadin dose the prior night was held and her inr was 4.2. she was told to hold coumadin the night of her discharge, and vna was arranged in order to monitor the inr levels in the next week. these results will be sent to her pcp who will then adjust her coumadin dose as necessary. currently, she was sent

vt-ablation for persistent slow vt, which was complicated by a small myocardial perforation, which led to a pericardial effusion/tamponade. the pt. underwent pericardiocentesis in the cath lab, and approximately 375cc of serosanguinous fluid was drained. a drain was left in place, and was removed after 12 hours of no drainage, which occurred on day 2 following catheterization. pulsus, jugular venous distension and blood pressure were followed closely. . after catheterization, the pt. was treated with mexilitine (a class 1b antiarrhythmic), and amiodarone, and was initially av-paced at 100bpm. the pt. was paced at a rate greater than her usual vt-rate (90bpm) in order to decrease the probability of conversion to vt. the pt. remained in normal rhythm, and after two days of mexilitine treatment, av-pacing was switched to 80bpm. the pt. tolerated this well, and there were no episodes of vt on continuous telemetry monitoring. the pt. was also continued on metoprolol. . the pt. was initially volume overloaded on exam, with symptoms of heart failure including shortness of breath, lower extremity edema, dyspnea on exertion, and recently increased orthopnea. these symptoms were likely secondary to poor forward flow related to slow vt. a cxr showed no signs of cardiopulmonary edema. the pt. responded well to diuresis with lasix. . tte revealed a large left ventricular apical aneurysm, which was felt to be likely old/organized. the pt. was treated with heparin and transitioned to coumadin for ppx against thromboembolism/embolic stroke. the pt. also has a history of paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (paf) and had previously been on coumadin. since the pt. has a risk of re-bleed and re-effusion, inr goal in the short term is conservative, at 1.5-2.0. this goal can be increased in the future by pcp. . the pt's hypoxia was initially worsened from her baseline of 2l o2 via nc at home. the pt. reported that her o2 had been initiated several years ago due to her "heart problems". the pt. did maintain sats in the low-mid 90s on room air, but with exertion/ambulation, she de-sat'ed to 80s. by the time of d/c, she was stable on 2l nc. she was discharged on lasix 20mg qd; this dose may be adjusted in the future based on volume status and renal function. . on admission, the pt. had a cr of 2.7, which is elevated above pt's baseline of 1.6-2.0. it was thought that this may have resulted from poor forward flow in the setting of slow-vt. with diuresis and av-pacing/rhythm control, cr was trending toward baseline at the time of discharge. . regarding code status, the pt. remains dni, but patient did want shocks if needed, and has an in place. . patient was evaluated by physical therapy during this admission. medications on admission: (list per pt, not sure of

to the medical intensive care unit given his profound hypoxia with a saturation of 66% on room air and his chest x-ray which showed rapid development within one day of what was initially read as a small questionable left lower lobe infiltrate on and a chest x-ray on with diffuse right-sided consolidation as well as left upper lobe infiltrate. the patient was started on ceftriaxone and azithromycin. he persistently had a dry cough without any sputum. the patient was initially on a 50% face mask at which time he desaturated to the high 90s. he was changed to a nonrebreather. subsequently, on nonrebreather he had an abg of 7.42, 41, 77. the patient was then weaned off oxygen from face mask to nasal cannula and had a requirement of approximately 5-6 liters of oxygen. at this time, he was transferred to the medical floor where he was rapidly weaned to a saturation of 92% on room air. the patient was continued on a total of a five day course of azithromycin as well as

Consider the following medical report that includes the patient's historical health records. Use it to predict the disease that the patient is high likely exposed to. Medical Report: history of present illness: the patient is a 78-year-old female with multiple medical problems who comes to us from for respiratory distress and hypotension. she has been on a tracheostomy since when she had a coronary artery bypass graft at an outside hospital and had failure to wean. she was transferred to rehabilitation for ventilatory weaning and was given the diagnosis of tracheobronchomalacia and had two stents placed in the distal trachea and left main stent. these stents are made of silicone. on the day prior to admission, the patient developed respiratory distress, shortness of breath, cyanosis, and hypoxia. her ventilator settings at that time were assist control with a tidal volume of 600, a respiratory rate of 12, an fio2 of 0.5, and a positive end-expiratory pressure of 6. this resulted in an arterial blood gas with a ph of 7.12, a carbonate dioxide of 104, and an o2 of 36. she arrived to alert. she was being bagged through her tracheostomy and was hemodynamically stable. she had an urgent bronchoscopy, as the original thought was that perhaps her stents had been displaced causing blockage and hypoxia. the bronchoscopy showed that her stents were in place. instead, she had significant mucous plugging (greater on the left). these were removed with some difficulty. subsequently, her clinical status improved, and she was transferred to the intensive care unit for followup and stabilization. past medical history: 1. coronary artery disease; status post myocardial infarction and coronary artery bypass graft in at . 2. congestive heart failure (with an ejection fraction of 30%); per notes. 3. failure to wean; status post coronary artery bypass graft with tracheostomy placement. 4. history of methicillin-resistant staphylococcus epidermitis bacteremia and sepsis;

one cardiogenic and the second reason was thought to be related to septicemia. with treatment of her pneumonia with antibiotics as well as initiation of digoxin, she has been able to maintain her blood pressures adequately without the need for pressors. at the time of discharge, she had been off any pressors or drips for greater than four days. 4. adrenal insufficiency issues: the patient came to us on prednisone. a cortical stimulation test was performed which was difficult to interpret due to her baseline levels of prednisone. it was decided to start her on stress doses of steroids for seven days. she received fludrocortisone by mouth and hydrocortisone intravenously, which was discontinued on the day prior to discharge. 5. diabetes issues: fingerstick blood glucose goals for this patient was 110. initially, she was written for a sliding-scale; however, it was thought that with stress-dose steroids this increased her glucose and was difficult to maintain just on a sliding-scale. therefore, an insulin drip was started which will be discontinued following the completion of her stress-dose steroids. 6. fluids/electrolytes/nutrition issues: the patient came to us with a percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy tube and received tube feeds per nutrition consultation. she had her electrolytes repleted as needed. 7. sedation issues: the patient remained on a versed drip and fentanyl drip during her time here, which were weaned approximately 20% per day toward her discharge. she was given haldol as needed to aid with the sedation weaning. at times the patient was very agitated during examination but was able to be calmed with verbal preparation. 8. prophylaxis issues: the patient was maintained on subcutaneous heparin three times per day, pneumatic boots, and a proton pump inhibitor. 9. consent and communication: consent and communication for the patient's care was obtained through her sister . can be reached at telephone number . 10. code status issues: the patient's code status is do not resuscitate. note: the remainder of this dictation will be completed at a future date. , m.d. dictated by: medquist36 procedure: continuous invasive mechanical ventilation for 96 consecutive hours or more insertion of endotracheal tube enteral infusion of concentrated nutritional substances bronchoscopy through artificial stoma injection or infusion of oxazolidinone class of antibiotics diagnoses: pneumonia due to other gram-negative bacteria chronic airway obstruction, not elsewhere classified coronary atherosclerosis of unspecified type of vessel, native or graft acute and chronic respiratory failure cardiogenic shock septic shock pneumonia due to klebsiella pneumoniae other tracheostomy complications Answer: The patient is high likely exposed to

Consider the following medical report that includes the patient's historical health records. Use it to predict the disease that the patient is high likely exposed to. Medical Report: history of present illness: this is an 89 year old woman with a history of atrial fibrillation, pulmonary hypertension, gastrointestinal bleed with chronic anemia, chronic renal insufficiency who had been complaining at home of lower back pain. on the morning of admission her daughter was helping her to the bathroom when the patient collapsed without breathing, without pulse. daughter and initiated cardiopulmonary resuscitation and emergency medical services were called. emergency medical services arrived and placed an automated external defibrillator which determined a shockable rhythm. she received one shock of 200 joules which converted her to a pulseless electrical activity rhythm. she was given atropine and a second shock and went into an atrial fibrillation rhythm with a rapid ventricular response. the patient was started on lidocaine drip and was transferred to the emergency room. total time pulseless was approximately 15 minutes. the patient arrived to the emergency room in rapid atrial fibrillation with a blood pressure in the 80s and was started on intravenous fluids. initial electrocardiograms showed no significant st or t wave changes. her first ck was 48, her component was 2.7, her potassium was 2.5. at this time it is felt likely that she had suffered a primary arrhythmia leading to her arrest. the patient was not taken to the catheterization laboratory but was admitted to the coronary care unit for further management. past medical history: atrial fibrillation for which she is on amiodarone. she has a history of a congestive heart failure with an echocardiogram in showing concentric left ventricular hypertrophy with an ejection fraction of 50%. she had biatrial enlargement, moderate mitral regurgitation and severe pulmonary hypertension. she also had a history of chronic anemia. she has a history of a gastrointestinal bleed in which was felt to be due to a gastric arteriovenous malformation. she also has chronic thrombocytopenia with a baseline platelet count of about 80,000. she also has chronic renal insufficiency. her baseline creatinine is approximately 1.4. medications at home: 1. aspirin 81 mg q.d. 2. toprol xl 25 mg q.d. 3. zestril 40 mg q.d. 4. prilosec 20 mg q.d. 5. multivitamin one tablet q.d. 6. amiodarone 200 mg q. day social history: she lives with her family, she has a homemaker. she walk with a cane. she does not have a history of tobacco and she occasionally uses alcohol. allergies: no known drug allergies. physical examination: on admission her vital signs were temperature of 98.6, heartrate 109, blood pressure 130/78, breathing 24 times per minute. she was vented on assist control, 500 cc by 12 with 60% fio2 and positive end-expiratory pressure of 5. initial examination was an elderly intubated woman who was sedated. head, eyes, ears, nose and throat examination showed her to be normocephalic, atraumatic with bilateral surgical pupils. neck examination was supple with no jugulovenous distension appreciated. there was no lymphadenopathy noted. cardiac examination showed a right ventricular heave. it was irregularly irregular with s1 and s2 and s3 murmur. her chest examination was clear to auscultation bilaterally. her abdomen was soft and distended but nontender. there were bowel sounds in all four quadrants. she was guaiac positive from below. her extremities showed trace peripheral edema. there were 2+ pulses bilaterally. neurological examination: she was intubated and sedated. there was no spontaneous movement noted. laboratory data: her laboratory data on admission showed a white count of 14.4, hematocrit of 33.4, platelets of 83. chem-7 showed sodium of 146, potassium 2.5, chloride of 107, bicarbonate 18, bun 19 and creatinine 1.5 with a glucose of 140. her inr was 2.0, her ptt was 37.2. initial ck was 48 with a negative mb and a troponin of 2.7. urinalysis revealed no red cells, no white cells and no casts. chest x-ray on admission showed cardiomegaly with a calcified aorta. electrocardiogram showed an atrial fibrillation with a rapid ventricular response and infrequent ectopy. she received a chest and abdominal computerized tomography scan showing no aortic aneurysm. there was no dissection but there was a small right pleural effusion. head computerized tomography scan showed periventricular white matter changes but no acute bleed. hospital course: the patient was admitted to the coronary care unit for further management. cks were cycled and were negative. the patient did not go for cardiac catheterization as this was felt to be a primary arrhythmogenic event. the patient had her potassium repleted by both p.o. and intravenous replacement with a rapid rise in potassium to 3.5 on the first day of admission. the patient had an arterial blood gases with ph of 7.34, pco2 of 41, po2 of 273 on the above mentioned settings. the patient was started on thiamine and folate. she as switched to captopril and her lopressor increased and converted to a normal sinus rhythm by day #2 of her admission. the patient remained breathing over the vent by one to two breaths per minute. the patient underwent bedside electroencephalogram to evaluate for neural activity as well as potential seizure activity. initial electroencephalogram readings suggested that she was having seizure activity and on hospital day #2 went into a nonconvulsive status epilepticus status. the patient was loaded on phenobarbital with continuation of the status. i received two additional loads of phenobarbital with a goal level of greater than 40 which eventually started to break her status epilepticus. she did continue to have episodes of epileptiform activity on her bedside electroencephalogram and so valproate was added to her regimen at that point. with therapeutic levels of valproate and phenobarbital she was felt to have control of her epileptic activity. in addition to the epileptiform activity the bedside electroencephalogram revealed significant anoxic encephalopathy. at this point it was felt that further neurological recovery was unlikely and a family meeting was called to determine what the future goals of care should be. after extensive discussions with the family it was felt that the patient would want to be continued on longterm care as long as life was viable. as a result the plan was made for percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy and tracheostomy which initially was held up due to elevated inrs which corrected slowly with the addition of vitamin k. the patient was started on tube feeds which she tolerated well. on , showing no further epileptiform activity and with a corrected inr the patient had a percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy and tracheostomy tube placed. she has remained cardiovascularly stable with blood pressures running 110 to 150, well controlled on antihypertensives. her lidocaine as previously mentioned was discontinued on day #2. she has had no further significant ectopic activity. 1. cardiovascular - a. arrhythmia, the patient was felt to have a primary arrhythmia due to hypokalemia in the setting of pre-existing structural heart disease. it is not felt that this was an ischemic event and with the corrected potassium she has had no further ectopic activity. it was elected to defer any further electrophysiologic study at this time given the approximate cause of a low potassium. b. coronary artery disease, patient with a history of coronary artery disease but does not seem to have had an acute coronary spasm. c. pump status, the patient with a relatively preserved ejection fraction at this time. she has continued to perfuse will throughout her hospital stay here, occasionally requiring a small lasix dose. she was started on 40 mg p.o. lasix on . 2. pulmonary status - the patient is currently on a ventilator at assist control with title volumes of 500 set at 10 times 10 breaths per minute with an fio2 of 40%. the patient has had no difficulty with her oxygenation, however, after trials of pressure support mode, the patient developed apnea and required to be placed back on assist control mode of ventilation. at this point given her neurologic status we see little prospect of further improvement and was given a tracheostomy. 3. renal - the patient with stable renal function throughout her stay here with no elevation in bun and creatinine. the patient has had some progressive peripheral edema, though no respiratory compromise. the patient is well controlled on small doses of lasix p.o. 4. gastrointestinal - the patient is getting feedings through her percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy tube, is tolerating it well with low residuals. there has been no evidence of gastrointestinal bleed though she was initially guaiac positive from below. she has had brown, well formed stools throughout her stay here. 5. infectious disease - the patient with no acute infectious problems. the patient did, during her hospital stay have one out of four bottles positive for staphylococcus epidermidis. this was thought to be a contaminate. although the patient has continued to have a mildly elevated white count, she has had no other focal signs of infection and she has not been treated with antibiotics. 6. endocrine - the patient has been stable from blood sugar point of view. there is no indication for adrenal compromise as well. disposition: the patient is to be sent for longterm care. the patient is still a full code according to the family's wishes. discharge medications: 1. nystatin swish and swallow 2. zantac 150 mg p.o. q. day 3. valproic acid 250 mg p.o. at 8 am and 4 pm and 500 mg p.o. at midnight 4. phenobarbital 15 mg p.o. in the morning, 30 mg p.o. at night 5. captopril 25 mg p.o. t.i.d. 6.

the patient was able to use her lips to suck food from a straw; however, believes that this ability decreased over the course of the next two days. by sunday she had significant difficulty swallowing any whole food. if she swallowed whole food she noticed that she would need to cough and was concerned that she would choke on it. she was unable to chew very well at all. the patient on sunday also started to notice a worsening of her breathing. she again describes this as an inability to take full deep breaths. she felt like she was always out of breath and needed to take many more smaller breaths. the patient also was complaining of some mild diplopia predominantly in the afternoon. in addition, she felt that her speech was slurred and abnormal. she felt she was having difficulty moving her mouth to make the sounds as well as difficulty with sounds produced by her tongue and pharynx. the patient believed that her breathing was slightly improved when she was sitting up as opposed to lying flat. as these symptoms progressed, she called her neurologist on tuesday who based on the worsening of her symptoms, recommended that she go to her local emergency department. the patient presented to emergency room where they evaluated her and then transferred her to for further evaluation. the patient denies significant cough over the last few days. she did note that she had an episode of coughing after she was given a breathing treatment at hospital, but does not believe that there has been any difficulty with coughing during these last four days. she does have an

that she is very good after a night's sleep and reports that she is very active and energetic in the morning; however, this abates by early afternoon. the patient is not completely clear of the workup, she got the diagnosis of myasthenia, but she does remember getting a multiple blood tests as well as an emg and she has been started on mestinon for at least two years now. she did not remember if she had a trial of steroids but did not believe so during this interview. the patient reports that she is well-controlled on mestinon usually. she will get tired and feel fatigued before

she was started on levophed drip. . of note, patient was recently admitted to the ccu service for dyspnea and somnolence. altered mental status was attributed to hyponatremia to 118, after ruling out intracranial processes and pan-hypopituitarism. dyspnea was attributed to decompensated heart failure, with tte revealing ef of 15-20% and cardiac catheterization showing no new ischemic disease. towards the end of the admission, the patient was noted to have guaiac positive stools, including an episode of melena one day prior to discharge. per discharge summary, the gi recommendations were for patient to undergo outpatient workup for source of bleed, as the patient's stools had returned to brown color, and hct was stable. this is not documented in the ed. . changes to her , per the recent discharge summary, include stopping fexofenadine, amitriptyline, atenolol, and paroxetine and starting simvastatin, baby aspirin, metoprolol, and immodium. levothyroxine was increased and vitamin d added. discharge dose of lasix was 40 mg once daily. . review of systems: currently, patient feels tired and weak. she denies abdominal pain, nausea, or vomiting. past medical history: #

discharged from the hospital for chf exacerbation and readmitted with hypotension, fever, positive ua, diarrhea and guiaic positive brown stools. . # hypotension: caused by uti (urosepsis) and possible gi bleed. patient started on ciprofloxacin for klebsiella uti and will be treated for 14 day course. hemocrit was stable so gi bleed was less likely. anti-hypertensives were held initially given hypotension and then were slowly restarted. at discharge, patient was on home dose of metoprolol and lisinopril. lasix was reduced to 20mg. patient should be followed up as an outpatient for further titration of bp meds . #gastrointestinal bleed: guaiac paositive stools on admission. prior admission included guaiac positive stools. gi had seen patient on last visit and plan was made to follow up with gi as outpatient. no other interventions were necessary. hct was stable throughout admission. . # systolic congestive heart failure: euvolemic on transfer to floor. given hypotension lasix was held and restarted at 20mg on discharge. daily weights should be recorded and titration of lasix should occur as an outpatient. . # acute on chronic renal failure: patient had prerenal azotemia on admission in the setting of hypotension and sepsis. creatinine is trended down during hospital stay with fluid resuscitation. . # hypervolemic hyponatremia: patient normo-natremic on admission and with volume resuscitation became slight hyponatremic to as low as 131. on discharge na was 132. patient was mentating well. no other interventions were done. patient should have electrolytes completed as an outpatient for follow up. . # atrial fibrillation: rate control was held on admission while hypotension then was slowly added back on. on discharge patient was at home

cxr pre-op: impression: right middle lobe linear atelectases/scarring with lesser involvement of the right lower lobe. cxr: supine bedside chest radiograph: an endotracheal tube terminates at the level of the carina and could be retracted by 2-3 cm. cardiac, mediastinal and hilar contours are normal. the lungs are clear. there are minimal bilateral pleural effusions. there is no pneumothorax. linear right middle lobe opacity persists though is less prominent, likely atelectasis or scar. cxr impression: 1. new bilateral moderately large pleural effusions and pulmonary edema. 2. satisfactory position of right upper extremity peripherally inserted central venous catheter. : ap chest compared to : moderate to large bilateral pleural effusion, has increased substantially since , but may not have changed significantly since , allowing for differences in patient positioning. currently, the substantial pleural effusions obscure the lung bases, but the left is more radiopaque than the right either atelectasis or pneumonia. the heart is not enlarged, but the upper mediastinum is widened, due at least in part to distention of the mediastinal veins, but it also raises concern, given the appropriate clinical history of dilatation of the aorta. close clinical evaluation is advised. nasogastric tube passes into the stomach and out of view. a right pic line ends in the mid to low svc. cxr: moderate-to-large bilateral pleural effusion has improved slightly. there is no pneumothorax. on the left, rounded contour projecting to the left of the hilus is probably a fissural component of pleural fluid. on the right, a new oblique contour projecting over the right hilus is probably the right major fissure indicating nearly complete collapse of the right lung extending to the superior segment of the lower lobe. heart size is normal. azygous distension has improved suggesting either decreasing volume overload or central venous hypertension. right pic line ends in the low svc. cxr: findings: as compared to the previous radiograph, the patient has received a right thoracocentesis. the extent of the pleural effusion has markedly decreased. there is no safe evidence of pneumothorax. on the left, the appearance of the lung is unchanged. borderline size of the cardiac silhouette. unchanged opacities at the right lung base. unchanged course and position of the right picc line. cxr: findings: as compared to the previous radiograph, the very extensive left pleural effusion, better visible on the lateral than on the frontal radiograph, appears unchanged. on the right, a small effusion obliterates the costophrenic sinus on today's examination. there are areas of both right and left atelectasis that are slightly more extensive than on the previous image. unchanged size of the cardiac silhouette. unchanged position of the right picc line. the remaining lung parenchyma is unremarkable. cxr: findings: as compared to the previous radiograph, there is no relevant change. the bilateral pleural effusions, left more than right and subsequent areas of atelectatic consolidations are unchanged. no newly appeared focal parenchymal opacities. no increase of pleural effusion. unchanged size of the cardiac silhouette. ct torso: impression: 1. no evidence of rectosigmoid anastomotic dehiscence. 2. postoperative findings in the abdomen and pelvis as above. a moderate volume of ascites persists. 3. bilateral pleural effusions with overlying atelectasis. brief hospital course: ms. is a 55yo f vietmanese-speaking woman w/hx of hcv (previously undetectable

hysterectomy, salpingo-oopherectomy, tumor debulking, rectosigmoid resection with reanastomosis, omentectomy, resection of 2 diaphragmatic nodules, ablation of tumor implants and liver biopsy. please see omr for further details. she received 3 units blood, 5 units ffp and 3 grams of albumin. approximately 5l of ascites fluid was drained and she had 1l ebl. intraop findings significant for extensive disease, optimally debulked. a hepatobiliary consult was requested intra-op for resection of diaphragmatic nodules and liver biopsy. she was transferred to the for post-op monitoring. she remained stable and was able to be extubated on . chest xrays were significant for bilateral pleural effusions. she did have significant pain issues w/nausea and vomiting, relieved somewhat by zofran and ativan. she was started on a dilaudid pca with small doses of toradol. an acute pain consult was requested and they recommended continuation of iv meds rather than placement of regional anesthesia. ancef and keflex were given as prophylaxis. tpn was ordered but pt had low grade fever which initially delayed picc; picc placed on . pt was stable and able to be transferred to the floor on . on the floor, she did well. she was continued on the dilaudid pca. she did have some r flank pain and was given a lidocaine patch with good relief. the tpn was continued and daily electrolytes were followed. she was continued on prophylactic heparin, which was changed to lovenox on pod#10. the tpn was weaned and then stopped on pod#12. the ngt was removed on pod#5. she was tolerating a regular diet with return of normal bowel function on discharge. she was also tolerating po pain medication at this time. she was discharged home with a foley catheter as she failed two voiding trials. she had been noted to have minimal pleural effusions on cxr from pod#0. on pod#4 she had a desaturation to 90% on ra; she was given 1l o2 by nc with o2 sat of 96%. an ap cxr was done with a final read of moderate to large bilateral pleural effusions. a repeat was done on with pa and lateral views demonstrating near collapse of the bilateral bases. interventional pulmonology was consulted and performed a thoracentesis on pod#5. 800cc was drained, and this fluid was positive for malignant cells. she received two doses of lasix following this procedure for a desaturation which resolved. an attempt was made to drain the left collection on but was unsuccessful. further attempts were not pursued as the patient was saturating well on room air throughout the remainder of her hospitalization. ms. had persistent intermittent fevers during her post-op course. blood cultures were negative on multiple occasions. a urine culture on pod#4 was positive for e. coli that was esbl-resistant but sensitive to macrobid. she was started on this and continued for 7 days. a repeat culture on pod#7 was negative. a ct of the torso was performed on pod#9; no anastamotic leak was identified and no abscesses were seen. infectious diseases was consulted on ; they initially recommended empiric coverage with tigecycline given the previous urine culture data, but after further discussion the decision was made to continue observation. hiv was tested for and she was negative. the fevers ultimately resolved and were attributed to drug fevers, and by discharge she was afebrile for over 48 hours. medications on admission: ibuprofen prilosec 20mg po daily discharge medications: 1. acetaminophen 500 mg tablet sig: two (2) tablet po q6h (every 6 hours) as needed for pain. 2. ibuprofen 600

