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: patient recorded as having no known allergies to drugs attending: chief complaint: lightheadedness, slow pulse major surgical or invasive procedure: none history of present illness: dr. is a 60 yom with a history of myxomatous mitral valve disease s/p annuloplasty ', paroxysmal atrial fibrillation currently on dronedarone and coumadin, h/o postoperative nsvt s/p icd placement, and h/o nondilated cardiomyopathy with ef who presents with lightheadedness and near-syncope in the context of recent undefined illness and weight loss. . pt reports history of 25lb weight loss in the past 6 weeks that he attributes to losing his sense of taste due to his parkinson's meds. he denies any further focal symptoms during this time frame. then, today he was not feeling well while at work in the ed here at . he had been feeling lightheaded all day. he went home then relates that he was laying on the couch watching tv with his daughter and may have passed out for some time, the only thing he remembers is his daughter waking him up. he is unsure if he actually lost consciousness or not. a family member took his pulse and found him to be in the 20's, so brought him to the ed. . there his vitals were hr 31, 110/68, 18, 100% ra. he was found to have elevated inr, hypokalemic and repleted. ekg showing sinus bradycardia with intermittent ventricular escape beats and vpaced beats. he is admitted to ccu for pacer interrogation and monitoring. . ros is positive as above and also with worsening postural hypotn, which he ascribes to the parkinson's meds, and lost of

presents with lightheadedness and near-syncope in the context of recent undefined illness and weight loss, found to be bradycardic and admitted to ccu for further management. . #. presyncope/nsvt: pt had pacer evaluated by ep, which showed a few episodes of nsvt which seem to correlate temporally with his symptoms. also with runs of ventricular bigeminy with 1st qrs complex paced and second complex a wide complex pvc, other strips show bigeminy without pacing. runs of sinus rhythm with junctional vs ventricular escape beats are also seen. patient was followed closely by the ep service. possible etiology of nsvt could be due to hypokalemia. patient had potassium aggressively repleted. prior to discharge, his potassium level was 4.2, for which he was repleted with an extra 40 meq of potassium for goal of 4.5. patient was continued on dronedarone. metoprolol was stopped. lisinopril decreased to 5 mg daily. patient will also start daily potassium supplementation. he will follow up closely in device clinic where he will have repeat cbc, lytes, and inr checked. . #. failure to thrive: patient has had recent weight loss, decrease in appetite, overall fatigue and malaise. sinamet is the most recent addition to his outpatient medications. his neurologist did not think that these symptoms are due to sinamet, although sinamet may cause some nausea, the treatment of which would be to take an extra 25mg of carbidopa along with his sinamet. this was discussed with patient and a prescription for carbidopa was provided to be taken as needed for nausea. . #. pancytopenia: the etiology of this is unclear. his medications were reviewed with no offending medications found. his neurologist did not think that this was being caused by any of his parkinson's meds. he will have a repeat cbc drawn on his next visit at device clinic to follow up. . #. acute renal failure - patient on admission had creatinine of 1.3 which trended down to baseline of 1.0 with gentle iv fluids. . #. supratherapeutic inr - patient's albumin was normal which suggests not a synthetic problem. lft's also normal. patient had warfarin held during this admission, but on discharge his inr was back within therapeutic range of 2.0-3.0 at 2.9. he will be restarted on warfarin as an outpatient, and will have inr checked on his next visit to device clinic for further management of his warfarin dosing. . #. parkinson's - patient was continued on sinamet and azilect medications on admission: warfarin 1 mg or 5 mg daily (? med list unclear) metoprolol tartrate 50mg po bid lisinopril 5mg po

diagnosis: primary diagnosis: presyncope/nsvt discharge condition: mental status: clear and coherent. level of consciousness: alert and interactive. activity status: ambulatory - independent. discharge instructions: you were admitted to for lightheadedness. you were admitted to the cardiac intensive care unit for close monitoring. the electrophysiology service evaluated you on this admission and changed some of the setting on your pacemaker. they found brief episodes of abnormal rhythm when they interrogated your pacemaker. you will need to continue taking dronedarone. we contact your neurologist in regards to your parkinson's medications: sinemet and resegaline. it does not appear that they are the causes of your appetite or weight loss. sinemet can cause nausea, and the treatment to that is to take an additional 25mg of carbidopa along with the sinemet you will also need to continue warfarin. your inr on discharge is 2.9. please continue to have your inr checked periodically in order to manage your warfarin dosage. you will need to have your labs checked again. please have a cbc, chem 10, and an inr checked on . your medications have changed. please make note of the following changes: - please stop taking metoprolol - please decrease your lisinopril dosage to 5 mg daily - new: potassium chloride 20 meq daily - you are being given a prescription for carbidopa. you can take one tablet along with your sinamet, three times a day, as needed if you are experiencing nausea that you think may be due to the sinamet. weigh yourself every morning, md if weight goes up more than 3 lbs. followup instructions: provider: clinic phone: date/time: 9:00 dr. office will contact you for an additional follow up appointment in approximately 6 weeks' time. if you do not hear back from them soon, please call to make the appointment. please continue to follow up with your neurologist dr. procedure: automatic implantable cardioverter/defibrillator (aicd)

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 infant is a former 29 and 5/7 weeks, 1690 gram male newborn who was admitted to newborn intensive care unit for management of prematurity. the infant was born to a 41 year old, gravida 2,. para 0, now 1 mother. prenatal screen - b positive, antibody negative, hepatitis b surface antigen negative, rpr nonreactive, rubella immune. gbs screening unknown. pregnancy complicated by: 1) advanced maternal age, amniocentesis normal 46 xy, 2) preterm labor, initially admitted from on , with contractions and cervical shortening. betamethasone completed on . placed on magnesium sulfate, 3) polyhydramnios, 4) viral meningitis, etiologic unidentified. studies were suspected of chorioamnionitis/ and meningitis, cerebrospinal fluid with 115 white blood cell count, 12 percent polys, 82 percent lymphs, 2 red blood cells, protein 63, glucose 54, gs negative, culture including a viral culture pending at the time of delivery. all blood cultures were negative to date. stool viral culture also pending. urine culture with mixed flora. toxoplasmosis, igm, igg negative. hiv negative, lyme negative. hsv 2, serum igg positive, pcr negative. mother was treated with intravenous acyclovir and ampicillin. maternal past medial history - nephrolithiasis. review of other perinatal sepsis risk factors - gbs unknown, prematurity, no maternal fever, rupture of membranes at the time of delivery, interpartum antibiotics since . due to infectious concerns in mother, a decision was made to deliver the infant. induction not successful, so delivery by cesarean section. maternal general anesthesia/ fentanyl pca. the infant emerged with good color, some spontaneous activity and crying although not vigorous. routine drying suctioning and stimulation. the infant responded well, given facial cpap support aeration for poor respiratory effort. apgars were 7 at 1 minute and 7 at 5 minutes. the infant was shown to father in the recovery room and then transported to the neonatal intensive care unit. physical examination: birth weight 1690 grams, 90th percentile; length 43.5 cm, 90th percentile; head circumference 38 cm, 75 to 90th percentile. decreased activity and tone most likely due to maternal general anesthesia. skin: bruising on sides and left upper arm. no vesicular rashes or lesions. heent: anterior fontanel open and flat. palate intact. resp: poor respiratory effort and aeration, retractions noted. heart: regular rate and rhythm. no murmurs. pulses equal. abdomen: soft. no hepatosplenomegaly. three vessel cord. normal premature male genitalia. testes descended bilaterally though resting high. anus patent. spine: intact. hips: stable. summary of hospital course by systems: respiratory: the infant was

ventricular systolic function appears depressed. 4. the aortic valve leaflets (3) are mildly thickened. mild to moderate (+) aortic regurgitation is seen. 5. the mitral valve leaflets are mildly thickened. mild to moderate (+) mitral regurgitation is seen.6. moderate to severe tricuspid regurgitation is seen. 7. compared with the findings of the prior study of , lv function has improved. . c-scope: : diverticulosis of the sigmoid colon otherwise normal colonoscopy to cecum . . cxr: : indication: history cad, chf, possibly new aspiration pneumonia, swan placement. comparison is made to the chest x-ray obtained one day prior. findings: there is again present a swan-ganz catheter with the tip terminating in the distal left pulmonary artery. an endotracheal tube and an ng tube remains in stable position. median sternotomy wires are noted. the appearance of the lungs are not significantly changed with persistent bilateral patchy opacities predominantly in the mid and lower lung zones. there are also persistent small bilateral pleural effusions. . cxr : history: aspiration pneumonia status post extubation. comparison: . ap chest radiograph: the patient has been extubated in the interval. the right ij line remains in unchanged position. the ng tube has been removed. the degree of pulmonary edema is unchanged. there is patchy atelectasis at the bases, unchanged as well. impression: patchy bibasilar atelectasis unchanged. unchanged pulmonary edema. brief hospital course: 86 year old male with multiple medical problems, on coumadin for atrial fibrillation, who initially presented with melanotic stools in setting of supratherapudic inr. patient suffered repiratory failure from fluid overlaod and was transferred to the icu, was extubated and re-intubated, suffered aspiration event, and ultimately made cmo. patient expired 1 day after being transferred to the floor. the following issues were addressed during his hospital stay: * respiratory failure: intubated for hypercarbic resp failure volume overload. peak pressures elevated on vent so nebs added to decrease airway resistance. pips and plat still elevated likely volume overload but improved following diuresis. he was extubated on but as above, reintubated on due to an episode of pulmonary edema/aspiration/mucous plug/vap. during his second course of intubation, he was treated for his pneumonia and his secretions improved. he was also restarted on his lasix drip to maximize his lung mechanics for another try at extubation. at a family meeting following his second intubation, it was decided that there would be no trach and no reintubation once he was extubated. successfully extubated . had aspiration event, per family meeting, decision for comfort measures only, patient expired on on morphine gtt due to respiratory distress. . * pneumonia: during his first course of intubation, pt grew out klebsiella and mrsa in his sputum. however, given the lack of fever, infiltrate or leukocytosis, he was not started on antibiotics. after extubation, pt had worsening secretions that he could not control. once he was reintubated, his wbc rose and he was noted to have a fever with possible new rml infiltrate. he was therefore started on vanc/zosyn for a 10 day course of aspiration vs vent-associated pneumonia. given change in goals of care, no further antibiotics were administered. morphine gtt administered for comfort care. . * hypotension: initially, hypotension, hr and urine output responsive to fluids however became less so as micu course progressed. no evidence of sepsis. swan on shows elevated cvp and wedge with low co and elevated svr indicating poor forward flow afib with rvr. stim normal response. started on amio drip on with no response in hr (still ~120s) and maps stable in 70s. however, the following day, maps dropped into the 50s-60s so pt was started on levophed. echo on showed a new decreased ef to 35% (>60% on ) with new wall motion abnormalities suggesting nstemi. over the next few days, heart rate came down with improved pressure on levophed allowing the initiation of a lasix drip. when pt was reintubated on , his bp dropped again suggesting that his hypotension is related to positive pressure and sedation. swan numbers did not indicate any signs of sepsis. lasix drip was started on and off for diuresis, was off all drips given change in care. . * chf: as above, pt with new depressed ef on recent echo. multiple valvular abnormalities including mod mr, mod ar, severe tr, severe pr. swan on showed elevated cvp and wedge indicating volume overload. started on lasix gtt on with no increase in urine output. then started on nitro gtt for additional afterload reduction but this was stopped after dramatic drop in bp. pt was then started on dobutamine briefly but this was again stopped after drop in bp. pt was started on levophed with improvement in maps so lasix gtt was again resumed. pt started diuresing to low dose lasix gtt. as bp improved, levpophed was titrated off and pt was restarted on his ace-i and bb for further afterload reduction. pt continued to diurese with goal of one liter negative per day. he was successfully extubated on . on a few occasions, pt was noted to have elevated bp, hr and cvp indicating flash pulmonary edema. on , pt had another episode of pulm edema that was not responsive to nitro patch, morphine and lasix x 2. he was placed on bipap but was tachypneic to 40-50s with minute ventilation of 22-23. he was then reintubated. again, he was started on levophed for a drop in his bp but also on a lasix gtt for diuresis. as above, lasix drip and levophed was started on and off according to his pressure. his became alkalotic with further diuresis with difficultly in weaning and was started on diamox on . given change in care status, no further diuresis was pursued while cmo. . * afib with rvr: pt went into a fib with rvr during acute event of gi bleed with resp distress. of note, pt has failed dccv in the past. starting amio gtt on and converted to po amio on . rate was better controlled in 100s. cardiac meds were held as patient cmo. . * cad: pt with troponin bump to 0.56 in setting of acute event of gi bleed and afib/rvr with hypotension, hence likely demand ischemia. now with new wall motion abnormalities. , pt was weaned off pressors and restarted on his ace-i and bb. he was continued on asa. troponin trended down and repeat echo showed normalization of ef. it was thought that pt was failing to wean his heart disease (leading to ischemic mr which led to flash pulm edema during an sbt). the swan was replaced and co was determined prior to and following an sbt. the pt tolerated the sbt so there was no evidence that ischemia was preventing his extubation. he was extubated. when he was reintubated, a dobutamine stress echo was done at the bedside and showed no signs of ischemia. given change in care status, no further cardiac w/u was pursued. . * gib: likely upper gib (has prior h/o of pud although no egp's in our records.) divertic + on c-scope. inr reversed with ffp and vitamin k, now normalized. hct stable s/p 5u prbcs total. egd on showed no signs of gastritis or ulcers. hct slowly trended down during icu stay possible due to slow lower gi bleed (hemorrhoids?). he was transfused for a hct<25 due to his recent nstemi. above issues then became focus of care. . * uti: when ua checked for sediment, noted to have 21-50 wbc with mod bacteria. sent for cx which returned vre, to ampicillin. completed 7-day course. . * decreased urine output: urine lytes show na of 10 indicating pre-renal likely poor forward flow. creatinine slowly increased over hosp stay likely atn (in setting of hypotension) and poor forward flow. urine output improved with lasix gtt and levophed for better bp. cr trended down. . *access: quad-lumen () . *code status: patient's code status changed from dnr/dni to cmo given changes in

a homemaker, no tobacco, questionable etoh use, married with two children. physical examination: on examination, the patient is afebrile, heart rate 120s and regular, blood pressure 121/70, respiratory rate 12, and oxygen saturation 100% on assist control. the patient is intubated and sedated. she is pale. the pupils are equal, round, and reactive to light and accommodation. extraocular movements are intact. the lungs are clear to auscultation bilaterally. the heart is tachycardic but regular. her abdomen is soft, nontender. rectal is grossly heme positive. her extremities revealed no cyanosis, clubbing or edema. she had palpable dorsalis pedis pulses bilaterally. laboratory data: from , laboratory data revealed a hematocrit of 30.5, and repeat at was 26.1. her inr was 1.4. chest x-ray revealed no pneumothorax, no effusions. electrocardiogram revealed sinus tachycardia at 115, normal axis, no hypertrophy. esophagogastroduodenoscopy showed an ulcer at the incisivum, injected but adequately controlled 1.5 centimeters. angiography revealed aneurysm of the splenic artery feeding into the stomach. hospital course: the patient was admitted to the medicine service and transferred to the general surgery service in the intensive care unit for further monitoring. she was intubated and sedated for airway protection. she received another four units of packed red blood cells and two units of fresh frozen plasma. on , the patient underwent embolization of her splenic artery aneurysm. she tolerated the procedure well without complications. her postprocedure course was notable for question of infiltrate in her left lower lung base on cat scan. the patient was started empirically on levofloxacin and cultures were obtained. the patient was extubated uneventfully and transferred to the floor. on the floor, she spiked a temperature to 104. blood cultures were obtained which finally grew out staphylococcus aureus coagulase positive which was sensitive to oxacillin. the patient had been empirically started on vancomycin which was then discontinued and levofloxacin was continued. the patient also underwent repeat cat scan which showed some residual splenic artery aneurysm and some splenic infarct. of note, the patient also noticed that she was having inability to dorsiflex her foot and decreased sensation. on examination, it was confirmed that she had no sensation in the dorsum of her foot and was unable to dorsiflex. neurology consultation was obtained and it was decided that she had a neuropraxia secondary to compression of the peroneal nerve. the recommendations were for physical therapy and an afo device and the thought was that this would resolve on its own. the patient did notice increase in sensation in her foot and was able to ambulate adequately with the afo device. on , as the patient had been afebrile, and her cultures and sensitivities were sensitive to oxacillin, the patient was discharged home in stable condition on levaquin times ten days for a total of fourteen days. she was told to follow-up with neurology on an outpatient basis as well as to follow-up with her primary care physician. , m.d. dictated by: medquist36

