Consultations Dr. for left heel ulcer  Hospital Course Patient is an 83-year-old male who was admitted on 1/29/22 from Nursing Home for severe sepsis secondary to UTI and resolving COVID-19. He was significantly dehydrated with an AKIN stage 3 AKI. Fluid resuscitation was initiated with NS but was changed to 1/2NS and then LR due to hypernatremia. Patient was started on meropenem and vancomycin for empiric antibiotics. Urine and blood cultures grew Staph epidermidis sensisitive to vancomycin, thus meropenem was discontinued. Repeat blood cultures were negative as of 3 midnights upon discharge. A PICC line was placed for need for 2 weeks of IV antibiotics due to bacteremia. Antibiotics were de-escalated to cefazolin per pharmacy.  A foley catheter was placed on admission. Patient failed a urination trial and had >630cc retention. Foley was placed again and will be left indwelling upon discharge.  It was found that patient's Alk Phos was elevated and has been elevated for the last 4 years in our system. A GGT was ordered and resulted as elevated, indicating likely liver origin of Alk Phos.

We will discharge the patient on their home medications as reconciled above. We will send the patient home with cefazolin 2 g q.8 hours IV on discharge. We recommend the patient follow up with Dr., general surgery, in 2 weeks for left wound follow-up. A left lower leg doppler should be considered outpatient. We also recommend he see Urology, likely Dr., as soon as possible for urinary retention requiring Foley catheter upon discharge.  His GGT was elevated at 92 and his Alk Phos was 744 on discharge, after PICC line placement. I recommend scheduling an outpatient RUQ ultrasound to evaluate his liver.  New blood cultures will need to be drawn at the end of antibiotics to ensure clearance of bacteremia.  MED CHANGES: -Continue cefazolin 2g Q8H via PICC line until 01/14/2023. -Add Ensure t.i.d. with meals  We thank Dr. and his team for the assistance in caring for this patient.  The patient was evaluated by Dr. and the plan of care was discussed with this resident.