Consider the following medical report that includes the patient's historical health records. Use it to predict the disease that the patient is high likely exposed to. Medical Report: allergies: bactrim ds / sulfa (sulfonamides) attending: chief complaint: shortness of breath, left leg swelling major surgical or invasive procedure: none. history of present illness: 62yo woman with history of hypertension presented to clinic on day of admission with multiple complaints including chest pain radiating to her left shoulder, shortness of breath on exertion, cough, and worsening lle swelling and pain x 2 days. on initial exam, her vitals were stable: t 97.7, bp 126/84, p65, rr10 98%ra. her exam was notable for lle swelling and warmth. she was sent to the ed for further evaluation. in the ed, her evaluation was notable for the following: clear chest film; cta demonstrating bilateral pe's; lle leni with extensive dvt in left common femoral, superficial femoral, and popliteal veins, also extending into greater saphenous; also found to have acute coagulopathy, anemia, and thrombocytopenia. she was also found to have brbpr. gi was consulted, and recommended to perform bowel prep in anticipation of colonoscopy in am. surgery was consulted as well, and agreed with plan for anticoagulation for pe's and further investigation for gi bleeding by gi. . on interview on the floor she is alert, oriented, very pleasant, and in no distress. she confirms that over the past several days she has had exertional dyspnea, chest pain (described as dull pressure, , mid-sternal with radiation to bilateral shoulders, not clearly pleuritic) and worsening lle swelling and pain. she also reports several recent bouts of upper respiratory symptoms after exposure to her grandson who is an infant in daycare (reportedly had rsv bronchiolitis recently). otherwise, she denies any fever, chills, n/v, lymphadenopathy, night sweats, unintentional weight loss, abdominal pain/increased girth, or pruritus. she does report one episode of brbpr on day prior to admission after having bowel movement. ros otherwise negative. she also reports a worsening dry cough since she has been in the hospital. she did not have a flu shot. she does not report any long plane/car trips, no prolonged bed-rest. she notes that the swelling in her l leg has improved since

pelvic vein clot from imaged portion of common femoral to the confluence of the common iliac veins, likely the source of pulmonary emboli. no definite extension to the right common iliac vein or ivc. 3. large hemangioma in liver. 4. colonic diverticulosis without diverticulitis. 5. left adnexal cyst, unusual in a postmenopausal patient. this should be further evaluated with pelvic ultrasound on a nonemergent basis. leni: extensive acute dvt within the entire left lower extremity deep venous systems. no right dvt. ecg: sinus rhythm. non-specific junctional st segment depressions. compared to the previous tracing this finding is new. tte: the left atrium is elongated. left ventricular wall thicknesses are normal. the left ventricular cavity size is normal. overall left ventricular systolic function is normal (lvef>55%). tissue doppler imaging suggests a normal left ventricular filling pressure (pcwp<12mmhg). right ventricular chamber size and free wall motion are normal. the aortic arch is mildly dilated. the aortic valve leaflets (3) appear structurally normal with good leaflet excursion. there is no aortic valve stenosis. no aortic regurgitation is seen. the mitral valve appears structurally normal with trivial mitral regurgitation. the left ventricular inflow pattern suggests impaired relaxation. there is borderline pulmonary artery systolic hypertension. there is a trivial/physiologic pericardial effusion. pelvic us: fibroids, follicular activity left ovary, right ovary not seen, thrombus in the left iliac vein brief hospital course: 1) dvt/pe: patient was started on anticoagulation with heparin for extensive pe/dvt (lle). this was continued despite bleeding. once the bleeding has stabilized, she was started on coumadin. she was discharged on a lovenox bridge to coumadin. in terms of workup for cause of this thrombosis, pt had a pelvic us to further evaluate mass since on ct as potential malignancy. but there was no evidence of ovarian malignancy. she was up to date on other cancer screening. factor v leiden and prothrombin gene mutation were pending at time of discharge. the rest of the hypercoagulable workup will have to be done once acute thrombosis resolves. the left leg swelling improved throughout the admission. pt was instructed to keep the leg wrapped most of the day. and to keep it elevated when lying in bed or sitting. .. 2) gi bleed: flex sig showed diverticulosis so this bleeding was secondary to that. pt did have blood loss anemia requiring transfusions. during the last 5days of the admission, there was no clinical bleeding and her hct was stable to slightly improving. aspirin was held. verapamil was also held and not restarted as pt's bp was well controlled in house. .. 3) htn: as above, verapamil was held. .. 4) coagulopathy: on admission, pt had thromboctyopenia, low fibrinogen. this was felt to be due to consumption and factors improved once anticoagulation was started. there was no evidence of frank dic. .. 5) pneumonia: several days into the admission, pt developed a low grade temperature and cough. though this was most likely due to pulmonary infarction, levaquin was started for pneumonia. pt's cough improved with this and she completed a 5d course of levaquin before discharge. medications on admission: aspirin 81 mg betamethasone valerate 0.1 % to skin metrogel 1 % to skin multivitamin qd

avoid anything that requires prolonged standing, sitting (with legs not elevated) ie driving, or walking. you can continue to use the leg wrap during the night and part of the day. as your swelling improves, you should not continue to need that. followup instructions: you will have your inr checked on monday with results sent to dr. . he will instruct you on whether you need to continue lovenox and how to adjust your coumadin dose. please ask the vna which lab the blood will be sent to. please follow up with dr. late next week or early the following week. procedure: flexible sigmoidoscopy

involvement of several of the carpal bones, although it is difficult to adequately assess on this plain film study due to suboptimal positioning. further imaging evaluation with ct would be advised. recommendation for further imaging was conveyed to in the intensive care unit by phone on at 1:14 p.m. : bil. foot x-ray: left foot: intraarticular fracture of the base of the proximal phalanx of the big toe. some degenerative changes present at the tarsometatarsal articulations. there is also degenerative change in the intercarpal articulations. there is a well-corticated large plantar heel spur and prominent os trigonum noted posteriorly. there is minor degenerative change at the ankle joint. right foot: there are fractures through the base of the second and third metatarsal bones. there is irregularity and likely a fracture through the distal aspect of the second metatarsal bone. there is significant irregularity, degenerative change at the first metatarsophalangeal joint. : left shoulder x-ray (results pending) : left elbow x-ray ( results pending) brief hospital course: the patient was admitted to the acute care service after a 8 foot fall from scaffolding with possible loss of consciousness. upon admission, he was made npo, given intravenous fluids, and underwent imaging. he was reported to have sustained left sided facial fractures, including a left carotid canal fracture, right scapular fracture, isolated left 5th rib fracture, and fractures to the right metatarsal. he was found to have a right dorsally displaced distal radius fracture which was reduced with a hematoma block and a splint was applied. because of the extent of his injuries, he was evaluated by several services. he was admitted to the intensive care unit for monitoring and neuro-vascular assessment. the plastic service was consulted for his facial fractures and recommended sinus precautions and a 7 day course of augmentin. per orthopedics, no surgical intervention was warrented for his lower extremity fractures. a hard sole shoe was ordered for his feet. on hd #4 he reported decreased mobility of his left shoulder and elbow swelling. imaging showed a radial head fracture which was treated in a closed manner and out-patient evaluation recommended. he was also found to have a transverse fracture through the inferior aspect of the patella and closed non-operative treatment recommended. as a result of the fall, he sustained a frontal sinus fracture with associated pneumocephalus. he remained neurologically stable. his neurological status was closely monitored and no acute or further neurosurgical intervention was indicated. throughtout his hospitalization, his vital signs have remained stable. he has been afebrile and has maintained a stable neurological,

from hospital to yesterday () due to melena. initially, there had been plans for mvr/tvr in 3/. the pt was admitted to hospital from w/ refractory peripheral edema chronic right sided heart failure and was diuresed; he was also developed pneumococcal pneumonia/bacteremia so was treated with two weeks of ctx which he completed in rehab. while at rehab, warfarin was restarted for afib (this had been discontinued in a large diverticular bleed) and 3 days later he had dark/tarry stools in the setting of inr of 3.4 and hct of 27.5 (from 30 on ). he was sent to hospital on where he was found to have hct of 28.3 which dropped to 25.8 on repeat. inr was 2.31. he was given at least 2 units of ffp and 10 mg vitamin k which brought his inr down to 1.9. per wife, pt received 1 unit prbcs. he underwent egd which showed only a small amount of blood in the stomach and signs of congestive gastropathy with multiple hemorrhagic changes. he was transferred to on because his cardiac care has been here. on the cardiac surgery service, gi was consulted given his recent gi bleed and plan were made for colonscopy on . he was also seen by vascular surgery for his b/l le ulcers. per cardiac surgery, he is not a candidate for surgery at this time due to gi bleed and various other issues (see below) so a transfer to medicine was requested. past medical history: hypercholesterolemia chf (ef 45% on )

ventricular wall thicknesses are normal. the left ventricular cavity is severely dilated. there is moderate to severe reduction of the left ventricular ejection fraction at least partially due to ventricular interaction (lvef = 30 %). the right ventricular free wall is hypertrophied. the right ventricular cavity is markedly dilated with severe global free wall hypokinesis. there is abnormal septal motion/position consistent with right ventricular pressure/volume overload. 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. the mitral valve leaflets do not fully coapt. severe (4+) mitral regurgitation is seen. the tricuspid valve leaflets are mildly thickened. moderate to severe tricuspid regurgitation is seen. there is at least moderate pulmonary artery systolic hypertension. the main pulmonary artery is dilated. the branch pulmonary arteries are dilated. there is no pericardial effusion. cxr: the left pectoral pacemaker lead terminates in the region of the base of the right ventricle. there is severe cardiomegaly with surrounding atelectasis. there is opacification in the right lower lobe with air bronchograms that likely represents pneumonia. there is no pulmonary vascular congestion or pneumothorax. there are probably small pleural effusions. impression: right lower lobe pneumonia. tte: the left atrium is markedly dilated. the right atrium is markedly dilated. no atrial septal defect is seen by 2d or color doppler. the estimated right atrial pressure is at least 15 mmhg. left ventricular wall thicknesses are normal. the left ventricular cavity is severely dilated. there is mild to moderate global left ventricular hypokinesis (lvef = 45 %). no masses or thrombi are seen in the left ventricle. there is no ventricular septal defect. the right ventricular cavity is markedly dilated with severe global free wall hypokinesis. there is abnormal septal motion/position consistent with right ventricular pressure/volume overload. the ascending aorta is mildly dilated. 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. an eccentric, posteriorly directed jet of severe (4+) mitral regurgitation is seen. the left ventricular inflow pattern suggests a restrictive filling abnormality, with elevated left atrial pressure. the tricuspid valve leaflets are mildly thickened. moderate to severe tricuspid regurgitation is seen. there is moderate pulmonary artery systolic hypertension. there is no pericardial effusion. egd: mottled erythema (giraffe skin pattern) and atrophy in the antrum compatible with atrophic gastritis (biopsy) fundic gland polyps otherwise normal egd to third part of the duodenum. colonoscopy: polyp at 65cm in the transverse colon (polypectomy). diverticulosis of the mid-ascending colon and sigmoid colon. otherwise normal colonoscopy to cecum and terminal ileum. non-invasive arterial studies: 1. mild inflow arterial disease to the right lower extremity, likely located at the iliac level. 2. no evidence of arterial insufficiency to the left lower extremity. abd u/s: 1. exaggerated phasicity within the portal vein; dilated hepatic veins and ivc; pleural effusion and ascites; findings all consistent with changes of congestive heart failure and valvular regurgitation. 2. gallbladder wall edema, also compatible with congestive heart failure. 3. left lobe hepatic cyst. gi bleeding study: intermittent gi bleeding localized to the ascending colon, just proximal to the hepatic flexure. cta abdomen findings: 1. tortuous, rotated and atherosclerotic aorta was demonstrated. 2. multiple digital subtraction angiograms from the superior mesenteric artery did not demonstrate any active extravasation. 3. inferior mesenteric artery was not identified. impression: uncomplicated mesenteric arteriogram of the superior mesenteric artery with no active extravasation demonstrated. pathology: a) antrum, biopsy: fundic/antral mucosa with scattered dilated gastric pits. some of the fragments of tissue may represent (portions of) fundic gland polyps. b) colon, transverse, polypectomy: adenoma. brief hospital course: 81 yo m w/ h/o chf (ef 45%), porcine av replacement, severe mr/tr, afib, tachy-brady syndrome s/p pacemaker, diverticulosis s/p bleed in , transferred from hospital to on for evaluation of melena. . #) goals of care: during the course of mr. hospitalization, the decision was made to transition the goals of his care to focus on his comfort. the decision was made after his second gi bleed. although an unsuccessful attempt was made to stop the bleed via interventional radiology, the patient did not want to undergo a repeat colonoscopy and it was felt that the risks of this procedure in light of his comorbid conditions outweighed the benefits. multiple discussions were had with the patient, his longtime girlfriend, and his sons, including his health care proxy, and the decision was made to treat his gi bleed conservatively and to transition his code status to "dnr/dni". the patient reported that he simply wanted to go home or at least to a hospice setting. he will be continued on diuretic therapy for comfort and is to be discharged to a hospice facility. #) gib: pt had hx of melena with hct drop to 25 in setting of anticoagulation with coumadin at rehab. egd at osh showed congestive gastropathy, repeat egd at showed atrophic gastritis. colonoscopy showed diverticulosis of mid-ascending colon and sigmoid w/o any active bleeding; a polyp was also noted in the transverse colon which was removed, pathology c/w adenoma. the gi team felt that given his history of large amounts of bloody and black stool neither of these findings might account for his bleed. his initial bleeding was ultimately attributed to his gastritis/gastropathy in the setting of a supratherapeutic inr. the patient again had a gi bleed on , this time with brbpr. he underwent a tagged rbc scan which revealed a bleeding near the hepatic flexure, unfortunately ir was unable localize the source for an intervention. a colonoscopy was consider however, given the patients poor functional status, significant comorbidities, and shift in the patient's goals of care, the decision was made to treat his bleed conservatively. he was given multiple transfusions and his hematocrit gradually stabilized. he continues to have maroonish stools. #) acute on chronic systolic congestive heart failure secondary to severe mr : the patient was initially evaluated for the possibility of valve replacement, however it was felt he was a very poor surgical candidate. he had an episode of respiratory distress and hypotension prompting transfer to the ccu. he was aggressively diuresed with a lasix drip, and transitioned to oral torsemide. he continues to have le edema and slight pulmonary edema. the patient is to continues on his diuretic regimen to comfort. #) severe malnutrition: the patient reported 70 pounds weight loss in the last 3 years and is cachetic. he was evaluated by nutrition and began taking supplements with his meals. he is to continue with these supplements, but should be mindful of his total fluid intake given his schf. . #) atrial fibrillation: the patient remained in atrial fibrillation throughout his hospital stay. all of his anticoagulation has been stopped given both his gi bleed and his new goals of care. . #) coagulopathy: initialy was secondary to warfarin and was reversed at osh with ffp and vitamin k 10 mg from 3.4 to 1.9. concern that coagulopathy may be secondary to impaired hepatic function given chf with evidence of congestive hepatopathy on ultrasound. he is no longer being anticoagulated as above. . #) thrombocytopenia: on admission to , plts were around 60. this was a drop from baseline of 146 on (160 in 12/). the plts had already started to trend down by when they were documented at 64 at hospital. during his hospitalization at , platelets remained stable around 60. the etiology of the thrombocytopenia was unclear but may have been reactive in the setting of illness vs. related to evolving liver disease. #) acute on chronic kidney disease: pt with stage iii ckd with baseline creatinine of 1.6. on admission patient was at his baseline but creatinine bumped to 2.2 on after several days of npo status in setting continued diuresis. blood pressures also dropped in this setting so atn was a possible contributor. he was given fluids and creatinine trend back to his baseline. #) rll infiltrate on cxr: pt found to have rll infiltrate on cxr on admission. he was recently treated with ctx and azithro for strep pneumo pna/bacteremia in so this was felt to be residual infiltrate vs. new aspiration pneumonitis. patient had no active cough, fever or leukocytosis and antibiotics were not started. #) le ulcers: pt's ulcers were likely blistering from chronic le edema. pulses were intact so arterial disease was felt less likely to be etiology. vascular was consulted and abis performed which showed low level r le disease at iliac level. vascular was not concerned about mild arterial disease and patient was managed with leg elevation, abm foam dressings, and ace wrap bandaging. #) unstageable sacral decub: pt with pre-existing sacral decubitus ulcer. wound care was consulted and made recommendations for management. nutrition was addressed as above and patient was frequently moved. medications on admission: home medications: albuterol sulfate 90 mcg hfa aerosol inhaler 2 puffs inh prn allopurinol 300 mg tablet daily fluticasone-salmeterol 250 mcg-50

for ischemic left foot s/p heparinazation and thrombectomy with left leg fasciotomy. course complicated by hypotension and hypoxia after extubation, found to have pcp pneumonia, hiv with cd4 11. the patient was transferred to micu for treatment of her pcp . was started on bactrim, as well as steroid taper. her o2 requirements while in the unit were 4l nc, satting in the low to mid 90s. the patient frequently desatted while in the unit to the mid 80s in the context of taking off her nasal cannula or any physical activity. her o2 sats improved with putting on nc and resting. the patient had an interesting affect in the unit and based on cd4 count, it was decided that brain imaging was indicated. cvl pulled night prior to icu transfer. increased delirium the morning of transfer. looked ill-appearing, more so than usual. dropped sats into 70s on facemask, and then switched to nrb and went back up to 100% but then was unresponsive, glaced over, not responding to commands. increased lethargy and was becoming more and more altered. received 40 mg iv lasix on transit to icu. the patient was then transferred to the floor. 1. pcp : while she was there she was continued on her bactrim and prednisone taper for her pcp . 2. acute occipital stroke: the patient had subsequent head imaging on the floor, which revealed an acute occipital stroke, most likely embolic. work up for embolic stroke included bubble echo that did not show e/o right to left shunt or thrombosis. tee not done because at the time pt was too sick to tolerate it. 3. new hiv dx: id was following the

imaging mri head technique: sagittal t1, axial t1, axial flair, axial t2, axial t2 star and diffusion-weighted mr imaging of the brain was obtained without the administration of contrast. comparison: none available. findings: there is an area of restricted diffusion in the right occipital lobe with corresponding hypointensity on adc images consistent with acute infarction. small foci of hemorrhage are seen within this region. there is surrounding edema and cortical swelling. no evidence of mass effect is seen. no shift of normally midline structures. the ventricles and uninvolved sulci are within normal limits for a patient of this age. the major intracranial vessel flow voids are preserved. impression: right occipital infarction with small areas of hemorrhage. no shift of normally midline structures. . ct head indication: patient with altered mental status requiring intubation, new diagnosis of hiv and occipital stroke. comparisons: mr brain of and ct brain of technique: mdct-acquired contiguous images through the brain were obtained without intravenous contrast at 5-mm slice thickness. coronally and sagittally reformatted images were displayed. findings: there is no evidence of hemorrhage, mass effect, recent infarction, or shift of normally midline structures. confluent hypodensity involving right occipital lobe (2:20), corresponds to the area of patient's known occipital infarction and appears slightly more conspicuous from exam. the sulci and ventricles are prominent, likely age related involutional changes. basal cisterns are patent. mucosal thickening of the sphenoid sinus is noted. otherwise, paranasal sinuses and mastoid air cells appear well aerated. no acute fracture is seen. impression: focal hypodensity involving the right occipital lobe, corresponds to patient's known area of infarction, and appears slightly more conspicuous from ct exam. . ct chest: history: hiv. pcp . subclavian central venous line, evaluate pneumothorax. technique: multidetector helical scanning of the chest was performed without the indication for intravenous contrast , read in conjunction with conventional chest radiographs as recent as 2:20 p.m. on and a preceding chest ct on . findings: moderate right pneumothorax collects anteriorly, and could be larger than it was on the chest radiograph earlier today. there is no indication of hemodynamic tension. despite improvement in widespread ground-glass pulmonary opacification compared to , there is a much more pronounced consolidation. while some of this, in the right lung could be atelectasis secondary to the pneumothorax, the great bulk of it is infectious, possibly a second pathogen in addition to pneumocystis which was almost exclusively ground glass in quality on . bacterial pathogens are more likely than fungal, but the appearance is entirely nonspecific. an endotracheal tube is in standard position. a subcentimeter right upper lobe lung nodule, detected on the earlier study is still present and should be followed, 2:18. previous mild central adenopathy has not changed. there is no pericardial or pleural effusion. et tube is in standard placement. nasogastric tube passes to the mid stomach, the lowest level of imaging. this study is not designed for subdiaphragmatic diagnosis but shows there is no adrenal mass. impression: 1. moderate right pneumothorax, not loculated, collected anteriorly, may have increased since 2:20 p.m. 2. although previous widespread pcp alveolitis has improved, extensive consolidation has worsened and could be due to infection by a second pathogen. no appreciable pleural or pericardial effusion. mild adenopathy, unchanged. 3. subcentimeter right upper lobe lung nodule should be followed. . discharge labs: =============== 09:18am blood

pending at discharge: ============================= hiv genotyping brief hospital course: primary reason for hospitalization: =================================== ms. is a 59 f with pmh anxiety and depression who was initially admitted on for ischemic left foot with hospital course complicated by occipital stroke, new hiv diagnosis, high grade cmv viremia with concern for cmv colitis, and recurrent episodes of hypoxia secondary to pcp pneumonia and superimposed hcap. . active issues: ============== # respiratory failure: required multiple intubations and admissions to icu. the primary process was pcp pneumonia but also it appears that patient developed developed superimposed bacterial infection (hcap). there may also have been cmv pneumonia as well given cmv antigen from bal. patient saturating well on room air at time of discharge. . # pcp : initial cxr with diffuse radiologic opacities, and positive fluorescence stain consistent with acute pcp . -- completed 21 day course of bactrim and steroids -- will continue additional 5 days of steroids to taper -- will start prophylactic dose bactrim after therapy is completed . # health care associated pneumonia: developed late in course of hosptilazation and required reintubation but responded rapidly to antibiotics. - completed full course of vancomycin/zosyn, 8 days . # diarrhea: extensive workup for stool pathogens was unremarkable. given that patient had cmv viremia and severe diarrhea in the setting of cd4 count of 11, the patient was started on treatment for cmv colitis. gi was consulted for possible biopsy to confirm the diagnosis, however flex has poor negative predictive value for ruling out cmv colitis, therefore decision was made to treat regardless because of clinical suspicion. also possible that diarrhea is antibiotic related or that this is hiv enteropathy. multiple negative cdif tests. -- 3-6 weeks of gancicyclovir iv with duration to be determined at id follow-up with dr. -- prn loperamide now that most infectious causes ruled out. . # anemia. stable. likely secondary to production deficit given inappropriately low retic count. multiple causes may be contributing including acute illness, suppression from virus (cmv, hiv) or medications (antivirals, bactrim). patient did have guaiac + stool but no frank melena. -- could consider bone marrow biopsy to eval for infiltrative bm process although given other explanations, likely should wait until acute illnesses resolving before considering. . # new diagnosis of hiv. cd4 count 11. patient was started on haart with darunavir, ritonavir and truvada. unclear how patient acquired the hiv infection as no history of iv drug use, blood transfusions, or multiple sexual partners. she continues to be very distressed by how she acquired the infection and she received counseling for this new diagnosis while inpatient. -- hiv genotype still pending at discharge. will be followed-up by dr. with medication changes made if neccessary. -- continue prophylaxis with azithromycin and bactrim . # cmv infection: cmv detected by pcr in csf. also cmv early antigen in bal specimen. clinical suspicion of cmv colitis as discussed above. opthalmology evaluated patient in hospital and ruled out cmv retinitis, but did detect hiv retinopathy. -- 3-6 weeks of gancicyclovir iv with duration to be determined at id follow-up with dr. . # acute encephalopathy. improved. most likely toxic/metabolic encephalopathy from severe illness that improved with treatment of underlying conditions. patient also had acute occipital stroke. in addition patient had cmv pcr in csf. lp was otherwise unremarkable for toxo, crypto, syphilis. . # depression: psychiatry was involved inpatient due to depression with superimposed delirium. - home dose of sertraline was increased to 150mg daily - aripiprazole 2mg daily was added as adjunctive therapy - home clonazepam was stopped - patient will need outpatient follow-up after resolution of acute illness . # acute occipital stroke: most likely embolic, but with negative bubble study x 2. given absence of vascular risk factors patient likely to have hypercoagulable state which may be related to hiv or an undiagnosed malignancy. testing for acquired predispositions to arterial thrombosis was unremarkable. -- age appropriate cancer screening for origin of hypercoagulability. defered to outpatient after resolution of acute illness. . # hsv2 vesicles: improved with antivirals -- there should be less chance of reactivation with initiation of haart -- gancyclovir also provides coverage for hsv2 . # limb ischemia: s/p thrombectomy for ischemic left foot and fasciotomy caused by an acute arterial thrombus. in discussion with vascular surgery, it was decided that patient should go to rehab to recover strength first before undergoing any further surgery. -- patient will follow-up with dr. in vascular surgery for possible amputation once patient's strength is improving. -- patient non-weight bearing on the left -- continue heparin gtt for bridge to coumadin. goal inr . discharge inr 2 after receiving 3 mg warfarin x 3 days. please monitor inr closely and adjust warfarin as necessary. her sensitivity to warfarin at discharge was high, requiring a very low dose. . # pneumothorax. complication of subclavian line placement. patient had chest tube placed, which was removed on . still small apical ptx present on but asymptomatic . # malnutrition, severe: patient with poor appetite and weight loss for several weeks prior to this admission. while inpatient she was aspirating initially and therefore had a ng tube placed for feeding. when her respiratory status improved she had a video swallow eval which cleared her for po intake. most likely the etiology is her severe underlying illness including aids and the other superimposed infections causing increased caloric needs and decreased appetite. -- nutrition consult at rehab. continue ensure plus with meals for now. . transitional issues: ==================== - repeat ct chest 6 weeks from to f/u pulmonary nodules - age appropriate cancer screening for origin of hypercoagulability. defered to outpatient after resolution of acute illness. - please schedule outpatient pcp with resident clinic ( ) - please check twice weekly labs of cbc w/diff and chem-7 faxed

hsv-2 ulcers depression anxiety discharge condition: mental status: clear and coherent. level of consciousness: alert and interactive. activity status: out of bed with assistance to chair or wheelchair. discharge instructions: you were admitted to the hospital with ischemia in your left foot. during an operation for this, you developed difficulty breathing and were eventually diagnosed with pneumocystis pneumonia. this type of infection is typically seen in people with decreased immune system function, and you were diagnosed with hiv after a workup for immune deficiency. your pneumocystis pneumonia was treated with a course of antibiotics and steroids. during your stay, you also developed a secondary bacterial pneumonia which was treated with an additional course of antibiotics. your hospital course was complicated by a stroke caused by a blood clot in the right occipital lobe of your brain, likely related to the same process that caused your arterial thrombus and foot ischemia. blood tests and echocardiography were perfomed to help determine what caused these blood clots, but no clear cause was found. you developed diarrhea, which was likely caused by cmv infection of the colon. you were found to have the cmv virus in your blood, and were treated with antiviral medications, which will need to be continued for a long course. you had an eye exam to rule out cmv infection of the retina. no evidence of this infection was found, but you were found to have hiv retinopathy. once your acute issues were stabilized and you were able to take oral medications, treatment for your hiv infection was also started. this regimen may need to be adjusted based on the results of viral genotyping, which is still pending. the infectious disease service will be following after discharge to help manage your future treatment. you will need eventual followup with vascular surgery for surgical treatment of your ischemic foot, likely with an amputation. your home medication regimen was significantly changed during your stay. you should refer to your discharge medication sheet for your new medication regimen and dosing instructions. you have had a long and difficult hospitalization, but are clearly improving and on the road to recovery. you are being discharged to a rehab facility for your ongoing treatment of your infections and to start aggressive