and resection of left parietal mass, with related pneumocephalus. a small hyperdense focus is noted at the left superolateral margin of the air-filled surgical cavity with a subarachnoid component (2:23-25), representing post-operative hemorrhage. residual regional vasogenic edema is noted, similar in extent to the previous study. there is no shift of normally-midline structures. cortical atrophy is again noted, likely related to the patient's age. vascular calcification of the carotid siphons is also seen. the paranasal sinuses and mastoid air cells are well aerated. the soft tissues of the orbits are symmetric and grossly unremarkable. no bone destruction is seen. impression: small hemorrhagic focus at the margin of the new surgical cavity, with blood in the immediately suprajacent subarachnoid space, consistent with small amount of post-operative bleeding. attention should be paid to this finding on subsequent f/u studies. ct head w/o contrast study date of 1:02 pm findings: there is a left parietal craniotomy. in the left parietal surgical bed, there is a 4.7 cm hyperdensity consistent with acute hemorrhage, markedly increased in size since the prior study. there is tenting of the falx to the right, which is new compared to prior. there is compression of the body of the left lateral ventricle, which is also new compared to prior. left frontal and parietal white matter hypodensity with mass effect is grossly stable in extent, related to the resected tumor. there is a mucous retention cyst in the right posterior ethmoid air cells. impression:

hyperdense focus of hemorrhage continues to measure 4.7 cm, similar to most recent prior. there is slightly increased hypodensity within the posterior portion of the hemorrhage, consistent with evolving hematoma. the surrounding edema appears similar in amount and distribution. mild tenting of the falx to the right is again seen. there is persistent compression of the body of the left lateral ventricle. left frontoparietal white matter hypodensity with mass effect is similar in distribution. mucosal thickening in the right posterior ethmoid air cell is again seen. impression: left

the sda department for the proposed procedure. she underwent the left craniotomy and awoke from anesthesia without complication. her postoperative exam and ct scan were stable. post op day # 1 the pt had slight difficulty with word finding. this evolved into a new right prontator drift. a ct scan of the brain was obtained stat. it demonstrated new hemorrhage into the postoperative bed. her sub q heparin was discontiued, a bolus of 10 mg dexamethasone was given and her bp parameters were tightened to strict <140. her exam remained stable otherwise. on postop day 2 her mental status had declined a little further. she was now more lethargic with minimal command following. she was not oriented at all and is preseverative. at this time a repeat ct was deemed stable. her na was 128 this

Medical Report: history of present illness: this is a 42 year old male with a history of one quart per day of liquor use who presented to transfer from detoxification center. he was admitted to on . he had been drinking heavily prior to admission . at , he received approximately 5 mg total of ativan on . today, the patient was noted to be crawling on all fours in his room, paranoid and disoriented. he received about 5 mg total of ativan over the course of the day prior to his transfer to the emergency department. bouts of hypertension were noted at . on arrival in the emergency department, he was relatively cooperative and communicative. he was tachycardic but not hypertensive and he received doses of 1 to 2 mg ativan in the emergency department. over his course in the emergency department, he grew agitated and combative with increasing tachycardia, hypertension and tremulousness. he received multiple doses of ativan and valium in the emergency department. he was also given droperidol on one occasion 2.5 mg. following several doses of valium, the patient became obtunded despite continued tachycardia and hypertension and was intubated for airway protection. initial attempts at endotracheal intubation were unsuccessful and a nasal airway was eventually placed. past medical history significant for depression. medications on admission: the patient was on no medications at home. medications at : 1. ativan p.r.n. 2. haldol. 3. thiamine. 4. clonidine. 5. atenolol. allergies: penicillin. social history: the patient has a history of multiple detoxifications, last at in . he has been drinking approximately one liter of vodka or bourbon a day consistently since his last detoxification. he denies a history of delirium tremens. his first drink was at age twelve. he occasionally uses marijuana but denies intravenous drug use. physical examination: vital signs revealed temperature 99.7, heart rate ranging from 120s to 140s, blood pressure 150/94 to 180. in general, the patient was alert, but disoriented. he was tremulous and agitated and combative. he was put in four point restraints. the patient had anicteric blood shot sclera. his pupils were 4.0 millimeters equal and reactive. there was no evidence of jugular venous distention. his lungs were clear to auscultation bilaterally. on cardiac examination, he was tachycardic with a regular pulse, normal s1 and s2. abdominal examination revealed positive bowel sounds, soft, nontender, nondistended, no hepatosplenomegaly appreciated. his extremities were warm. on neurologic examination, he was alert but agitated and combative and oriented. he was extremely tremulous but moving all four extremities. skin examination showed no evidence of liver disease such as spider angiomata or caput medusa. laboratory data: significant laboratory studies revealed sodium 135, potassium 4.1, chloride 102, bicarbonate 23, blood urea nitrogen 5, creatinine 0.7, glucose 107, alt 77, ast 140, alkaline phosphatase 128, total bilirubin 3.4, phosphate 1.4, magnesium 2.1, calcium 8.7, albumin 3.6, lipase 17, cpk 842. white blood count 5.8 with 80% neutrophils, hematocrit 35.6, mcv 102, platelets 170,000. inr 1.1. hepatitis a and b panels negative. hepatitis c antibody pending. urine toxicology screen was positive for benzodiazepines. serum toxicology screen was negative. imaging studies: chest x-ray on , was consistent with aspiration pneumonia. repeat x-ray showed similar findings. ultrasound performed on , showed gallbladder sludge, steatohepatitis and mild splenomegaly. an electrocardiogram showed tachycardia with a rate of 114 beats per minute with a corrected q=t interval of 442 milliseconds. hospital course: 1. neurology - the patient was initially admitted to the medical intensive care unit and placed on an ativan drip with valium for breakthrough agitation. he ultimately received 350 mg of valium intravenously between , and , in the morning in addition to an ativan drip ranging from 8 to 16 mg per hour intravenously as well as an additional 12 mg of ativan given intravenously on , while he was in the medical intensive care unit. on transfer to the floor on , the patient was continued on valium at a dosage of 10 mg q6hours with valium use for breakthrough per the ciwa scale. due to the patient's continued somnolence and presumed benzodiazepine intoxication, all benzodiazepines were halted the afternoon of , and the patient was covered by a p.r.n. order for haldol. 2. infectious disease - the patient was febrile to 102.1 in the medical intensive care unit and continued to have temperature to 100 on the medicine floor. a chest x-ray obtained on , in the medical intensive care unit showed retrocardiac opacities bilaterally and was suspicious for aspiration pneumonia, however, a repeat portable chest x-ray on , showed some clearing. numerous blood cultures were drawn during the hospital stay. out of five sets, one anaerobic bottle grew alpha streptococci and one aerobic bottle grew gram positive cocci. these positive cultures were thought to be contaminants and the patient was not started on any antibiotic therapy. 3. pulmonary - the patient was successfully extubated after two days and had no respiratory issues with good oxygen saturation throughout his hospital stay. 4. gastrointestinal - the patient's increased liver function tests were consistent with an alcoholic hepatitis which may have also been the source of his fever. an ultrasound performed on , ruled out cholecystic disease. hepatitis a and b panels were negative. hepatitis c antibody still pending at the time of dictation. 5. fluids, electrolytes and nutrition - the patient's potassium, magnesium and phosphorus were repleted as needed. the patient also received folate and thiamine. condition on discharge: to be determined. discharge status: to be determined. discharge diagnosis to be determined: , m.d. dictated by: medquist36 procedure: insertion of endotracheal tube alcohol detoxification diagnoses: alcohol abuse, unspecified acute alcoholic hepatitis alcohol withdrawal seborrheic dermatitis, unspecified Answer: The patient is high likely exposed to

radiology report ct head w/o contrast study date of 12:40 pm ct head w/o contrast findings: the subarachnoid hemorrhage previously seen to track along the left temporal lobe, into the left sylvian fissure and along the tentorium, and into the left quadrigeminal plate cistern is unchanged. there is no new focus of hemorrhage. mild sulcal effacement on the left is stable without increased mass effect, ventricular compression, or evidence of herniation. there is no appreciable infarction. multiple facial fractures and opacification of the paranasal sinuses, presumably hemorrhage are unchanged. impression: no significant change in appearance of left subarachnoid hemorrhage. no new bleed, increased mass effect, or large vascular territory infarct. brief hospital course: he was admitted to the trauma service; neurosurgery and plastics were consulted given his injuries. he was taken to the operating room on for an open trach, peg placement and initial repair of his facial fractures. on he was taken back to the operating room for definitive repair of his facial fractures. his subarachnoid hemorrhage was managed non operatively; serial head ct scans were followed and were stable. he was loaded with dilantin and was continued on this for approximately 1 week. because of his traumatic brain injury he did have periods of agitation which were initially felt likely secondary to the injury and to alcohol withdrawal; he was started on a ciwa scale and a sitter was put into place. his agitated behaviors did continue intermittently long after the withdrawal period; zyprexa was initiated as well as trazodone to help regulate his sleep wake cycle. the agitated behaviors did subside. the ativan is being tapered slowly to avoid any rebound effects given that he had received a considerable amount over the course of his stay. his sputum grew out proteus mirabilis and it was recommended by id that he be treated with a day course of ceftriaxone. he is tolerating his tube feedings; he was started on reglan and erythromycin for gi motility. he was evaluated by speech and swallow for a passy muir valve for which he was not able to tolerate. once at rehab and once his behaviors are more consistent and not agitated he should be re-evaluated. physical and occupational therapy also evaluated him and have recommended acute rehab. social work was closely involved with patient and his family for emotional support. medications on admission: lipitor discharge medications: 1. insulin regular human 100 unit/ml solution sig: one (1) dose injection four times a day

Medical Report: allergies: motrin / latex attending: chief complaint: altered mental status major surgical or invasive procedure: intubation and mechanical ventillation right radial arterial line history of present illness: ms. is a 62 yo f pmh of afib, tia, memory loss s/p hypoglycemic coma, chronic low back pain, anemia, gerd, asthma recently admitted with subarachnoid hemorrhage readmitted with acute change in mental status and agitation. since her discharge on her husband reports that she had been doing well until 2 days pta when she was more fatigued and agitated than usual. she did not have any specific complaints but her husband reports development of diarrhea two days pta which he thinks was due to metformin being started. on the day of admission, her husband was called by the nursing facility to report that she was not waking up and she was sent to . due to concern for possible repeat or progression of intraparencymal bleed she was transferred here for neurosurgical evaluation. . on arrival in the ed t100.8 bp 106/49 hr 64 rr 12 100% on 4l nc fsbg 271. she was intubated on arrival in the ed due to somnolence and concern that she would not be able to protect her airway. she was given lidocaine 100mg iv, versed 2mg and fentanyl 100mcg for sedation. she was given an additional 4mg iv versed, started on versed gtt at 5mg/hour and fentanyl 100mcg following this bp dropped to 76/palp. she was given 3l ivf and a line was placed. she was also started on dopamine gtt at 2.5. she had a lp without evidence of infection. head ct was done which was stable when compared to imaging from her recent admission. there was no evidence of new or worsened bleed. she was also given 10mg iv decadron, 2mg ceftriaxone. dopamine gtt was d/c'd prior tor transfer to the

2. no new hemorrhage, herniation, hydrocephalus, or other acute intracranial process. mri head: 1. subacute well-defined hemorrhage in the left medial temporal lobe without surrounding edema. small amount of blood products is also seen in the ventricles, which could be secondary to extension of blood products from this abnormality. the appearances are nonspecific, but given the location, primary hemorrhage is less likely and an underlying condition like cavernous malformation should be considered. gadolinium-enhanced mri can help for further assessment. 2. increased signal in the splenium of corpus callosum can be seen in patients with seizure and postictal stage. however, subtle increased signal within the pyramidal tracts bilaterally is unusual for postictal status. this could reflect degenerative changes within the pyramidal tract. clinical correlation is recommended. mra head: slightly bulbous basilar artery without discrete aneurysm. otherwise, normal mra of the head. eeg: this is an abnormal routine eeg due to the presence of a slow and disorganized background with increased slowing in the left hemisphere. this indicates a moderate encephalopathy with an area of subcortical dysfunction on the left. the former finding is most often caused by medication, metabolic disturbances, or infection. there were no epileptiform features noted. . labs prior to discharge: 05:16am

coma, chronic low back pain, anemia, gerd, asthma recently admitted with subarachnoid hemorrhage readmitted with acute change in mental status and agitation intubated in the ed for airway protection. her hospital course is as follows: . # agitation/altered mental status: was initially unclear what caused alteration in her mental status. at baseline she has an odd affect and is intermittently confused. she was afebrile and did not have any evidence of infection. lp was performed and was unremarkable. neurology was consulted. eeg was performed and was negative for seizure, only with slowing near the area of her bleed. ct scan showed her old stable bleed. her blood sugar was normal. mri showed a bulbous basilar artery but otherwise was unremarkable for a cause of her symptoms. psychoactive medications were held. we continued her keppra at current dose. her confusion returned to baseline during the course of her admission. her altered mental status was likely multifactorial to include medications, as well as her hypercarbia, osa/copd (see below). she should follow up with neurology/neurosurgery as an outpatient. . # hypercarbia/copd/osa: she was initially admitted intubated, but was extubated after 24 hrs. abg showed mild hypoxemia with p02 in the 50s-60s as well as significant hypercarbia, with pc02 in the 80s-90s, occationally in the 100s. cxr was unremarkable for infection. we continued her bronchodilators. during her admission she had periods of somnolence possibly due to increased carbon dioxide retention in the setting of untreated osa. she was tried on autoset cpap initially however this was not effective for her. she was briefly sent to the floor but readmitted to the micu after increased somnolence. sleep was finally consulted. she had an inpatient sleep study which established bipap settings for her. she will require follow up sleep study and titration as an outpatient. she continued to be delirious with periods of waxing and agitation. according to her husband, her mental status prior to her discharge was similar to her baseline. autoset bipap setting: --emin=8cm imax=20cm max i-e gap 10cm at night for now (can be ordered through medical - the contact there is , medical, cell ) --please call to arrange follow-up with sleep to arrange formal outpatient bipap titration to further tailor settings in the future . # recent left temporal hemorrhage: was stable on ct and mri. we continued her keppra and held her coumadin and plavix. . # paroxysmal atrial fibrillation: was in sinus rhythm throughout admission. . # type ii dm: her oral hypoglycemics were held in favor of sliding scale. however, her medications were restarted once she stabilized. januvia was not on formulary and was therefore held. this will need to be restarted after discharge. . # copd: h/o second hand smoke exposure, appears to be chronic co2 retainer based on her abg, with pc02 ranging from 80-100 at baseline. she was intermittently somnolent in relation to her osa. . # nutrition: regular diet . medications on admission: per nh medication list: avandia 8mg daily avandia 4mg by mouth daily (written twice) omeprazole 20mg daily enalpril 20mg

