Clinical narrative: Document Type: History and Physical   Document Subject: History & Physical Note   Performed By: MD on December 08, 2023 18:28  Verified By: MD on December 08, 2023 18:28   Encounter Info: Hospital, Inpatient, 12/08/23 -     * Final Report *  Document Has Been Revised          History of Present Illness/Subjective     Chief complaint:  shortness of breath and bloody vomitus   HPI:Patient is a 81-year-old male patient with history of COPD diabetes hyperlipidemia left renal mass, chronic right heart failure, coronary artery disease, anemia, history of GI bleed presented to emergency department with a chief complaint of vomiting.  Patient is accompanied by his wife who is the historian and who reports 1 episode of projectile bloody vomitus this morning.  She also brought in some samples of blood soaked mucus from the vomitus.  She reports that his shortness of breath has been slightly worse over the last couple of weeks since being diagnosed with pneumonia on November 10, 2023.  He has been on long course of antibiotics since then without any improvement.  Upon evaluation in the emergency room patient found to have a white count of 9.4 hemoglobin 8.6 which is lower than his baseline of about 10.  INR 1.22 D-dimer 600 which is age-appropriate BUN 44 creatinine 1.87 glucose 190 ALT AST 6 and 6 normal troponins BNP 62 lactate 2.4.  Chest x-ray was obtained that showed bilateral lower lobe interstitial and alveolar airspace disease right greater than left suspicious for multifocal pneumonia.  Probable small layering right pleural effusion since D-dimer was high CTA chest to rule out pulmonary embolism was obtained that showed patchy pneumonia in the right lower lobe with small volume right parapneumonic effusion negative for pulmonary embolism severe emphysema left upper pole renal mass measuring up to 7.3 cm similar in size since the prior study.  Patient also have multivessel coronary artery disease on the study.  Review of Systems     All 13 point review of systems were reviewed with the patient and are negative except as specified in the HPI  Physical Exam/Objective Vitals & Measurements most recent past 24 hours   Weight Result Pt Reported: 70.9 kg (12/08/23 08:34:00)    Temp Result C Pt Reported: 97.2 F (12/07/23 09:07:00)    Pulse Patient Reported: 104 bpm (12/07/23 09:00:00)    Oxygen Saturation Patient Reported: 91 % (12/07/23 08:59:00)    Systolic Result Patient Reported: 114 mmHg (12/07/23 09:00:00)    Diastolic Result Patient Reported: 54 mmHg (12/07/23 09:00:00)  Hemodynamics   Neurologic   Patient Weight    Patient Height  None Reported  Patient Reported Weight  Weight Result Pt Reported: 70.9 kg (12/08/23)    Weight Result Pt Reported: 71.7 kg (12/07/23)     General: Alert and oriented Eye: Pupils are equal, round and reactive to light HEENT: Normocephalic Neck: Supple, normal range of motion Oropharynx: No erythema or drainage.

Upper GI bleed   K92.2   Patient apparently have a history of a procedure bleed and I have asked the emergency room doctor to consult GI.  -No DVT prophylaxis at this time.  -Hemoglobin every 6 hours.  -Transfuse if hemoglobin less than 7.  -Protonix 40 mg IV twice daily.   4. Anemia   D64.9   Noted.  Patient has at least 1 episode of upper GI bleed today.  -Will monitor closely.   5. COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease)   J44.9   Patient is tachypneic at the time of presentation likely secondary to sepsis.