Consider the following medical report that includes the patient's historical health records. Use it to predict the disease that the patient is high likely exposed to. Medical Report: allergies: zosyn / morphine / penicillins attending: chief complaint: ascending cholangitis pneumonia major surgical or invasive procedure: ercp history of present illness: 65m with alcoholic focal pancreatitis in with suspicious vessel invasion, atypical cytology with distal cbd stricture, sphincterotomy and wallstent placement with last ercp for stent occlusion admitted to with increased lfts, abdominal pain, nausea/vomitting, chills, and bcx growing strep (?pneumonia). has had four hospitalizations for acute pancreatitis. seen by surgery dr. in past and thought not to be a

multifocal ground glass opacity which appears new from same day chest radiograph. differential diagnosis includes pulmonary edema, atypical infection, or aspiration. 2. biliary dilatation in the context of a metal stent. there are also multiple discrete hypoattenuating lesions within the liver parenchyma. these appear new when compared to . interestingly, extensive peripancreatic soft tissue abnormality present that has mostly resolved. there are no focal bone lesions. the medical history is reviewed. the fact that the patient originally presented in with pancreatic abnormalities and there has been no progression of disease would argue against the diagnosis of pancreatic adenocarcinoma. as such, given the presence of cholangitis, the discrete hypoattenuating lesions in the left lobe of the liver could represent small microabscesses. continued attention on followup is recommended. at 11 mm, they are small too percutaneously sample especially given their high dome location. ercp : impression: metal stent removed from the cbd. no significant intrahepatic ductal dilatation. a plastic stent was placed. for more details/recommendations please see the gastroenterology report in careweb from the same date. xray l ankle : impression: diffuse abnormalities which could reflect charcot foot related to a systemic neuropathy or could potentially be the sequelae of old injury with secondary arthritic changes. no definite superimposed acute fracture is identified, but a subtle injury would be difficult to detect given the diffuse abnormalities. with this in mind, correlation with any previous outside radiographs would be helpful to assess for interval change. brief hospital course: mr. was transferred from an osh on . he was admitted to dr. service in the sicu. he was awake and responsive, placed on iv abx, and made npo with ivf. a ct of his torso was obtained, which was consistent with ascending cholangitis and pneumonia. a gi consult was obtained for ercp. hypoxia: on hd 1, the patient had labored breathting and became hypoxic. he was intubated for impending repiratory failure. he was extubated on hd 5. he was transferred from the sicu to the general floor on hd 6. aspiration: while advancing his diet, it was noted that he would cough with consumption of thin liquids. a speech and swallow eval was obtained who recommended 1:1 monitoring and small amounts of thin liquids. otherwise, he was tolerating a regular diet prior to discharge. ascending cholangitis: on hd 3 and ercp was performed and old metal stent was removed from the cbd. a new plastis stent was placed. the patient tolerated the procedure well. atrial fibrillation: on hd 4, the patient went into atrial fibrillation and he was rate controlled medically. he was subsequently cardioverted in the sicu by the cardiology service that day. he returned into a-fib rhythm on hd 5. an attempt to medically cardiovert/rate control him with amioadarone and diltiazem in the sicu. he again converted to nsr. he again went into a-fib on hd 7 and was seen again on the floor by cardiology who recommended using 50mg metoprolol q8hrs and increasing ammounts as tolerated for tachycardia providing his bp is stable. diltiazem was d/c'd and amiodarone continued. they also recommmened anticoagulation with coumadin. however, given his upcoming operation with dr. on , it was decided to hold coumadin and anti-coagulate the patient with heparin or lovenox. pt intermittenly in a-fib, rate controlled with moteprolol. left ankle pain / poor ambulation: the patient has a history of charcot arthropathy, and developed worsening ankle pain on hd 6. an ankle xray was performed showing chronic changes withouth evidence of accute injury. he was seen for fitting of an ankle brace by nopco, but he refused the brace. he ambulated with pt on hd 10, but was deemed a poor candidate for self care at home based on his unsteady gate and assist requirements. the patient was

tach at 100, left axis deviation, right bundle branch block, inferior q waves, no prior cxr : 1. concern for small left-sided hydropneumothorax of uncertain etiology. 2. 13 mm right lower lobe pulmonary nodule. differential includes nipple shadow, osseous lesion, or pulmonary parenchymal nodule. followup radiographs with oblique projections and nipple markers could be considered. alternatively, ct of the chest could also be performed for further characterization of the left-sided pleural process and the right lower lobe nodule. 3. no confluent consolidation or pulmonary edema. cxr : mild pulmonary edema is new. opacification of the base of the left lung, accompanied by elevation of the left hemidiaphragm is substantially atelectasis, now accompanied by small pleural effusion. followup advised to exclude developing pneumonia in this location from presumed aspiration. heart size is normal. no pneumothorax. right jugular line ends in the svc. abdominal ultrasound : the liver is diffusely echogenic and difficult to penetrate. there is a moderate amount of abdominal ascites. hepatopetal flow is seen within the main portal vein. the common bile duct is normal in caliber at 3 mm. the pancreas is not well visualized due to overlying structures. the gallbladder is not well demonstrated on this study, no gallstones are seen. the right kidney measures 9.9 cm. there is a prominent calix in the mid pole, though there is no frank hydronephrosis, nor mass nor stones. the left kidney measures 10.1 cm, and is normal in appearance without masses, hydronephrosis, or stones. the bladder contains a foley catheter and is collapsed. there is a moderate left pleural effusion. the spleen is normal in size and measures 7 cm in the craniocaudal dimension. impression: 1. limited study, demonstrating an echogenic liver consistent with fatty liver. other forms of liver disease and more serious liver disease such as hepatic cirrhosis/fibrosis are not excluded. there is moderate abdominal ascites. 2. normal-appearing kidneys bilaterally, without hydronephrosis. the bladder contains a foley catheter and is collapsed. cxr: : compared to the previous radiograph, there is mild increase in extent of bilateral pleural effusions. as a consequence, the retrocardiac atelectasis has also increased. subtle signs indicative of mild fluid overload. no evidence of pneumonia. unchanged right internal jugular vein catheter. echo: due to suboptimal technical quality, a focal wall motion abnormality cannot be fully excluded. the aortic valve is not well seen. there is no aortic valve stenosis. the mitral valve leaflets are not well seen. the pulmonary artery systolic pressure could not be determined. impression: image quality is extremely suboptimal, making assessment of ventricular and valvular function very difficult. left and right ventricular systolic function are probably normal, a focal wall motion abnormality cannot be excluded. cxr: left pleural effusion appears to be unchanged associated with small amount of right pleural effusion. left retrocardiac opacity most likely reflects atelectasis but infectious process cannot be excluded as well as aspiration. the rest of the lungs are clear. heart size and mediastinal silhouette are stable. renal us: the right and left kidneys measure 9.5 and 10.1 cm respectively. no hydronephrosis, stones, or renal masses are seen. the urinary bladder is collapsed around a foley catheter. the urinary bladder likely has a small amount of debris. moderate amount of ascites is seen throughout the abdomen. impression: normal kidneys, without evidence of hydronephrosis. cxr (): findings: as compared to the previous radiograph, the pre-existing left pleural effusion has slightly increased in extent. the effusion occupies approximately half of the left hemithorax. there are relatively extensive areas of subsequent atelectasis. the left-sided aspect of the cardiac silhouette can no longer be visualized. on the right, there is an unchanged area of atelectasis but no evidence of pleural effusion or pneumonia. cxr (): impression: an ap chest compared to through : left lower lobe collapse has improved. moderate bilateral pleural effusion is present, stable on the left, increased on the right and there is a suggestion of new consolidation in the right lower lobe that could be a large pneumonia. confirmation with conventional radiographs recommended when feasible. ct abdomen and pelvis (): within the pelvis, adjacent to the sigmoid colon, there are locules of free air decreased in extent compared to the prior study (2:65). it is difficult to ascertain the size of an associated abscess given lack of iv contrast and adjacent ascites, but it has likely decreased in size and the most distinct component measures 3.4 x 1.6 cm (2:65) versus 4.5 x 1.6 cm previously. note is made of an apparent rectal catheter. there are bilateral fat containing uncomplicated inguinal hernias. impression: 1. decreased locules of air adjacent to the sigmoid colon with associated small fluid collection which has mildly decreased in size (although this is difficult to quantify given larges ascites and lack of iv contrast) suggests abscess. given the presence of adjacent sigmoid diverticulosis, the possibility of a contained diverticular perforation should be considered. 2. mild increase in large volume ascites. 3. unchanged small to moderate bilateral pleural effusions. 4. tiny non-obstructing left lower pole renal calculus. 5. moderate hiatal hernia, as before. brief hospital course: 68 year old man with etoh abuse initially with hypotension and hypothermia, now with resolved lactic and etoh/starvation ketoacidosis acidosis, found to have sbp with . medical service course: # hypotension with concern for sepsis: patient briefly hypotensive in er and admitted to icu, however resolved with fluids. in setting of hypothermia, leukocytosis and elevated lactate, concern was originally for sepsis, source initially unclear. was treated broadly with vancomycin and zosyn, which was narrowed to azithromycin and ceftriaxone to treat possible community acquired pneumonia and/or urinary tract infection (urine cultures negative). in addition, hypotension may have been due to hypovolemia in the setting of poor oral intake over a prolonged period. lactate trended down with fluid resuscitation. pleural fluid was transudative. on transfer to the floor, patient had paracentesis which showed impressive sbp. patient was given a course of ceftriaxone for 7 days. all culture data has been negative, however much was drawn after antibiotic administration. throughout admission, systolic blood pressure remained in the low 100s= high 90s. his blood pressure remained stable until when he dropped to 78/doppler overnight repeat hct showed drop to 23 and then 6 hours later dropped to 20.6. he had black melenic stool. one unit of prbc was ordered and he was sent to the unit for endoscopy. endoscopy showed showed blood and gastritis, no active bleeding and no varices or ulcers. repeat egd showed friable mucosa in esophagus, but no blood. his blood pressures and hct remained stable and he was transferred out of the micu. once on the floor he had no recurrence of hypotension. while in sicu, was persistently hypotensive. unable to wean neo, and was only withdrawn after pt's hcp made decision to make pt . . # gi bleed: his hct was stable for most of the course of his stay, but on he became relatively hypotensive and labs revealed a rpt hct drop. there was concern for gi bleed and plan was for endoscopy in the icu. patient was transferred to the unit and endoscopy showed showed blood and gastritis, no active bleeding and no varices or ulcers. repeat egd showed friable mucosa in esophagus, but no blood. hct and bp remained stable and he was transferred out of the icu after 3 days. once on the floor he showed no further hypotension or gi bleeding. . # oliguric : creatinine on admission 1.4 vs 0.8 one year ago, improved with fluids. atn likely initial cause, given muddy brown casts in urine. remained oliguric across icu stay despite aggressive volume resuscitation of ~10l. abdominal ultrasound showed no hydronephrosis or evidence of obstruction. patient developed edema shortly after transfer to the medicine floor, given albumin trial, with minimal urine output. one dose of lasix 20mg iv with good urine output but acutely worsened cr to 1.5. albumin was continued and renal and hepatology were consulted for concern for hrs. urine sediment continued to show muddy brown casts, likely from resolving atn. fena was < 1%. repeat us showed no hydronehprosis. albumin was continued and creatinine improved and stiabilized at 1.3. he was believed to have acutely worsened creatinine to cirrhosis and sbp infection. he remained oliguric and continued to be challenged with fluid and albumin. his creatinine settled out around 1.3 until when it rose to 1.5 in the setting of gi bleed. his urine output also dropped off and he became anuric. cr rose to 3.9 by with anuria, thought to be due to atn. pt's kidney function did not improve. remain anuric, and required cvvh, which was withdrawn when pt made . # sbp: patient was diagnosed with sbp on . he had already been on empiric treatment with ceftriaxone for 2 days. he completed a 7 day course. rpt para on showed bacterial peritonitis. there was concern for secondary bacterial peritonitis. work up for secondary bacterial peritonitis was negative, but started treatment with ceftazidine on and flagyl on . repeat paracentensis on continued to show leukocytosis with negative cultures, vancomycin was added . the patient remained febrile despite this therapy. paracentesis showed continued leukocytosis of the ascitic fluid, raising concern for an alternative source of abdominal infection. concern for abscess, perforation, or collection led to ct abdomen on despite worsening renal function and atn. this study showed the presence of a rectovesciular abscess. this likely explained the persistent leukoyctosis of the ascitic fluid. antibiotics were continued. abx was discontinued when pt made . . # abscess: ct performed revealed the presence of a rectovesicular abscess, likely a previously perforated diverticula. the position of this abscess was such that ir drainage was unlikely. surgery was consulted for possible open drainage. vancomycin, flagyl, and ceftazadime were continued. abx was discontinued when pt made . . # altered mental status/delerium: patient waxed and waned during his hospital course (a&ox1-3). his delerium was likely the result of a combination of influences: icu time, infection (sbp), baseline depression and etoh abuse, , age, new environment. sbp was treated and other infectious work up was negative. psychiatry was consulted and did not feel the patient had capacity. on cognitive testing he has difficulty with abstract thinking, some word finding, concentration, and memory. he denies audio or visual hallucinations, says he is thinking clearly. he seemed to be slowly improving and plan was to have psych re-eval on , however his worsening health delayed this evaluation. per his sister, he was independent and functional in all adls prior to admission. . # thrombocytopenia: likely due to etoh related bm toxicity. also has evidence of impaired hepatic synthetic dysfunction from possible cirrhosis/nash, could have splenic sequestration as well. given sc heparin as platelets were not <50. with associated renal dysfunction and anemia initial concern for ttp however hemolysis labs negative and no schistocytes on smear. platelets monitored and remained stable. . # pleural effusion: patient with left-sided pleural effusion seen on cxr. could be cirrhosis. given l-sided effusion, and history of weight loss, concern for malignant effusion. diagnostic thoracentesis performed, and drained 660cc of serous fluid, consistent with transudate. no malignant cells were seen on cytology. . # pna: the patient required oxygen support following egd on , although he was able to return to room air. cxr showed increased effusion and possible rll pna. he was already on treated with antibiotics for sbp/abscess (see above), so no additional treatment was provided. he continued to be comfortable on room air despite clinical signs of consolidation and effusion. abx was discontinued when pt made . . # anemia, macrocytic (mcv 100s-120s): likely nutritional deficiency etoh. patient was transfused 2u prbc in the er with good response. hemolysis labs were negative and no schistocytes were visualized on smear. patient was given thiamine and folate. b12 and folate level were both normal, but patient was continued on thiamine and folate supplementation. stool guaiac was negative x 3 (multiple times over course of admission). on had another hct drop and stool grossly guaiac positive. see above for gi bleed. . # transaminitis with bilirubinemia: stable, likely secondary to underlying etoh liver injury (at least fatty liver, but may have cirrhosis given elevated inr and low albumin as well) previously worsened by hypotension and hypovolemia. direct bilirubin elevated in comparison to indirect bilirubin, suggesting hepatic etiology, likely related to cirrhosis. concern was high for portal hypertension given patient's long term alcoholism. ruq ultrasound revealed evidence of fatty liver, could not rule out more extensive liver disease, including cirrhosis. ascites and sbp also present, suggesting higher likelihood of cirrhosis/etoh hepatitis. bilirubin acutely worsened off antibiotic treatment, however returned back to normal with treatment for sbp. his nutritional status led to consideration of placing a feeding tube, however given the egd results that showed friable mucosa in the esophagus and stomach, this was deferred to avoid future gib. . # acidosis, anion gap: likely combination of lactic acidosis (lactate 11.9), starvation and alcoholic ketoacidosis. lactate trended down and returned to by hd 1 with fluid resuscitation, with resolution of anion gap acidosis. also had mild respiratory alkalosis on admission which was trending down on repeat abg in the icu. . # etoh: as above, patient was given thiamine and folate. he was monitored on a ciwa scale with prn valium however he was not so this was discontinued. he has no known history of withdrawal seizures or dts. social work, pt, ot, and psychiatry were consulted and did not feel the patient had capacity to make his own decisions. additionally, they did not feel he was capable of independent living. . # depression: patient denies feeling depressed, however his sister states that he has had a significant personality change in the last 8 months or so. she believes he is drinking much more heavily and is very concerned for depression as the patient is drinking heavily, sleeping a lot, not eating well, and not leaving his house. additionally, he was found in squalor, with feces all over his home. psychiatry was consulted and does not feel he has capacity to make decisions. b12 normal, folate normal, tsh wnl. rpr negative. psych requested ct to document atrophy, but patient has refused study. had ct in showed mild bihemispheric white matter hypoattenuation predominantly in the occipital lobes, likely representing sequelae of small vessel ischemic disease. psychiatry, pt, ot, and social work do not feel he is capable of independent living. treatment of depression was deferred during treatment for sbp, as there was some thought that this could all be related to his infection. . # diarrhea: patient has persistent diarrhea, which he admits to having even at home for quite a while. c.diff negative but could have viral gastroenteritis or other community acquired bacterial infection. however, timeline does not suggest an acute infection. he states he has had diarrhea chronically. stools are formed but loose, now with blood streaks around the outside of the stool, consistent with hemorhoids. hct stable. guaiac negative, stool studies negative. patient was kept hydrated when possible and given loperamide for symptomati relief. outpatient pcp can consider work up for celiac disease or other causes of chronic diarrhea. ibd is low on the differential. no clear etiology was found, but his diarrhea self resolved. . surgical service course: ct scan performed demonstrated sigmoid diverticulosis as well as an abscess adjacent to the sigmoid colon in the pelvis. due to his persistent elevated cell count in his peritoneal fluid, his renal failure, and his overall clinical decline surgical consultation was requested for potential sigmoid colectomy. risks and benefits of sigmoid colectomy, end colostomy and hartmann procedure were discussed with the patient's sister who gave her consent to proceed. pt underwent operation on , and was then transferred to sicu. was maintained on abx, cvvh, and pressors. was unable to wean pressors, no return of renal function, poor mental status, and clinical status continued to decline. on family meeting to discuss goals of care, sister made decision to pursue comfort measures. stopped all interventions including abx, pressors, cvvh. maintained pt on morphine and versed for comfort. sister wanted to continue ventilator support as well as ivf. sister continued to request pt remain on vent. readdressed goals of care with sister on . was extubated , transferred to floor . on floor maintained on morphine gtt for comfort with intermittent ativan. morning of at 8:40 am pt expired. sister was notified by dr. . sister declined post mortem. medications on admission: none discharge

Medical Report: allergies: patient recorded as having no known allergies to drugs attending: chief complaint: palpitations major surgical or invasive procedure: pulmonary vein isolation history of present illness: the patient is a 64 year old female with a history of hypothyroidism and paroxysmal af, admitted for elective pulmonary vein isolation, transfered to the ccu following the procedure for hypotension. the patient was initially diagnosed with af in . she had origianlly presented with complaints of palpitaitons, and found to have paf on holter with rvr at 200. intially rate control strategy was pursued, but the patient had continued to have symptomatic palpitations 2-3 times per week, some episodes lasting up to 1-2 hours. the patients symptoms refractory to medical manegment with beta-blocker, and limited ability to uptitrate dose due to resting bradycardia in 40s. due to the believed inability to pursue anti-arrythmic therapy with stoalol or amioderone, and the believed limited efficicy of flecaiande in a patient resistant of chronic medications, the patient was referred for pulmonary vein isolation. . the patient underwent rfa today, and during the procedure was noted to be markedly hypotensive. she received continued ivf boluses, but sbp remained in the 70s. the patient was started on neo for pressor support. the patient had multple, large bore sheaths in bilaterally, and had difficult maintence of hemostasis following the procedure. she received 5.2l of fluid over the course of the day, and noted to have a 4pt hct drop. the patient had two femoral arterial lines, and hemostasis was difficult to achieve following sheath removal. she made 1.9l of uop during that time. the patient was weened off pressors, but is transfered to the ccu for further

Consider the following medical report that includes the patient's historical health records. Use it to predict the disease that the patient is high likely exposed to. Medical Report: history of present illness: mr. is an 85 year old male, with an unknown past medical history. he presented on as a hospital transfer from the . he was initially seen on the afternoon of with complaints of low back pain, syncope and neck pain. work-up there included plain films of the cervical spine revealing a c3 fracture and otherwise with no neurologic changes and hemodynamic stability. he initially had a relatively low hematocrit and was given two units of packed cells for a blood count of 27. it was not understood what the etiology of his dropped hematocrit was; however, he did receive an abdominal ct scan. he was called in as a possible trauma transfer for his c3 neck fracture and for further management. after being transported by ambulance here to , on , he was found to be quite unstable in the trauma bay. he had distended abdomen with absent femoral pulses. a diagnostic peritoneal lavage was done per atls protocol, revealing gross blood. he was transferred to the operating room with the presumed diagnosis of a possible retroperitoneal hemorrhage/ruptured aortic aneurysm. he underwent an exploratory laparotomy confirming a contained retroperitoneal rupture of an infrarenal abdominal aortic aneurysm. intraoperative consultation with the vascular surgeon, dr. was done. the initial surgeon was dr. with the assistance of dr. and . after the intraoperative consultation with dr. was achieved, dr. presumed the remaining care of this patient. after he had his aneurysm repaired with a bifurcated graft, he received seven liters of crystalloid, 14 units of ffp, 19 units of packed cells, two units of platelets, one unit of cryo precipitate, 10 mg of intravenous vitamin k and made approximately 120 cc of urine output, with a blood loss of 8 liters. the only specimens sent for the procedure were aortic plaque. he came out of the operating room, not on any pressors. he was obviously volume requiring. he required ongoing fluid and massive resuscitation. a pa catheter was being used to monitor and guide our therapy. over the ensuing weeks, the patient had continued complications from his ruptured aortic aneurysm repair. he went into renal failure, necessitating hemodialysis. he had continued ventilatory requirements and ultimately developed fevers. he was treated for ventilator associated pneumonia, as well as intermittent bouts of line sepsis. he ultimately got better from these issues. he continued his dialysis through subclavian or internal jugular perma-caths, which were rotated appropriately. he was tolerating tube feedings through a gastric tube and continued to do somewhat poorly over the ensuing weeks. ultimately, after a two month hospitalization, the patient continued to have failure to thrive. he required increasing ventilatory support. over the last several days of his hospitalization, in the intensive care unit, he actually had intermittent low grade temperatures and a climbing white count. he required vasopressor support. he had one event 48 hours prior to expiration where the patient had thick secretions that prompted a possible respiratory mucus plugging event that caused bradycardia and hypotension, necessitating epinephrine and atropine to recover his heart rate and blood pressure. once he recovered, he thereafter, required vasopressor support for blood pressure maintenance and a pulmonary artery catheter had been reinserted for management of his volume status, given his hemodialysis needs. given the fact that the patient had ongoing renal, pulmonary and infectious processes, nor did he completely improve to the point of not requiring intensive care unit monitoring, repeated discussions had been held with the patient's family over several week period between dr. , the intensive care unit staff and the family. ultimately, in the final meeting of , the family decided to make the patient comfort measures only. after being made comfort measures only on the afternoon of , the patient expired at 7:27 p.m. on the evening of . the family was thereafter notified and declined a post mortem examination. the medical examiner declined any kind of autopsy and, thereafter, he was appropriately pronounced and sent to the care of his family. immediate causes of death: 1. cardiac arrest. 2. respiratory failure. chief cause of death: ruptured infrarenal aortic aneurysm with postoperative renal failure and respiratory failure. , m.d. dictated by: medquist36 d: 07:48 t: 19:52 job#: procedure: continuous invasive mechanical ventilation for 96 consecutive hours or more insertion of endotracheal tube percutaneous abdominal drainage cholecystectomy temporary tracheostomy control of hemorrhage, not otherwise specified incision of vessel, lower limb arteries other repair of abdominal wall flexible sigmoidoscopy resection of vessel with replacement, aorta, abdominal resection of vessel with replacement, abdominal arteries peritoneal lavage reclosure of postoperative disruption of abdominal wall injection or infusion of oxazolidinone class of antibiotics diagnoses: acute kidney failure, unspecified unspecified septicemia disruption of internal operation (surgical) wound hemorrhage complicating a procedure closed fracture of second cervical vertebra infection and inflammatory reaction due to other vascular device, implant, and graft urinary complications, not elsewhere classified abdominal aneurysm, ruptured Answer: The patient is high likely exposed to

Consider the following medical report that includes the patient's historical health records. Use it to predict the disease that the patient is high likely exposed to. Medical Report: history of present illness: mr. is a 47-year-old male, with a past medical history significant for diabetes, hypertension, and hypercholesterolemia, who presented to an outside hospital with a chief complaint of chest pain and st elevation, consistent with an anterior myocardial infarction. at the outside institution, an lad thrombus was discovered and stented. this procedure was complicated by a right external iliac dissection which was surgically repaired. this procedure was complicated by rethrombosis of the coronary stent that was placed prior to the right iliac artery injury. he was then taken back to the cardiac cath laboratory for restenting. lower extremity angiography obtained during the time of cardiac catheterization showed that the site of the right external iliac artery reconstruction was intact. following his cardiac procedure, the patient developed an acute abdomen with abdominal distention, and a ct which suggested ischemic colitis with bleeding into the retroperitoneum and intraperitoneal space. he was transferred to this institution on a balloon pump with multiple pressors and a systolic pressure in the 70s. he subsequently became anuric secondary to prolonged hypotension. at the time of transfer, the patient had received 12 units of packed red blood cells, 2 units of ffp, 10 liters of crystalloid. past medical history: 1. hypertension. 2. diabetes mellitus. 3. hypercholesterolemia. 4. status post cva. medications: 1. glucovance. 2. avandia. 3. tricor. 4. lipitor. 5. altace. 6. aspirin. allergies: no known drug allergies. physical exam - vital signs: temperature 102.0, pulse 100, blood pressure 153/100, respiratory rate 20, oxygen saturation 100% on room air. in general, the patient was intubated, sedated, and grossly edematous. his heart was tachycardic but regular in rhythm. his lungs had decreased breath sounds bilaterally. his abdomen was extremely distended and tense to palpation. his extremities were grossly edematous. laboratory studies: white blood cell count 28, hematocrit 38, platelet count 130, potassium 6.4, bun 20, creatinine 1.1, blood sugar 325. hospital course: given the concern for retroperitoneal bleed, coagulopathy, cardiac shock, and ischemia, he was promptly seen by the surgical service for evaluation. the patient had elevated bladder pressures at 50, but given his overall clinical picture, it was agreed that he should be optimized from a coagulopathy and hemodynamic standpoint before undergoing exploratory laparotomy. the patient was admitted to the coronary care unit and was followed closely with regards to his elevated bladder pressure. he was started on broad-spectrum antibiotics including vancomycin, levofloxacin, and metronidazole for the concern of bacterial transmigration secondary to ischemic colitis. on hospital day #2, after the patient was having progressive fevers with a concern for abdominal perforation, he was taken to the operating room for an exploratory laparotomy. the estimated blood loss for the procedure was 1,000 cc. intraoperatively, he received 3,000 cc of crystalloid, 2 units of packed red blood cells, 2 units of ffp, and 6 packs of platelets. there was no clot found intraoperatively; however, there was 2 liters of blood present. the bowel was viable with a normal appendix, and there was no evidence of bleeding at the site of the external iliac repair. the patient's intra-aortic balloon pump was removed on hospital day #3. on hospital day #4, the patient was started on tpn. on hospital day #5, the patient was taken back to the operating room where the abdomen was re-explored and closed. he tolerated this procedure well and was discharged to the cardiac surgery recovery unit, after the delayed abdominal closure for abdominal compartment syndrome was performed. the patient did well postoperatively and continued to make urine on his own. he was off pressors by postoperative days #7 and #4, and was receiving tpn for parenteral nutrition. the patient was transitioned from tpn to tube feedings on postoperative days #8 and #5. on postoperative days #9 and #6, the patient was extubated. he was transferred to the floor on postoperative days #11 and #8. at this time, he had sputum cultures which grew coag-positive staph and pseudomonas, and he was therefore treated with ceftazidime and vancomycin. he was advanced to a regular diet on postoperative days #12 and #9. at this time, he was ambulating with the assistance of physical therapy. the patient did have some ongoing tachypnea above his baseline. a blood gas was performed which demonstrated a significant aa gradient. a ct of the chest was done to assess for pe. there was a large clot found at the origin of the right pulmonary artery. he was, therefore, treated with a heparin drip with a goal inr of 2.0-2.3. given his marked tachypnea, the patient was transferred back to the intensive care unit on postoperative days #13 and #10 for closer monitoring. he was then transferred back to the floor on postoperative days #14 and #11, after having an uneventful icu course. at this time, the patient was ambulating independently and was tolerating a regular diet. he was maintained on his heparin drip until he was therapeutic with his coumadin, and was eventually discharged to rehab in good condition. discharge condition: good. discharge disposition: the patient was discharged to rehab. discharge diagnoses: 1. diabetes mellitus. 2. coronary artery disease. 3. status post cerebrovascular accident. 4. acute myocardial infarction. 5. status post exploratory laparotomy for abdominal compartment syndrome. 6. mechanical ventilation. 7. right pulmonary artery embolus. 8. oliguria. 9. parenteral nutrition requirement. discharge medications: 1. aspirin 325 mg po qd. 2. captopril 6.25 mg po tid. 3. plavix 75 mg po qd. 4. colace 100 mg po bid. 5. coumadin 5 mg po q hs with a goal inr between 2.0 and 3.0. 6. regular insulin sliding scale, as instructed. 7. lopressor 25 mg po bid. 8. protonix 40 mg po qd. follow-up plans: the patient will be transferred to a rehab facility in the state of where he is from. he will be following up with his primary care physician at that time. he was instructed to follow-up with dr. if he has any other questions or concerns. his staples were removed prior to discharge. , m.d. dictated by: medquist36 procedure: continuous invasive mechanical ventilation for 96 consecutive hours or more parenteral infusion of concentrated nutritional substances enteral infusion of concentrated nutritional substances other laparotomy nonoperative removal of heart assist system suture of peritoneum diagnoses: acute myocardial infarction of other anterior wall, initial episode of care hematoma complicating a procedure defibrination syndrome pneumonia due to pseudomonas pneumonia due to staphylococcus, unspecified cardiogenic shock iatrogenic pulmonary embolism and infarction other early complications of trauma Answer: The patient is high likely exposed to