tolerated the procedure well, and was transported to the csru intubated on neo-synephrine in stable condition. initially, she had a low cardiac index and developed acidosis prompting volume resuscitation with blood. her index picked up over the course of the day and her intra-aortic balloon pump was discontinued. over the next several days, she was weaned off her drips. she developed atrial fibrillation, had several attempts at cardioversion after loading with amiodarone that were unsuccessful. she spontaneously converted to sinus rhythm on postoperative day #4. her sedation was weaned off and she was started on her usual dose of methadone maintenance. on postoperative day five, she was extubated, for chest tubes and pacing wires were discontinued. on postoperative day seven, she was transferred to the floor, where she progressed well and continued to ambulate. on postoperative day 10, as she was awaiting rehab placement, she experienced left sided chest pain. her hemodynamics were stable, but an electrocardiogram demonstrated t-wave inversion laterally similarly to preoperative, but new compared to postoperative. she refused cardiac catheterization at that time, so a persantine mibi was done on , which demonstrated the same reversible defect as preoperative with only minimal improvement. she then agreed to cardiac catheterization. this demonstrated completely patent grafts. as she was clinically well throughout this entire episode, she was deemed safe for discharge to rehab on . on examination on the day of discharge, her lungs were clear bilaterally. heart was regular, rate, and rhythm. her incisions were clean, dry, and intact. her sternum was stable and there was minimal pedal edema. discharge instructions: the patient was given discharge instructions to followup with dr. in one month. her discharge weight was 82.4. on day of discharge, her blood pressure is 118/62 with respiratory rate of 20 and is sating 96% on room air. her laboratories showed a white count of 18.9, hematocrit of 33, platelet count of 255,000. sodium 139, potassium 3.2, chloride 107, co2 22, bun 30, creatinine 0.9 with a blood sugar of 92. her lungs were clear. she was following commands and was alert and oriented. incisions were as previously listed. her left radial harvest site also had steri-strips. it was clean and dry with some ecchymosis, but no erythema. discharge medications: 1. metoprolol 125 mg po bid. 2. colace 100 mg po bid. 3. ranitidine 150 mg po bid. 4. aspirin 325 mg po q day. 5. insulin on a sliding scale for rehab, regular

not a good surgical candidate. pt sent home on atorvastatin 40mg -->80mg. few weeks later pt noted leg cramps. went to on for likely statin induced myopathy and found to have elevated ck (8,000), hypertension to 200s, arf (cr=3 which is up from baseline 1.7), and myoglobinuria. pt was diagnosed with rhabdomyolysis and given several liters of fluid. he was then noted to have ekf changes in lateral leads and rising cardiac enzymes. he was transfered to cardiothoracic surgical service for plan of urgent cabg. upon arrival to , cardiac enzymes continued to increase (trop 0.03-->0.5-->0.75-->0.6-->0.9) with lateral ekg changes. in addition, pt was not oxygenating well and cxr showed pulmonary edema. he was intubated for pulm edema and and intra-aortic balloon pump placed to improve coronary perfusion. pt was stable until yesterday morning when he became hypothermic (t=34) and bradycardic, he was pan-cultured for concern of sepsis. cultures are pending. he was also started on milrinone for low cardiac index and poor urinary output with goal of improving forward flow and perfusing kidneys. he was also give lasix 40mg iv once with no response. this morning,

arcuate arteries of both kidneys which may be related to insufficient perfusion pressure. flow is detected in the main renal arteries and veins bilaterally, but there is no appreciable diastolic flow. . echo: the left atrium is mildly dilated. no atrial septal defect is seen by 2d or color doppler. there is mild symmetric left ventricular hypertrophy. the left ventricular cavity size is normal. there is mild to moderate regional left ventricular systolic dysfunction with inferior and infero-apical severe hypokinesis. no masses or thrombi are seen in the left ventricle. there is no ventricular septal defect. with depressed free wall contractility. there is no aortic valve stenosis. the mitral valve leaflets are mildly thickened. there is no mitral valve prolapse. mild (1+) mitral regurgitation is seen. the tricuspid valve leaflets are mildly thickened. there is no pericardial effusion. compared with the prior study (images reviewed) of , rv systolic function is less vigorous. the lvef is similar on/off iabp. . carotid study: 1. near occlusion of the right internal carotid artery, presenting with a string sign. 2. 40-59% stenosis of the left internal carotid artery. these results were posted in the radiology critical results communication dashboard on at 6:00 p.m. . ct head w/o contrast 1. no acute intracranial hemorrhage, mass effect or shift of normally

fluid collection within the right groin. no pseudoaneurysm or fistula. . : liver ultrasound: impression: 1. normal doppler evaluation of the liver. 2. cholelithiasis and gallbladder sludge, without evidence of cholecystitis. 3. right pleural effusion. 4. pulsatie portal vein flow may be seen in right heart failure. . cxr: 1. worsening opacity at left lower base is fluid, atelectasis, and possible pneumonia. 2. worsening pulmonary venous congestion. 3. right upper lung opacity, likely artifact. . 12.03 cxr: findings: in comparison with the study of , there is little change in the appearance of the monitoring and support devices. the cardiac silhouette is essentially within normal limits on this study. right pleural effusion is unchanged. the patchy opacification at the left base may be increasing. although this could merely reflect atelectasis, though possibility of supervening pneumonia would have to be considered in the appropriate clinical setting. elevation of pulmonary venous pressure is suggested. . . echo:left ventricular wall thicknesses and cavity size are normal. overall left ventricular systolic function is severely depressed (lvef= 15-20%). the right ventricular cavity is mildly dilated with depressed free wall contractility. there are three aortic valve leaflets. the aortic valve leaflets are moderately thickened. no aortic regurgitation is

and anteroseptal segments which have relatively preserved function). moderate mitral regurgitation. compared with the report of the prior study (images unavailable for review) of , overall lv systolic function and the degree of mitral regurgitation have worsened. brief hospital course: ccu course: 82 yo m w/ cad- diffuse 3 vessel disease and 60% left main, pvd, tia, carotid artery stenosis, ras s/p stent, dm2, htn, who presented to osh for statin induced rhabdomyolisis; hospital course complicated by pulmonary edema in setting of aggressive hydration, and resultant demand myocardial ischemia, vap, acute on chronic kidney injury, eventually made comfort measures only. . # respiratory: respiratory distress secondary to pulmonary edema in setting of aggressive hydration (received total of 16 l fluids prior to transfer to ccu) for management of rhabdo. pt with echo lvef 35-40%. pt was intubted and vented. he was placed on lasix drip for diuresis. attempts to extubate were thwarted by patient's inability to protect airway and he was re intubated. given need for longterm ventilation interventional pulmonology was consulted and a tracheostomy tube was placed. the patient had a bilateral infiltrate on chest x-ray (see below) and was treated with a course of antibiotics for a possible respiratory source (see septic shock below). . # septic shock: after admission, patient developed leukocytosis hypotension and spiking fevers. chest x-ray showed a bilateral infiltrate. at the time, the patient was already being treated with cefepime, vancomycin, and flagyl for aspiration pneumonia. the patient was started on pressors and given fluid resuscitation. id was consulted and antibiotics were switched to , linezolid, tobramycin. he was treated with for 8 days of meropenem and linezolid (). he was afebrile for 8 days and again spiked fevers. ct torso was ordered which showed bl infiltrates and loculated pleural effusions. he was started on on metronidazole, cefepime, and vancomycin for vap coverage.the patient was re-started on a course of antibiotics several times due to a concern of worsening sepsis. he also started to have diarrhea and was covered with po vancomycin, his c.diff stool studies came back negative. . # coronaries: pt has 3 vessel disease along with left main disease. per ct surgery, pt is a poor surgical candidate since poor distal targets. on this admission, pt with elevated troponins (peak trop 1.8) and ekg showing lateral lead changes concernign for acs. he had iabp placed to improve coronary perfusion and heparin was administed for 48 hrs in setting of acute event. iabp was removed.repeat echo was performed on , showing worsening systolic function, (lvef= 15-20%) worsening mr. . # rhythm: in a. fib as of . started on amiodarone drip, and patient reverted to nsr. metoprolol also started and continued when patient's blood pressure could support. the patient continued to be in and out of atrial fibrillation, so amiodarone was continued as 400mg po. . # rhabdomylosis/arf: statin induced rhabdo with elevated ck (highest was 8,000 from osh), cr, myoglobinuria at osh. was aggressively hydrated resulting in pulmonary edema. pt was given bicarb drip early during hospitalization. cr continued to increase 3.1-->4.0, then reached a plateau in the low 4s. renal recommended continued diuresis. the patient was also started on desmopression. cvvhd was started and discontinued prior to expiration. see goals of care discussion below. . # neurologic function: on hd 20 patient was weaned temporarly from vent and placed on a 48 hour sedation holiday to evaluate neurologic function and patient remained responsive only to pain. he was evaluated by neurology who noted a non-focal exam, and recommended head ct to evaluate an intracranial process. head ct was negative for mass or hemorrhage. 20min eeg was ordered to evaluate status epilepticus and showed normal subcortical activity. #thrombocytopenia: admission plt was 190-200. pt's platelets dropped as of , coinciding with few days after heparin admisnistration as well as iabp placement. hit panel returned negative twice. heparin was stopped for concern of possible hit and argatroban was started. following the second hit panel negative, the argatroban was stopped. heparin was held, though, due to concern for gi bleed. thrombocytopenia likely attributed to iabp since plt trended up after removal. . # gi bleeding: patient had coffee ground liquid suctioned from og tube. hematocrit went steadily downward until transfusion of 2 units prbcs necessary. gi was consulted. the patient was placed on a pantoprazole drip and transitioned to q12h dosing. endoscopy was thought to be needed once patient is stable. the patient was intermittenly transfused when his hematocrit was low. . # goals of care: prior to admission, patient had a relatively high functional status. family was initially hopeful of recovery. however, the patient continued to do poorly and eventually a decision was made to start him on cvvhd to see if that helps to clear up the mental status. cvvhd brought down his bun and creatinine, however the patient continued to be minimally responsive throughout his stay and eventually was trach/pegd. multiple family meetings were held throughout his icu stay to address the goals of care continuously. another family meeting with dr. , (sw), rn, ccu res/intern and , wife, daughter, son-in-law, and neurology was held on to discuss whether cvvhd was helpful in his case given extensive and rapidly deteriorating function of multiple organ systems (this included unlikely recovery of his kidney function, unlikely recovery of his mental status, worsening sepsis on top of worsening cardiac function). family was aware that we do not think he will recover, and the decision was made to provide supportive care with comfort measures only on . decision was made to discontinue norepinephrine drip at 1230 on . the patient was then started on morphine drip for comfort. he expired on at 7:05pm. . # dm2: glucose was controlled with insulin drip and iss. medications on admission: glipizide 10mg po januvia 25 mg po daily levemir 14

edema, no stones brief hospital course: 87 yo gentleman with h/o volvulus s/p colostomy (since reversed), who presented with llq abdominal pain of several days duration. # hypotension: likely multifactorial with contributions from hypovolemic, distributive, and cardiogenic shock. hypovolemic shock likely induced by poor po intake prior to presentation. distributive shock likely occuring due to inflammatory response to surgery as well as acute intra-abdominal infection due to translocation of bacteria through ischemic bowel. cardiogenic shock possible in setting of aggressive fluid resuscitation in patient with unknown systolic function as well as cardiomyopathy of acute illness and sepsis. patient was given aggressive fluid resuscitation. he was then diuresed with intermittent boluses of iv lasix. he had a brief period of hypotension after several days of diuresis the morning of that responded well to fluid resuscitation and was felt to be secondary to overdiuresis. he was put on vanc/zosyn to cover bowel flora which was transitioned to zosyn alone. patient was weaned off of pressors completely on . he completed a 14 day course of zosyn on . # respiratory failure: patient was considered for extubation on multiple occasions, but failed breathing trials often due to mucous plugging. he had a new leukocytosis that began to rise on and was treated empirically for vap with vancomycin and ciprofloxacin from to ---. thereafter, his white count trended down, as did his fever curve. he was extensively suctioned with bronchoscopy and was finally extubated on the morning of . he did very well off the vent, with normal work of breathing. mr. was maintained on a face mask and his oxygen requirements titrated down as tolerated. he was continued on albuterol, atrovent and mucomyst nebulizers. # small bowel obstruction: patient presented with feculent vomitus and llq abdominal pain. likely developed in setting of prior abdominal surgeries due to volvulus and colostomy in past. he underwent small bowel obtruction and resection with placement of an ileostomy. he was started on trophic tube feeds shortly after his surgery. additionally, immodium as started because of high volume output from his ostomy with good effect. surgery followed mr. in the throughout his entire course. # vap: patient with thick secretions and mucous plugging. patient was empirically started on broad spectrum antibiotics for vap with vancomycin and cipro as above. # altered mental status: patient was taken off of sedation and remained persistently altered. a head ct showed only chronic calcifications. his altered mental status was attributed to slow clearance of sedating medications, and continued to improve over the course of his hospitalization. # tachycardia: developed shortly after arriving in icu, no clearly visible flutter waves, though it was difficult to assess in setting of low-amplitude p-waves at baseline. it was felt to be most likely atrial flutter given fixed regular rate of ~150. patient's rate was controlled with an amiodarone drip. it was stopped overnight on and he continued to maintain an appropriate rate throughout the rest of his course. # acute kidney injury: creatinine at presentation to the hospital was cr 2.6, which resolved back to his baseline cr 1.1-1.3 with ivf resuscitation. likely multifactorial due to atn from sepsis, hypovolemia causing pre-renal azotemia. # elevated troponin: in setting of history of cad with prior mi by history and evidenced in ekgs dating back over 15 years. stress test last performed in and was without evidence of exercise-induced ischemia. patient's last lipid panel in revealed hdl 87 and ldl 102. patient not on statin or aspirin at home. - trend troponin post-op to assure no acute event to contribute to hypotension and consider echo if concern develops # hypertension: held home lisinopril while septic. # code status: dnr/dni confirmed with patient's wife. . general surgery: mr. was trans to the floor. he was treated with iv abx for vapna. tpn and tf were continued. it was noted that his lft's were increasing, tpn was d/c'd and a liver ultrasound was done. this showed cbd 8mm gb distended with sludge with mild wall edema, no stones. the patient was confused and pulling at lines/dobboff. geriatrics was consulted secondary to this. the patient was also placed in mitts secondary to delirum. . the pateint removed his dobboff and tpn was restarted. speech and swallow was consulted and he was started on purree/ensure with calorie counts. the patient had a peg tube placed on for supplemental feedings. feedings were started on : repleat with fiber full at 20cc/hr increase by 20cc every 4 hrs for goal of 80cc/hr. tubefeeding will continue to be advanced at rehab via g-tube. his tpn was weaned and picc stayed in place for use at rehab. his incision was opened at the distal end, it will continue to be packed with about 10cm of amd guaze twice a day and as needed. post peg tube placement instructions were included in the d/c paperwork. . he will f/u wiht his pcp in one week and dr. in one month. both of these appts were made for the patient prior 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: allergies: ergocalciferol (vit d2) / codeine / nifedipine / allopurinol and derivatives / calcium channel blocking agents-dihydropyridines / diltiazem hcl attending: chief complaint: nausea/vomiting/rigors major surgical or invasive procedure: placement of new tunneled catheter for hemodialysis. history of present illness: 69yo spanish-speaking female with h/o esrd on hd tuesday/thursday/saturday, mssa graft infection and bacteremia s/p graft removal, htn, type ii dm, ?af brought in by her family for fever, productive cough, and progressive fatigue x2d. she was reportedly in her usoh until 2d pta, when she experienced fever, exact temperature unknown to her family, and non-bloody emesis x1 in the setting of hd, prompting early termination of hd. over the course of the next 2d, she developed productive cough without hematemesis and progressive fatigue. on the morning of admission, she was noted by her family to be tachypneic with increased work of breathing, but without subjective sob. per report, she did not take her home medications due to fatigue. on the afternoon of admission, she was found to be febrile to 102.5 and mentating poorly, prompting concern among her family members. she denies weight change, cp, abdominal pain, diarrhea, peripheral edema, pnd/orthopnea, sick contacts, or recent travel. she urinates 2-3 times daily. in the ed, initial vs were as follows: t 103(pr)/98(po), hr 103, bp 199/78, rr 30, o2 saturation 100% on non-rebreather. ekg initially demonstrated sinus tachycardia at 123 bpm. when she developed sustained vt x 2.5 min in the absence of hd instability, she was treated presumptively with ca/mg for hyperkalemia and subsequently broke spontaneously. following administration of 150 mg amiodarone, she was placed on an amiodarone gtt and received 10 mg iv metoprolol for likely af with aberrancy at the suggestion of the cardiology fellow. after bcx/ucx were obtained, she received iv vancomycin/zosyn x1. at the time of transfer, she remains febrile to 102 pr with cvp 20, bp 148/78, rr 33, o2 saturation 98% on 3lnc. in the micu, her tunneled line was removed but her cuff stayed in per recs of txp/ir. she had a temporary right sided ij placed and they attempted to dialyze her but she began to experience similar symptoms of nausea, vomiting and malaise so hd was aborted. her ed cultures grew out gnr which were sensitive to ceftriaxone. she was started on rocephin and her white count decreased as did her fever. heparin gtt was started secondary her atrial fibrillation. on , she was tolerating po, feeling better, and endorsing frequent soft bowel movements. she endorses myalgias, chest wall soreness around the site of her line removal, and chronic cough. past medical

