Clinical narrative: Document Type: History and Physical   Document Subject: History & Physical Note   Performed By: MD on November 03, 2023 18:05 EDT   Verified By: MD on November 03, 2023 18:05 EDT   Encounter Info: Hospital, Inpatient, 11/03/23 -     * Final Report *        Chief Complaint   Rapid HR  History of Present Illness/Subjective     Patient is an 85 year old man w/ T2DM and a fib who presents to the ER w/ a rapid HR. The patient was found to be in rapid a flutter. He is a poor historian and can't tell me much about his past medical history or what meds he takes. Labs at the Facility were notable for a normal trop. WBC count was 10. Cr was 1.6 which is around his baseline. CT head and neck showed no acute findings or fractures. Synchronized cardioversion was attempted twice in the ER at 200J however patient failed this. His case was discussed w/ Cardiology on call who recommended starting an amiodarone infusion and admitting him to the ICU. Upon arrival his HR remains in the 110s to 120s. He has no complaints at this time. Telemetry shows a flutter. BP is normal.     Review of Systems     With the exception of that noted in the HPI all systems were reviewed and were negative.     Physical Exam/Objective Vitals & Measurements most recent past 24 hours      Constitutional:  No acute distress,  well-nourished Eyes:  no scleral icterus ENMT:  Moist oral mucosa Respiratory:  Increased WOB Cardiovascular:  Tachycardic, irregularly irregular rhythm Gastrointestinal:  non-distended Musculoskeletal:  intact ROM Integumentary:  no rashes Neurologic: no focal deficits Psychiatric:  Cooperative, appropriate mood and affect     Assessment/Plan     Patient is an 85 year old man admitted w/ rapid a flutter.       1. Atrial flutter   I48.92  -Failed cardioversion in the ER x 2   -Amio gtt for now  -TTE  -Cardiology consultation if refractory  -Continue apixaban   -Continue coreg  -TSH  -Telemetry      2. CAD (coronary artery disease)   I25.10  -Continue home ASA and statin      3. Stage 3 chronic kidney disease   N18.30  -Serum creatinine is at baseline  -Renally dose medications  -Avoid nephrotoxic agents  -Monitor with daily CMP      4. Type 2 diabetes mellitus with hyperglycemia   E11.65  -CDA in place  -Carb controlled diet  -Hypoglycemia protocol  -Hold oral DM meds      5. Dyslipidemia   E78.5  -Continue statin       6. Gout   M10.9  -Continue allopurinol      7. Hypertension   I10  -Continue home antihypertensive regimen      8. Diabetic neuropathy   E11.40  -Continue gabapentin      Due to a high probability of clinically significant, life threatening deterioration, the patient required my highest level of preparedness to intervene emergently and I personally spent 40 minutes of critical care time directly and personally managing the patient. This critical care time included obtaining a history, examining the patient, pulse oximetry, ordering and reviewing the studies, arranging urgent treatment with development of a management plan, evaluation of the patient?s response to treatment, frequent reassessment, and discussions with other clinicians. The critical care time was performed to assess and manage the high probability of imminent, life-threatening deterioration that could result in multi-organ failure. It was exclusive of separately billable procedures and treating other patients and teaching time. Please see the MDM section and the rest of this note for further information on patient assessment and treatment.