centered in the right frontal lobe, with edematous/hemorrhagic appearance of the adjacent left frontal lobe with surrounding edema. this pattern is concerning for amyloid angiopathy and/or underlying mass/vascular cause. recommend mr imaging following resolution of acute hemorrhage for further characterization if not contra-indicated. 2. surrounding vasogenic and diffuse cerebral edema, causing right ventricular compression and 3-mm leftward shift. 3. diffuse intraventricular hemorrhage, predisposes to obstructive hydrocephalus, though comparison to prior imaging is requested. ct head post evd: 1. right frontal evd terminates beyond the foramen of at the anterior part of the third ventricle. 2. otherwise, no change from the prior exams. 3. no new hemorrhage or evidence of hydrocephalus, over 14 hour interval mri with and without contrast impression: heterogenous contrast enhancement of the mass in the splenium of the corpus callosum, substantiating the presumed diagnosis of a butterfly glioma with secondary hemorrhage. ct head 1. stable appearance of right frontal-approach ventriculostomy catheter with its tip in the region of the foramen of . 2. mass effacing the right

hemorrhage or evidence of acute large vascular territorial infarction. ct head: no change from previous scan. lens no evidence of bilateral lower extremity dvt. brief hospital course: mr. was admitted to the icu for q1 hour neurochecks and systolic blood pressure control less than 140 in the setting of intraventricular hemorrhage and hydrocephalus. his exam remained stable overnight however during the day on he became more lethargic. stat head ct demonstrated progressive hydrocephalus and an external ventricular drain was placed at the icu beside. he tolerated the procedure well. post procedure ct head demonstrated catheter within the right lateral ventricle terminating within the 3rd ventricle without new hemorrhage. mri with contrast was completed on which demonstrated a enhancing mass within the splenium of the corpus callosum. overnight, pt had pulled his evd. subsequently, a right evd was replaced in routine fashion without complication at the bedside. post procedure ct scan showed a r evd placement without new hemorrhages or infarct. on the patient was noted to be more lucid during the am hours. there were episodes of right arm tremors which were thought to possibly be focal seizures. his dilantin level was 11 so he was given a bolus with a goal in the upper teens. in the afternoon he was brought to the or for a stereotactic biopsy. postoperativel he remained neurologically stable. post-op ct head on showed no new hemorrhage. pt remained over the next 2 days with a fluctuating neurological exam. head ct on demonstrated stable ventricular size without evidence of new hemorrhage. his mental status began to improve and so on he was transferred out of the icu to the step down unit and an evd wean was inititated, the drain was raised to 20cm above the tragus. icps remained stable and evd output diminished. on the patient's mental status continued to improve: the patient was aox3 and he was retelling complex jokes. evd was further challenged and raised to 25cm above the tragus. a ct head was done in the am of and was stable. the drain was clamped. he had some elevated icp's to the 30's but this was when he was oob. a ct head was done on and showed no change in ventricular size. his evd was removed without complication. his exam remained stable. he was seen and evaluated by physical therapy and occupational therapy and it was recommended that he be discharged to rehab. clamping trials with the foley catheter were initiated but unsuccessful. on he was transferred to the floor and continued to await transfer to rehab. a decadron wean was initiated. dr. continued to follow the patient as well. pt now has a schedule treatment plan. he is set for discharge to rehab and will follow-up accordingly. medications on admission: flomax 0.4

cirrhosis. a focal contour abnormality within the left liver lobe measuring approximately 2.2 x 1.4 x 2.2 cm is slightly hypoechoic compared with background, with mild increased through transmission, but no internal vascularity. there is no intrahepatic biliary ductal dilatation. multiple calcified gallstones are seen within a normal- appearing gallbladder. the spleen is enlarged at 13.8 cm. . egd (): esophagus: a sliding small size hiatal hernia was seen. localized friability of the mucosa with no bleeding was noted in the lower third of the esophagus. these findings are compatible with mild reflux. stomach: normal. duodenum: normal. . echo (): 1. the left atrium is moderately dilated. 2. there is mild symmetric left ventricular hypertrophy with normal cavity size and systolic function (lvef>55%). regional left ventricular wall motion is normal. 3. the aortic valve leaflets are severely thickened/deformed. there is moderate aortic valve stenosis (area 0.8-1.19cm2). mild (1+) aortic regurgitation is seen. 4. the mitral valve leaflets are mildly thickened. there is severe mitral annular calcification. there is a minimally increased gradient consistent with trivial mitral stenosis. mild (1+) mitral regurgitation is seen. 5. there is mild pulmonary artery systolic hypertension. . ct abd/pelvis (): nodular, cirrhotic liver. within the left lobe, there is a heterogeneous, hyperenhancing area with contour abnormality measuring approximately 7.8 x 5.5 cm. this area is somewhat ill-defined and fills the majority of the anterior aspect of the left lobe of the liver. in the region described on outside mri at the dome of the liver anterior to the inferior vena cava, no focal mass lesion is identified. given the findings within the left lobe of the liver, multiphasic ct may be used in three to six months to assess for stability. alternatively, this area is amenable to percutaneous biopsy if clinically indicated. splenomegaly. gallstone is identified. trace ascites. large varices are noted predominantly within the pelvis about the rectum. . liver u/s () preliminary report: cirrhosis. there is expansion of the left hepatic lobe, consistent with recent cta findings, though no focal lesion is identified. there is no intra- or extra- hepatic biliary ductal dilatation. cholelithiasis is again noted. mild galbladder wall thickening likely represents edema from cirrhosis/portal hypertension. the main portal vein now demsontrates hepatofugal flow, new since . splenomegaly and moderate perihepatic ascites are also consistent with portal hypertension. . cxr (): mild cardiomegaly, mild pulmonary vascular congestion. . brief hospital course: a/p: 67 yo f with cirrhosis thought secondary to nash, aortic stenosis, admitted with hypotension and worsening hepatic function from baseline with hyperbilirubinemia, elevated inr, hepatofugal flow on abd u/s, called out from micu after returning to sbps consistently >100. . # decompensated esld: patient with baseline esld that acutely worsened, likely secondar to intrahepatic cholestasis of sepsis.patient had therapeutic tap early in course which was negative for cnna or sbp. patient was seen by liver transplant team and was considered not to be a candidate for liver transplant due to her many comorbidities. bilirubin rose acutely in last week of admission as high as 25 before ceasing to check labs. patient became progressively more encephalopathic. this was likely secondary to her hepatic failure as well as her increasing pain medication requirement. palliative care team was consulted in setting of worsening liver failure, acute renal failure, bacteremia and altered mental status. after meeting with her family, they decided to withdraw any aggressive measure and treat her for comfort only. the patient expired on at 6:14pm. . # acute renal failure: patient renal function was initially thought to be secondary to renal hypoperfusion. it was difficult to provide fluid resuscitation as patient was in acute congestive heart failure and fluid boluses worsened her pulmonary function. she was given albumin without improvement. after she developed cellulitis and bacteremia, patient's renal function acutely worsened likely secondary to sepsis and she was then treated with comfort measures only . # aortic stenosis: patient had bileaflet valve which resulted in critical aortic stenosis. this resulted in congestive heart failure and significant lower extremity edema which was difficult to manage due to her preload dependence. patient was evaluated by cardiothoracic surgery and it was felt that she would require dual surgery with liver transplant and valve replacement. however, as patient was not considered a candidate for liver transplant, her risk of valve replacement was felt to be too great. . # left lower extremity cellulitis: in last week of life, patient developed cellulitis and team began empiric treatment as patient had history of mrsa in the past. one of two bottles grew coag neg staph. patient was initially dosed per level. however, as patient continued to decline, palliative care was consulted and the decision was made to provide comfort measures only. . # anemia: patient likely had slow bleed as she was guaiac positive and her hematocrit trended down slowly each day. she did not respond appropriately to blood transfusions as well. however as

was performed which showed an ef=15-20%; he was also found to be in afib/aflutter (?new); diltiazem gtt was started for rate control. his hematocrit decreased through the hospitalization. his cardiomyopathy was felt to be new and perhaps secondary to uncontrolled atrial fibrilation. his creatinine was also found to be rising throughout hospitalization (cri with cr=2.0, peak of 5.4). he also developed delta ms, and was subsequently found to be hypercarbic with subsequent bipap initiation. on hd #6 @ osh, his wbc increased to 37, tmax was 100.3, and he was subsequently started on broad spectrum abx (vanco/zosyn - 1st day ?). on the night of , he was transiently hypotensive (sbp to 60s, duration unknown), and he was intubated at this time for hypercapneic respiratory failure. he was transferred to the icu at this time. he then became hypotensive in the icu, again with sbp in 60s, and was started on phenylephrine and dopamine at this time. an intraabdominal source of

pertinent labs/studies: . labs/studies: . : portable chest - impression: bilateral pleural effusions with associated atelectasis. an underlying pneumonic process cannot be excluded in the left lower lobe. . : echo - the left atrium is mildly dilated. the inferior vena cava is dilated (>2.5 cm). left ventricular wall thicknesses are normal. the left ventricular cavity is moderately dilated. overall left ventricular systolic function is moderately-to-severely depressed (ejection fraction 30 percent) secondary to severe hypokinesis of the entire interventricular septum; the inferior and posterior walls are hyperdynamic. no masses or thrombi are seen in the left ventricle. there is no ventricular septal defect. right ventricular chamber size and free wall motion are normal. the aortic root is moderately dilated. 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 pericardial effusion. . : picc placement - impression: malpositioned picc terminating in the right subclavian vein. contra-abnormalities in the region of the azygos vein may represent mass, lymphadopathy, or prominence of the azygos vein due to vascular congestion. no change in interstitial edema or left lower lobe consolidation/collapse. . : the endotracheal tube is being removed. the heart is enlarged. bilateral effusions are present, larger on the left than the right. left hemidiaphragm is not obscured and a consolidation and/or atelectasis in left lower lobe is not excluded. there is some pulmonary plethora consistent with failure. impression: some evidence of failure with bilateral effusions. . : portable abdomen - two upright views of the abdomen: the study is incredibly limited by patient body habitus. the abdominal structures appear uniformally white. this study is nondiagnostic. . : p-mibi - interpretation: this 59 yo diabetic male with a h/o cad & chf was referred to the lab for evaluation of new wma. the patient was infused with 0.142 mg/kg/min of iv persantine over 4 minutes. the patient denied any arm, neck, back or chest discomfort throughout the study. there were no significant st segment changes noted beyond baseline. the rhythm was atrial flutter with rare vpb's. there was an appropriate blood pressure response; heart rate response was flat. persantine was reversed with 125 mg of iv aminophylline. impression: no ekg changes from baseline in the absence of anginal symptoms. nuclear report sent separately. .

significant for cad, dm, htn, ckd, morbid obesity, enterocutaneous fistula s/p gunshout wound to abdomen, hx of dvt and gi bleed who is transferred to from osh after initally presenting with shortness of breath, found to be in afib/flutter with rvr and echocardiogram demonstrating new cardiomyopathy. hospital course at outside hostpial complicated by acute on chronic renal failure, drifting hct, hypercarbic respiratory failure and hypotension requiring intubation and pressor support as well as leukocytosis with suspicion at outside hospital for intraabdominal process. . #. shock: the patient's shock was thought likely to be multifactorial. patient on presentation was known to have new systolic heart failure with echo as recent as revealing an ef of 50%. additionally however the patient presented with significant leukocytosis concerning for septic etiology. the patient on presentation was noted to have an enterocutaneous fistual (present for 1 to 2 years) raising suspicion potentially for an intraabdominal source of infection. unfortunately a ct scan was not possible given the patient's body habitus. there was additional concern for a lll pna and patient's stool samples were positive for c. diff. the patient's blood cultures were negative at hospital and all blood cultures drawn this admission are similarly negative. upon transfer from outside hospital pressors were discontinued and the patient was extubated 3 days after admission to the icu. although there was suspicion for a lll pna, no definite source was identifiable. the patient received a 10 day course of empiric therapy with zosyn and vancomycin. given + c. diff in stool, the patient has also been treated with a 14 day course of po flagyl for c. diff infection with conversion to c. diff toxin negative stool since treatment. the patient has since significantly improved clinically with resolving leukocytosis, which is presumed to have been from his c. diff infection. on admission the patient had a white count of 20.8 with peak value of 29.4. with regards to his cardiac depression the patient had an echocardiogram performed on admission to evaluate for cardiogenic shock. echo revealed moderately to severely depressed lv function (ef 30 percent) secondary to severe hypokinesis of the entire interventricular septum with hyperdynamic inferior and posterior walls. although echo reports are not available for review, the patient's notes report that echocardiograms were performed in showing at that time an ef 55% without any wall motion abnormalities. repeat echo in was reported to demonstrate a decrease in ef from 40 to 50% with anteroseptal hypokinesis. given concern for an ischemic cardiomyopathy the patient underwent a p-mibi this admission. unfortunately interpretation of nuclear imaging was again extremely limited secondary to the patient's body size. no ecg changes from baseline were seen with infusion of persantine and the patient experienced no anginal symptoms. limited nuclear images revealed likely that the left ventricular cavity size was normal. resting and stress perfusion images additionally revealed decreased tracer activity in the inferior wall with no definite reversibilty with gated images revealing akinesis of the inferior wall. in sum the study was thought to demonstrate a fixed inferior wall defect with regional abnormal wall motion. . # respiratory failure: as above, the patient developed hypercarbic respiratory failure, likely in the setting of sepsis as well as possibly failure given afib with rvr, requiring intubation on . the patient developed fluid overload by radiographs while intubated in the setting of sepsis physiology as well as volume resuscitation . the patient was successfully extubated on . the patient was diuresed with what was reported to be his outpatient regimen of lasix and zaroxyln post-extbuation given evidence for mild failure. the patient's respiratory distress has since completely resolved, but the patient experienced a creatinine bump in the setting of diuresis. given rise in creatinine from 2.0 to 2.9 diuretics were held. the patient's creatinine remained elevated and urine lytes on few occasions demonstrated a prerenal etiology. given this, the patient was actually given fluids back and his outpatient diuretics have continued to be held. given this dramatic response to what is reported to be his outpatient regimen there is some question if the patient is compliant with this regimen as an outpatient. the patient has mild le edema on discharge but continues to breath comfortably with excellent o2 sats on room air. given this, the patient will be discharged without his outpatient diuretics but instructions to follow up closely with his pcp. patient's creatinine has since corrected and he is being discharged without iv fluids or diuretics. . # afib/flutter: upon transfer from outside hospital the patient was known to be in afib/flutter, initially requiring dilt gtt. the patient was subsequently transitioned to po diltizem and lopressor with improved rate control and heart rate ranging 75-100 upon transfer to the floor. echocardiogram demonstrated as well mild la enlargement. as above, the patient in transfer was initially volume overloaded. the patient was continued on maximum dose long acting metoprolol xl 200 and diltiazem 240 qd. his hr remained in 60-80 without any pauses. the patient was continued on digoxin with a normal therapeutic level. the patient continued to receive with coumadin. in the setting of medical therapy, the patient's inr was temporarily supratherapeutic to a level as high as 8.4. the patient was without evidence of acute bleeding and his coumadin was held. the patient received 2mg sq vitamin k for partial reversal and the patient's inr was otherwise allowed to drift to therapeutic range. once at 3.0, coumadin therapy was reinitiated at the patient's reported outpatient dose of 5mg po qhs. however, the patient again became rapidly supratherapeutic with inr to 5.8. the patient's most recent inr is 4.0 after having again received 2mg vitamin k. the patient's coumadin has since been held. on transfer it is recommended that the patient have daily inr checked until he is on a stable dose of coumadin. given supratherapuetic inr twice with 5mg po qhs, it would be recommend to start at a lower dose of 2.5mg po qhs once inr approaches 2.0 and titrate as needed. . # chf - as above, the patient was found this admission to have an ef of 30% by echocardiogram with severe hypokinesis of the entire interventricular septum and hyperdynamic inferior and posterior walls. a very limited p-mibi however demonstrated a fixed inferior wall defect with akinesis of the inferior wall. as an outpatient the patient is maintained on a heart failure regimen of digoxin 125mcg qd, lasix 40mg po bid, and metolazone. in the icu the patient's outpatient lasix and metolazone were reinstated given volume overload. given depressed ef the patient would benefit from an ace. however, the patient's creatinine was thought to be limiting for which therapy with isordil and hydralazine was started to effect pre-load and afterload reduction respectively for the patient's depressed ef. as above, the patient's creatinine was noted to begin to rise with fena suggestive of a pre-renal etiology. the patient's diuretics were held and the patient actually required iv fluids to attempt to normalize his creatinine. on admission it was also unknown for how long the patient had been in afib/flutter without rate control suggesting additional possible etiology of tachyarryhtmia associated cardiomyopathy. with adequate rate control currently the patient should have follow up echo in a few months to evaluate for interval improvement in lv function. the patient is being discharged without iv fluids or standing diuretics but should have his volume status assessed clinically and chem-7 drawn at least twice weekly. . # cad: throughout his hospital course the patient was asymptomatic without any anginal symptoms. there was no indication of active ischemia on ekg. as above, given depressed ef, decreased from previous, as well as wall motion abnromalities the patient underwent a persantine mibi. in this very limited study secondary to patient's body habitus, no reversible ischemia was visualized, only a fixed inferior defect. the patient was continued on asa, lipitor 40, metoprolol xl. . # acute on ckd: on admission the patient had a creatinine of 3.0, thought likely to be secondary to atn in the setting of hypotension and sepsis. the patient's baseline creatinine is reported to be near 2.0. on presentation the patient had a fena of 0.9% supporting a pre-renal etiology. with resolution of sepsis the patient's urine output began to improve and the patient's creatinine began to normalize. however, in the setting of reinstating diuretics the patient again demonstrated a rise in creatinine to near 3.0 again with fena/urea suggesting volume depletion. despite discontinuing therapy with diuretics the patient's creatinine continued to remain elevated with decreased urine output. the patient required a number of ns boluses and was given iv fluids back with monitoring of his edema and pulmonary status given his depressed ef. the patient's creatinine has since returned to near baseline, although is mildy increased at 2.4. the patient appears relatively euvolemic on exam. however, it is suspected that given his limited mobility currently, the patient has had limited access to fluids. the patient should receive encouragement and access to fluids and may benefit from iv fluids if his creatinine is > 1.4. . # h/o dvt: the patient has a history of dvt 8yrs ago but still on coumadin per pcp. is currently being continued given afib. no le us were performed during this admission. . # anemia: the patient had guaiac + stools while in house without any brbp ostomy or melena to suggest any large volume bleeding. per reports the patient has a baseline hct of 25-30, with a microcytic anemia. iron binding studies were within normal limits although the patient's ferritin levels were at the lower limits of normal. there was no evidence for hemolysis and the patient demonstrated a normal reticulocyte count. the patient's hct was stable throughout the hospital course with admission hct of 28.7 and most recent hct of 29.0. it is recommended on discharge that patient have ongoing evaluation as an outpatient with endoscopy. . # dm: the patient was started on glargine 36 (outpatient regimen reported to be 40bid) with poor glycemic control. the patient's glargine was up titrated throughout his admission to most recently 44 units qam and 36 units qpm with addition of

Consider the following medical report that includes the patient's historical health records. Use it to predict the disease that the patient is high likely exposed to. Medical Report: history of present illness: this is a now over 24 hour old, 3655 gm birth weight infant born to a 28 year old gravida 3 para mom. . prenatal screens o positive, antibody negative, rubella immune, rpr nonreactive, hepatitis b surface antigen negative, gbs positive. rupture of membranes four hours prior to delivery. in addition to group b strep positive status, perinatal history was remarkable for maternal temperature of 99.1 prior to delivery and 102.4 immediately following delivery. iv clindamycin times two doses was given intrapartum. the infant was born via precipitous spontaneous vaginal delivery. this was pitocin augmented labor. apgars were 9 and 9 at one and five minutes respectively. neonatal staff was called to the labor and delivery room for evaluation of the infant at 45 minutes of life due to grunting. the infant was transferred to the nicu for further management. physical examination: on admission this was a full term, nondysmorphic appearing infant who was grunting and retracting in mild respiratory distress. extremities were pink and well perfused. there was no rash or petechiae. anterior fontanelle was flat. breath sounds were clear. respiratory rate was in the 60s. oxygen saturation was 97% to 98% in room air. the grunting did resolve with time in the nicu. cardiac exam revealed normal s1, s2 without murmurs. abdomen was soft. there were no masses, no hepatosplenomegaly. anus was patent. mucous membranes were moist. there was normal tone and activity with normal reflexes. hospital course: 1. respiratory. initial impression was respiratory distress. surfactant was not given. chest x-ray was not obtained. the infant was aerating reasonably well soon after arrival to the nicu, but did require supplemental oxygen via nasal cannula for the first seven to eight hours of life. there was intermittent tachypnea with retractions noted during this time. she has now been stable in room air for ~24 hours. 2. cardiovascular. the infant was well perfused throughout the hospital stay and had no murmurs at the time of transfer to the newborn nursery. 3. fluids, electrolytes and nutrition. the infant was started on ad lib feeding with enfamil or mother's milk. the infant has taken approximately 70 cc per kg per day in an ad lib fashion over the past 24 hours which is a reasonable intake for this infant. 4. gi. the infant is voiding and stooling and has a soft abdomen with a nonfocal exam. 5. hematology. the infant had hematocrit at birth of 46.7 with platelet count of 262 with no other issues. she does appear slightly jaundiced this morning. 6. infection. the infant had a white count on admission of 7.1 with differential of 30% polys, 12% bands, 41% lymphocytes. ampicillin and gentamicin were started. there were several risk factors for sepsis. the fact that the infant looked well after delivery, but then proceeded to develop tachypnea and grunting with oxygen requirement that lasted for a few hours, is suggestive of possible partially treated sepsis. this is especially evident in light of maternal pretreatment with clindamycin. the left shift in cbc also raises our suspicion for sepsis. based on these circumstances, we elected to treat the infant with a seven day course of intravenous ampicillin and gentamicin. lumbar puncture was obtained prior to transfer to the newborn nursery which was productive of clear yellowish fluid. the cell count and differential are pending from that study. 7. neurologic. the infant has had a nonfocal neurologic exam. she is feeding well and is appropriate at the time of discharge. condition on discharge: stable. disposition: to newborn nursery. primary pediatrician: . care recommendations: 1. feedings: feeds at transfer are ad lib p.o. feeding. 2. medications: the infant is receiving ampicillin 500 mg iv b.i.d. and gentamicin 4.5 mg iv daily to complete a 7 day course. she will need gent levels. 3. state newborn screening status: newborn screening labs have not been sent as yet. 4. immunizations received to date: none. the infant needs to receive hepatitis b vaccination. transfer diagnoses: 1. respiratory distress, resolved. 2. presumed sepsis on ampicillin and gentamicin. , m.d. dictated by: medquist36 procedure: spinal tap incision of lung prophylactic administration of vaccine against other diseases diagnoses: need for prophylactic vaccination and inoculation against viral hepatitis unspecified septicemia single liveborn, born in hospital, delivered without mention of cesarean section Answer: The patient is high likely exposed to

car. partially recalls events. no definite loss of consciousness. the patient was walking at the scene with assistance. initially she complained of chest pain where the seat belt was. on presentation her vital signs were temperature of 98.8, heart rate 88, blood pressure 107/66, sats 99% on 2 liters nasal cannula, respiratory rate 18. past medical history: hypertension. fibromyalgia. status post c5-c6 discectomy after previous motor vehicle crash with small bowel repair. status post hysterectomy. bilateral mammoplasty. medications on admission: fentanyl 25 mcg patch every 72 hours, aspirin, prilosec 20 q.day, prozac 60 q.day, nortriptyline 50 q.h.s., klonopin 1.5 mg q.h.s. allergies: penicillin causes hives. physical examination: on presentation she was alert, awake and oriented. pupils

and progressive gaseous contents of a large right infrahilar phlegmon, probably an abscess, and larger air and fluid loculations in the dependent right pleural space, are indirect but strong indications of active connections between the lungs or airway and the pleurae, even though a discrete connection from the lower lobe bronchial stump is not visible. the findings of peripheral alveolitis in the left lung conform to 'spillover' pneumonitis seen in such circumstances. dr. was paged to discuss these findings, at the time of dictation. 2. right middle lobe bronchus is still obliterated. 3. severe coronary artery calcification and possible aortic valvular stenosis. . ct guided drainage : ct-guided placement of 10 french pigtail catheter into the right complex pleural air/fluid collection. requested laboratory analysis pending . cardiac echo : the left atrium is elongated. left ventricular wall thicknesses and cavity size are normal. due to suboptimal technical quality, a focal wall motion abnormality cannot be fully excluded. overall left ventricular systolic function is normal (lvef 55-65%). the number of aortic valve leaflets cannot be determined. no aortic regurgitation is seen. the mitral valve leaflets are structurally normal. no mitral regurgitation is seen. the pulmonary artery systolic pressure could not be determined. there is no pericardial effusion. . fluoro for hd catheter: successful placement of a tunneled hemodialysis access catheter through the left internal jugular vein approach. the distal tip is located in the right atrium and the proximal lumen at the svc/right atrial junction. the catheter is ready for use. . cxr: : compared to the previous radiograph, the patient has received a new hemodialysis catheter over a left-sided approach. the course of the catheter is unremarkable, the tip of the catheter projects over the right atrium. otherwise, there is no relevant change. unchanged size of the cardiac silhouette. unchanged mild fluid overload. unchanged elevation of the right hemidiaphragm with a mild-to-moderate right pleural effusion. focal parenchymal opacities have newly occurred. . cxr: findings: monitoring and supporting devices are in standard position. moderate right pleural effusion and small left pleural effusions associated with adjacent lung atelectasis and bilateral pulmonary vascular congestions is unchanged. cardiomediastinal silhouette is stable. no new interval changes in the lung. . lenis: impression: no right or left lower extremity dvt. . 8:42 am bronchoalveolar

service in the emergency room and scans were reviewed. his chest ct showed a large collection of fluid and air in the right pleural space along with pneumonitis and his wbc was 21k. he was admitted to the hospital and placed on broad spectrum antibiotics. . on he underwent a bronchoscopy to r/o bronchopleural fistula. there was no visualization of a bpf but the stump was poorly visualized. he subsequently had a pigtail catheter placed in his right pleural space for drainage but did not improve. his oxygen requirements increased and he eventually was intubated and transferred to the icu. he was taken to the operating room on and underwent a bronchoscopy, and right thoracotomy, right middle lobectomy with intercostal muscle flap buttress and decortication for a bronchopleural fistula and empyema. he tolerated the procedure well but required aggressive fluid resuscitation and pressors to maintain stable hemodynamics. . his post op course was complicated by prolonged intubation and acute kidney injury requiring cvvh on with a high creatinine of 6.4 and eventually hemodialysis. his kidney function recovered a bit after 4 days to a creatinine of 2.5 but unfortunately it was short lived and hemodialysis was restarted and continues. he had a tunnelled line placed on via the left ij and undergoes dialysis every monday, wednesday and friday. . from a pulmonary standpoint, he was finally weaned and extubated on and currently undergoes vigorous pulmonary toilet and is able to cough up his secretions. his chest tubes were removed 10 days post op and all of his intraop cultures were negative. his incision sites are healing well. he still uses 1.5-2l nasal cannula oxygen to maintain saturations > 90%. . the speech and swallow service assessed him on multiple occasions and felt that he was a high aspiration risk due to his occasional lethargy. his nutrition requirements are currently given thru an ng tube (dobhoff) as well as through oral thin liquid and puree solid feeds. tube feeds will be stopped when nutrition requirements are met solely via an oral route. . the patient continues on hemodialysis for improvement of the acute kidney injury he sustained as above. creatinine is downtrending nicely. . the patient will receive 6 days of ciprofloxacin to cover a possible urinary tract infection, although to date, urine culture remains ngtd, the patient is afebrile, and white count continues downtrending. medications on admission: 1. simvastatin 40 mg tablet sig: one (1) tablet po daily. 2. aspirin 81 mg tablet, chewable sig 1 tab po daily 3. amlodipine