mild fluid overload or interstitial edema; no focal opacity demonstrated to suggest pneumonia. . tte (): the left atrium is moderately dilated. there is mild symmetric left ventricular hypertrophy. the left ventricular cavity size is normal. overall left ventricular systolic function is normal (lvef 60%). tissue doppler imaging suggests a stiff left ventricle and an increased left ventricular filling pressure (pcwp>18mmhg). right ventricular chamber size and free wall motion are normal. the aortic arch is mildly dilated. there are focal calcifications in the aortic arch. the aortic valve leaflets (3) are mildly thickened but aortic stenosis is not present. no aortic regurgitation is seen. the mitral valve leaflets are mildly thickened. there is no mitral valve prolapse. mild (1+)

and wide complex tachycardia. now stable on ceftriaxone and amiodarone. afebrile, hemodynamically stable. looking for source of bacteremia. technique: axial images of the chest, abdomen, and pelvis were obtained after uneventful intravenous administration of 130 ml omnipaque. coronal and sagittal reformatted images were constructed. total exam dlp: 1036.33 mgy-cm. findings: chest: imaged portions of thyroid gland are within normal limits. there is no axillary or hilar adenopathy. there are borderline enlarged mediastinal nodes, for example, measuring 1 cm in the left paratracheal location, 9 mm pretracheal, and 12 mm subcarinal. the heart is not enlarged. dense coronary artery calcifications are present. there is also a small amount of aortic valvular calcification (2:30). there is no pericardial or pleural effusion. linear strands of atelectasis or scarring are present at bilateral bases. there is no consolidation or bronchiectasis. the airways are patent to the subsegmental level. abdomen: the liver and pancreas are within normal limits. the spleen is slightly enlarged measuring 14.3 cm. bilateral adrenal nodules are visualized and, per report, are stable since . in the left adrenal gland, there is a 2.8 x 2.4 cm lesion with central fat density, consistent with a myelolipoma. in addition, in the lower aspect of the left adrenal gland, there is a 1.4 x 1.9 cm adrenal nodule. in the inferior aspect of the right adrenal gland, there is a 1.2 x 1.7 cm adrenal nodule. the two smaller adrenal nodules are indeterminate on this examination, however, given long term stability, likely represent adrenal adenomas. there is no intra- or extra-hepatic biliary dilation. the kidneys are atrophic with subcentimeter hypodensities, too small to accurately characterize. there is no hydronephrosis. a 3-mm calcification in the interpolar region of the right kidney (2:66) may represent a vascular calcification versus non-obstructive renal calculus. there

there is bulky calcification at the origin of the right renal artery. there is no aneurysmal dilation. there is no mesenteric or retroperitoneal adenopathy. no free fluid or pneumoperitoneum. bowel loops in the abdomen are unremarkable. pelvis: the bladder, rectum, and adnexa are grossly unremarkable. multiple linear calcifications within the uterus are vascular. the iliac arteries and visualized femoral arteries demonstrate dense atherosclerotic calcification as well. there is no free fluid in the pelvis. a mildly prominent 9-10 mm lymph node along the proximal right external iliac chain (2:90) is essentially unchanged in size from . no additional enlarged lymph nodes are identified in the pelvis. multiple injection granulomas are present in the buttocks. osseous structures: degenerative changes are present within the thoracic and lumbar spine without evidence of wedge compression deformity. there are no destructive osseous lesions. impression: 1. no evidence of intrathoracic, abdominal, or pelvic infection on ct. 2. bilateral adrenal nodules, stable dating back to . 3. extensive atherosclerotic disease as well as coronary artery calcifications and minimal aortic valvular calcification. 4. borderline enlarged mediastinal lymph nodes, not previously imaged. there is no lymphadenopathy elsewhere. these may be reactive, and attention on followup is recommended. ------------- labs while on general medicine. 06:10am blood wbc-7.0 rbc-3.04* hgb-9.9* hct-30.6* mcv-101* mch-32.4* mchc-32.2 rdw-13.6 plt ct-190 06:10am blood wbc-6.0 rbc-3.11* hgb-10.0*

presented to the emergency department febrile to 103, with nausea and vomiting, and tachycardia. blood cultures were drawn and she was started empirically on vancomycin, zoysn, and tobramycin. in the emergency department, she was had wide complex tachycardia. this wct was interpreted as atrial fibrillation with aberrancy with occasional runs of non-sustained ventricular tachycardia. cardiology was consulted and she was loaded on amiodarone. given her septic picture and cardiac dysrhythmia, her tunneled hd line was removed and she was sent to the medical icu. in the medical icu, sensitivities returned showing gram negative rods in bottles which confirmed that the patient had gram negative septicemia. these bacteria were sensitive to ecoli. the tip was cultured and which grew out coagulase negative staph which was sensitive to vancomycin. her antibiotics were narrowed to ceftriaxone. she showed continued response to the ceftriaxone as evidenced by her decreasing white count, lack of fever, and improved energy level and mood. she had a temporary ij placed in the micu for hd; however, hd had to be aborted because when she was initially dialyzed she started to developed nausea, vomiting, and signs hemodynamic instability. as she fever resolved and was hemodynamically stable on the ceftriaxone, the patient was transferred to the general medicine floor for further care. she continued to be treated with ceftriaxone and serial blood cultures were obtained. once her blood cultures were negative for 48 hours, a new tunneled line was placed. the patient was successfully dialyzed. during hd, the patient was given vancomycin per hd sliding scale in order to treat her catheter associated infection. there was no clear source for the patient??????s gram negative septicemia. therefore, we performed a ct torso to look for signs of occult infection. the ct torso was negative for infection but did show stable bilateral adrenal nodules and mediastinal lymphadenopathy which should be further investigated on an outpatient basis. following the tunneled line procedure, she was started on coumadin for stroke prophylaxis in the setting of her new onset atrial fibrillation. cardiology consult was curbsided. they said it would be ok to discontinue the patient??????s amiodarone and discharge her with an event monitor ( of hearts) with close follow up in cardiology clinic to better understand the patient??????s underlying cardiac rhythm abnormalities. the patient??????s hypertension remained difficult to control while on the floor. her hydralazine was increased to 75mg tid, lisinopril 40mg qd, and metoprolol 75mg . her blood pressure would still be in the 150-160s depending on when she was dialyzed. upon discharge, the patient was transitioned to renally dosed cipro 500mg qd for 8 days (total 14 day course). 500mg was chosen because we wanted to aggressive treat her blood stream infection. she will be treated with vancomycin per hd protocol. *****transitional issues******** 1. gram negative septicemia. patient will be treated with a total 14 day course of oral cipro and vancomycin per hd protocol. she should be monitored for any signs or symptoms of worsening infection and consider broadening spectrum of antibiotic coverage if there is clinical concern. 2. atrial fibrillation: i) rate control with metoprolol. avoiding use of amiodarone secondary to long term toxicity and will evaluate dysrhymia with of hearts monitor. she has follow up with the cardiologist, dr. in 2 weeks for further care. ii) the patient was anticoagulated with coumadin for her atrial fibrillation for stroke prophylaxis. her inr will require close monitoring especially when she is taking cipro and as the amiodarone washes out of her system (she received 6 days of loading amiodarone). clinic notified and aware. 3. esrd: patient is being successfully dialyzed with tunneled line but would suggest referral to the clinic at (drs. , )

limited evaluation with the main portal vein again not visualized. however, flow appears present in the left hepatic vein and left hepatic artery. abdominal ascites. - abd x-ray: no evidence for obstruction; ng tube in place. brief hospital course: the patient was initially admitted to micu for severe encephalopathy requiring intubation in the ed for airway protection. she was treated for hepatic encephalopathy, with lactulose and rifaximin. initial cultures revealed carbapenemase-resistant e.coli, for which she was initially treated with nitrofurantoin and amikacin. nitrofurantoin was subsequently discontinued. per id recommendations, antibiotics were changed to colistin, then ultimately to tetracycline. she was weaned off of the ventilator and was transferred to the internal medicine service on . her lactulose dose was increased. her renal function worsened, which was believed likely due to nephrotoxic medications. she was also started on octreotride, midodrine and albumin for hepatorenal syndrome. se was transferred back to micu green on for worsening encephalopathy and labs consistent with low-grade dic, including a ten point hematocrit drop, thrombocytopenia, worsening coagulation studies, and indirect hyperbilirubinemia. hematology was consulted and agreed with diagnosis of dic. over the subsequent days, the patient required large amounts of blood products, including red blood cells, platelets, cryoprecipitate, and fresh frozen plasma. despite these measures, she still had large amounts of bloody output from her rectal tube; she was felt too unstable to undergo any gi procedures, and was treated with further blood transfusions. her significant hypernatremia and hypercalcemia improved to some degree during her stay in the micu. the patient's mental status did not improve, and she was reintubated for hypoxic respiratory failure, which was partially due to a new pneumonia. her mental status was sufficiently poor that she only required intermittent sedation for her endotracheal tube. she had high residuals through her og tube, and tube feeds frequently had to be held. she had frequent bloody secretions from her endotracheal tube; bronchoscopy revealed diffuse oozing of blood throughout her bronchi. multiple family meetings were held, including a meeting with the patient's primary hepatologist, who confirmed that the patient was not a candidate for retransplantation. as the patient's liver disease was believed to be a central factor in her deteriorating condition, measures were transitioned towards making the patient comfortable and prolonging her life only long enough for her family members to be able to say goodbye. she passed away peacefully with her family at her side. medications on admission:

please call virology at within 1 week if additional testing is needed. respiratory viral antigen screen (final ): less than 60 columnar epithelial cells; specimen inadequate for detecting respiratory viral infection by dfa testing. interpret all negative results from this specimen with caution. negative results should not be used to discontinue precautions. refer to respiratory viral culture results. recommend new sample be submitted for confirmation. reported to and read back by nishan,techekmedyian 10:30am 10:53 am sputum source: endotracheal. **final report ** gram stain (final ): <10 pmns and <10 epithelial cells/100x field. no microorganisms seen. quality of specimen cannot be assessed. respiratory culture (final ): commensal respiratory flora absent. yeast. sparse growth. blood culture/urine culture and stool for cdiff at multiple times were negative =========== imaging: =========== cxray on : chest single frontal view. findings: single frontal view of the chest was obtained. the lungs remain hyperinflated. again seen is biapical scarring and evidence of bullous disease. there is increased opacity at the lateral right lung base which could relate to underlying scarring and is likely similar in appearance to ct from scout view. however, underlying infectious process cannot be entirely excluded in the appropriate clinical setting. cardiac and mediastinal silhouettes are stable as compared to . chest ct on : impression: 1. bilateral intrapulmonary pleural tubes deep in both lungs, responsible for bleeding into bullae and, on the left, into the lung. 2. right lower lobe pneumonia or bloody aspiration. 3. extensive, bilateral subcutaneous emphysema. no pneumothorax,hemothorax or chest wall blood collectio. placement. 4. acute, widespread bronchial inflammation. 5. granulomatous calcification in liver and thoracic lymph nodes. no evidence of active infection. 6. asbestos related pleural plaques. chest ct on : impression: 1. potential malposition of the newly placed right-sided chest tube in the lung parenchyma, potentially draining emphysematous lung instead of the pleural space. in addition, the sidehole of the new tube is located right at the chest wall. 2. removal of the pre-existing right chest tube and of the pre-existing left chest tube. at both the levels of the previous right and left tubes, there could be a direct communication between the intrathoracic and the extrathoracic space. 3. massive increase in extent of the pre-existing air collection in the soft tissues suggesting presence of an air leak. 4. mild increase in extent of a pre-existing right lower lobe opacity, now accompanied by a small right pleural effusion. 5. otherwise, the lung parenchyma is unchanged, including some air-fluid levels in bullae at the left apex. chest ct on : impression: 1. markedly severe subcutaneous gas and pneumomediastinum, a finding which is progressively worsening since . 2. malpositioned right chest tube, with the tip terminating within the lung parenchyma of the right upper lobe, a finding which is unchanged since . 3. gas tracking along the sites of previous right and left chest tubes, raising the possibility of ongoing extrathoracic air leak. 4. redemonstration of right lower lobe and left apical air-fluid levels, similar to those seen most recently. 5. redemonstration of bilateral pulmonary consolidation, with slight interval worsening on the left. ct torso w contrast on : impression: 1. interval increase in the size of bilateral pulmonary consolidations. given their location they are most compatible with aspiration pneumonia. 2. significant decrease in the subcutaneous gas in comparison to prior examination. 3. malpositioned right chest tube with the tip terminating within the lung parenchyma of the right upper lobe. 4. unchanged right lower lobe and left apical air-fluid levels, an infection can not be excluded. 5. mild interval increase in the size of right pleural effusion. 6. new, small left pleural effusion is seen. 7. new ascites is identified. 8. unchanged hypodense lesion in the head of the pancreas. the lesion's mr features are suggestive of a benign serous neoplasm. cxray on : findings: there is moderate amount of right-sided subcutaneous emphysema which is similar in appearance compared to prior. right-sided chest tube is again visualized. there is no increase in the pneumothorax. bilateral parenchymal opacities are again visualized and not significantly changed. the tracheostomy tube is in standard location. right subclavian line tip is in the mid svc. =============== procedures: =============== bronch on : rigid and flexible bronchoscopy with percutaneous dilational tracheostomy and serial airway balloon occlusion. surgeon: dr. , co-surgeon: dr. , fellow: dr. . following intubation, the lower airways were evaluated through the segments with the flexible bronchoscope. there were no endobronchial abnormalities. thick secretions were aspirated from both lower lobes. the rigid bronchoscope was pulled back and a finder needle used to localize a position between the 2nd and 3rd tracheal rings. following creation of a 1 cm skin incision as the prior tracheostomy site, blunt dissection to the trachea was performed. wire introduction with serial dilation resulted in the straightforward placement of a #8 portex per-fit. a #7 balloon was then used to identify the bpf. thiw was localized to the rul impression: 78m with respiratory failure and bronchopleural fistula. rigid and flexible bronchoscopy with successful percutaneous dilational tracheostomy, and serial airway balloon occlusion was performed with identification of an air leak from all three rul segments. bronch on : findings: flexible bronchoscopy with intrabronchial valve placement. asst: md, md. airways were examined through the segments. thick secretions were aspirated from all segments bilaterally. the endobronchial sizing balloon was used to determine the diameter of the apical rul segment while monitoring for decrease in chest tube leak. a 7mm intrabronchial valve was placed without difficulty. the anterior segment of the rul was next sized, again documenting a decrease in the chest tube air leak. a 6 mm valve was placed in this location without complication. the balloon was used to occlude the posterior segment, however no decrease in the leak was noted. similarly occlusion of the rml and rll bronchi did not result in decreased leak. there were no complications. impression: 78m w/ persistent right sided bronchopleural fistula and respiratory failure. flexible bronchoscopy with intrabronchial valve placement in the anterior and apical segments of the rul was performed with decrease in the air leak. brief hospital course: mr. was a 77 yo m with a h/o copd (fev1 22%, 3-4l baseline home oxygen) htn, afib who presented with dyspnea to the ed in mid . he was then intubated for hypoxemic respiratory failure leading to a long hospitalization course which was complicated by having multiple chest tube placed and developing subcutaneous air leakage, requiring trach placement, pneumonia, sepsis, acute renal failure and choledolytiasis. #hypoxemic resp failure- the patient had a pmh significant for very severe copd on home o2 and he was admitted for respiratory distress leading to hypercarbichypoxemic respiratory failure thought to be related to his copd. on arrival the the ed he was initially placed on bipap which he continue to be hypoxic and hypotensive, there was a concern for pneumothorax given his hx of blebs on ct scan. he then had a needle placed on a right lung needle decompression was performed. upon entry of the needle into the thorax, a large rush of air return was noted, however the patient continued to be hypotensive and a needle compression was also subsequently performed on the left. he remained hypotensive and pressors were started in addition to have bil chest tubes placed. both chest tubes were subsequently seen in the lung on ct imaging. likely had right pneumo with potential bleb which burst upon intubation on the right side, potentially causing a bronchopleural fistula. possible right lower lobe infiltrate seen on imaging and he was covered with vancomycin and cefepime. left chest tube was removed by thoracics on day # 2 with no pneumothorax seen on subsequent imaging. right chest tube was readjusted by thoracics on day #2 and they felt it was placed in the pleural space, even though ct chest revealed possible position in lung. he ended up being bronch x 2 was negative for bronchpleural fistula and dah. he developed a diffused emphysematous air leak that progressively worsen and he ended up having 2 bronhcial valve placed on with some improvement of the air leakage and subcutaneous air. he was intially treated with steroids for 4 days because of copd exacerbation and azithromycin for 5 days, with standing nebs. he was also started on vanco and cefepime for a ? pneumonia on the rll, although there was no bacaterial growth from the cultures or the bronchial lavage. the viral cultures and sputum cultures were also negative. he was also negative for legionella. there was some suction trauma in the airways seen on bronch. there were many attempts to place pt on pressure support for trials of sbt which he failed due to labile bp and agitation. once sedation was lighten, the patient would become more agitated, sbp would then range from 150s-160s by bp cuff and up to the 200s in the a-line . his agitation and hypertension was thought to be related to icu delirium, he was then started on haldol prn then switched to dosing of seroquel. his drips were also changed: he was weanned off versed and had fentanyl bolus as needed for pain. this seem to have helped with the agitation, but his bp remained labile. he was restarted on some of his anti-hypertensive medicaitions and he would then become hypotensive. we also attempted diureses given that he had received a significant amount of fluid during his micu stay, in hopes that this would help with his extubation. his pcos was also very high which he was then allowed to have permisse hypercarbia given his significant hx of copd which was thought to help his respiratory drive. given his sginficant copd hx w/ recent hx of trach in and failure of sbts regardless of multiple attempts, he had a tracheostomy and a peg tube placed by ip. this was after several discussions with the family and while asking the patient when he was more alert if this was his wishes. he then had a 2 bronhcial valve placed on , after the placmenet of his trach as noted above. he had some improvement of the air leakage, however his respiratory status detiorated and he could no longer tolerate his trach mask. he developed bleeding from multiple sites including the trach and had visual blood at times in the et tube. he also had a repeat bronch that showed some bronchial bleeding. he also became febrile and hypotensive requiring 2 pressors. this was thought to be related to sepsis/septic shock. his antibiotics were then switched from vanco and cefepime which he was on for a 14 day course () to tx hap pneumonia to linezolid and given concern for resistant bacteria. he had pan culture and repeat chest ct that showed interval increase in the size of bilateral pulmonary consolidations which were most compatible with aspiration pneumonia. unchanged right lower lobe and left apical air-fluid levels, an infection can not be excluded and mild interval increase in the size of right pleural effusion and new, small left pleural effusion is seen. he also had abd and pelvis ct that showed distended gall bladder with hyperemia and pericholecystic fluid consistent with acute cholecystitis, no definite stone identified. there was some hyperemia in the liver along the gallbladder fossa as well as hyperemia of the colon along the hepatic flexure, both likely due to secondary inflammation. this was concerning for acute cholecystitis and the surgical team was consulted. their recommendation was to have a percutaneous gallbladder drain placed, however after discussion with the family they did not want to escalate care or have any surgical interventions. they started having the discussion about changing goals of care to cmo. so he was continued on linezolid/ and added cipro which was then switched to tobramycin and given concern for gallbladder/gi related bacteria leading to sepsis. we were unable to wean him off pressors and he was then requiring max dose of levophed. the family then decided to do not escalate his care and avoid any procedure while they waited for his daughters to arrive from , so his code status would be changed to cmo. he then passed way on the early evening of surrounded by his family. . # sepsis: he became hypotensive during his initial presentation, and with ? opacity in his rll concerning for pneumonia. given the severity of his illness and his tenous clinical status he was then started emperically on vancomycin and cefepime. in addition of the azithromycin x 5 days for copd exacerbation. he had bronch lavage and pan cultures sent which were all negative; however pt persisted with ? pneumonia on image and he was initially treated for 8 day course of antibiotics which was prolonged to 14 days since his clinical picture was still concerning for infection and he had increase in his wbc and recent procedure with placement of bronchial valves. on his last day of antibiotics he then developed a significant fever with increase in his wbc to 19 k , hypotension requiring pressors, low urinary out up. his lft's also had a marked increase to alt 4830, ast 7800, ap 114. his tbili: 1.9, dbili: 1.3, ldh: 6550, irn 1.8 were also elevated with decrease in his hct 29 which was initially concerning for dic or hemolytic anemia. as noted above he had ct torso with ? developement of new pneumonia and ct abd showed distended gall bladder with hyperemia and pericholecystic fluid consistent with acute cholecystitis. abx were changed to vanco, linezolid, meropenem and tobaramycin. r sc line changed thinking of possible infectious sources. surgery was consulted and recommended a percutaneous drain which the family refused given change in goals of care to do not do any invassive procedures and preeceding his cmo code status. he was requiring maximun dose of levophed prior to him being made cmo and his renal function was worsen while his transaminitis were slightly improving. all his cultures remained negative. # labile bp: he was initially hypotensive which was thought to be related to intubation and high peep with potential right sided pneumo and possible sepsis. levophed was weaned off on day # 2. he then became hypertensive with sbp at times up to the 200s during awake trials which was thought to be related to agitation and possible pain related to the chest tube and diffused subcatenous air. so he was treated for delerium/anxiety with changes in his drips adding standing seroquel. his pain was also treated with fentanyl bolus. however, even though his agitation improved he would still have episodes of hypertension. he was then started on some of his home meds including losartan and carvedilol, in addition to lasix and as needed labetolol. he then would have episodes of hypotension post medications. so we decreased home dose of medications and tried labetolol as needed. we had discussed starting on nitro drip for better bp controlled, however he became hypotensive in the setting of sepsis and all his antihypertensives were stopped. we checked cortisol levels and attempted an echo which was unable to give us us image given amount of subcutaneous air in his chest. family did not want an tee since this was more inavasive. . #atrial pt had hx of a-fib with rvr. i spoke to his pcp who stated that this happened several years ago and pt did not want to take coumadin. he was initially rate controlled and as he became septic around he started having episodes of a-fib with rvr and hypotension. we attempted to give small dose of bb then later ccb which lead to worse hypotension, he was then started on amioderone and his rythm was reverted to sinus. however he continued to have significant hypotension and amio was stopped. he did not required addition meds. # acute renal failure: creatinine tripled over 3 days in the setting of hypotension and ? septic shock, likely atn given hypotension and increase over the last several days. fena 0.98%, consistent with prerenal. initially responsive to fluid bolus, he overall became fluid + by 18 l. his uo had been decreasing and became minimal on the day of his death. we had previously discussed with the family possibility of cvvh however given changes in goals of care this was not done # transaminitis: his alt peaked in the 4000s while ast in the 7000s on the same day as his hypotension. patient with ct abdomen/pelvis showed dialated gallbladder, concerning for cholecystitis, less likely cholangitis particularly in light of fevers and leukocytosis. the patient??????s elevated lft??????s are likely also due to shocked liver during hypotension leading to transient hypoperfusion given the degree of elevation. surgery was consulted initially t for question of percutaneous drain placement for the distended gallbladder, which may be a source of sepsis; however family decided to not have any invasive procedures. antibiotics were broadened as noted above. giving fluids and pressors to maintaining maps>65. his lfts were trending down. we also held tylenol and other liver toxic medications. # anemia/bleeding: hct has been stable s/p 2 units prbc . no evidence of melena or active gi bleed. on and on pt had oozing from multiple sites including trachea, et tube, with et suction, around central line, catheter and rectal tube. his ldh was up, as well as his tbil which was concerning for dic/ hemolytic anemia. his fibrinogen was normal and his smear did not show , less likely to be dic. his hct and plalets remained stable. his inr peaked at 1.8 in the setting of ? shock liver continued to trend down. he did not required transfusion and his bleeding improved. # delerium: this was thought to be due to likely icu delirium, in the setting of pain/respiratory status/anxiety. he his versed drip was stopped and he was placed on seroquel in addition to the celexa that he was on. he also had small doses of ativan as needed. we treated his pain with fentanyl which was then switched to morphine which he appeared much more comfortable on this regimen. . # fen: iv fluids as needed, replete electrolytes, npo and he had peg tube placed which he was receiving tube feeds # prophylaxis: subcutaneous heparin # access:

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: morphine attending: chief complaint: abdominal pain major surgical or invasive procedure: 1. gastric pacer placement 2. jejunostomy tube placement 3. picc placement history of present illness: this is a 34 y/o m w /h/o diabetes, on insulin pump, gastroparesis, peptic ulcer disease, who is transferred from osh ( hospital, ri), after 6 week stay for nausea, vomiting and abdominal pain, for gastric pacemaker placement. in brief, the patient reports ongoing pain symptoms for the past one year, with difficulty tolerating pos and constant nausea. this most recent admission resulted after he had several episodes of vomiting and acute mid-epigastric abdominal pain not relieved with outpatient pain meds. the pain ranges from to in intensity. it is similar to prior pain episodes. no radiation to the flank or back. no associated fever, chills, night sweats, brbpr or melanotic stools. for the past two months he had been only taking in only limited pos and had been on chronic tpn. tpn discontinued at osh and started on j tube with tube feedings. pain controlled with iv dilaudid. attempt to wean over last week from 4mg q3 to 3mg q3 to 1.5mg q3, however

and recommended gastric pacer placement given duration of symptoms and failure of medical therapy. gastric pacer placed by dr. on . post-operatively he went to the hospitalist service for recovery and further management. however, on the hospitalist service, attempts had been made to control his hyperglycemia with boluses from the patient's insulin pump as well as sc insulin on a scale. unfortunately despite intensive efforts this was not successful in lowering the glucose and narrowing the anion gap, and the patient remained in dka. . micu course: the patient was transferred to the icu in dka, where he was put on an insulin drip, and his glucose came under control overnight, and his anion gap narrowed to within normal limits. he continued to have significant pain which was treated with a hydromorphone pca. he received tube feeds and was transitioned to subcutaneous insulin scale. he was transferred back to the hospitalist service. post-micu course: the patient's diet was advanced, while tube feeds were continued, for his malnutrition. the patient's pain significant improved and his hydromorphone pca was rapidly tapered over 3 days. a plan was made that the patient would not continue any opioids on discharge. he was instructed to remain on j-tube feeds until further evaluation by his gastroenterologist. medications on admission: reglan 10mg qid trazadone 75mg

cxr : findings: in comparison with the study of , the tracheostomy tube remains in place. there is increasing opacification at the right base, most likely consistent with atelectasis and pleural effusion. in the proper clinical setting, supervening pneumonia must be considered. no evidence of vascular congestion. the right lung and upper half of the left lung are clear. tracheostomy tube remains in place. tracheal tissue : squamous mucosa with acute and chronic inflammation, granulation tissue, and focal necrosis. brief hospital course: this is a 72-year-old gentleman with a pmhx of cad, cabg, dmii, htn, with tracheal y stent with external fixation presenting with acute shortness of breath, likely mechanical from shifting of stent, now s/p stent removal by ip on and trach placement. . # dyspnea/stridor: initial dyspnea in this patient may be multifactorial, with contributions from stent migration (patient has had similar complications in the past), infection/pna, or aspiration. the sudden-onset dyspnea that the patient experienced most likely relates to the collapse of the left lung seen on imaging from the osh. this event may also have been related to stent displacement occluding the left mainstem bronchus or to mucous plugging, bronchomalacia, or other mechanical event. this problem seems to have been corrected following intubation, as cxr here shows generally clear lungs although there appears to be a l-sided effusion or ?partial collapse obscuring the left heart border. patient has a history of cad and is s/p cabg, although last echo shows normal lvef and no overt evidence of chf. stridor suggests upper airway constriction, which could be related to underlying stenosis/post-surgical changes or to upward migration of the stent. the patient was given albuterol mdi (in place of home nebs), fluticasone, gabapentin, and sigulair. mucomyst was held to avoid bronchospasm and tussin was held to assist the patient with clearing secretions. rigid bronchoscopy on showed stent migration, and the stent was removed; necrotic tissue at the buttonhole was debrided. he was able to be weaned from the ventillator and maintained on trach mask with good o2 sats. he was therefore called out to the general medicine floor on . he returned to the or on for repeat rigid bronchoscopy, during which time ip just "took a look" and saw continued inflammation and necrotic tissue. the stent was not replaced at that time, and patient was discharged with a trach. mr. will return to next week for another bronchoscopy, at which time stent may be replaced. . # leukocytosis: patient had mild leukocytosis on admission with elevated pmns but no bands. this was felt possibly secondary to inflammation induced by stent displacement vs. underlying infection (pulmonary source most likely). patient was afebrile on admission. sputum returned with coag + staph (speciated as mrsa) and the patient developed increased secretions, so he was covered with antibiotics. vancomycin was started on ; mr. was discharged on doxycycline 100mg q12 for the next 3 days to complete an 8 day course on . . # chronic renal failure: creatinine trending up from baseline of 2.1 to 2.5 during admission, with a creatinine of 2.2 upon discharge. urine lytes with na 56, fena 1.69%. . # anemia: likely secondary to chronic disease/renal insufficiency. patient takes procrit injections as outpatient. . # microscopic hematuria: patient has had similar findings on multiple prior u/a's. could relate to placement of foley (traumatic) but cannot exclude underlying bladder pathology. review shows large blood but minimal rbcs, ?hemo/myoglobinuria. ck normal and normal coags. repeat u/a during admission still showed blood, but decreased amount from prior. this issue should be further explored as an outpatient. . # dm ii: stable; though with some fs > 200. home glargine regimen was increased from 18units qam to 20units qam. patient was also maintained on an insulin sliding scale during admission. however, blood sugars still ranged from ~140-250. . # cad: denied any chest pain. ekg at baseline. continued on home meds amlodipine, metoprolol, simvastatin. . # htn: well-controlled. continued on amlodipine 10mg daily and lasix 40mg daily. . # asthma: continued on fluticasone, singulair, and albuterol nebs prn; mucomyst held as above given risks of bronchospasm. fexofenadine also held during this admission (loratadine not formulary). . # insomnia: continued on home trazodone. . # anemia: patient carries a diagnosis of