Consider the following medical report that includes the patient's historical health records. Use it to predict the disease that the patient is high likely exposed to. Medical Report: allergies: penicillins attending: chief complaint: tachycardia, hypotension, altered mental status major surgical or invasive procedure: mediastinoscopy, lymph node biopsy history of present illness: 83 y/o man with pmh significant for type 2 dm, chf, first degree av block, and recent 2 month illness characterized by weight loss and failure to thrive who was admitted through the ed on sepsis protocol. pt was recently admitted to from through with failure to thrive. at that time, he was evaluated for a possible malignancy given the presence of widspread lymphadenopathy. bone marrow biopsy was done which was consistent with a possible myeloproliferative disorder. interventional pulmonary then did a bal and tbna on which was nondiagnostic without malignant cells. therefor, the pt was scheduled for a mediastinoscopy with thoracic surgery but has not yet received this procedure. during this admission, the pt was also treated for possible sepsis since he had hypotension with a sbp in the 80s and an elevated wbc count of 23 on admission. he was treated emperically with vancomycin and aztreonam. these were then discontinued as his wbc count decreased but he was continued on stress dose steroids. pt was discharged to rehab on . . pt did fairly well at rehab until when per report he suffered a fall. pt was apparently not injured but this morning he was unresponsive and wouldn't follow commands. the pt's wife reported that he hadn't had any new complaints over the past few days. it is unclear what occurred during the course of the day at the nursing home and further information will need to be obtained. however, at 6:00 pm he was noted to be pale and diaphoretic with a temperature of 102.8 and bp of 100/50. he was transported to the ed for further evaluation. . in the , pt's vs were 104, tachycardia to the 140s, and hypotensive to the 90s/50s. he was intubated for altered mental status. pt was then placed on the sepsis protocol. he received vancomycin, levofloxacin, and flagyl in addition to stress dose steroids. the pt also received three liters of normal saline. pt was then admitted to the for further care. past medical history: 1. asymptomatic av dissociation and bradycardia s/p sigma 300 dr placement . first degree av block. last echo w/ ef >55%, diastolic dysfunction. holter : sr w/ moderate pr prolongation, aea w/ runs of atrial tachycardia, 2 beat run of vt 2. type 2 diabetes mellitus 3. benign prostatic hypertrophy s/p turp-- path w/ prostate ca 3+3 = 6 4. status post left total knee replacement in . 5. status post right total hip replacement in . 6. diverticulosis with colonic polyp (c-scope ). 7. lower gastrointestinal bleed 8. recent circumcision for balontitis 9. rheumatoid arthritis on prednisone (received outpatient steroid injection 1 week prior to admission) 10. psudogout on colchicine 11. (?) cirrhosis (consistent findings on recent ultrasound, but not seen on ct abdomen ) social history: the patient lives with his wife in corner. father of two children, one in the local area (). worked in auto mechanics for many years, now retired. previous history of heavy smoking (quit 40 years ago). drinks about 1 beer/week. no history of other drug use. family history: non-contributory

pulmonary vascular markings are somewhat indistinct but without frank pulmonary edema. an endotracheal tube is seen with its tip just proximal to the carina. an ng tube is seen with its tip in the stomach. there is a right ij central venous catheter with its tip in the distal svc. no pneumothorax is seen on this supine radiograph. impression: low lung volumes. lines and tubes in satisfactory position. non-contrast head ct: findings: there is no intra- or extra-axial hemorrhage, mass effect, or shift of normally midline structures. the -white matter differentiation is preserved. low attenuation within the periventricular white matter is consistent with small vessel infarction. there is mild mucosal thickening within the left maxillary sinus. remaining paranasal sinuses and mastoid air cells are appropriately aerated. there is no evidence of fracture. impression: 1. no intra- or extra-axial hemorrhage. 2. no major vascular territorial infarction. cxr: chest x-ray, portable ap: comparison made to prior study of one day earlier. a right internal jugular central venous line is unchanged in position with tip in the mid superior vena cava. the et tube has been removed. the cardiomediastinal silhouette is stable. increased interstitial markings are noted bilaterally. no infiltrates are present. impression: slighty increased interstial pulmonary edema. head cta: findings: the early arterial enhancement phase of this cta may be suboptimal for the detection of intracranial masses. the noncontrast images of the head are degraded by motion. as presented, there is no change from the prior day. there is no intracranial hemorrhage, abnormal extraaxial fluid collection, mass effect or midline shift. the ventricles are unchanged in configuration. low attenuation in the periventricular white matter remains similar in appearance. the -white matter interface is preserved. no enhancing intracranial lesion is detected. the major tributaries of the circle of appear patent, without significant stenosis or aneurysmal dilatation. no arteriovenous malformation is detected. impression: no intracranial mass is identified. see note above re: cta technique relating to mass lesion detection. ruq u/s: findings: the liver is markedly heterogenous, with predominantly increased echogenicity with multiple focal areas of decreased echogenicity, which appears to be increased in number and size compared to the prior study. common bile duct is not dilated. there is no evidence of intrahepatic ductal dilatation. gallbladder is mildly dilated, with sludges. spleen measures 15 cm. the previously noted multiple nodules in the spleen could not be well demonstrated on the present study, in this patient who could not hold the breath. note is made of ascites. impression: 1. markedly heterogenous echotexture of the liver, with multiple small hypodense areas, the largest one in the right lobe measuring 2.5 cm, which appears to be increased in size and number compared to the prior ct study. the findings probably represent microabscess, or hepatic involvement of malignancy such as lymphoma. please correlate clinically. 2. splenomegaly. prior noted splenic lesions are not well demonstrated on the present study. 3. ascites. brief hospital course: in the , mr. was suspected of being septic, with fever to 104f, mental status changes, hypotension, and leukocytosis with left-shift. he was intubated and placed on the sepsis protocol, and was placed on vancomycin, flagyl, cefepime, and acyclovir. the latter was added due to hsv-like cytopathic effects seen on bal. cefepime switched to ceftriaxone on id recommendations on . no evidence of pna on cxr. ua normal with no growth on ucx. blood cultures had no growth on bacterial cultures, and preliminarily no growth on fungal or mycobacterial cultures. lp was done , which showed no evidence of meningitis. csf and serum cryptococcal ag negative. csf bacterial, fungal, and afb cultures no growth. csf hsv pcr was checked, which was ultimately negative. abx d/c'ed once csf bacterial cultures were negative. bal with transbronchial biopsy was done on , and respiratory cultures eventually grew mrsa, and was negative to date for afb or nocardia. pt also found to be in arf on admission to with cr 2.3 from baseline 0.8. this was thought to be mainly prerenal, +/- atn. he was treated with ivf, and creatinine gradually decreased back to baseline over the next five days. fibrinogen normal, no fdps. it was observed that mr. ' inr was elevated to 2.7, with tbili elevated to 2.7. transaminases were high-normal, but also trended up slowly over course of hospitalization, with ast trending from 50 to 86, and alt from 16 to 39. hep c ab found to be equivocal. hbvsag neg, hbvsab negative, hbvcab negative. cmv igg positive, igm negative. ebv negative. hhv8 ag, and histoplasma ag pending. a ruq u/s was done on , which demonstrated multifocal areas of hypoattenuation, consistent with microabscesses or metastatic disease. mr. was extubated on , and sent to service on for further management. on the floor, the family made their desire known that they would like mr. to have a biopsy that could explain his deteriorating condition. thoracic surgery was consulted, who scheduled him tentatitvely for a mediastinoscopy and node biopsy for . he was taken off asa. during his course on the floor, his lfts remained elevated, and the aforementioned ruq u/s was done, which suggested microabscesses vs metastatic disease. at this point, the idea was entertained to attempt to obtain tissue through a liver core biopsy, which would be less invasive and stressful. in preparation for a possible lymph node biopsy and to better image the liver lesions, a ct was done. mr. ' mediastinal lad appeared unchanged; however, the liver lesions seen on u/s could not be visualized on ct. during his admission, mr. had a waxing and , but ultimately deteriorating course in terms of his mental status, respiratory status, and hemodynamics. post-extubation, he had a very raspy voice, and failed a speech and swallow test, leading team to suspect laryngeal nerve and/or vocal fold damage. he was made npo. an ng tube was attempted, but mr. refused placement. his family did not want a peg placed until a diagnosis was made that could give some hint of prognosis. ultimately, tpn was started. he had a very low albumin (2.0), thought to be poor nutritional status and his deteriorating hepatic function. he became severely edematous to the point of anasarca, and daily decsions were made regarding how to balance fluids and tpn, necessary for hemodynamic stability and nutrition, with diuresis for comfort. on , he was found to have an acute decline in mental status, unable or unwilling to open his eyes, and only responding to noxious stimuli. neuro was consulted, who recommended a toxic/metabolic work-up, which was negative. an eeg was also done, which showed generalized theta slowing c/w toxic/metabolic etiology. mr. also had at least two likely aspiration events. cxr demonstrated lll, rml, and rll infiltrates. he was placed on broad spectrum antibiotics and stress dose steroids, due to mr. ' long history of prednisone for ra, in context of hypotension and tachycardia associated with these episodes. mutiple discussions were held with mr. ' family regarding the goals of care. they made it clear that they would like to be able to obtain a biopsy in order to have a diagnosis. if he continued to be too unstable for biopsy, however, they would like to focus on comfort care. the reiterated that he should be dnr/dni, and unneccesary invasive tests or interventions should be avoided. unfortunately, mr. ' status, while intermittently improving to the point where he could interact with his wife and son, ultimately deteriorated. on , he gradually became hypotensive to 80s/40s and tachycardic to 130s with sao2 in 80s on nrb. ivf temporarily improved his bp, and respiratory therapy was called to perform deep suctioning, which improved his respiratory status. his condition, however, was tenuous throughout the day and night. at 5:45am on , his bp was back to 75/40 and not responsive to ivf. his son was called and asked to come in. at 7:15am, was called to bedside. mr. had no heartbeat or breath sounds after two minutes of auscultation. he had no corneal reflex and no pulse. he was pronounced dead at 7:21am. his family and the attending were called. his son requested an autopsy. medications on admission: 1. aspirin 325 mg daily 2. multivitamin 1 tab daily 3. colchicine 0.6 mg daily 4. colace 100 mg prn 5. prednisone 5 mg daily 6. calcium carbonate 500 mg tid 7. fosamax 80 mg weekly 8. prilosec 40 mg daily 9. lantus 15 units daily 10. spironolactone 50 mg daily 11. riss 12. compazine 5 mg q6h prn 13. lasix 60 mg daily 14. celexa 20 mg daily discharge disposition: expired discharge diagnosis: cardiopulmonary arrest pneumonia discharge condition: deceased discharge instructions: n/a followup instructions: n/a procedure: continuous invasive mechanical ventilation for less than 96 consecutive hours venous catheterization, not elsewhere classified venous catheterization, not elsewhere classified venous catheterization, not elsewhere classified spinal tap incision of lung insertion of endotracheal tube arterial catheterization insertion of other (naso-)gastric tube closed [endoscopic] biopsy of bronchus transfusion of other serum diagnoses: pneumonia, organism unspecified abnormal coagulation profile congestive heart failure, unspecified diabetes mellitus without mention of complication, type ii or unspecified type, not stated as uncontrolled acute kidney failure, unspecified unspecified septicemia infection with microorganisms resistant to penicillins sepsis acute respiratory failure hypotension, unspecified pneumonitis due to inhalation of food or vomitus cardiac arrest long-term (current) use of insulin septic shock methicillin susceptible pneumonia due to staphylococcus aureus cardiac pacemaker in situ rheumatoid arthritis enlargement of lymph nodes other disorders of calcium metabolism chondrocalcinosis, unspecified, site unspecified diverticulosis of colon (without mention of hemorrhage) personal history of colonic polyps Answer: The patient is high likely exposed to

year old woman with past medical history of copd, diastolic chf, orif of left femur fracture complicated by left lower extremity dvt in , who was brought in by ambulance from nursing home for hypoxia and hypotension, initially admitted to icu for septic shock, eventually transferred to the floors when hemodynamically stable. hospital course by problem: . # influenza/?pneumonia/sepsis: patient presented from nursing home in respiratory distress, hypotensive, initially requiring a non-rebreather, and pressor therapy after ivf resuscitation. cxr on admission demonstrated evidence of retrocardiac opacity. per report from nursing home, dfa swab sent just prior to transfer ended up positive for influenza. the patient was treated for influenza with 5 days of tamiflu, and was initially on vancomycin/cefepime for pneumonia, which was converted to levofloxacin to complete a 7 day course. as above, she was started on pressor support on admission due to hypotension/sepsis, also with initial lactate of 2.7, but was quickly weaned off pressors with ivf support with good maintenance of blood pressure. lactate normalized. as below, the patient was noted to be in atrial fibrillation with rvr on admission which was thought to explain her hypotension rather than an infectious sepsis etiology. this was managed as described below. . # acute stroke: the patient developed acute ms changes early am on , with apparent right sided neglect on exam. code stroke was called, a ct head (without contrast) was obtained which demonstrated a large left mca territory stroke, embolic. neurology was involved and recommended no tpa given the patient's age and co-morbidity, and recommended no need to check an echo or carotid ultrasound as it would not change management. she was maintained on a beta blocker for blood pressure control, with iv hydralazine prn to keep sbp < 160. she was also started on a statin. neurology followed along during hospital course and felt she likely had a poor prognosis given her age. the patient remains non-verbal without use of right side. a repeat ct showed evolving area of infarct but no evidence of bleed. a family meeting was held when she was on the general medicine floor (on with the neurology team, palliative care team, and primary geriatric team to discuss goals of care. the family is still uncertain about goals of care but determined she would not want any invasive procedures (picc, tee, mri, frequent lab draws) at this point. they would like a couple of weeks to observe her progress and reassess her goals of care. she was continued on metoprolol for blood pressure control (with prn hydralazine through the ng tube) and was given lovenox (as opposed to coumadin) for anticoagulation to avoid need for frequent lab draws. if the family decides to pursue a more aggressive management, neuro made the following recommendations: obtain tte and duplex carotids, keep ldl<70, check hga1c, start coumadin and get mri head to evaluate extent of damage. . # cardiac: a. chf: the patient has a history of diastolic dysfunction, and was on losartan and metoprolol during the hospital course. in the icu she had had recurrent problems with episodes of hypertension leading to desaturation/wheezing, requiring tight blood pressure and volume status control. she received iv hydralazine prn, iv lasix to maintain negative fluid balance. losartan was discontinued due to stroke above, and her blood pressure was managed with a goal bp 140-160, and close monitoring of volume status. on the floors she was continued on metoprolol with po hydralazine prn to keep blood pressure within goal range. . b. rhythm: the patient was initially in atrial fibrillation on presentation (no history of atrial fibrillation per records), then was in normal sinus rhythm during her early hospital course. she went back in atrial fibrillation with rapid ventricular response in the setting of acute stroke - at that time, she received dig load in attempt to maintain blood pressure, but she was not continued on dig. she was maintained on metoprolol, low dose, and spontaneously converted back to normal sinus rhythm within 24 hours. she was not started on coumadin for fear of converting her large ischemic stroke into a hemorrhagic stroke. once the repeat head ct came back negative for hemorrhage there was discussion of restarting her on coumadin but the family declined as this would require frequent blood sticks for monitoring inr and she had very poor access. she was started on sc lovenox instead. on the floors her rate was well-controlled on metoprolol though for her rhythm she did go in and out of nsr and a-fib. . # uti: the patient presented as above, and the u/a in ed was positive, though no cultures were sent at that time. repeat u/a after 24hrs of antibiotics was negative, and culture was negative. she completed a 7 day course of levofloxacin. . #. respiratory distress overnight on : the patient triggered for hypoxia and respiratory distress, was felt to be volume overloaded v. aspiration and received 40mg po lasix and 25mg po hydral. she diuresed 3 l and her o2 sat improved from requiring 6lo2 to her baseline 3l o2 requirement. she looked very comfortable the next day w/some crackles on exam so she was given another 40mg po lasix. she subsequently appeared euvolemic and comfortable. she had peg placed given risk for aspiration. she has been on aspiration precautions. i/o should be closely monitored. . rash- the patient developed linear lesions with pustules on r scapula with a few satelite lesions on l. could be pustular zoster though dfa was negative (culture pending). derm was consulted, she was put on zoster precautions and treated with 7 days of acyclovir 500mg 5x/day per ngt for 7 days total (started ), finished today . please follow up viral culture and monitor clinically for signs of further dissemination (has had none in house). # history of dvt: the patient has a history of dvt in in the setting of a surgical procedure in . she was on coumadin as an outpatient, and presented supratherapeutic, so coumadin was held. ffp was administered on the day after admission in order to reverse coumadin to remove the femoral line. coumadin was not restarted initially because the patient was status post 6 months of treatment. . # diabetes mellitus ii: the patient was maintained on an insulin sliding scale. 25 units lantus qhs was added for optimal control. this can be titrated up as necessary. . # renal failure: cr elevated at 1.3 on admission, resolved with ivf. . # access: patient had difficult peripheral access, but patient's family did not want picc or central line placed, so she currently has no iv access. . # fen: patient was initially on regular diet, then after stroke as above, had ngt placed and subsqeuently a peg placed. she is receiving tube feeds. the family needs to discuss goals of care as discussed above. . # code - dnr/dni (yes to pressors)

for presumptive flu. during your hospitalization you had a stroke which likely occurred when you converted from atrial fibrillation to normal sinus rhythm. neurology was consulted. your coumadin was stopped and you were started on aspirin. although a repeat head ct indicated you did not have a bleed with the stroke, you were not restarted on coumadin because you did not have iv access and your family decided they did not want to monitor inr in order to spare you from needing a picc or frequent blood draws. a family meeting was held and your family is still unsure of whether they want to begin a stroke work-up or stroke prevention medications. you are receiving nutrition via a peg tube. your white count was elevated but no source of infection was found. we stopped monitoring your wbc as you remained afebrile with stable vital signs and your family wishes to minimize blood draws. you also developed a rash that was evaluated by dermatology and felt to be consistent with zoster. you

she got a flu shot at her pcp's office. since that time, she has been weak, fatigued with fevers/chills, nausea and vomiting. she states that she was using her inhaler for shortness of breath and wheezing but it wasn't helping. son took her out to dinner on the night prior to admission and notes that she looked well. she ate a good dinner but afterwards, her son reports that she was more wheezy than her baseline. he got concerned today when she did not show up at her hair appointment. he went to her home and found her sitting up in her chair, nauseous, weak and wheezing. she had not yet taken her medications yet for the day. she was also complaining of ruq abdominal pain and short of breath. he then took her to the er. . at baseline, pt has a chronic cough productive of white sputum which has not recently changed in color or frequency. she is fully functional, lives alone, performs all of her adls, walks without a walker. her only residual deficit from her stroke is right hand weakness and some word finding difficulties. at baseline, she can only walk up 3-4 steps before getting short of breath. she has no recent travel, no sick contacts though her son recently had a cold. she coughs occasionally when she eats and depending on what she is eating. she sleeps on one big pillow at home and this has not changed. no recent medication changes, no increase in her weight, no change in her diet. she denies any diarrhea. . in ed, she was found to have a temp of 101 and o2 sat of 88% on ra. she pt received ceftriaxone/azithro and flagyl for presumed pna. pt was then noted to cough up a large amount of blood streaked sputum though the next sputum was clear of blood. given concern for pe a cta was ordered but pt was hydrated with 1l of ns over 2 hours prior to the study due to her cr of 1.8. after the fluid bolus, pt became more hypoxic requiring a nrb and then bipap which she did not tolerate. she received 20mg of iv lasix x 2 to which she responded poorly to and she was started on a nitro drip for hypertension to the 180s. she continued to have increased work of breathing with a rr of 40 and she asked to be intubated. on the propofol, she dropped her pressure

after ivf bolus in anticipation of cta to evaluate for pe. . . # hypoxia: initial cause of hypoxia felt to be related to pneumonia, which was exacerbated by component of chf caused by fluid hydration in anticipation of cta to rule out pe in ed. upon presentation to , plan was to treat with antibiotics and gentle diuresis, however exact volume status was unclear, and sbps ranged in 80-90s, thus did not appear that pt would tolerate diuresis. antibiotic regimen was broadened to from ceftriaxoneazithro/flagyl to cefipime/azithromycin/flagyl after pt spiked fevers (100.4), and pt was treated with albuterol and atrovent nebulizers for hypoxia. initial hemoptysis was felt most likely to chronic cough and brochiectasis. flagyl was d/c'd 11/15 per id recs, aspiration felt unlikely. . pt's oxygenation initially did not change substantially with variation in fio2, raising concerning about shunt physiology, possibly pneumonia or chf. a tte was obtained which showed normal ef, but e/a 0.7, mild mr (though this was felt to be underestimated on tte given her murmur), no intracaridac shunt on bubble study. ct chest showed bilateral pulmonary effusions, which were noted on prior ct. id consult obtained on to evaluate for other sources of infection, however sense was that the pulmonary process was most likely. thoracentesis performed on which was transudative with ~500 wbc felt consistent with para-pneumonic effusion. . pt continued to require ventilator support for hypoxia, though by hd#5, her pneumonia seemed to be resolving (wbc trending down, afebrile), and pulmonary edema poor uop was felt to be an increasing cause of her hypoxia. she was started on lasix gtt on . this was initially limited by episodes of hypotension, but was ultimately titrated up to 18 mg/hr on , with only modest diuresis. pt remained +9l on , with cxr showing persistent pleural effusion/pulmonary edema. . on , pt was having low grade temps (100.0), with new changes in sputum (thick yellow). sputum cultures on showed gnr, on and showed pseudomonas. pt was witched from cefipime to meropenem given concern for resistent gram negatives on . sputum initially cleared, but on changed again from white to yellow and thick. given concern for new vap, low threshold to start vancomycin. . on hd#9 and again on hd#14 the possibility of tracheostomy/peg was discussed with pt's daughter, who is amenable to plan, though feels her mother may not have wanted trach. on hd# pt was transiently doing better on vent (on ps 14/10 - ) but was occasionally becoming uncomfortable. on her secretions plan was to discuss with family again on , before moving ahead with trach/peg. she coninued on multiple antibiotics for pseudomonas colonization and septic physiology. . the patient was in fact extubated briefly, but required re-intubation in setting of respiratory distress and a question of septic physiology. she continued on antibiotics, and began treatmen for sepsis when swan numbers showed evidence for this. she alternated between septic and cardiogenic physiology and she continued to get more and more volume overloaded. attempts to diurese were met with hypotension and low urine output. agitation was frequently an issue resulting in respiratory discomfort and hypertension. plans for a trach and peg were made with surgery. however, after a lengthy discussion with family, pcp, patient, it was decided that patient did not want to continue aggressive medical care. per the patient's and families wishes, she was extubated and passed peacefully. . medications on admission:

monoclonal iga. urine culture from showed 10 to 100,000. imaging: a chest x-ray from . chest x-ray shows persistent left lower lobe atelectasis and consolidation. a cta on the same day shows no pulmonary embolism. it was a limited evaluation of the subsegmental arteries. it showed an increase in the left lower lobe consolidation, a small pericardial effusion, no lymphadenopathy and a goiter. head ct done on showed no hemorrhage or acute process and a ct of the abdomen on showed no acute process, stable cyst in the right upper quadrant and right pelvis. a left lower lobe consolidation. assessment: this is an 81-year-old female with progressive cll/pll, bronchiectasis with recurrent lower lobe pneumonia, type ii diabetes mellitus, hypertension, afebrile neutropenia intubated for respiratory distress and change in mental status. brief review of hospital course by systems: 1. respiratory failure. the patient initial respiratory failure was thought secondary to a change in her mental status and inability to protect her airway. the patient was intubated. her initial attempt at extubation failed. the patient was extubated for a day before developing worsening short of breath and hypoxemia. she was reintubated. subsequent attempts at weaning trials also failed as the patient continued to tire out. at this point an emg was obtained to asses for patient weakness and the study was an abnormal study, the electrophysiologic findings most consistent with a moderately severe generalized myopathic process with active denervation. the patient was eventually trached on and was consistently vented to help her strength and rested on partial support as tolerated. she gradually improved to tolerate trach collar since . 2. oncology. patient with a history of cll with lymphocytic leukemia with central nervous system involvement. the patient's original change in mental status was found to be secondary to leukemic meningitis. the patient had a lumbar puncture done with the full cytometry revealing central nervous system involvement of her peripheral lymphoma. the cerebrospinal fluid showed immunophenotypic findings consistent with involvement by the patient's known beta-cell restricted non-hodgkin's lymphoma. the patient had been treated with four days of systemic fludarabine and had one round of leukophoresis. fludarabine treated her systemic cll as well as her central nervous system involvement as it does have properties allowing it to cross the blood brain barrier. the patient's mental status improved after treatment for her central nervous system involvement. she did not have any interthecal chemotherapy at the time of this dictation and this will be further discussed with her primary oncologist dr. at the cancer institute. 3. infectious disease. the patient had been treated for a total of four weeks of antibiotics for her left lower lobe pneumonia with cefepime. in the early part of her hospitalization the patient was found to have c. difficile in her stool. subsequent stool samples have not revealed this. however, given the extent that she remained on antibiotics, she was placed on flagyl empirically. she should be on this for two weeks after the last day of cefepime. the first day of this flagyl course is and she will continue on this for 14 days total. the patient was also seen to have both yeast in her urine and sputum and was treated with several day course of fluconazole. she had completed her course by the time of her pending discharge. 4. cardiovascular. the patient had multiple cardiac risk factors but no evidence of coronary artery disease prior to her admission. during the course of her hospital stay the patient had an echocardiogram which was done on . this was done to evaluate her lower extremity edema, short of breath and fatigue. at that time she had an ejection fraction of 70% with some mild symmetric left ventricular hypertrophy and normal systolic function. throughout her intensive care unit stay the patient was tachycardiac. a repeat electrocardiogram showed new q-waves in the anterior and inferior leads. a repeat echo which was done on revealed a markedly depressed ejection fraction of 20 to 30% the echo now also shows mild symmetric left ventricular hypertrophy in addition to a severely depressed left ventricular systolic function confirming a large anterior inferior infarction. the patient was continued on aspirin 325 mg p.o.q day, started on a beta-blocker metoprolol 50 mg p.o. twice a day. she is started on an ace inhibitor which is titrated up to captopril 50 mg p.o. three times a day and converted to lisinopril 20 mg p.o. q day. she was also started on a standing dose of lasix 40 mg q day. the patient had been on a much higher dose prior to her admission and it is likely this will need to be titrated up. 5. endocrine. the patient has a history of type ii diabetes mellitus. prior to her admission she had been on glyburide. however in the hospital in the setting of infection her sugars were hard to control. she was initiated nph sliding scale insulin. her sugars were well controlled with her current tube feeds with a dose of nph insulin 18 units in the morning and a dose of 12 units of nph insulin at bedtime. she was also placed on a regular insulin sliding scale. her fingersticks should be checked four time a day and she should be covered according to the sliding scale. 6. neuro/psych: the patient had persistent mental status decline for a number of days, status post intubation. the patient had not been hypoxic, hypercarbic, hypotensive, hypoglycemic. the patient had normal liver function tests. she was no uremic and she had no new infection although her pneumonia persisted. the central nervous system tap revealed evidence of leukemic meningitis. an eeg was also done which showed generalized swelling of the background along with bursts of generalized delta swelling overlying that consistent with a toxic, metabolic encephalopathy. thus her mental status change was thought to be secondary to leukemic meningitis in addition to toxic metabolic encephalopathy. her mental status improved over the course of her intensive care unit stay to the point where she was able to follow commands and shake her head yes and no to questions. 7. hematology. the patient has a history of interphalangeal joint and is status post splenectomy. she receives monthly intravenous ig infusions and she is also on prednisone 10 mg p.o. q day. 8. rheumatology. the patient has a history of rheumatoid arthritis. she had been on methotrexate which has been held. this can be reinitiated by her pcp as an outpatient. she has been on prednisone 10 mg p.o. q day which she is tolerating well. 9. prophylaxis. the patient should be continued on subcutaneously heparin three times a day as she has a relative immobility being vented and also with the history of cancer she should continue on her proton pump inhibitor. code as of this dictation the patient continues to be a full code. further discussions will be made by both the pcp and her oncologist. access. the patient had a left upper extremity picc line placed on . she had a tracheostomy done on . she had a percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy placed on . 10. ortho. the patient has a right humerus fracture status post a fall. she was evaluated by orthopedic department who felt this will heal on its own and no further stabilization is required. the patient will be discharged to an extended care facility. she should have aggressive pulmonary toilet. her foley should be removed when she can comfortably use the bedpan. final diagnosis: 1. respiratory failure. 2. pneumonia. 3. alteration of awareness. 4. congestive heart failure. 5. chronic lymphocytic leukemia. she is to follow-up with dr. her pcp at 9:30, . she is to follow-up with dr. , pulmonologist on . she can call to verify her appointment. major surgical and invasive procedures included tracheostomy and percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy placement. discharge condition: she was sitting up in bed, she is not ambulating. she will need physical therapy. she is tolerating tube feeds via her percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy, she has a foley and she is having normal bowel movements. medications on discharge: 1. folic acid 1 mg p.o. q day. 2. aspirin 325 mg p.o. q day. 3. lasix 40 mg p.o. q day. again, it is likely this will need to be titrated up. please follow her potassium levels every other day to ensure that her potassium levels are within the normal limits. 4. percocet elixir 5/325 mg per 5 mls solution, 5 to 10 milliliters as needed by mouth every 4 to 6 hours for pain. 5. subcutaneously heparin 5000 units q 8 hours. 6. lansoprazole 30 mg per percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy q 4 hours. 7. metoprolol 50 mg p.o. twice a day. 8. flagyl 500 mg p.o. three times a day for 14 days, start date was . 9. ritalin i2.5 mg p.o. twice a day. 10. fluoxetine 40 mg p.o. q day. 11. prednisone 10 mg p.o. q day. 12. albuterol inhaler two puffs q 4 hours p.r.n. for short of breath or wheezing. 13. hypertropion two puffs inhaled q 4 hours as needed for short of breath or wheezing. 14. salmeterol 2 puffs q 12 hours. 15. beclomethasone 2 puffs four times a day. 16. colace twice a day. 17. tylenol q 4 to 6 hours as needed for pain. 18. lisinopril 20 mg p.o. q day. 19. nph insulin 18 units in the morning, 12 units at bedtime. 20. regular insulin as per sliding scale. the patient should have her pressure ulcer on her left buttock cleansed daily with a dry dressing and saline. the patient should continue on her tube feedings. she was receiving deliver 2.0 3/4 strength with 60 grams of promod per day at 45 milliters per hour. she should have residual checked every 4 hours flushed with 30 milliliters of water every 4 hours. activity: as tolerated, out of bed with assistance. , m.d. dictated by: medquist36 d: 15:07 t: 15:52 job#: cc: procedure:

Consider the following medical report that includes the patient's historical health records. Use it to predict the disease that the patient is high likely exposed to. Medical Report: allergies: indomethacin attending: chief complaint: transfer for worsening gallstone pancreatitis for ercp major surgical or invasive procedure: endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography history of present illness: mr. is a 55 yo male with pmh of htn and copd trasnferred from an osh for worsening pancreatitis complicated by hypoxia, hypotension, and acute renal failure. prior to admission the patient had had intermittent abdominal pain. last thursday he developed severe abdominal pain associated with nausea and vomiting and went to hospital. he was found to have a cbd stone and associated pancreatitis on ct. he was admitted and medically treated for pancreatitis with ivf. the day prior to transfer he was found to have blood sugars in the 500's and hyperkalemia. he was started on an insulin gtt and transferred to the icu. he became tachycardic and his uop decreased although at that time his sbps remained stable. he was given ivfs. over the course of the day he became more tachypneic and tachycardic and was placed on a nrb. he also became delirious and agitated and was intubated the morning of transfer. after intbuation his sbps dropped to the 60's and he was given more ivf with some improvement. he has had verly little urine output since intubation. . when he left the osh he was on an insulin gtt, propofol, but not on pressors. he has a right subclavian cvl and an arterial line. prior to transfer he was on ps 28/8 on fio2 of 100% with an abg of 7.26/74/71. . during the his insulin gtt was stopped and he had a fs checked within the high 100s. he became difficult to ventilate with pips in the 50's and was changed to ac. he was briefly hypotensive and was placed on levo, however this was stopped before he arrived at the . . on arrival to the his sats were in the mid 80's. he was normotensive and tachycardic. . review of sytems: unable to obtain as the patient is intubated past medical history: hypertension asthma/copd obstructive sleep apnea eczema history of spinal surgery social history: lives alone. drinks a few beers a week. quit smoking in . family history: non-contributory physical exam: vitals: 98.5 bp 138/57 p 128 rr 16 sat 85% on cmv tv 400 rr 25 fio2 100% peep 10 cvp 21 bladder pressure 16 general: sedated and intubated. does not respond to voice. heent: sclera icteric, scleral edema present. pupils small and equal; slightly reactive to slight. neck: supple, jvd difficult to assess lungs: patient is on a ventilator. anteriorly lungs have a slight wheeze present. cv: tachycardic and regular, normal s1 + s2, no murmurs, rubs, gallops abdomen: no bowel sounds, very distended and tympanic. gu: foley present ext: warm, well perfused, 2+ pulses, no clubbing, cyanosis. slight peripheral edema present. pertinent results: 04:13pm blood wbc-17.1* rbc-4.45* hgb-13.8* hct-39.8* mcv-89 mch-31.0 mchc-34.7 rdw-13.0 plt ct-136* 04:13pm blood neuts-74.5* lymphs-19.7 monos-4.8 eos-0.5 baso-0.4 04:13pm blood pt-15.5* ptt-29.5 inr(pt)-1.4* 04:13pm blood glucose-206* urean-53* creat-4.2* na-144 k-5.0 cl-103 hco3-31 angap-15 04:13pm blood alt-55* ast-75* ld(ldh)-1142* alkphos-45 amylase-2580* totbili-5.5* 04:13pm blood albumin-2.9* calcium-6.4* phos-6.8* mg-1.8 04:27pm blood type-art temp-36.9 rates-25/ tidal v-400 peep-10 fio2-100 po2-55* pco2-78* ph-7.20* caltco2-32* base xs-0 aado2-598 req o2-95 -assist/con intubat-intubated 02:36am blood type-art temp-38.6 peep-18 po2-57* pco2-67* ph-7.23* caltco2-29 base xs--1 -assist/con 04:27pm blood lactate-1.9 09:49pm blood lactate-4.2* 11:49pm blood lactate-4.0* 02:36am blood lactate-3.8* 09:49pm blood freeca-1.00* 11:49pm blood freeca-0.88* 02:36am blood freeca-1.00* brief hospital course: given his long hospitalization, his hospital course is summarized in two parts: the first part is his intensive unit course. the second part is his floor course. . micu course: # respiratory failure: the patient was intubated the morning of admission at the outside hospital due to tachypnea and hypoxia in the setting of receiving many liters of ivf while oliguric. he was initially sedated with fentanyl and propofol, switched to propofol and midazolam. he was ventilated on ards net protocol given pao2:fio2 < 100. he was initially very difficult to ventilate, requiring 100% fio2 and particular positioning. he was thought to have abdominal compartment syndrome, compressing his lungs, causing an increased peep requirement. he had an esophageal balloon placed temporarily to help estimate pleural pressures and keep plateau pressures at a goal of < 40. the esophageal balloon was taken out after a few days because it passed through the nasal cavity, and pus drainage was noted draining from his sinuses. after the patient was started on cvvh and significant amounts of fluid were removed, the patient's ventilation status significantly improved. his fio2 and peep were weaned down. he was maintained on volume controlled ventilation with minute ventilation calculated to be 11l/min. by , the patient was weaned down to pressure support , which he was able to tolerate for an extended period of time. his only barrier to extubation at this time was mental status; the patient was still not responsive to verbal commands even with sedation decreased. over the next seevral days, the patient's mental status has improved and he was able to respond to verbal commands with blinking of his eyes and moving his head. he was able to move his upper and lower extremities in response to commands. he had a transient increase in vent requirements up to ps 15/5 due to tachycardia and diaphoresis, low grade fevers, associated with radiographic findings of bilateral lung infiltrates at the bases on cxr and ct of the chest without contrast from concerning for vap. the patient was started on vanc (at hd), zosyn and cipro for vap on with the plan to complete a total 8 day course (last day ). following initiation of abx, the vent requirements have decreased to ps 5/5. he continues to have occasional low grade febile episodes, but these may be attributed to necrotic process in his pancereas or hd line infection. the patient was successfully extubated on . at the time of callout from icu, he is satting 95+% on ra. while his mental status is considerably improved, he is still aao1, at times confused and very weak. # gallstone pancreatitis: the patient presented to the outside hospital with pancreatitis and was found to have a cbd stone. he was medically treated for pancreatitis with bowel rest and ivf; however, he clinically continued to worsen and his amylase has continued to rise raising concern that the stone was still causing blockage and damage to the pancreas. an ercp was done at the bedside the night the patient was transferred to the icu, during which 10ml of infected appearing bile was drained. the stone was not found, but a 9cm 10french biliary stent was placed in the common bile duct to open up a stricture. ct scan from suugested a possible early forming pseudocyst and concern for splenic vein thrombosis. surgery was consulted and recommended re-imaging with ct a/p to eveluate for pseudocyst if there is a significant hct drop given a high risk of pancreatic bleed. however, the patient's hct remained stable. the patient was started on tpn. on , he was started intermittently on trophic tube feeds as well. while the patient had high initial residuals, he eventually met nutrition goals with tube feeds alone and tpn was discontinued. after extubation, tube feeds were discontinued and the patient was advanced to full liquids. # hypotension: the patient became hypotensive during transport from the outside hospital and after arrival to the icu. his hypotension was likely due to a combination of the biliary sepsis with his sedation, hypocalcemia, and high peep. the patient was started on norepinephrine and vasopressin. he did briefly require phenylephrine as well to keep his maps > 65, particularly in the setting of rapid atrial fibrillation with ventricular rates into the 190s. the patient was started initially on zosyn for his sepsis, which was changed to meropenem on . his blood, stool, and urine cultures continued to be negative. sputum from showed budding yeast with pseudohyphae. nasal swab from showed 1+ gp rods, 1+ yeast. the patient continued to have low-grade fevers while on cvvh, though cvvh typically lowers body temperatures; he did spike higher temperatures while off cvvh. vancomycin was started given concern for pustular drainage around his right femoral dialysis catheter site. the catheter tip was cultured and showed... the femoral line was pulled for 24 hour line holiday and was replaced with a right ij dialysis line on . the patient had been completely weaned off pressors on . a ct pan-scan on showed nearly completely necrotic pancreas, cholelithiasis in an atonic gall bladder, and diffuse membranous sinus disease with opacification of mastoid air cells bilaterally. an erythematous rash on the left flank, noted first on , was evaluated by dermatology and thought to be due to anasarca and stasis. a similar rash developed on the rue and these were followed on serial exams and improved spontaneously. micafungin had been empirically started for treatment of possible fungemia in the setting of ongoing fevers on broad spectrum antibiotics in addition to new rash but was discontinued because suspicion for fungemia was low. the rash has continued to improve without further intervention during the rest of his icu course. # acute renal failure: the patient per osh records had normal renal function at baseline. his cr increased rapidly to 4.2 and his urine output has dropped off. in the setting of pancreatitis with significant third-spacing and hypotension he likely has oliguric atn. bladder pressures were measured regularly, with a goal of < 20, to evaluate his intra-abdominal pressures, which were thought to have possibly been compressing renal artery flow and contributing to his renal failure. nephrology was consulted, and the patient was started on cvvhd on for oliguric renal failure with rising bun and creatinine. cvvh was successful in removing large amounts of volume, dialyzing k+, and repleting calcium. due to pustular drainage around his dialysis catheter noted on , the line was pulled, prompting a line holiday x24 hours and initiation of vancomycin treatment. the dialysis line was re-sited to the right ij vein on , placed by ir, and cvvh was re-started. cvvh was done only intermittently due to frequent clotting of the filtration system. he received the last course of cvvh was a period of 72 hours ending on in am. on , the patient was started on hemodialysis. the patient's hd line was pulled on as there was localized erythema and suspicion of infection. tip was send for culture, which is currently pending. the plan is for the patient to receive a new tunneled hd cath on prior to next hd session. nephrocaps and phos binder were added. # atrial fibrillation with rvr: on the night of transfer to , the patient went into atrial fibrillation with rapid ventricular rate that steadily increased to the 150s, then to the 190s. a small 2.5mg dose of iv metoprolol significantly dropped his blood pressures, so an amiodarone drip and a diltiazem drip were started. the diltiazem drip was stopped the next morning when the patient had returned to sinus rhythm. the amiodarone drip was left on until when the patient had received a full 10g loading dose intravenously. he remained in sinus rhythm for the remainder of his icu stay. # hyperglycemia: the patient does not have known history of diabetes, however was found to have sugars in the 500s at the osh, requiring very large amounts of insulin. this is likely related to a necrotic process in his pancreas, which has resulted in complete impairment of endocrine pancreatic function. he was weaned off the insulin gtt prior to transfer from osh but was restarted on an insulin drip on arrival to the icu. insulin was later added to his tpn, the insulin drip was stopped, and the patient was maintained on sliding scale subcutaneous insulin. as tube feeds replaced tpn, the patient again required iv insulin drip. his daily insulin requirements was calculated, and his dose of lantus was uptitrated based on his insulin requirements. since the initiation of po diet, the patient's bg has been successfully controlled with a combination of lantus 40 units qam as insulin sc sliding scale. # anemia: the patient's hct on presentation was 39.8. no clinical evidence of bleeding was found, though his hct has slowly dropped to 22.5 by . the patient does have a high risk of a pancreatic bleed. at the time of trasfer from icu, the patient's hct has remained stable and there is no current evidence of active bleed. # thrombocytopenia: the patient presented with mild thrombocytopenia, likely in the setting of his acute illness. the thrombocytopenia quickly resolved, and he returned to his baseline platelet level. once on floor: . altered mental status: on transfer to floor, the patient continued to have a clouded sensorium thought to be secondary to continued uremia from his acute renal failure. ir-guided temporary line was placed and hd was performed on . following dialysis, mr sensorium cleared substantially. other underlying causes of altered mental status were also addressed including the possibility of underlying infection. he completed his course for ventilator acquired pneumonia on . catheter tip cxs, blood cxs, urine cxs, bal cxs negative. all sedating medications were discontinued. following these measures, at time of discharge, mental status had cleared substantially, with patient being a+o x3, able to recite days of week backwards. his mental status abnormalities were ultimately thought to be secondary to uremia. . # renal insufficiency: at time of transfer to floor, was oliguric and uremic. hd initiated as above. following dialysis on , improvement in mental status and urine output. sevelamer was initiated for improvement in phosphatemia. after several rounds of hd, his mental status cleared. at time of discharge, creatinine was 2.9 and bun was 35. he was set up for a nephrology followup as an outpatient and his rehab facility was noted to follow creatinines and assess urine output daily to determine if further dialysis was necessary. given his improvement prior to discharge, his temporary line was removed. . # cholangitis s/p ercp with stent placement: on floor, lfts considerable improved with no abdominal pain. much improved compared to prior history. abd ct from several days ago shows possible development of pseudocyst, surgery was reconsulted about possibility of bleeding into cyst but they did not feel that this was an active issue. lfts, amylase/lipase were stable throughout rest of hospitalization on floor. mr will need his stent removed on and has follow-up with gastroenterology scheduled. . # hyperglycemia: thought to be secondary to poorly functioning pancreas in the setting of gallstone pancreatitis. sugars on the floor were between 200 - 300. lantus dose was increased to 60 mg qam with insulin sliding scale coverage. rehab facility was urged to continue daily fingersticks with monitoring of sugars with adjustment in lantus and sliding scale as necessary. . # right elbow fracture: s/p fall on floor. repeat ap and lateral films were obtained, and fracture was thought to be subtle and nondisplaced. ortho consulted and they felt no need for any intervention. they did recommended physical therapy for chronic bursitis likely present in both elbows. . # hypertension: blood pressures were under good control with regimen of metoprolol 25 tid. . # atrial fibrillation w/ rvr: after being transferred to floor, mr remained in sinus rhythm. he was continued on metoprolol 25 mg tid. . # fen: video speech and swallow was repeated around time of discharge; speech and swallow suggested a regular diet with nectar-thick liquids for swallowing. . # access: temporary line removed as did not seem to need further dialysis at time of discharge. . # comm: hcp - , sister (ok to give her infor per hcp) - . # code: dnr but to intubate (patient was full code on admission but was changed to dnr by hcp. compressions/ cpr but would be ok to re-intubate if needed as per discussion.) . #dispo: was discharged to acute rehab facility near ; has followup appointsment with gastroenterology and nephrology set up. medications on admission: lotrel dilitazem advair albuterol hydrocortisone cream discharge medications: 1. albuterol sulfate 90 mcg/actuation hfa aerosol inhaler sig: six (6) puff inhalation q6h (every 6 hours) as needed for asthma/wheezing. 2. metoprolol tartrate 25 mg tablet sig: one (1) tablet po tid (3 times a day). 3. b complex-vitamin c-folic acid 1 mg capsule sig: one (1) cap po daily (daily). 4. sevelamer hcl 400 mg tablet sig: two (2) tablet po tid w/meals (3 times a day with meals). 5. insulin lantus 60 qam with sliding scale 6. advair diskus inhalation 7. epoetin alfa 3,000 unit/ml solution sig: one (1) injection three times a week. discharge disposition: extended care facility: hospital of & islands - discharge diagnosis: 1. cholangitis, resolving 2. gallstone pancreatitis, resolving 3. renal failure secondary to acute tubular necrosis, resolving 4. hyperglycemia secondary to hypo-pancreatic function, currently requiring insulin. 5. hypertension discharge condition: normal saturations on room air. afebrile. ambulation with assistance. discharge instructions: you were admitted with a diagnosis of gallstone pancreatitis, which can happen when the gallstones block the ducts that empty the pancreas. because of this, you also had difficulty with breathing. for this reason, we admitted you to the intensive care unit for further monitoring. while in the intensive care unit, we placed a hollow tube that helps relieve the blockage from the stone. we also kept you on a breathing machine to ensure that you continued to have good oxygenation. because of your disease, your kidneys suffered damage. for this reason, we had to start dialysis. over time, your difficulty with breathing improved and we were able to take you off the ventilator. we transferred you to the regular hospital floor to continue dialysis. over time, your kidneys started to improve on dialysis. we also treated you for a pneumonia that developed as a result of using the ventilator. your pneumonia resolved with antibiotics. . we made the following changes in your medications during hospitalization: (1) started sevelamer 800 mg three times a day with meals. this medicine helps keep your phosphate from going too high, which can happen in patients with kidney disease.

intravenous fluids. radiographic images from the osh demonstrated free air and leakage of contrast from the bowel. he was also reported to be in atrial fibrillation and started on an amiodarone drip. he received fluid resuscitation and was taken to the operating room where he had an exploratory laparotomy and resection of the small bowel. his operative course was stable with a 100cc blood loss. after his surgey he was transported to the intensive care unit where he was closely monitored. on pod #1, he was tachycardic, febrile and hypotensive and there was a concern for septic shock. during this time, he required fluid resusitation and pressor suppport. blood cultures were sent. an echocardoigram was done to evaluate his cardiac status. he was febrile and started on a 7 day course of zosyn. because of his labile status, ep was consulted to evaluate his pacemaker status; their final conclusions at the time were a tachy-brady syndrome related to sirs. recommendations included echo 1 month after discharge, bridging from heparin to coumadin, and rate-control with beta-blockade. his pulmonary status improved and he was extubated on pod #2. his tachycardia was controlled with digoxin and lopressor and he was weaned off his amiodarone. his fever persisted with a rising white blood cell count and he was started on vancomycin and fluconazole. his blood and urine cultures showed no growth. he remained npo with -gastric tube to suction. after his gastric output decreased, the -gastric tube was removed on pod #3. he was transferred to the surgical floor on pod # 4. he was reported to have an isolated episode of elevated heart rate and his lopressor was increased to control the rate. he also had an isolated episode of emesis and was made npo. after his nausea subsided, he was introduced to clear liquids with advancement to a regular diet. he tolerated his diet but began having episodes of diarrhea. a stool culture was sent and it was negative for c.diff. on pod #7, he began having periods of oxygen desaturation. a chest x-ray was done which showed left lobe residual opacity suggestive of ateletasis. he was encouraged to use the incentive spirometer and he was started on nebulizers. his oxygen saturation improved and he has been maintained on room air with an oxygen saturation of 100%. he has completed his course of antibiotics on but continues to have an elevated white blood cell count of 18,000-20,000. he resumed his coumadin on , but after one dose was found to have an inr of 7.2. he received vit. k and his coumadin was held. his current inr is 1.0 and he will receive 5 mg on with careful monitoring of his pt/inr. he was evaluated by physical therapy and because of his hospital course and deconditioning, they recommended a rehabilitation facility upon discharge. he has been instructed to follow up with the acute care service and with his primary care provider who will need to schedule a follow-up echo in 1 month. medications on

good. csf culture and initial studies were negative. sputum cultures have been thus far unrevealing. he was started on vancomycin and zosyn to cover for possible neursing home acquired organisms, however on further questioning it was discovered that the patient actually has assistants who come into his home. sputum culture was repeated on and showed pan-sensitve serraita and the patient was switched to po levofloxacin to complete a 14 day course. the patient was kept on a ventilator for 6 days total, remaining on pressure support at 10/5 for 3 days. during his course, the patient had an episode of htn urgency on the evening of with bp 190/120s. he was on and off a nitro drip as well as a nicardipine drip for 24 hours. he was then maintained on a ccb and ace. we avoided beta blockade in the setting of the patient's baseline bradycardia as well as an ekg which was possibly consistent with some form of intermittent av block. discussion with the patient's daughter revealed that he had been intubated 3 years ago and in detailed discussion since then he had expressed to her his desire not to be intubated or resuscitated. she stated that had she known there was paperwork to be filled out to that effect she would have done so as she is certain these were his wishes. as the patient became more alert in the he was able to again communicate these wishes to his daughter. was extubated and although he still had a large amount of secretions he did well status post extubations. he remained in the icu for one additional day for frequent suctioning, but the patient eventually refused this as well and his secretions decreased within 24 hours. he was called out to the floor with good o2 sats on face mask only. the patient was transferred to the floor with the plan to go home

aneurysm of his thoracic aorta. labs were sent. chest x-ray was also sent but did not reveal any acute cardiopulmonary process and a consent was signed for surgical intervention. thus on , hospital day 1, the patient was brought to the operating room for an aneurysm repair. this was done through a left posterolateral thoracotomy incision. the aneurysm was noted to be thinning from the level of the left subclavian artery to the level of the pulmonary veins. there was no obvious hematoma surrounding the aneurysm and it was noted to be well contained. the patient was noted to tolerate the procedure well and good hemostasis was achieved afterwards and transesophageal echo at the end of the case revealed the heart function to be normal. the patient had basilar and apical chest tubes placed at this time and marcaine was injected for anesthesia for the postoperative period. the patient was noted to progress well and was initially admitted to the intensive care unit at this time and his pain was noted to be well controlled as well. however, shortly thereafter, the patient began to have increasing shortness of breath in the postoperative period. films revealed a likely loculated effusion on the left and thoracic surgery was consulted for possible left vats evacuation with possible decortication and, on , the patient was brought to the operating room by the thoracic surgery service and dr. ________ performed a left vats procedure where the patient received a left thoracotomy and evacuation of hemothorax. chest tubes were placed at this time on the left, 1 apically and 1 in the middle fields. the patient, however, was noted to have lost his airway at the time the case was ending and the patient was being repositioned. there was also noted to be a brief episode of pulseless arrest. the patient was given external compressions and atropine and epi boluses. the patient promptly returned back to sinus rhythm and a lma was placed following then by the endotracheal tube. his oxygen saturations normalized at this time and end tidal co2 was normalized and the patient was brought to the pacu and then shortly thereafter to the csru. the patient was examined serially in the postoperative period and there were noted to be no neurologic deficits upon lessening of propofol sedation. from this point on, the patient continued to progress well. the patient was continued as well on vancomycin for suspected pulmonary source that was located by the thoracic staff and was continued as well on ciprofloxacin for a positive urinalysis. during this postoperative time, the patient continued to progress well and on postoperative day #3, his chest tubes were able to be removed. the patient was now taking a regular diet, was walking with physical therapy, who found him able to be discharged to home when he was medically cleared and he had been extubated the prior day. his epidural was able to be removed. his foley catheter was removed as well. he was noted to be voiding on his own and on postoperative day #6, he was deemed fit for discharge to home with visiting nurse assistance and this was done accordingly. discharge instructions: the patient to take medications as directed per the discharge instructions. the patient not to drive for 4 weeks. the patient not to lift more than 10 pounds for 3 months. the patient not to use powders, lotions or creams on the wounds. the patient to shower but to pat dry with a towel. to call office for incisional drainage, temperature greater than 101.5 degrees fahrenheit. medications on discharge: potassium

tacrofk-pnd brief hospital course: he was admitted to the transplant service and pan-cultured. iv meropenem and vancomycin were started. abd ct was done demonstrating increase in size of a communicating perihepatic and pelvic fluid collection with interval removal of the percutaneous drainage catheters. there was slight interval decrease in size of splenic bed enhancing fluid collection. inr was 3.7 on admission. coumadin was held and ffp give to reverse coumadin for ct drainage of collection. on ,a 10 french drainage catheter was placed under ct guidance into the intra-abdominal connected fluid collections. fluid sample was sent for gram stain and culture. this isolated e. coli sensitive to meropenem and vre. vancomycin was switched to daptomycin on . he remained afebrile and blood and urine cultures were negative. picc line was placed in r arm on . on , he was transferred to the sicu for respiratory distress/hypoxia from blood from oropharynx. he was emergently intubated. ent was consulted for epistaxis/oropharyngeal bleeding. no evidence of epistaxis or obvious source of bleeding aside from mucosal erosion and oozing of hard and soft palate was noted. bleeding stopped. cxr demonstrated prominence of the cardiomediastinal silhouette, chf, left lower lobe collapse and/or consolidation, small left effusion and more patchy opacity in the right cardiophrenic angle are all unchanged compared with earlier the same day. repeat cxr on showed opacification in both lungs suspicious for pneumonia. cxr on showed bilateral pleural effusions (r>l). given note of borderline size of the cardiac silhouette, a tte was done noting moderately dilated ra. moderate symmetric lvh. lvef >55%. 1+ ar. possibly diastolic dysfunction, but findings were inconclusive. he was extubated. mental status improved. speech and swallow evaluated noting on , abscess drainage decreased. drain was upsized from 10 fr to 12 fr while under ct, 250cc drained during procedure. outputs averaged 25cc per day of brown purulent fluid. confusion was evaluated by head ct which was negative. confusion was multifactorial and was attributed to supra therapeutic prograf level which was high at 19.1. prograf was held for 5 days then resumed at 0.5mg for trough level of 9.7. prograf dose was decreased to 0.5mg daily for an elevated trough and will be monitored monday and thursdays. confusion was also felt to be related to abdominal abscess. he was kept npo initially due to altered mental status and episode of nasopharyngeal bleeding. once mental status improved and oral pharyngeal bleeding stopped, diet was up graded. speech therapist re-evaluated him and declared him safe for thin liquids and soft solids. coumadin (for splenic vein thromus)was held until when it was resumed. coumadin 1mg was given then increased to 2mg on . other medication changes included discontinuation of valcyte and prednisone (completed taper). prograf doses were adjusted per trough. of note, fluconazole was to continue indefinately. propranolol (previously started for tremors from ssri)was decreased to 20mg qd. pt recommended rehab. the plan was to transfer to in . will

ct chest impression: 1. interval improvement in degree of acute-to-subacute patchy ground-glass opacification with accompanying septal thickening with intervening normal areas of lung on a background of unchanged to slightly progressed subpleural interstitial abnormality with traction bronchiectasis, but no discrete honeycombing. in total this pattern is suspicious for acute interstitial pneumonia on a background of interstitial lung disease. pcp infection superimposed on chronic interstitial lung disease is an alternate consideration. it is unlikely to reflect pulmonary edema or bacterial infection. 2. interval decrease in degree of lymphadenopathy in the mediastinum and hila which is likely reactive for the ongoing interstitial process. 3. enlarged ascending aorta to 4.8 cm. 4. nasogastric tube tents the stomach and could be withdrawn by approximately 1 cm. eeg this is an abnormal continuous icu monitoring study due to diffuse background slowing and attenuation with intermittent brief runs of frontal intermittent rhythmic delta activity (firda). these findings are indicative of moderate to severe diffuse cerebral dysfunction of non-specific etiology. no epileptiform discharges or electrographic seizures are present. note is made of an irregularly irregular rapid cardiac rhythm and occasional wide complex premature cardiac beats. ct chest impression: 1. interval development of moderate bibasilar right greater than left likely atelectasis with otherwise little change in the degree of interstitial abnormality presumed to reflect acute exacerbation of chronic interstitial lung disease. 2. unchanged ascending aortic dilatation 3. decreased mediastinal adenopathy. cta head impression: 1. no evidence of acute vascular territorial ischemia, though no dedicated perfusion sequence was requested or performed. 2. no flow-limiting stenosis, significant mural irregularity, aneurysm larger than 2 mm, or dissection of the cranial vessels. 3. complete opacification of the mastoid air cells and middle ear cavities, and aerosolized secretions in the sphenoid air cell, likley related to prolonged intubation and supine positioning. cxr comparison is made with prior studies from and 20th. the appearance of the cardiomediastinum is unchanged. cardiomegaly is moderate. mediastinal lymphadenopathy is better seen in prior ct from . tracheostomy tube is in a standard position. right picc tip is difficult to evaluate, can be followed to the lower svc. there is no pneumothorax. bibasilar opacities, larger on the left side are unchanged, likely atelectasis. patient has known chronic interstitial lung disease, superimposed there is increasing diffuse density of the interstitial markings. this suggests again exacerbation of the chronic interstitial lung disease, less likely edema. mri of head with contrast impression: 1. there is no evidence of acute or subacute intracranial process, specifically no diffusion abnormalities are demonstrated to indicate acute ischemic event. 2. possible lacunar ischemic change versus prominent perivascular space noted of the right basal ganglia, unchanged since the prior head ct. slightly prominent ventricles and sulci, possibly age-related and indicating mild cortical volume loss. 3. unchanged bilateral opacities noted of the mastoid air cells, likely related with prolonged

s brief hospital course: 73 yo m with ild, osa, presents from va for second opinion on tracheostomy after 3 weeks of mechanical ventilation 2/2 acute on chronic hypoxic respiratory failure from pneumonia in the setting of rapidly progressing interstitial lung disease. # respiratory failure - at va pt initially presented with symptoms consistent with viral uri, but given severe underlying ild, he rapidly decompensated requiring mechanical ventilation. pt was treated for bacterial pneumonia, pcp (given he is on chronic steroids) and was aggressively diuresed at the va, but still ventilator dependent on admission to . pt also received pulse dose of steroids at va with slight radiological improvement in disease state. pt had numerous barriers to extubation on presentation including high peep requirements, over-sedation and lack of resolution of his disease state. a family meeting occurred and it was agreed that pt would need tracheostomy given prolonged intubation and oversedation. a tracheostomy was performed without complication. he remained ventilator dependent alternating between psv and cmv ventilation, requiring high cuff pressures likely due to anatomical dilatation of the trachea. patient was placed on cefepime for (mdr klebsiella sensitive to meropenem/cefepime). several episodes of emesis complicated the patients respiratory status on . soon after vomiting he desated and required 60% fio2. to prevent further episodes of emesis his tube feed rates were decreased and he was given prn zofran. he has not experienced any further emesis. on minor adjustments were made to peep settings and his fio2 was lowered by to 50%. # altered mental status: on admission, pt was intubated and heavily sedated on propofol with rass neg . reportedly, pt's mental status was normal prior to intubation at va. as per va discharge summary, there was no reason for pt to have experienced an anoxic injury throughout hospital course. however, during va course, pt had been weaned off propofol and was "awake but not alert" on . on admission to , pt was heavily sedated. neurology was consulted and felt that initial exam was consistent with global encephalopathy secondary to being chronically sedated on fentanyl, versed and propofol in a person with a large body habitus. tsh was unremarkable. a ct brain was performed on admission that was unrevealing and on a cta head was performed which was also unremarkable. 72 hrs of continuous eeg monitoring was done and did not show any epileptiform activity but did show moderate to severe diffuse cerebral dysfunction of non-specific etiology. after tracheostomy, pt was weaned off of sedation and started on haldol iv tid. he slowly became less agitated, but remained minimally interactive on examinations. mild improvement noted with localizing tactile stimuli and tracking staff across room. an mri was performed that revealed no acute/subacute intracranial process, potential evidence small vessel disease. the patient has been intermittently responsive since responding to some simple commands such as finger squeezing and occasional head nodding yes/no. his prolonged period of unresponsiveness could be due to patient having a large volume of distribution (large body habitus), with sedatives now wearing off. # - pt was spiking fevers earlier in hospital course, now has normal bp. diffuse infiltrates on repeat ct, in addition to worsening basilar atelectasis. sputum growing mdr klebsiella sensitive to and cefepime. will give cefepime 1g q12 for 2 weeks. concerns about aspiration after episodes of emesis on . the pateint will need to continue cefepime until and vancomycin until . # bacteremia - staph. epidermidis grown on in 1 of 2 bottles. will need 2 week course of iv vancomycin which was started on and should be complete on . blood culture from revealed no growth. \ # polymyalgia rheumatica - pt was treated with methylprednisolone x3 days at va. was previously treated with prednisone 15mg po daily, but was never given pcp . on admission his crp and esr were markedly elevated, and we were concerned for possible flare of pmr. he was continued on home dose steroids of 15mg daily. #atrial fibrillation - on admission to , pt was not being actively anticoagulated for his known afib. despite persistent afib, his rates remained normal without av

Medical Report: allergies: iodine; iodine containing / penicillins attending: chief complaint: fever major surgical or invasive procedure: 1. picc line placement 2. central line placement 3. hemodialysis line removal 4. cardiopulmonary resuscitation 5. intubation 6. pericardiocentesis history of present illness: 77m with h/o esrd on hd (t/th/sa at , nephrologist, missed session day of admission), htn, who presented to ed with fever to 100.4f at home, productive cough and congestion x 4-5 days. he admits myalgias, decreased energy, and poor appetite. he vomited a few times, but in context of paroxysms of coughing. due to these symptoms, he did not go to hd on the day of admission. his wife had similar symptoms last week. he states that he has not felt sob at home, but that once arriving in the ed, he has felt a bit sob, better when sitting upright. he had an influenza vaccination , and a pneumovax in . he denied any lightheadedness, chest pain/pressure, abdominal pain, nausea, increased output from his ostomy bag, or urinary symptoms. initial labs were notable for wbc 6.7 with 91%n, and lactate 2.1. cxr demonstrated mild interstitial edema and minimal blunting of costophrenic angles bilaterally, with possible mild retrocardiac opacity. blood cultures were sent, and he was given a dose of vancomycin and levofloxacin. of note, he has a recently matured av graft (placed ) which has been used for hd over the last 2-3 weeks, with plans to d/c his r permacath line in the near future. he was admitted to the medical service for further evaluation and management. . while on the floor, pt had recurrent fevers (up to 102.4 today), and blood cx's grew out 4/4 bottles coag neg staph from . he was treated with vanc, as well as 1 dose of gent. his r sided permacath was pulled, which also grew coag negative staph. he continued to spike fevers despite abx treatment, and today his sbp dropped to the 70's after returning from dialysis (reportedly no fluid was removed during dialysis). he also had worsening mental status, so a neurology consult was called to evaluate for possibility of septic emboli (tte could not rule out vegetation). past medical history:

congestion, cough, and malaise. . 1. cardiac arrest. on the day of death, mr. was completing his final inpatient hemodialysis before his expected discharge. immediately after completing the session, he became hypotensive with sbp in the 80s. he was noted to be in a fib w/ rvr. fluids were given back wide open and he was given 5 mg iv lopressor. plan was to obtain abg and bedside echo, but before these could happen he became unresponsive and pulseless. a code blue was called. central access was obtained via the femoral vein, as his picc was not flushing. he was given atropine x1 and epinephrine x3, and calcium gluconate. initially he remained in a fib with a rate around 40 bpm; this was a pea. however, he developed vt after ~15 minutes. he was shocked three times at 300, 300, and 360 without response. bedside echo showed the stable pericardial effusion; an empiric pericardiocentesis was performed with minimal fluid return. the code was called after 30 minutes of pulselessness. death was confirmed by bedside echo which showed no cardiac activity. time of death was 5:05 pm. permission for an autopsy was obtained from his wife. . 2. sepsis. in addition to the fever, he was noted to be hypotensive. blood cultures from grew oxacillin sensitive coagulase negative staphylococcus. his perm-a-cath was removed by surgery on the evening of ; this also grew coagulase-negative staph, and is the presumed source. he was given gentamicin x 1 dose for synergistic coverage. tte equivocal regarding endocarditis/valvular abscess/vegetation, so tee was performed and was negative for vegetation. the patient's surveillance blood cultures were negative since . he was started on vancomycin on and was planned to complete a 3 week course on ; the vanc was dosed at dialysis. his av graft was also imaged, and was found to be patent and without evidence of infection. gentamicin was discontinued given exclusion of endocarditis. sputum cultures were negative but the patient was started empirically on meropenem for hospital acquired pneumonia. he completed a 7-day course of meropenem on . a picc line was placed during his hospitalization. . 3. atrial fibrillation with rvr. he had this paroxysmally. he did have several episodes of rvr during which he typically became dyspneic with occasional chest pain. these episodes responded to iv lopressor and he was ruled out for mi with serial cardiac enzymes. he was given aspirin instead of warfarin for anticoagulation due to a history of gi bleeds from polyps. he was effectively rate controlled with metoprolol, eventually at a higher dose of 50mg tid. the patient initially had elevated troponins from baseline on micu admission, and some st depressions in anterior and lateral leads. cardiology was consulted and felt it was demand ischemia in setting of hypotension/sepsis, and did not warrant heparinization. regarding the atrial fibrillation, cardiology did not feel he would benefit from d/c cardioversion as he returns to sinus rhythm spontaneously quite often and anti-arrhythmic therapy would be too difficult to manage in setting of renal failure and frequent episodes of bradycardia. therefore, his lopressor was titrated as tolerated. . 4. pericarditis. a pericardial rub was noted on exam and an echo showed a moderate pericardial effusion without evidence of tamponade. given some pleuritic chest pain, he was thought to have pericarditis. this was treated with salsalate. as for the effusion, the patient was hemodynamically stable. the patient was dialysed daily to optimize volume status. . 5. dyspnea. this was thought to reflect mild volume overload from missing his outpatient hd. it did improve after hemodialysis. some residual dyspnea with exertion was noted at the end of his stay, which was thought to be due to deconditioning. he had no evidence of tamponade and had completed a course for pneumonia. . 6. esrd secondary to htn. calcium carbonate was discontinued per renal. as above, he was dialyzed daily for a period, but was planned to return to his usual t/th/sat schedule. he was given nephrocaps and sevelamer. . 6. ppx: ppi, pneumoboots . 7. code: full . 8. dispo: he expired

tylenol prn. 4. multivitamins. initial physical examination: patient was awake, alert, oriented x3 in no apparent distress upon arrival to . pulse was 66 in sinus rhythm, blood pressure was 149/54, respiratory rate 19, and oxygen saturation of 98%. neurologically, awake, alert, cooperative, and oriented x3. heent: pupils are equal, round, and reactive to light and accommodation. extraocular movements are intact. normocephalic, atraumatic. neck was without jugular venous distention or masses. lungs were clear to auscultation bilaterally. heart was regular, rate, and rhythm, s1, s2. there was a 3/6 systolic murmur heard loudest at the right second intercostal space. abdomen: positive bowel sounds, soft, nontender, nondistended. no costovertebral tenderness. extremities are without clubbing, cyanosis, or edema. electrocardiogram: electrocardiogram showed t-wave inversions in v2-v3. x-rays: chest x-ray at the outside hospital was reported to show mild congestive heart failure. hospital course: the patient was admitted on . patient ruled in for a non-st elevation myocardial infarction with a peak troponin of 1.58. patient was taken to the cardiac catheterization laboratory on and in the cardiac catheterization laboratory the patient was found to have a left ventricular ejection fraction at 50%, a 50% left main coronary artery lesion, 90% long mid lad lesion, 80% ostial om-1 lesion, and 80% proximal right coronary artery lesion with a pulmonary capillary wedge pressure of 18, and a lvedp of 16. patient had an echocardiogram subsequent to her cardiac catheterization which showed a depressed ejection fraction at 35% with anterior wall hypokinesis. the patient was referred to cardiac surgery for evaluation. the patient was determined to be a surgical candidate. the patient was taken to the operating room on for a cabg x3, lima to lad, saphenous vein graft to om, and saphenous vein graft to distal right coronary artery with dr. . please see operative note for further details. the patient was transferred to the intensive care unit in stable condition on milrinone and neo-synephrine. the patient was weaned and extubated from mechanical ventilation on postoperative day #1. on postoperative day #1, the patient was noted to be increasingly lethargic, initially attributed to narcotics. narcotics were reversed with narcan, however, the patient continued to be lethargic. on postoperative day #3, the patient went for a stat head ct scan without contrast due to her continued lethargy. the ct scan showed a large area of hypoattenuation within the distribution of the right middle cerebral artery and the right posterior cerebral artery with foci of high attenuation in the region of the temporal of the right lateral ventricle that represented associated intraparenchymal hemorrhage. there was evidence of significant mass effect with effacement of the sulci on the right and significant right to left shift. no evidence of uncal or cerebellar herniation. no evidence of hydrocephalus. neurosurgery was consulted upon evaluation of the ct scan for evaluation of the swelling and mass effect seen on ct scan. neurosurgery recommended iv decadron. felt that there was not a need for any surgical intervention, and recommended serial ct scans. at this time, the patient was noted on physical examination to not be following commands, was positive for doll's eyes. had purposeful movement of her right upper extremity. minimal movement of her left lower extremity to painful stimuli. toes are upgoing on left lower extremity. patient was noted to have a slight gag. neurology consult recommended serial neurological examinations and serial ct scans. it was also recommended to maintain patient's systolic blood pressure in the 140-160 range. on postoperative day #4, patient's neurologic examination began to improve. the patient continued to have a left facial droop. patient had gross motor movement of her left upper and left lower extremity and purposeful movement with fine motor movement of right upper and lower extremities. it was recommended to continue on the decadron. ct scan of the head showed no change. no significant bleed, and no evidence of herniation. patient's neurological status continued to improve over the next several days. it was noted that the patient had an elevated white blood cell count thought to be attributed to the steroids, however, the patient was pancultured and all cultures were negative for any infectious process. on postoperative day #5, the patient continues to improve from a neurologic standpoint. neurology felt that it was appropriate to discontinue the decadron. patient had a feeding tube placed for nutritional supplementation. postoperative day #6, the patient underwent a peg with dr. . patient tolerated this procedure well with no postoperative complications. patient was started on tube feeds. urinalysis from postoperative day #5 showed evidence of trace leukocyte esterase. patient was started on levofloxacin and completed a five day course. on postoperative day #8, the patient underwent a video fluoroscopic swallowing evaluation by the speech pathologist which showed overall mild oropharyngeal dysphagia characterized by reduced bolus control and formation with premature spill-over of liquids, oral residue and a mild delay in swallow initiation. no aspiration occurred during the study. it was felt that the patient was safe to start taking po nutrition. they recommended a diet of soft solids, thin liquids, whole pills with liquids, basic aspiration precautions. it is recommended that patient remain upright for all meals and followup speech therapy services. the patient was continued on tube feeding as patient was unable to take full adequate nutrition. on postoperative day #11, the patient underwent a carotid ultrasound which showed no flow limiting stenosis in either the right or left carotid arteries. the patient's pacing wires were removed on postoperative day #9 without complication. by postoperative day #11, patient had progressed to significantly increased fine and gross motor movement of her left upper extremity and lower extremities with significant improvement in speech. the neurology service felt the patient was stable from a neurologic point-of-view and signed off. recommended that patient follow up with dr. upon discharge from rehabilitation. patient began having episodes of diarrhea. a culture for clostridium difficile was sent. patient was empirically started on flagyl. the clostridium difficile culture subsequently came back negative and the flagyl was stopped. on postoperative day #12, patient began complaining of nausea and refused to take po. patient was medicated with zofran and tigan with some improvement in her nausea. patient underwent a ct scan of her abdomen to rule out intraabdominal process. ct scan showed no evidence of pancreatitis. normal bowel and no evidence of any intraabdominal process. the gi service was consulted and recommended symptomatic treatment. thought that the nausea was multifactorial. patient's nausea continued to improve over the next several days and had disappeared by postoperative day #14, was able to eat and tolerate tube feedings without complaints of nausea. on postoperative day #14, patient was able to ambulate with assistance and with a walker approximately 100 feet, and on postoperative day #15, the patient was cleared for discharge to rehabilitation. condition on discharge: temperature max 98.2, pulse 67, sinus rhythm, blood

pulmonary fibrosis and bronchiectasis, with subsequent complications of tuberculosis in and aspergillosis in , for which she required a left pneumonectomy. a tracheostomy had been placed at this time, and the patient was oxygen dependent. the patient had been functioning fairly well until , when she was hospitalized at for pulmonary complications. following this hospitalization, the patient was transferred in to a facility for attempted weaning, then again was admitted to , where she again failed weaning. this hospital course was complicated by a labile fluid status, labile potassium levels ranging between 3.0 to 7.9 with subsequent associated arrhythmias, constipation, and also during this hospitalization she had tracheostomy pain secondary to a posterior tracheal ulcer, which was felt to be an early tracheoesophageal fistula. a follow-up bronchoscopy had revealed that this ulcer had healed. the patient was then discharged to center for continued ventilatory weaning and intensive rehabilitation. the patient has now been weaned to pressure support at night, and a trach collar during the daytime. upon arrival to the medical intensive care unit, the patient reports feeling well, and is without complaints. at the current time, she has tracheostomy and is now admitted for a possible revision to a shiley tracheostomy to facility her ability to verbalize. past medical history: 1.

remained stable or worsened slightly since. findings are consistent with pulmonary edema, including noncardiogenic causes, including ingestion and drug reaction, as well as pulmonary hemorrhage or unusual condition such as chronic or acute eosinophilic pneumonia. ------ ct abdomen and pelvis : impression: 1. limited examination secondary to lack of intravenous contrast and opacification of small bowel with oral contrast. possible short segment of small bowel wall thickening in the left mid abdomen. the differential diagnosis is broad and includes infectious, ischemic and inflammatory etiologies for enteritis. 2. rectal wall thickening and perirectal stranding suggestive of proctitis. 3. ascites and anasarca. lack of intravenous contrast, limits sensitivity for the detection of a small intra-abdominal abscess. no large intra-abdominal abscess. 4. bilateral pleural effusions with bibasilar consolidations and scattered ground glass opacities suspicious for pneumonia. 5. unchanged bilateral nonobstructive renal calculi. 6. right renal low attenuation lesion, incompetely characterized, likely representing a cyst. ------- cxr : impression: probable marginal improvement in extent of pneumonia. ------- mri c-spine : conclusion: mild degenerative disc disease with a small midline protrusion at c6-7 that does not contact the spinal cord. the study is limited in quality due to motion artifact, but there is no definite evidence of neural foraminal encroachment. brief hospital course: this is a 47 year old man with history of type i diabetes mellitus found unresponsive at home with hyperglycemia and metabolic acidosis, likely in dka, also found to have multifocal pna and acute renal failure/metabolic acidosis. 1) diabetic ketoacidosis: pt with a history of type i diabetes mellitus that has been poorly controlled in the past with multiple hospital admission for dka. as per hpi pt found unresponsive with significantly elevated blood sugar transferred from osh for intensivist management of dka. dka likely secondary to infection, with possible sources being pneumonia +/- recent tooth extraction. patient admitted to the medical icu and insulin drip initiated. endocrine consult service immediately became involved in hospital course. patient eventually transitioned to lantus and humalog sliding scale. given significant renal failure patient's insulin regimen has required close monitoring and daily adjustments. at this time renal function continues to improve. anticipate that lantus dose will need to be increased. currently on lantus 12 qhs and relatively aggressive humalog sliding scale. please monitor blood glucose carefully and adjust both lantus and humalog as needed. would suggest that patient have diabtes follow up at following discharge from rehab. 2) respiratory failure: pt found unresponsive at home and intubated at osh and remained intubated when transferred to the micu. found to have combination of pulmonary edema and bilateral pulmonary infiltrates. was diuresed which improved respiratory status. determined to have sputum cultures positive for mrsa and treated for multifocal pneumonia with vancomycin and zosyn. patient's respiratory status eventually permitted extubation. he was transferred to the medical floor on 2-3l of oxygen via nasal cannula and o2 sats have beens stable around 94-96%. description of penumonia treatment regimen listed below. would suggest continuing to wean oxygen as tolerated. 3) acute renal failure/ metabolic acidosis: on admission abg was 6.88/23/94/4.3/89% and lactate 2.6. also found to have acute renal failure with a creatinine of 5.1. metabolic acidosis felt to be due to a combination of dka, rhabdomyolysis, infection and question of ingestion. acute renal failure likely secondayr to dehydration and hypotension secondary to dka leading to a pre-renal/atn picture. metabolic significantly improved with resolution of dka as well as treatment pneumonia. he was followed by the renal service who also recommended oral bicarbonate which was discontinued when bicarbonate corrected and renal function improved. renal failure has continued to trend down and is 2.8 at time of discharge. would suggest continuing to follow creatinine. please also monitor bicarbonate and assess for whether oral bicarbonate supplementation needed. continue to renally dose meds and avoid nephrotoxins. 4)multifocal pneumonia/mrsa pneumonia: sputum sample positive for mrsa, sensitive to vancomycin. patient started on vancomycin/zosyn. patient has remained afebrile for nearly his enture time on the medicine . white count is normal at time of discharge. as noted abovepatient will need a total of 14 day course of this antibiotic combination since his last negative sputum cx ().last dose on . vancomycin dosed q48 given gfr of 11 at time of discharge. his next dose should be . 5)diarrhea: patient has had diarrhea since about . he has been negative for cdiff x 4. we do not think this is infectious, likely side effect from antibiotic side effect. however, we have treated him empirically for cdiff with metronidazole. he will finish a 14 day course on that will be finished on . 6) anemia: found to be anemic to 23 and required 1 unit prbc during this admission. had guiac positive stool. feel he likely has gastritis that may be oozing and suggest an egd as an outpatient which will need to be scheduled. please note on day of dc his hct 22. we suggest checking a hct within the next few days to monitor. 7) right upper extremity weakness: pt unable to lift right upper extremity. had cervical mri which was negative for mass or abscess. seen by neuro that felt he has a c5/c6 radiculopathy or an upper trunk plexopathy likely to being found down. he will need to have neurology appointment scheduled 1-2 months from today. 8) chronic neuropathic pain: patient has hx of chronic pain, especially in his back. pain has been managed with fentanyl patches and iv morphine. he should be con on his outpt dose of neurontin 300 mg tid. given patient's questionable hx of substance abuse suggest trying to wean down morphine as tolerated. suspect that pain will improve when patient not bed bound and able to be more mobile. please note he was on percocet 5/325mg qdailyprn prior to admission. 9) scrotal edema: pt has significant pain from scrotal edema which is fluid resucitation and continued volume redistribution. we have started him on lasix 20 mg daily. suggest monitoring creatinine and stopping this medication if worsening cr or if scrotal edema improves. 10) depression: pt continued on his lexapro. he does have a rather flat affect and seems to be rather down given his current situation. suggest coordinating counseling during rehab stay and following discharge. 11) ? vertigo: pt on meclizine 20mg q8prn as an outpt for presumed bppv. we have held this medication given it's sedating effect given he is on other sedating meds. 12) hypertension: patient started on hctz 12.5 mg daily for elevated blood pressure prior to discharge. suggest checking chm 7 to monitor electrolytes. need to be titrated up. patient was a full code during this admission. medications on admission: klonopin 1mg tid fentanyl patch 75mcg td x2 q72h flonase 2 sprays/nostril humalog iss lantus 20 units qhs lexapro 20mg qhs meclazine 20mg q8prn neurontin 300mg tid