right atrium is moderately dilated. left ventricular wall thicknesses are normal. the left ventricular cavity is moderately dilated. overall left ventricular systolic function is normal (lvef>55%). right ventricular chamber size and free wall motion are normal. the aortic root is mildly dilated at the sinus level. the aortic valve leaflets (3) are mildly thickened. there is no aortic valve stenosis. no aortic regurgitation is seen. the mitral valve leaflets are mildly thickened. trivial mitral regurgitation is seen. there is mild pulmonary artery systolic hypertension. there is no pericardial effusion. no definite evidence of diastolic dysfunction found. compared with the prior study (images reviewed) of , estimated pulmonary artery pressure is now higher. no evidence of asd is seen in either study. ecg: sinus rhythm. normal tracing. compared to the previous tracing there is no significant change. cxr: lungs are fully expanded and clear. no pleural effusion. heart size top normal. vascular clips and stents denote prior upper abdominal surgery, perhaps tips as well. abd ultrasound with doppler: 1. small volume lumen of the gallbladder, which folds upon itself and has mobile stones within it. the appearance is unchanged from the study obtained two days prior. although, there is gallbladder wall edema, given the lack of changes, lack of distention and the mobility of the calculi, these findings are unlikely to represent acute cholecystitis. in this patient's setting of decreased albumin and elevated lfts/bilirubin, the gallbladder wall edema is more likely secondary to chronic hepatic disease. 2. liver morphology consistent with cirrhosis. 3. splenomegaly. 4. patent tips shunt. ecg: normal sinus rhythm. the tracing is within normal limits and unchanged from tracing of . right heart cardiac catheterization: comments: 1. right heart catheterization demonstrated elevated right sided filling pressures with mean rap 14mmhg and rvedp 24mmhg. there was mild to moderate pulmonary arterial hypertension (48/20mmhg, mean 35mmhg). mean pcwp was modestly elevated at 29mmhg. pulmonary vascular resistance was not elevated at rest. with administration of iv nitroglycerine bolus at 200mcg, there was a reduction in mean pcwp to 18mmhg and pa pressures to 30/17mmhg (mean 25mmhg). 2. there was no significant intracardiac left to right shunt. 3. cardiac output was elevated, consistent with chronic liver disease state. final diagnosis: 1. mild to moderate pulmonary hypertension secondary to left heart failure (left ventricular diastolic dysfunction and fluid overload). 2. normal left ventricular systolic function. 3. no significant intracardiac left to right shunt. 4. normal pulmonary vascular resistance. ecg: sinus rhythm. normal tracing.

enhancement; however, three prominent areas of washout are identified, and continued surveillance of these areas is recommended. 2. cholelithiasis, with no definite signs of acute cholecystitis. gallbladder wall edema is likely secondary to cirrhosis and may be related also to hypoalbuminemia given diffuse anasarca. 3. 4-mm pancreatic body cyst. attention on followup is recommended. brief hospital course: 48 year old male with chronic hepatitis c complicated by cirrhosis, gastric variceal bleed, tips placement, ascites, peripheral edema and hepatic encephalopathy with 1 day ago developed sudden, constant, bilateral, sharp abdominal pain. the following issues were addressed at this admission: # ruq abdominal pain. the patient continued to complain of ruq abdominal pain throughout this admission, which waxed and waned from maximum of ~ to 0/10. he was still experiencing some mild pain at the time of discharge. imaging of the abdomen by ultrasound and eventually mri (see reports above) was pertinent for patent tips and no clear evidence of cholangitis, cholecystitis, stone or capsular bleed which could explain the patient's symptoms. the associated elevations in liver enzymes and bilirubin were felt most likely to be secondary to worsening of the patient's underlying liver disease. the etiology of the patient's pain was never fully clarified, but given the improvement in his symptoms and negative imaging, the patiet was discharged home. # chest pain. during this admission, the patient repeatedly complained of chest pain that felt like "i'm having a heart attack." on all of these occasions, exam was pertinent for right sided pain involving the ruq of the abdomen and extending up into the chest; pressure over the right upper quadrant reproduced the pain. multiple ekgs and 3 sets of cardiac enzymes were obtained (see "results" above) to rule out ischemia; all were negative. this pain was therefore felt to be of the same etiology as the patient's abdominal pain. # altered mental status. this was evident on admission to the micu; the patient received lactulose and rifaximin with good result suggesting hepatic encephalopathy. however, multiple doses of narcotic pain medication led to decreased bowel movements, which caused cognitive slowing and impairment in orientation. the patient was strongly encouraged to avoid naroctic pain medication in the future if possible, as these medications are likely to precipitate hepatic encephalopathy. he was alert and oriented to person, place and date at the time of discharge. # anasarca. the patient was found to be extremely volume-overloaded, with massive superficial peripheral edema pitting up to the mid-abdomen. at its worst, there was some weeping from the lower extremities due to extreme skin distension. the patient also had a very edematous scrotum, causing him discomfort. physical activity to mobilize fluid was encouraged, and diuretic dosing was increased cautiously to 40 mg furosemide and 50 mg spironolactone to avoid arf and hyperkalemia. if the patient's renal function and potassium will tolerate higher doses, these should be attempted as an outpatient. the importance of strict adherence to a low-sodium diet was emphasized to the patient. of note, he had been taking furosemide in early for several weeks to try to reduce swelling, but this medication was discontinued prior to admission because it was felt to be ineffective. after the patient stopped using furosemide, the swelling began to worsen again. # leukocytosis. the patient presented with leukocytosis on admission. this may have been secondary to an inflammatory process in the liver as above. there was no fever or evidence of sepsis, and blood cultures, cxr and u/a were negative for evidence of infection. the patient's wbc count trended down to baseline within several days of admission. # pulmonary hypertension. the patient underwent echocardiogram which showed evidence of elevated pulmonary artery pressures. because severe pulmonary hypertension is a contraindication to liver transplant, the patient was evaluated by the cardiology service and taken for right heart catheterization (report as above) to evaluate filling pressures. the procedure was performed through the radial artery given anasarca/swelling around the groin. pressures were found to be compatible with transplantation. # acute renal failure. initially the patient was found to be in acute renal failure with creatinine levels of 1.8 to 1.9. diuretics were held and renal function normalized and remained stable even after the re-initiation of diuretics. # hyponatremia. the patient was hyponatremic on presentation to 127, slightly below his baseline. with careful attention to low sodium diet and gentle diuresis, sodium level normalized prior to discharge. # hyperkalemia. possibly secondary to acute renal failure or spironolactone use. he received kayexelate early in his stay to help to normalize k values. his potassium was normal range at the time of discharge but should be monitored periodically especially with changes to his diuretic regimen. he had no ekg changes related to elevated potassium. # anemia. the patient's hct was noted to be below his baseline. stool was guaiac negative and there was no evidence of active bleed (no hematemesis, melena). the patient's anemia was likley multifactorial, with contributions from renal failure, chronic illness, and frequent blood draws. he should be monitored in the future to evaluate for worsening anemia. # chronic hepatitis c, cirrhosis. patient is already s/p tips (patent per imaging). the patient's symptoms during this admission may represent decompensation of his underlying disease. he is currently child- class b-c, and melds were ~25-29 during his stay. he is currently on the liver transplant list through , although he has several siblings who would be interested in becoming live donors (procedure not performed at ) and he has explored listing on the transplant list for this reason. given his high meld scores, he may not be a good candidate for live donor transplantation. this situation was discussed at length with the patient and his family. for now, he will remain listed on the transplant list. # 4-mm pancreatic cyst. noted on mri imaging (see report). per radiology recommendations, this will require follow up in the future. unlikely to contribute to symptoms at this time. medications on admission: clotrimazole 50mg po daily folic acid 1mg po daily lactulose 20g po tid protonix 40mg po

transferred to with a complaint of abdominal pain. ct scan, abdominal ultrasound, mri, and egd did not show a clear cause for your pain, but ruled out conditions that would require emergent intervention. your pain improved over the course of your stay. while you were here, you were noted to have a very low hematocrit (red blood cell level). there was no evidence that you were actively bleeding. you received 3 units of packed rbcs to raise your hematocrit to a safer level. in addition, you were noted to have significant swelling in your legs, groin and abdomen. this swelling is due to excess fluid that accumulates because of your liver disease. we have made changes to your diuretic regimen that we hope will help to decrease swelling. we have made the following changes to your medication regimen: - increase dose of lactulose as needed to ensure bowel movements daily (ok to take as often as every 1-2 hours) - begin taking lasix (furosemide) 40 mg by mouth twice daily - begin taking aldactone (spironolactone) 50 mg by mouth daily - take as needed ultram (tramadol) 50 mg every 8 hours as needed for pain - take as needed tylenol (acetominophen) 500 mg every 6 hours as needed for pain please keep your follow up appointment as directed below. followup instructions: # ultrasound phone: date/time: 9:00 # liver: , md phone: date/time: 10:40 you will need to have your

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: patient recorded as having no known allergies to drugs attending: chief complaint: sepsis secondary to perforated sigmoid diverticulitis major surgical or invasive procedure: exploratory laparotomy, sigmoidectomy, transverse end colostomy history of present illness: 86 yom with recently diagosed infiltrative glioma as well as htn, who p/w 1-2 weeks of decreased po intake and fatigue, found by niece to have hr in 160s. patient notes that he has not been eating and drinking normally in the last week. he states he has had no desire to eat or drink. he thinks it may be due to his steroids. he also notes feeling generally fatigued. normally he can go up a flight of stairs without difficulty but has not been able to do so in the last week. he otherwise denies fevers, chills, cough, diarrhea, urinary complaints, chest pain, shortness of breath, palpitations, lightheadedness, orthopnea, pnd. he does note some lower extremity swelling since starting steroids. he also notes balance problems over the last few months as well as intermittent dysarthria. however, he denies and vision changes, numbness, weakness, bowel or bladder incontinence, or loss of consciousness. . in the ed, t 96.0, bp 98/57, hr 140. ekg showed aflutter in the 150s as well as possible coarse afib. patient has no prior history of afib/flutter. patient was felt to be very dry on exam and ivfs were begun in both arms. he received diltiazem 10 mg iv x 2 with hrs decreasing to the 100s but sbps also dropping to the 80s. hrs then jumped back into the 130s-140s and a diltiazem drip was started. patient then converted to sinus rhythm and diltiazem drip was discontinued. however, he remained hypotensive. given that patient is on steroids as an outpatient for recently diagnosed glioma, differential of adrenal insufficiency was considered and he was given 100 mg of hydrocortisone iv. a cxr was performed which was unremarkable as was a u/a. however, labs were significant for a leukocytosis of 14,000 with a left shift including 11% bands. a set of cardiac enzymes were drawn which were negative. he received 4 l of ns in the ed with sbps in high 80s low 90s at the time of transfer to the floor but patient was awake, alert, and mentating. . of note, recently admitted to on the neuro service when he presented with 24 hours of dysarthria and several weeks of dizziness/lightheadedness. his exam was significant for dysarthria, left gaze nystagmus, and left hemiataxia at that time. a ct showed right posterior limb capsule lesion consistent with cavernoma. mri showed extensive signal abnormality involving the left temporal lobe, left superior cerebellum, and left lateral mid brain. a low-grade neoplasm (i.e. glioma) is the most likely diagnosis. neuro-oncology was consulted and felt presentation and imaging was consistent with gliomatosis cerebri. radiation oncology was also consulted. aspirin was discontinued while in house in preparation for brain biospy which was performed on . . past medical history: # gliomatosis cerebri -infiltrative glioma: l temporal lobe,insula,left cerebellum, brainstem diagnosed - began whole brain cranial radiation recommended due to infiltrative nature (28 treatments scheduled) - also treated with daily temozolomide but stopped due to thrombocytopenia # dm # htn # gout # hyperlipidemia # h/o tia

identified. 2. stable appearance of pulmonary arterial congestion. . ct head : 1. no hemorrhage. 2. abnormality in the left medial temporal lobe and left cerebellum, unchanged and corresponds to the previously described changes on prior mra examination. 3. stable right parietal white matter lesion that was previously described as a cavernoma. 4. no significant change from prior study. attending note: there is hypodensity in the superior cerebellum with mild compression of 4th ventricle due to leptomeningeal disease seen on previous mri. the findings are unchanged. no hydrocephalus seen. . mri head : 1) extensive signal abnormality involving the left temporal lobe, left superior cerebellum, and left lateral mid brain. given the additional history provided of several months of ataxia and gait difficulties, differential considerations include a low-grade neoplasm (i.e. glioma), subacute infarction, or an infectious encephalitis (viral, listeria), though the latter would be somewhat atypical without a more acute presentation. correlation with clinical presentation and comparison with the recent mri performed at an outside hospital would be extremely helpful. 2) right parietal white matter lesion, corresponding to the ct finding is consistent with a cavernoma. 3) 2-mm outpouching from the right supraclinoid ica, at the origin of the pcom; this could represent an infundibulum or a very tiny aneurysm. 4) mild stenosis of the origin of the right vertebral artery. . 11:30 pm blood culture **final report ** aerobic bottle (final ): corynebacterium species

negative rod(s). moderate growth. of three colonial morphologies. viridans streptococci. quantitation not available. of two colonial morphologies. pseudomonas aeruginosa. moderate growth. brief hospital course: 86 yom with recently diagosed infiltrative glioma p/w decreased po intake, fatigue, and tachycardia found to be in aflutter, admitted to micu for hypotension. blood cultures from grew out corynebacterium species. pt was transferred to the floor. however, on pod5 the pt was triggered for marked nursing concern. abdominal xray demonstrated free air and ct abdomen/pelvis on demonstrated extraluminal collection in llq w/dissection of air into retroperitoneum and small b/l pleural effusions. pt was taken to the or for exploratory laparotomy where it was found that he had perforated sigmoid diverticulitis. a sigmoid colectomy with end colostomy was performed. postoperatively, the pt could not be extubated so he was transferred to the trauma sicu. while in the t-sicu the patient developed ards. this subsequently advanced to multi-system organ failure. a family meeting with the oncology team, surgical team, t-sicu team, and palliative care on hd 13 resulted in the family's decision to institute comfort measures only. per the family's request, cmo measures were instituted and the patient was extubated. the patient was pronounced at 2035 on . medications on

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 and summary of hospital course in the intensive care unit: patient is a 55-year-old man with history of coronary artery disease status post catheterization with left anterior descending stents, chronic back pain status post multiple surgeries, hypothyroidism, hypertension, non-hodgkin's lymphoma status post chemotherapy and radiation, prostate cancer status post prostatectomy, and nephrolithiasis, transferred to on from outside hospital, where he was intubated for respiratory distress after being found to have multilobar pneumonia, acute renal failure, rhabdomyolysis, methicillin-sensitive staph aureus bacteremia. patient initially was brought to the outside hospital after being found on the floor of his apartment bathroom, and he had been on the floor for an unknown period of time, but not more than seven hours. cause of the patient being on the floor was thought to be either accidental drug overdose as the patient was on chronic narcotics for lower back pain or sepsis. upon admission to the intensive care unit at on , the patient was febrile, hypotensive, and hypoxic requiring pressors and ventilatory support. his white blood count was elevated and he was also in acute renal failure, but his creatinine was already trending down from 4.1 at the outside hospital to 2.1 upon admission here. patient was initially on vancomycin and levofloxacin for broad coverage given his persistent fevers. workup for the source of his bacteremia was undertaken with cat scan of the torso without evidence of abscess or osteomyelitis, although lumbar spine imaging was suboptimal due to the patient's metallic hardware. the cat scan did show multilobar pneumonia and bilateral pleural effusions. echocardiogram on showed no evidence of vegetations, left ventricular ejection fraction of 59% and no focal wall motion abnormalities. the patient's antibiotic regimen was switched numerous times in the intensive care unit, but eventually changed to just vancomycin after a negative workup and after the patient's sputum grew methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus. patient's acute renal failure resolved with aggressive hydration.

bun and creatinine of 70/2.1. alt 83, ast 182, ck 2286. concise summary of hospital course on the medicine floor: see history of present illness above for details of the course in the intensive care unit. 1. infectious disease/pulmonary: upon transfer to the medicine floor, the patient was afebrile without significant respiratory symptoms for the remainder of his hospital stay. as described in the history of present illness above, the patient was extubated on , and was satting well on nasal cannula and then on room air by . patient with sputum that was methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus positive. cat scan in the icu showed multilobar pneumonia. patient also reported with methicillin-sensitive staph aureus bacteremia at the outside hospital. patient's white blood count trended down and was within normal limits by the time he was transferred out of the intensive care unit. infectious disease was consulted and followed the patient throughout his hospital stay. infectious disease workup in the intensive care unit was done as outlined in the history of present illness including cat scan of the torso, echocardiogram, and blood cultures. on the medicine floor, mri of the spine with and without contrast showed no evidence of abscess or osteomyelitis, but the study is limited by metallic lumbar spine hardware. mri of the head with and without contrast showed bilateral subdural hematomas without enhancing lesions or acute hemorrhage. surveillance blood cultures did not grow bacteria. the subclavian catheter tip was sent for culture and did not grow any bacteria either. a transesophageal echocardiogram was completed on to evaluate for endocarditis and showed no evidence of valvular vegetations, left ventricular ejection fraction greater than 55%, normal wall motion, normal cavity sizes. patient was continued on vancomycin, which was restarted on , which he tolerated well. vancomycin peak and trough serum levels were tested and were at target, so the patient was continued on his current dosing. per infectious disease recommendations, plan to continue the vancomycin for at least a six week course. patient has an appointment with infectious disease clinic at on at which time they are decide on whether to discontinue antibiotics after six weeks or if longer course is necessary. patient's central line was removed. a picc line was placed for iv antibiotic administration. 2. rhabdomyolysis: creatine kinases reported in the 6,000s at the outside hospital, but had decreased to 2,286 upon transfer to after hydration. patient's cks trended down to within normal limits by the time of transfer to the medicine floor from the icu, and the patient denied muscular pain at that time. 3. acute renal failure: patient's acute renal failure resolved with hydration in the intensive care unit and bun and creatinine remained within normal limits the remainder of his hospital stay. an ace inhibitor was restarted on the medicine floor, and was tolerated well. patient also received nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs for costochondritis which he tolerated well without gi symptoms or changes in bun or creatinine. 4. neurology: the patient was observed to have a generalized tonic-clonic seizure on , but had no further episodes throughout his hospital stay. patient was noted to have short periods of aphasia and staring 2-3 days following the generalized seizure. patient has no history of seizures, however, and the etiology is likely toxic metabolic. patient is loaded with dilantin and then maintained on a stable dose. patient did not have any evidence of seizure activity throughout the remainder of his hospital stay. workup for the cause of his seizures were negative. mri of the head without contrast on showed no evidence of stroke, or mass, or mass effect. eeg on showed encephalopathy, but no evidence of seizure activity. lumbar puncture with pleural guidance by interventional radiology on revealed cerebrospinal fluid within normal limits. vitamin b12, folate, and rpr were within normal limits. hiv test was negative. thyroid stimulating hormone and free t4 levels were also within normal limits. a 24 hour bedside push button eeg was performed and was also within normal limits without changes during aphasic periods. neurology service was consulted and followed the patient throughout his hospital stay. per their recommendations, patient was continued on dilantin at a dose of 400 q.d. based on his albumin adjusted serum levels. patient is to followup in clinic on to consider discontinue dilantin if he remains stable. 5. mental status: patient initially confused and delirious after transfer from the intensive care unit to the floor. this is likely due to icu psychosis and exacerbated by high dose narcotics. patient's narcotics were titrated down as outlined below. patient's mental status improved dramatically, and by the time of discharge was very stable and lucid. psychiatry was consulted and agreed that the patient's delirium was likely related to his intubations, sedation, and icu stay, as well as exacerbated by high dosed narcotics. patient was started on celexa 20 q.d. per psych recommendations. patient had been on a ssri prior to admission as well. plan outpatient psychiatric followup. patient should continue on the lowest tolerated dose of narcotics to avoid mental status affects. 6. cardiovascular: patient with history of coronary artery disease and hypertension. patient's hypotension requiring use of pressors which resolved in the intensive care unit as described above, and he was slowly restarted on his antihypertensives for his hypertension. patient's blood pressures remained very well controlled on the medicine floor with metoprolol 100 b.i.d. which was changed to atenolol 100 q.d. and then with captopril 50 t.i.d. which was changed to lisinopril 20 q.d. patient was also continued on his aspirin, plavix, and lipitor. 7. pain: history of chronic back pain on methadone at home. patient also developed rib pain consistent with costochondritis on the medicine floor, which was due to his approximate 10 days of intubation. patient's costochondritis and rib pain improved entirely after two days of standing naprosyn 500 b.i.d. upon transfer from the icu to the floor, the patient was initially on fentanyl patch 250 for pain control. on , this was changed to methadone 30 t.i.d. and titrated up to 40 t.i.d. for chronic pain control. patient also received morphine 15 mg p.o. prn breakthrough pain. patient also restarted on his neurontin, which he was on as an outpatient with a starting dose of 200 b.i.d. for neuropathic pain. planned to titrate the patient's pain regimen as needed as an outpatient. 8. anemia: the patient received 3 units of red blood cells from and 27th for anemia. patient's hematocrit remained stable between 28 and 30 throughout the remainder of his hospital stay. vitamin b12 and folate were within normal limits. iron studies were most consistent with anemia of chronic disease. 9. fluids, electrolytes, and nutrition: patient was cleared by bedside swallow study to tolerate fluids and fluid by mouth on , and he tolerated his cardiac diet very well on the medicine floor. patient's potassium and magnesium were repleted as needed during his hospital stay. patient was also given artificial saliva as needed. 10.

brief hospital course: 83-year-old female with a history of high grade urothelial bladder cancer with invasion s/p resection , hypertension, gerd, anxiety, and depression referred in from oncology clinic due to elevated wbc, admitted for gram-negative rod bacteremia transferred to the icu after a pmvt arrest. . #vt arrest: the patient developed polymorphic vt associated with prolonged qt interval with arrest on the floor on . she was given cpr for two minutes and defibrillated with rosc. she was sedated,intubated and transferred to the icu. her magnesium was maintained at >2.5 and potassium >4.5. her qtc remained in 500s corrected. she had another episode of polymorphic vt in the icu with loss of pulse that returned after brief administration of chest compressions. in consultation with cardiology, she was started on a lidocaine drip, dopamine titrated to heart rate of ~80 and patient was intubated for airway protection. she was transferred to the ccu where a temporary pacing wire was placed. patient was ventricularly paced until a permanent dual chamber icd was placed in the ep lab after which time patient's blood pressures normalized and was extubated. the patient appeared to have a boarder line prolonged qtc on admission suggesting a possible channelopathy, her decline into vt arrest was likely to multiple hits to her qtc from medications, poor nutrition and urosepsis. patient remained in a paced rhythm with no further episodes of vt during her ccu course. patient was discharged with a small hematoma at the surgical site which did not show signs of acute bleeding and to follow up in device clinic in one week's time. . #urosepsis / gnr bacteremia: patient presented to the ed with fever, leukocytosis and tachypnea with urine culture growing >100,000 e.coli. patient was adequately fluid resuscitated and initially treated with cefepime as no history of esbl cultures per omr. sequent culture data grew a pan sensitive e coli and patient was switched to amoxicillin. as patient had a foreign body pace maker installed while having sirs physiology patient was discharged on a 2 week course of ampicillin to prevent colonization. . # acute renal failure: patient was noted to have an elevated creatinine on admission to 1.9 this was felt to be of pre-renal etiology given urine electrolytes in the setting of her vt arrest and hypotension. her ace inhibitors were held and patient was discharged to follow up with her pcp prior to resuming this medication. she was prescribed lab studies to be drawn on prior to her pcp appointment later in the week. . #bladder ca: followed by dr. (urology) and dr. (onc) and has been told that the tumor is invading the muscle and at her last visit they discussed two options one being total radical cystectomy with creation of anileal conduit versus chemo and radiation therapy. in discussion with the patient's oncologists her prognosis was expected to be in the excess of several years with medical management and light of this patient had a dual chamber pace maker installed. . #anemia: patient was noted to have a diminished hematocrit on admission and no evidence of gi bleed on history or exam. patient was noted to have substantial hematuria felt secondary to her invasive bladder cancer which likely accounted for her low crit. this was monitored and was stable while an inpatient requiring no transfusions or iron supplementation. . #dysphagia: per the patient's son she was felt to be chocking and coughing when taking solid foods and had a decreased appetite in the weeks prior to admission. once extubated patient was evaluated by speech and swallow with no evidence of aspiration and the patient was encouraged to eat and drink to her comfort. . #htn: as patient was hypotensive on admission her antihypertensives were initially held, but restarted, save lisinopril, prior to discharge. she was normotensive at the time of discharge. . transitional issues: -pt written for an outpatient cbc and lytes on to be faxed to patient's pcp as no longer concerned for qt prolongation given biventricular pacer. -held the patient's lisinopril on discharge given acute renal failure -patient discharged on a 14 day course of amoxicillin medications on admission: patient reports having stopped all meds because of dysphagia since her surgery discharge medications: 1. outpatient lab work please check cbc and chem-7 on with results to dr. or dr. at . 2. omeprazole 20 mg capsule, delayed release(e.c.) sig: two (2) capsule, delayed release(e.c.) po daily (daily). 3. cholecalciferol (vitamin d3) 400 unit tablet sig: two (2) tablet po daily (daily). 4. calcium carbonate 200 mg calcium (500 mg) tablet, chewable sig: one (1) tablet, chewable po tid (3 times a day). 5. multivitamin tablet sig: one (1) tablet po daily (daily). 6. amoxicillin 500 mg capsule sig: one (1) capsule po twice a day for 14 days. disp:*28 capsule(s)* refills:*0* discharge disposition: home with service facility: homecare discharge diagnosis: urosepsis ventricular tachycaridia s/p internal cardiac defibrillator implantation hypertension urethral bladder cancer discharge condition: mental status: clear and coherent. level of consciousness: alert and interactive. activity status: ambulatory -

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 year old female who was admitted to the emergency department after falling down three steps at her care facility. the patient denies any loss of consciousness, denies chest pain. she was alert and oriented at the scene. she was originally seen at outside hospital and transferred to for further care. the patient had a witnessed fall at her facility and is able to recall full event. she states that she missed a step as she was walking down and then fell the remainder of the four steps, landing on her left wrist. past medical history: 1. dementia. 2. hypertension. 3. atrial fibrillation past surgical history: unknown. the patient does have vertical scar inferior to the umbilicus suggestive of hysterectomy. social history: alcohol and tobacco use is unknown. the patient lives in care facility and has family nearby. her son is actively involved in her care. medications on admission: 1. aricept. 2. cardizem. 3. zyprexa. 4. lorazepam. 5. vitamin c. physical examination: the patient was alert and cooperative and able to answer questions, though mildly confused which apparently is her baseline due to dementia. her vital signs include a temperature of 99.0, heart rate 120 that was irregular, blood pressure 158/111, respiratory rate 19 and oxygen saturation 96 percent. her head was normocephalic and atraumatic. she was in a cervical spine collar. the pupils had full extraocular movements and were reactive to light bilaterally, 3.0 millimeters to 2.0 millimeters. she had clear lungs to auscultation bilaterally. she was tachycardic but no murmurs, rubs or gallops. her abdomen was soft, nontender, and nondistended. she was guaiac negative with good rectal tone. cervical spine, she had no deformities, no step-off or tenderness. her thoracolumbosacral spine/back had no deformities and no step-offs and no tenderness. she was tender to palpation of the left forearm. there was no gross deformity or breakage in skin. the remainder of her extremities were warm with palpable pulses. she had full range of motion times four. laboratory data: the patient had white blood cell count of 13.5, hematocrit 40.6, platelet count 197,000. her chem7 was unremarkable. her inr was 1.1. her urine toxicology screen was negative. she had an amylase of 39. radiology: the patient had an electrocardiogram which showed rapid atrial fibrillation. she had a negative fast examination. her chest x-ray showed a right upper lobe opacity versus infiltrate. her pelvic x-ray was negative. a ct of the cervical spine showed extensive degenerative joint disease but no fracture or subluxation. a ct of her head showed small left frontal contusion versus subarachnoid, right posterior temporal lobe subarachnoid bleed, and a small subdural hemorrhoid of the right frontal lobe. ct of the abdomen and pelvis is negative. thoracolumbosacral spine films showed a wedge fracture of the body of t7, unclear whether this was old versus new. x-ray of the left arm shows a distal radius fracture, minimally displaced and extra- articular. the patient had a ct of the thoracolumbosacral spine which showed the wedge fracture of t7 as well as postfusion of l3-4 and l4-5. hospital course: the patient underwent normal trauma protocol while in the emergency department. she was transferred to the intensive care unit for monitoring of her intracranial hemorrhage. neurosurgery was consulted. her systolic blood pressure was maintained below 150. she had good glycemic control. she had q1hour neurologic checks. she was given isotonic fluids. she had no focal neurological deficits throughout her stay. she was loaded with dilantin which was continued for six days. a repeat head ct showed no change in bleed. the patient came to the hospital with rapid atrial fibrillation and this was monitored while she was in the intensive care unit. she was loaded with amiodarone and controlled with diltiazem. she will be discharged on both of these medications. prior to discharge, she has been observed on telemetry on the floor for greater than 72 hours having a heart rate of 75 going in and out of atrial fibrillation. the patient was found to have a left distal radius fracture, minimally displaced and extra-articular in nature. she was seen by orthopedic hand specialist, dr. . there was no need for reduction or operation. she was given a hand splint which she is to wear until follow-up with the hand surgeon. the patient arrived in a cervical spine collar, however, because of her baseline dementia and worsening nature of her dementia versus delirium as documented below, her cervical spine was unable to be cleared clinically. further examination of the patient's compression fracture of t7 was recommended by the spine specialist, however, the patient was extremely agitated and unwilling to wear the cervical spine collar and needed to be in soft wrist restraints. clinical suspicion for acute injury was very low as the patient was lucid and at her baseline at the time of the accident and when she was initially examined. it was felt that the extraneous material that was restrictive in manner was contributing to the patient's quite profound delirium. given the fact that we could not clear her clinically, it was potential that the patient would have to wear the cervical spine collar long term. the risk of cervical spine injury was discussed at length with the patient's son who agreed to remove the cervical spine collar in the hopes of clearing her mental status. the son verbalized understanding of potential cervical spine risk. the patient has a baseline dementia which has been documented. she described as a pleasantly confused woman at baseline, however, she is usually oriented to herself and to place. she is functional in the care facility. during her hospital stay, she became acutely delirious, at times kicking and biting at staff. consultation from behavioral neurology was obtained with dr. and medication adjustments were made. he also proposed limiting the amounts of extraneous tubes or devices that the patient must wear as previously commented with regards to her cervical spine collar. originally the patient was to be fed with a nasogastric tube as her delirium was thought to be profound to protect her airway, however, she became extremely agitated with the nasogastric tube placed. this was discussed with the son who agreed to have the nasogastric tube pulled and the patient is able to take thickened liquids as suggested by her speech and swallow evaluation and to take her pills. the family understands that there is a small risk of aspiration but have chosen this course to stabilize the patient's delirium. at the time of discharge, the patient has been able to be on the floor for greater than 24 hours without a sitter. her delirium has greatly improved. it is thought that she is closer to her baseline. she is oriented to herself and was able to be reminded that she is in the hospital and can retain this information. she continues to remain somewhat sleepy during the daytime. it is suggested by behavioral neurology to not give any haldol doses after 10:00 p.m. unless it is required for patient or staff safety. following this recommendation has seemed to greatly improve the patient's sleep/wake cycle as well as her delirium. benzodiazepines are not recommended for this patient. trazodone each night is recommended to help her sleep with seroquel given two hours prior to the trazodone medication. discharge status: the patient will be discharged to an extended care facility in stable condition. she is alert and oriented to herself which is her baseline and sometimes aware of her surroundings. her heart rate has been stable in the 70s for greater than 72 hours. she is eating a nectar thick diet and is ambulatory with assistance. discharge diagnoses: 1. intracranial hemorrhage, subarachnoid hemorrhage of the left frontal lobe, subarachnoid hemorrhage of the right posterior temporal lobe and small subdural right frontal lobe. 2. atrial fibrillation with rapid ventricular response. 3. left distal radius fracture, minimally displaced and extra- articular in nature. 4. dementia. 5. intensive care unit delirium. 6. t7 compression fracture. follow up: 1. the patient is to follow-up in hand clinic with dr. , , in two to three weeks. 2. neurosurgery - the patient is to follow-up with dr. at , in four weeks. she will need a head ct prior to this appointment and can call the above number to arrange this. 3. the patient is to follow-up with dr. at , to evaluate her midthoracic compression fracture. she should follow-up with him in three to four weeks. 4. behavioral clinic - dr. and dr. , , in three to four weeks. 5. there is no scheduled appointment with trauma clinic, however, should the patient have any questions or concerns, she can call , for an appointment. medications on discharge: 1. albuterol nebulizer two puffs q6hours p.r.n. 2. heparin 5000 units q12hours subcutaneously. 3. diltiazem 60 mg p.o. four times a day. 4. donepezil 10 mg one tablet p.o. q.h.s. 5. zyprexa 2.5 mg one tablet p.o. once daily. 6.