Consider the following medical report that includes the patient's historical health records. Use it to predict the disease that the patient is high likely exposed to. Medical Report: history of present illness: this is a 71-year-old female patient with a known history of aortic stenosis reports recent increase in dyspnea on exertion over the past month. she was admitted to the for cardiac catheterization prior to undergoing a scheduled aortic valve replacement. patient at that time denied history of syncope or chest pain. cardiac catheterization performed on revealed a right dominant system with single vessel coronary artery disease, severe aortic stenosis with a calculated aortic valve area of 0.86 cm squared and a mean gradient of 33 mm hg, left ventricular ejection fraction estimated at 58%, and a left ventricular end diastolic pressure of 24. past medical history: patient has a history of supraventricular tachycardia which was treated with atenolol, known aortic stenosis, spastic colon. the patient describes a history of scarlet fever as a child, arthritis of both knees, history of renal calculus, significant hearing loss, cataract surgery, status post d&c, status post bilateral knee replacements, bilateral appendectomies, status post tonsillectomy. allergies: the patient states allergies to biaxin. medications on admission to the hospital: atenolol 25 mg po q day, cholestyramine 4 mg po q day, fosamax 70 mg once a week. she also took nitroglycerin sublingual prn, percocet prn, compazine prn, and serax prn. social history: the patient is retired, former 40 pack year smoker, quit 10 years ago. denies alcohol intake and she is recently widowed. family history: is significant for a mother who died of complications related to a cva. father died of complications related to a cva. physical examination on admission to the hospital: temperature 97.3, blood pressure 128/52, pulse 62 and regular, on room air oxygen saturation is 95% and respiratory rate of 20. neurologically, the patient is alert and oriented with no apparent deficits. heent were unremarkable. pulmonary examination: lungs were clear to auscultation bilaterally. coronary examination was regular, rate, and rhythm with a systolic murmur evident. abdomen was soft, obese, and nontender with positive bowel sounds. her extremities were warm and well perfused. patient was taken to the operating room on where she underwent a minimally invasive aortic valve replacement with a 21 mm - pericardial valve. please refer to operative report for details of surgical procedure and operative event. postoperatively, the patient was transported from the operating room to the cardiac surgery recovery unit on intravenous amiodarone, intravenous levophed, and iv propofol drips. she was initially atrially placed via her temporary epicardial wires. patient was initiated on insulin drip for hyperglycemia at that time. on the night of her surgical day, into the morning of , the patient was noted to have questionable seizure activity. patient's anesthesia drugs were reversed and she was noted to have increased jerky-type movements. emergency neurologic consult was obtained. the patient spiked a fever to 102 at that time, and otherwise remained hemodynamically stable. on the morning of , neurology consult was obtained. patient was started on dilantin for witnessed seizure activity. she was felt to have had partial complex seizures at that time. she had a stable cardiac rhythm at that time and her epicardial wires were discontinued to facilitate emergent mri scan to evaluate the etiology of her seizure activity. the mri from later that morning was suspicious for an acute right middle cerebral artery infarct with a small left hemisphere infarct stressed to embolic events. patient was then initiated on a heparin drip. she was also pancultured for fever and increasing white blood cell counts. these cultures other than a positive urine culture for e. coli ultimately were negative. patient was placed on ceftriaxone empirically pending results of a culture which was sent at that time. patient was transfused to maintain a hematocrit of approximately 30%. she also was placed on intravenous levophed to keep her systolic blood pressure greater than 130 mm hg to optimize cerebral perfusion at the recommendation of the neurology staff. she remained hemodynamically stable, although febrile at times with full ventilator support and no seizure activity noted. the patient continued to be febrile for the next 24 hours or so, and remained on empiric antibiotics pending results of cultures. a repeat ct scan on showed no hemorrhage with no evidence of shift and some, mild edema in the right frontal lobe area. on , patient remains on iv amiodarone drip, although no other vasoactive drips were continued at that time. she remained on some insulin intermittently to treat hyperglycemia. she had some atrial fibrillation also on that day for which she received an additional bolus of iv amiodarone. an electroencephalogram was done at that time which was consistent with mild encephalopathy, however, no focus seen for seizure activity. there are also no clear periods of wakefulness noted at that time. on the following day, , the patient continued with ventilator weaning. required minimal ventilator support, but it was felt inappropriate to extubate her at that time due to patient's inability to protect her airway. she was maintained on dilantin to prevent further seizure activity and her electrolytes were being repleted. she also had some intermittent bursts of atrial fibrillation at that time with rates between the 80s and 120s with ventricular rates. on , the patient showed some signs of wakefulness. she began to nod her head in response to questions asked, although she was noted to have left arm weakness at that time. patient was started on tube feeds which she was tolerating well and appeared to be waking up appropriately. patient at that time later on that day began to follow one-step commands. repeat head ct scan also on the revealed evolution of multiple small right frontal and parietal infarcts. chest x-ray at that time revealed a left lower lobe collapse and some left pleural effusion. the following day on the , patient continued with burst of atrial fibrillation treated with intravenous lopressor and continued on the intravenous amiodarone. chest x-ray showed a persistent left lower lobe collapse with some effusion. on , the patient was much brighter mentally. she was much more interactive with people's surrounding her. she was moving both of her legs. she was moving her right arm freely and moving her left arm, although with less vigor than her right arm. her tube feeds were held, and later morning of , the patient was extubated successfully. on , physical therapy became involved with her care. her intravenous central line has been discontinued and sent for culture which ultimately turned out to be negative, and her ceftriaxone was discontinued since the only positive culture from the previous fever spike was urine, which had been adequately treated. on , the patient had intermittent periods of confusion, however, was overall very interactive with her caregivers. chest x-ray showed a continued left pleural effusion for which a chest tube was placed. she remained at this time in normal sinus rhythm. the following day, , she continued with physical therapy. she was noted to have a large raised area at the superior aspect of her sternal incision with no erythema and she had some serous drainage on the superior aspect of her incision. patient also underwent a bedside swallowing evaluation by the speech and swallowing therapist to evaluate safety of airway protection and risk of aspiration. it was felt that she visually did at least fairly well by her bedside evaluation and a modified barium swallow is recommended to be followed up on. patient's white blood cell count at this time rose to 22,000 and she was again pancultured. she was begun empirically on vancomycin iv and levofloxacin via nasogastric tube at that time due to increasing white blood cell count. also gastroenterology consult was obtained for possible placement of a peg if she were unsuccessful with her barium swallow which was scheduled for the following day. on , the patient did undergo a modified barium swallow, which she passed well, and she was at a low risk for aspiration. she was then supervised. she also began to have very large amounts of diarrhea over the next 24-48 hours. patient has a history of "spastic colon", and however, stated that this was much more significant than her baseline. her white blood cell count had come down minimally to 20.8 thousand, however, she had a fever of 101.7. she was resumed on her cholestyramine and the gastroenterology service was reconsulted on due to increasing diarrhea. three clostridium difficile specimens were sent and were all negative, as well as subsequent stool cultures which also came back negative. neurologically the patient had been waking up significantly on a daily basis. she was much more bright and interactive. she had some left arm weakness, but otherwise was moving her other three extremities fairly well. she was begun on coumadin at the recommendation of the neurology service for her stroke as well as for her history of multiple postoperative episodes of atrial fibrillation. the following day, , the patient continued to remain stable hemodynamically. remained in normal sinus rhythm. white blood cell counts were slowly coming down to 16.9 thousand and all subsequent cultures came back positive. she continued to have some sternal drainage with moderate amounts of erythema around the drainage area and just superior to the top of her sternal wound incision. over the next 48 hours, the patient remained stable. her white blood cell count has been slowly decreasing. she remains alert and oriented. her diarrhea has subsided. her iv heparin drip for anticoagulation was discontinued because her inr had become therapeutic with coumadin dosing, and she remains stable today on and is ready to be discharged to rehabilitation facility to continue with physical therapy and increasing mobility. patient's status today on is as follows: temperature 99.4. patient is in normal sinus rhythm at 82/minute, her blood pressure is 110/54, her oxygen saturation on a 2 liter per minute nasal cannula is 96% with a respiratory rate of 23/minute. most laboratory values are from today, which revealed a white blood cell count of 13.0 thousand, hematocrit of 32.3, platelet count of 480. pt of 20.6, inr of 2.8. sodium of 143, potassium 3.9, chloride of 106, co2 20, bun 14, creatinine 0.7, glucose 99. physical examination: neurologically, the patient is awake, alert, and interactive with some left arm weakness. cardiovascularly, patient remains in normal sinus rhythm, regular s1, s2 with no murmur noted. her respiratory examination is stable. her lungs are clear to auscultation bilaterally. her sternum is stable with a small amount of serous drainage at the top area of her wound. erythema is significantly decreasing on the vancomycin and levofloxacin. patient remains on a cardiac diet with aspiration precautions. the patient is scheduled to have a picc line placed today in the interventional radiology department so that she may continue to receive her vancomycin for another five days. most recent vancomycin levels revealed a trough of 6.8 and a peak of 18.1. most recent dilantin level is 8.6 on . discharge medications: amiodarone 400 mg po q day, dilantin 300 mg po bid, metoprolol 75 mg po bid, aspirin 81 mg po q day,

admitted to the on for a cardiac catheterization. this was significant for severe three vessel disease. given the severity of disease, the cardiac surgical service was consulted for surgical revascualrization. mr. was worked-up in the usual preoperative manner and deemed suitable for surgery. on , mr. was taken to the operating room where he underwent coronary artery bypass grafting to four vessels. please see operative note for details. postoperatively he was taken to the cardiac surgical intensive care unit for monitoring. he was transfused for postoperative anemia. on postoperative day one, mr. neurologically intact and was extubated. aspirin and a statin were resumed. on postoperative day two, he was transferred to the cardiac surgical step down unit for further recovery. he was gently diuresed towards his preoperative weight. the physical therapy service was consulted for assistance with his postoperative strength and mobility. he developed atrial fibrillation which was converted back to normal sinus rhythm with beta blockade and repletion of his electrolytes. he however did not remain in nsr and became hypotensive with his atrial fibbrilation for which he was transferred back to the icu on pod #3. he converted back to nsr with amiodarone and was transferred back to the floor. he was started on heparin and coumadin for his afib. on pod #4, he was put on keflex for a right forearm induration/phlebitis. the phlebtitis appeared to worsen and he was changed to iv vancomycin on pod5. he continued on vancomycin thru pod9, at that time it was decided the phlebitis was largely resolved and he was ready for discharge home on doxycycline with visiting nurse following. medications on admission: aspirin 81 mg toprol xl 100mg daily lipitor 10mg

Consider the following medical report that includes the patient's historical health records. Use it to predict the disease that the patient is high likely exposed to. Medical Report: allergies: hydrochlorothiazide / sesame oil attending: chief complaint: acute cardiac tamponade major surgical or invasive procedure: pulmonary vein isolation pericardiocentesis with drain placement arterial line placement blood transfusion - 1 unit packed red blood cells history of present illness: 63 yo f h/o htn, paf underwent pvi today and during procedure acutely developed hypotension with bradycardia in af which ultimately lead to losing her pulse. cpr was initiated, with two rounds of epinephrine and one round of atropine. with immediate concern for acute cardiac tamponade, a blind pericardiocentesis was attempted, but did not illicit blood. a bed-side echo was performed which showed a large pericardial effusion with tonic compression of the right atrium and right ventricle. pericardial drain was initiated and 700 cc of blood removed from pericardial space. echo then confirmed no active bleeding. o2 sat on blood was c/w arterial saturation. a dopamine gtt was initiated with sbp >100. patient was given protamine to reverse heparin and did not require any blood products. the right femoral vein sheeth was removed, but the left femoral vein line remained. an arterial line was placed. patient was intubated for the procedure and ultimately extubated prior to transfer to the ccu. she was also given 1 gram of ancef prior to transfer. . upon admission to the ccu, initial vitals were: 97.3 66 20 95% on face mask, sbps in the 70s on dopamine. (initially at 8 mcg, however given acute decrease in sbp, dopamine was increased to 10 mcg and bp was >100.) was also given 1.5 liter bolus of ivfs. she c/o pleuritic chest pain. given 30 mg iv toradol with minimal relief and iv morphine prn for further pain control. she also c/o nausea and vomited x 1. resolved with iv zofran. . patient has had a history of palpitations for several years, however, only recently diagnosed with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation in . at that time, she presented in sustained atrial fibrillation and dc cardioversion. she was started on propafenone and then developed recurrent afib 8 weeks later. she returned for a second dc cardioversion. then 3 weeks later she again developed recurrent atrial fibrillation and had another dc cardioversion in . she stopped propafenone in and started flecainide. she subsequently reverted back to afib on flecainide and this was stopped in early and started amiodarone . she has had continued afib since and ultimately underwent pvi. . . on review of systems, s/he denies any prior history of, deep venous thrombosis, pulmonary embolism, bleeding at the time of surgery, myalgias, joint pains, cough, hemoptysis, black stools or red stools. s/he denies recent fevers, chills or rigors. s/he denies exertional buttock or calf pain. all of the other review of systems were negative. . cardiac review of

today c/b acute cardiac tamponade leading to hemodynamic compromise on dopamine s/p percardial drain. # cardiac tamponade - during the patient's pvi, she became hypotensive due to acute cardiac tamponade. she was pulseless for a short period and underwent chest compressions as well as 2 rounds of epinephrine and 1 dose of atropine. a pericardiocentesis with pericardial drain was performed with immediate return of ~700cc of oxygenated blood and return of pulse. the patient was started on dopamine and transported to the ccu for monitoring. pulsus paradoxus was monitored with an arterial line and was < 12. overnight, the drain put out 45cc of fluid, so the drain was pulled the following morning. the dopamine was able to be discontinued the following afternoon and blood pressures remained stable with ivf hydration, with sbp in the 100s-110s. her hct was followed and she was noted to have a 10 point hct drop overnight. this was thought to be primarily dilutional as the day before, she received 5.5l of iv fluids. she received 1 unit of prbc and had an appropriate increase in hct. her repeat hematocrit checks were stable and she needed no more transfusions. she received 2 days of antibiotic prophylaxis with ancef for her lines. her metoprolol and dilitazem were held as her pressure and rates were controlled and did not require addition of more agents at the time of discharge. she had follow-up appointments made with her outpatient cardiologist on , and her pcp on wednesday, . dr. office was to get back with her regarding ep follow-up. she was also instructed to have a hematocrit checked on . # atrial fibrillation - the pvi was not able to be completed due to the tamponade. she remained in atrial fibrillation during the hospitalization. she was restarted on amiodarone and a lower dose of digoxin. her heart rates were ranging from 90-115 on those medications. she was evaluated by physical therapy and her heart rate did not increase while she was walking. she was not started on her home metoprolol or diltiazem per electrophysiology recommendations. her coumadin was held as her inr was elevated. she was instructed to restart her coumadin at 2.5mg daily, and to have an inr checked on , then to continue her coumadin per her cardiologist recommendations. # chest pain - the patient did complain of sternal chest pain after being admitted to the ccu. her pain was initially controlled with iv morphine; she was then started on indomethacin 25mg tid for 7 days for post-tamponade pericarditis. she also developed left sided pleuritic chest pain which improved greatly by the day of discharge and was also controlled with indomethacin. medications on admission: amiodarone 200 mg digoxin 250 mcg daily (pm) diltiazem 240 mg daily (am) metoprolol succinate 100 mg coumadin 2.5 mg mwf, 5 mg all other days discharge medications: 1. amiodarone 200 mg tablet sig: one (1) tablet po twice a day. 2. indomethacin 25 mg capsule sig: one (1) capsule po

discharge disposition: home discharge diagnosis: primary: cardiac tamponade, atrial fibrillation secondary: hypertension discharge condition: mental status: clear and coherent. level of consciousness: alert and interactive. activity status: ambulatory - independent. discharge instructions: dear ms. , it was a pleasure taking care of you during your hospitalization. you were admitted to undergo a pulmonary vein isolation, a procedure to treat your atrial fibrillation. during the procedure, you had blood fill the sac the heart sits in, which made it difficult for your heart to beat. you had cpr performed which kept blood moving through your body. a catheter was placed in the sac and drained the blood which relieved the pressure around your heart. you were started on a medication, dopamine, that helps increase blood pressure and were monitored in the cardiac care unit. we were able to stop the dopamine and your blood pressure remained stable. your blood levels were decreased so we gave you a blood transfusion. this was likely because of you getting fluids through your iv that diluted your blood. the physical therapists saw you and cleared you to go home. we changed two medications: --> decreased your digoxin to 125mcg by mouth once a day --> decreased your coumadin to 2.5 mg by mouth daily --> please have your inr checked on and then take your coumadin as instructed by your cardiologist. we added one medication: indomethacin 25mg by mouth three times a day for 5 days we stopped two medications: --> metoprolol --> diltiazem these medications were stopped per ep recommendations as your heart rate was fairly controlled, ranging from 90-120. please follow up with your scheduled appointments. if you have any concerns this weekend, you can call dr. office to reach the covering physician, . . dr. office number is . followup instructions: dr. office will call you on to schedule your follow-up appointment. if you don't hear back from them, please call his office at . please follow-up with dr. on , at 10:45am. please follow-up with dr. on wednesday, at 9:15am. procedure: pericardiocentesis excision or destruction of other lesion or tissue of heart,

cv: * ischemia/cad: on presentation to the er, mr. was hypertensive and had an ekg which showed sinus rhythm with q waves in iii, avf. he then developed worsening substernal chest pain, diaphoresis, and shortness of breath. a repeat ekg was performed and showed new st elevations of 2-3mm in v1-v4, likely demonstrating anterior stemi. his rhythm deteriorated into ventricular fibrillation and a code blue was called. he was given asa 325mg, nitro paste, lopressor 5mg iv and 25mg po, lidocaine 100mg, epinephrine, and amiodarone 150mg iv; he was started on both an integrillin gtt and a heparin gtt; and he was intubated with use of etomidate and succinylcholine. a normal sinus rhythm was restored with cpr and defibrillation x1 and he was brought emergently to the cath lab. he first had a des placed in his lad, which was felt to be the most critical lesion. he spent the night in the ccu and once stable, was able to be extubated without any complications. he then went back to the cath lab on and had a des placed in his lcx. his ces peaked at ck 2971, mb 100, and trop of 4.24 on and then trended down throughout the remainder of his hospital stay. he was started on plavix, aspirin, statin, bblocker, and ace-i. he tolerated these medications well and his bp and hr were under good control on discharge. . * pump: he had an echo on which showed an ef of 30-35% with severe hk/ak of anterior septum, anterior wall, and apex. he was started on anticoagulation with coumadin for his wall motion abnormalities, bridging with lovenox until his inr was therapeutic between . he was continued on anticoagulation despite bleeding into his tongue as it appeared that the bleeding had subsided and his swallowing and talking abilities had improved by discharge. . * rhythm: on arrival in the er, mr. was in nsr w/ what appeared to be an acute mi, but he soon developed worsening chest pain and went into v-fib arrest. he was defibrillated x1 at 200j and cpr was initiated, with restoration of normal sinus rhythm. he was then immediaately to the cath lab. post-cath, he had bouts of nsvr and ventricular ectopy, but these arrhythmias resolved over time and by discharge, his tele showed mostly nsr. . # hypertriglyceridemia: when assessing mr. risk factors for heart disease, it was discovered that he has a hypertriglyceridemia (tg of 314), likely familial vs. hereditary dyslipidemia. as an outpatient, he was on welchol. a high dose statin was added for his acute coronary syndrome, but a fibrate was held as his transaminases were already elevated (alt 62, ast 132). an appointment was made for him in lipid clinic with dr. and it was recommended that he have his children and other first degree family members screened for triglyceride abnormalities. an appointment was also made for him with a nutritionist from lipid clinic, but the patient was also given the name of another nutritionist, , in for a sooner appointment. the decision to add a fibrate was deferred to the outpatient setting, after he has been stabilized on the statin. . # hyperglycemia: mr. had multiple elevated serum glucoses, so he was put on qid fingersticks and a humalog insulin sliding scale. a hemoglobin a1c was checked to see if his condition was chronic and his a1c was 6.6. it was recommended that he follow-up with a nutritionist and his pcp for possible medical management. . # htn: mr. had htn as an outpatient and was on norvasc previously. post-mi, his bp was low but he was able to tolerate a bblocker and ace-i without any problems. . # fever: mr. had a fever one evening after his first catheterization. the team felt that it was most likely a post-mi fever, but he had a cxr, blood cx, ua and urine cx drawn. his cxr showed resolution of a previously seen r upper lobe opacity, his blood cx were negative, his ua was unremarkable, but his urine cx grew proteus. it was repeated and again grew 10-100,000 colonies, so he was started on cefzil as an outpatient. ent was consulted while the patient was in house for his tongue hematoma and they recommended starting clindamycin empirically as he had visible bite marks on the l side of his tongue which could be a source of infection. he was afebrile for the remainder of his hospital course. . # anemia: his hct on admission was 43, but dropped to 36.7 after his v-fib arrest and first catheterization. his hct remained between 33 and 37 throughout the remainder of his hospital course. his anemia was first attributed to blood loss from his catheterizations, but when it persisted and his tongue became more swollen, the team became concerned that he may have bleeding into his tongue from the anticoagulation and anti-platelet regimen he was on for his acs. it was stable during his hospitalization and it was recommended that he undergo a workup for anemia as an outpatient if it does not resolve after his hematoma improves. . # tongue hematoma: he had a tongue hematoma that was sustained during his v-fib arrest. his tongue unfortunately became more swollen and ecchymotic, likely exacerbated by asa, plavix, and lovenox/coumadin. he was seen by ent who recommended iv steroids x 24 hours for the swelling and clindamycin empirically for possible infection. his tongue improved dramatically after 24 hrs on steroids and he was again able to speak clearly and tolerate pos. he was discharged on a 1 week course of clindamycin and will follow-up with dr. in 2 weeks. . # prophylaxis: anticoagulated w/ lovenox (as well as coumadin), ppi, bowel regimen. . # communications: with his wife, who is his hcp . # code: full . # dispo: he was discharged home on lovenox and coumadin and will follow-up with dr. on friday for an inr check. . #

toradol x3 days and dilaudid. as of he has been maintained on intermittent ativan and morphine for sedation/pain control. he was transferred to the floor on with tylenol, ibuprofen, and a clonidine patch for pain control. . cv: on hd , he began having rapid afib. he received lopressor iv and diltiazem, but did not seem to be responding. cardiology was consulted and it was recommended he be cardioverted. an echo was perfomed prior and cardioversion was attempted twice, but was unsucessful. he was started on an heparin drip, amiodarone & esmolol drips. he remained in afib and converted to nsr on after being placed on a procainamide drip. he continued on amio and lopressor for rate control and heparin drip for anticoagulation. on , he was transitioned to po amiodarone. he reconverted to afib after his open g-tube on and required rebolusing of amiodarone. however, he eventually converted back to nsr and was maintained on po amiodarone. throughout his icu course, he did require some low dose neosynephrine for pressure control but was able to be weaned off. he was transferred to the floor on po amiodarone and metoprolol and has remained in normal sinus rhythm. he was transferred to icu on for a-fib. he was started on diltiazem drip and converted to sinus rhythm. he is currently sinus on po lopressor and po amiodarone. . pulm: he was tachypnic and developed pulmonary effusions. he received lasix for diuresis. he was intubated for the cardioversion. he was eventually extubated on . cxr showed bilateral atelectasis with decreased lung volumes. on he had progressive increased work of breathing and tachypnea. cxr demonstrated even lower lung volumes and he was electively re-intubated. he was initially requiring high ventilator support but he was progressively weaned down. he received an open tracheostomy on by the trauma surgery team. he was able to be weaned to trach mask and is currently tolerated a passy-muir valve. on the floor he was triggered twice on for decreasing oxygen saturations. the first event occurred after a vigorous bowel movement and he returned to baseline within minutes. a cxr revealed bilateral pleural effusions. the second trigger occurred after a coughing fit caused an episode of emesis. due to concerns for aspiration, a repeat speech and swallow evaluation was ordered, which he passed. he is receiving suctioning every 4 hours by the nurse or md. . gi: on admission he was made npo, started on ivf resuscitation and tpn (goals: 1.5gaa/kg, 25kcal/kg). he was improving and ngt was d/c'd on hd 9 and he was started on sips. however, his abdominal distension increased and he was made npo and an ngt was replaced. kub on demonstrated dilated small bowel loops consistent with an ileus. his ngt output gradually decreased and he started to pass flatus. the ngt was removed on . on an open gj-tube was placed. during surgery ~2l ascites were drained. he was started on peptamen tube feeds the next day and was eventually advanced to goal. he underwent placement of percutaneous cholecystostomy tube and he continues to have significant amount of bile draining from this tube. we have been refeeding this bile through through his j-tube. please continue to do the same. he passed his speech and swallow evaluation and is able to eat soft foods with thin liquids. . pancreatitis: his amylase and lipase trended down and his abdominal pain resolved. a us on showed no evidence of gallstone or intra/extrahepatic biliary dilatation. ct abd on demonstrated: interval progression of changes of acute pancreatitis, including hypoenhancement of the pancreatic head suspicious for pancreatic necrosis; probable developing pseudocysts about the pancreas and gastric fundus, but no walled-off collections suggestive of abscess; increased ascites; dilated small bowel loops with air-fluid levels suggestive of ileus. repeat ct abd that showed marked interval progression of peripancreatic fluid collections which now appear much larger and more organized; one of these involves the inferior right lobe of the liver and a distended gallbladder. the peripancreatic fluid collection (below liver) and gallbladder were percutaneously drained on , yielding ~500cc serosanguinous fluid and 270cc sludgey bile, respectively. he will need a follow up ct scan of pancrease 1 month from time of discharge. he will need follow up with the result of ct. . fen: he was maintained on bowel rest and tpn until resolution of his acute pancreatitis. he was started on tube feeds 24 hours after he received an open g-tube on . he became hypernatremic on and this resolved with free water boluses. . heme: as of , he was transfused a total of 4 units of blood for anemia (i.e. hct <22). he was maintained on a heparin drip given his runs of afib. goal ptt was 60-80. he was eventually bridged over to coumadin (first dose ). . id: since his admission, his wbc was elevated to ~20's with the differential significant for mostly pmns. he also had intermittent fever spikes. he was initially started on empiric antibiotics including vanco/zosyn/flagyl. the only cultures that grew out were a bal (1 out of 4) with mrsa on and sputum on with rare yeast. for the presumed mrsa pneumonia, he was treated with vancomycin for 8 days (id service was in agreement). he was started on meropenem and there was an associated significant decrease in his wbc. this was stopped after ~2weeks of treatment. on , his wbc began to climb once again. he was pancultured and lines were resited. on vancomycin was restared for gram positives in sputum. final cultures showed mssa and gram negative rods. vancomycin was discontinued and nafcillin and cipro was started on . he should continue w/ nafcillin and cipro until the . he continues to have leukocytosis and we believe this is secondary to his chronic pancreatitis. . endo: he was on an insulin drip for bg control. his hga1c was 7.2 around the time of admission. he was eventually switched to sq insulin. cushings work-up was negative. . msk: he had question of warmth in r knee and given his history of bilateral knee replacements, a xray and orthopedics consult were obtained. the r knee xray showed a large joint effusion with ntact total knee arthroplasty without signs for loosening. ortho did not feel an infection was present and that any intervention was required on . his knees were stable ever since. . gu: urine output was monitored with a foley and it was marginally adequate throughout his stay. a lasix drip was started to aid in diuresis. his creatinine bumped up on from 1.0 to 1.4 and continued to increase. his lasix drip was held. he has not required diuresis recently and has been autodiuresing. . micro (recent): bal: mssa and sparse gnr x 2. urine: ng

stool guaic positive. she recieved 1 unit of blood and her hct remained relatively stable over the weekend. . while in icu, urinalysis revealed uti. initiated treatment with ciprofloxacin for 7 days. uti may be responsible for leukocytocis, and resolved without further intervention. . as the patient improved, vital signs and diarrhea improved she was transferred back to the floor on for further work-up and care. rectal tube and urinary catheters were discontinued. medicine course assessment and plan: the patient is a 58-year-old female with a history of htn and hyperlipidemia who has recently experienced bouts of secretory diarrhea for which she is being worked up for a gastrinoma. . # gastrinoma. per gi, a gastrinoma was confirmed by gastrin and secretin tests. octreotide scan demonstrates uptakes at areas in kidney. an eus found nothing in pancreas. surgery was consulted and requested cta scan. though the patient has been hesitant to undergo the procedure, she has agreed to have a cta. the read of the cta showed no focal lesion in the pancreas. the patient has been set up for an appointment with dr. to determine what her surgical options might be. # diarrhea, likely secondary to gastrinoma during her stay on the medicine floor, the patient did not have any recurrence of diarrhea. she did not need to use the tincture of opium that was available to her prn for diarrhea. she also denied any abdominal pain, nausea, or vomiting. the patient was transitioned from iv dose of pantoprazole to the same dose po, based on gi recommendation. the transition to po went well, without any apparent side effects or recurrence of diarrhea, and her bowel movements were regular. . # hypokalemia: likely secondary to gi loss. the goal was keeping potassium above 4.0 and magnesium above 2.0 both potassium and magnesium had to be replenished on three days to return them to normal limits. . # anemia: patient received transfusion in icu. hematocrit has trended upward since the transfusion, then leveled off. patient asymptomatic. the patient's hematocrit remained steady, with no suggestion of a gi bleed, imprtant beacuse of her history of perforation and the recent diagnosis of gastrinoma. . # tachycardia, likely secondary to dehydration: the patient did not experience any sustained tachycardia or hypotension during her medicine admission. . # uti: on , the urine culture was positive for > 100,000 e. coli. this e. coli was susceptible to ciprofloxacin. patient completed a 7-day cycle of ciprofloxacin. she denied any dysuria or hematuria. . # leukocytosis, resolved for the last 6 days of medicine admission: c. diff and all stool cultures negative. blood cultures showed no growth. blood culture showed no growth. have been secondary to uti.