frontal/bilateral orbital headaches over the past 3 weeks. he reports that he usually doesn't get headaches, so this is unusual. he denies photophobia/phonophobia, nausea, weakness/numbness, diplopia. the headaches can be worse when he is laying down flat, and improve when he sits up. he has not noticed if the headache changes in character with valsalva maneuver. he was recently started on hctz for blood pressure control, which was discontinued; however he continues to have headaches. he had a head ct on given his headaches, which showed "nothing acute." on the morning of admission, he had

been vasovagal syncope in the setting of vomiting. he was admitted to the micu for further work up, given his somnolence after heavy sedation. in the micu, he had an mri/mra/mrv performed which was normal. ophthalmology was consulted, and determined he had no papilledema or disc swelling. his inr was reversed for an lp with vitamin k, which showed wbc, rbc, 54 protein, 57 glucose. gram stain, cytology and fluid culture were negative. hsv pcr and viral culture were negative. a routine eeg was normal. the patient does not remember what happened at . on the floor, blood pressure medications were titrated up with resolution of his headaches. he was continued on a heparin drip and restarted on coumadin. he was noted to have persistent gross blood in his urine in the setting of a foley catheter placement and heparing drip. a ct abdomen and pelvis with contrast showed a small non-obstructing left renal calculus, an ulcerated plaque in the distal descending thoracic aorta and an enhancing prostatic lesion. psa level was noted to be elevated at 14. the heparin drip was discontinued when his inr reached >2.0. of note, his hematocrit remained stable. creatinine was normal on admission, but increased to 1.6 during the hospital stay. etiology of the acute renal failure is likely mutlifactorial including contrast nephropathy from ct scan, prerenal from poor po intake, and a false elevation in creatinine from use of bactrim. . patient was transferred to the medicine service for further management of these new findings in the setting of anticoagulation for a recent pulmonary embolus and acute renal failure. acei were discontinued. patient was started on ivf and monitored overnight without events. creatinine had decreased to 1.3 on day discharge. patient is 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: allergies: patient recorded as having no known allergies to drugs attending: chief complaint: hypotension major surgical or invasive procedure: cardioversion history of present illness: m s/p fall 3 weeks ago, being transferred from hopsital with hypotension. hx from son. pt fell about 3 weeks ago, and presumably sustained a subarachnoid hemorrhage. admitted to sicu in , with questionable seizure and required intubation for 2 days. one week stay at . his mental status began to decline during that hospitalization, with increasing confusion. with transfer to the floor pt was noted to have further decline in his mental status, with an inability to converse well. he remained on the floor for about 2 weeks, with his course c/b agitation and mrsa infection of unclear etiology. a feeding tube was placed and pt was sent to rehab on the morning of transfer, where he was found to have what was thought to be - respirations. son described this as breathing irregularly, hard and fast for about 40 seconds, and then normal breathing. his mental status continued to decline. he was sent to hospital, where a head ct was performed, and he was intubated. pt was then transferred here on peripheral dopamine, levophed, and propofol for hypotension. . in the ed, vs were 85/41 (on levophed and dopamine), hr in 140s in a fib. neurosurgery evaluated pt, and felt that the changes on head ct were mainly old - scattered foci of sah, with possibly 2 newer subarachnoid hemorrhages, but no intervention indicated. also with older frontal stroke. pt was noted to be

hemorrhage in the left posterior frontal, left occipital, right occipital, right temporal are less prominent than the previous exam. area of hypodensity in the left frontal lobe is again noted. the area of concern representing possible hemorrhage is less obvious on today's study. there is very mild shift of the left cingulate gyrus, unchanged. minimal subdural fluid surrounding the right temporal, frontal, and parieto-occipital lobes is similar to the previous exam. no hydrocephalus, or acute major vascular territorial infarct is identified. frontal, maxillary, ethmoid air cells, sphenoid sinuses, are clear. mastoid air cells show scattered opacification. soft tissue densities in both external auditory canals again identified. impression: interval improvement in multiple foci of extra-axial hemorrhage. no new hemorrhagic focus. area of hypodensity in the left frontal lobe, not significantly changed. . eeg this is an abnormal eeg due to the left centroparietal sharp waves which occasionally generalized and due to the slow and disorganized background. the first abnormality suggests a left centroparietal region of cortical hypersynchrony. the slow and disorganized background suggests a mild to moderate encephalopathy, which may be seen with infections, toxic metabolic abnormalities or medication effect. . tte impression: symmetric left ventricular hypertrophy

patient's hypotension was initially ascribed to sepsis and atrial fibrillation with rapid ventricular response. the patient was intially treated with vancomycin and zosyn for broad coverage and the electrophysiology service was consulted regarding the afib with rvr. the patient was cardioverted with one 360 joule shock on . this resluted in normalization of the patient's heart rate and improvement in the patient's blood pressure. of note the patient's pacemaker was interrogated and revealed that he had been in afib since placement of the pacemaker ~6months ago. the patient's antibiotics were discontinued on as it was felt that his hypotension was largely caused by heart failure in the setting of the afib with rvr. that said, a sputum culture from revealed moderate growth

Medical Report: allergies: neurontin / wellbutrin attending: chief complaint: pain with eating major surgical or invasive procedure: s/p l thoracotomy, loa, and repair of diaphragmatic hernia on . (paraesophageal diaphragmatic hernia found incidentally on cxr, elective surgery scheduled). history of present illness: 42-year-old gentleman with a complicated upper gastrointestinal history. he presented over 10 years ago with nutcracker esophagus and underwent a esophageal myotomy with fundoplication. this was complicated by severe erosive esophagitis and eventually an undilatable stricture requiring transhiatal esophagectomy. this was subsequently complicated by severe and unrelenting bile reflux and was treated with biliary diversion and a roux- en-y gastrojejunostomy. approximately 10 months ago, he underwent a procedure to revise the gastrojejunostomy which was stenotic. he has continued to have inability to aliment himself orally with a postprandial severe pain. radiographic and endoscopic examinations revealed an incarcerated portion of bowel in the chest to the level the main pulmonary artery. there appears to be a bezoar in the small bowel component of this and i am concerned that this is an incarcerated hernia involving part of the colon but also part of the roux-en-y limb. i recommended reduction of this hernia and the possible need to revise again the gastrojejunostomy. this was planned as a joint procedure between myself, dr. . the patient agreed to the treatment plan. past medical history: s/p ex-lap with lysis of adhesions, gastrojejunostomy and

there are washing jets at either end of the mitral valve with no evidence of regurgitation. the aortic valve, which was not replaced, continues to be stenotic, but aortic valve area is now 0.9 cm2 (at a cardiac output of 4.5 l/min, which is increased from the prebypass cardiac output of 2.0-2.5 l/min). at a cardiac output of 5.6 l/min, the aortic valve area is 1.1 cm2. the valve area is 1.23 cm2 by planimetry. peak gradient is 26 mmhg and mean gradient is 14 mmhg. tricuspid regurgitation continues to be moderate-to-severe (3+). aortic contours are normal. dr. was informed of the results at the time of the study. i certify that i was present for this procedure in compliance with hcfa regulations. interpretation assigned to , md, interpreting physician radiology report carotid series complete study date of 2:45 pm medical condition: 65 yo woman with mitral stenosis, pulm htn. reason for this examination: pre-op for mitral valve replacement bilateral carotid ultrasound: grayscale and color ultrasonography was performed of the right and left cca, ica, eca, and vertebral arteries. grayscale imaging demonstrates heterogeneous plaque within the proximal right ica and to a lesser degree in the left ica. antegrade flow is seen within the vertebral arteries bilaterally. the following velocity measurements were obtained: right: proximal ica 40/21 cm/sec, mid ica 41/16 cm/sec, distal ica 55/28 cm/sec, cca 60/16 cm/sec, eca 67 cm/sec, and vertebral artery 33 cm/sec. right ica/cca ratio is 0.9. left: proximal ica 55/15 cm/sec, mid ica 44/17 cm/sec, distal ica 30/14 cm/sec, cca 55/20 cm/sec, eca 62 cm/sec, and vertebral artery 33 cm/sec. left ica/cca ratio is 1.0. impression: findings are consistent with less than 40% stenosis bilaterally. dr. brief hospital course: transferred from for w/u and management of congestive heart failure and new onset atrial fibrillation. echo at that time revealed moderate to severe mitral regurgitation, moderate to severe tricuspid regurgitation, mild aortic insufficiency, and at least moderate pulmonary hypertension. cardiac surgery was consulted for possible mitral valve replacement. after usual cardiac surgery w/u patient was brought to the operating room on . please see operative report for details. in summary she had: coronary artery bypass grafting times one with a saphenous vein graft to the posterior descending artery. left-sided maze procedure with left atrial appendage resection. mitral valve replacement with a 31-mm st. mechanical valve, reference number . her bypass time was 110 minutes with a crossclamp of 97 minutes. she tolerated the operation well and post-operatively was transferred to the cardiac surgey icu in stable condition. she remained hemodynamically stable in the immediate post-op period, awoke neurologically intact and was extubated. all tubes lines and drains were removed per cardiac surgery protocols. she was ready for transfer from the icu to the stepdown floor on pod1 however there were no beds available and her actual transfer did not occur until pod3. she worked with physical therapy to increase her activity level. she was started on coumadin for her mechanical valve and dose was titrated to acheive target inr of 2.5-3.5. the remainder of her hospital course was uneventful. on pod# 4 she was cleared by dr. for discharge to rehabilitation with anticipated length of stay less than 30 days. all follow up appointments were advised. medications on admission: lisiopril 20 mg daily simvastatin 80 mg daily aspirin 325 mg daily ns 3 ml flush carvedilol 6.25 amiodarone

dyspnea: she presented with several weeks of progressive dyspnea and developed a significant oxygen requirement shortly after arrival to the floor requiring icu transfer. her dyspnea is mulitfactorial including advanced nsclc, new diagnosis of pe in the right upper, middle, and lower lobes, pneumonia, and volume overload. she was treated with lovenox, antibiotics, and diuresis in the icu with some improvement in her respiratory status. on floor transfer, she was on 6l nc with spo2 in the low 90s, but desatting to the 80s with activity. she triggered for persistent spo2<90% on facemask, and was diuresed overnight. her respiratory status was more stable the next day. she was provided supplemental oxygen as needed and albuterol and ipratropium nebulizer treatments. the multiple conditions contributing to her dyspnea were managed as discussed below. . # pulmonary embolism: this was a new diagnosis found on admission cta with emboli to right upper, middle, and lower lobes. most likely related to underlying malignancy. she was treated with enoxaparin sodium 60 mg sc q12h. . # pneumonia: she was started on azithromycin prior to admission by her oncologist due to concern for cap after presenting with cough and dyspnea. admission cta on showed new (from ) ground glass and interstitial opacities throughout the rll and inferior rul concerning for atypical pneumonia. she was started on levofloxacin on admission and broadened to vancomycin and cefepime on for a worsening cxr. azithromycin was continued, completing a 5 day course. blood cultures from showed no growth. she was not febrile during her stay. her cough improved after admission, but returned on . portable cxr on showed a stable right sided infiltrate but increased left pulmonary edema. her wbc count has steadily after floor transfer from 8.9 on to 16.6 on with neutrophil predominance on differential. her vancomycin trough on was 25.6, her am dose was held, and her dose was adjusted. . # volume overload: cardiomegaly and evidence of pulmonary edema was noted on recent cxrs. tte on showed lvef 55-60% without other significant abnormalities. her left sided pulmonary edema may be due to elevated right heart pressures in the setting of her right sided pes. pulmonary edema is likely contributing to her dyspnea. she was diuresed in the icu using furosemide 20 mg iv doses with a daily fluid balance goal of negative 1000 ml. some radiographic improvement was noted on icu imaging, but recent cxr showed increased left sided pulmonary edema. diuresis has continued on the floor with fair response, but her creatinine increased to 1.2 on am from baseline 0.9 yesterday. it increased further to 1.4 on pm labs despite no further diuresis that morning. . # anxiety: moderate anxiety at baseline treated with citalopram, exacerbated by recent illness. likely contributing somewhat to her tachypnea and respiratory distress. she was continued on her home citalopram 20 mg po daily. . #

patient presented with bradycardia consistent with 2nd degree av block. his heart rates were in the 30's-40's at this time. he received a single-lead pacemaker. he had difficult access for the pacemaker, and required multiple sticks on the right side. he ended up having it placed via axillary access on the right side, with some bleeding during the procedure. his pacemaker was in the correct place via follow-up cxr and an interrogation the morning after the procedure showed a normally functioning pacemaker. he had one episode of chest pain after an attempt at pacemaker insertion that was associated with no ecg changes and no elevation in cardiac enzymes. this pain was not thought to be cardiac-related. # hypertension - patient with persistent hypertension while in the ccu. his bp was highest post-dialysis, as he does not take his medications the morning before dialysis. we increased his dose of clonidine 0.2mg po daily to 0.2mg po bid. we continued his lisinopril, diovan, amlodipine, and hctz. his bp stabilized by the time of discharge on these medications, although he would likely benefit from outpatient bp monitoring. # cad - patient with history of coronary artery disease (last cath showed 50% lesion of ramus intermedius)who presented with asymptomatic bradycardia. it was felt that his bradycardia was unlikely to be related to current ischemia, and patient's ecg was not suggestive of ischemia or infarct. he was continued on aspirin 81mg po daily and he was started on simvastatin 40mg po daily. # pump - last echo in showed mildly depressed systolic function, with lvef = 55% and inferior/inferolateral hypokinesis. it was felt that his pump would benefit most from optimal blood pressure control. # chronic kidney disease stage v on hd -

unaccompanied and presently non-verbal so most of history from medical record. . per osh records, ems arrived at pt's apt a few minutes after a generalized convulsion per visiting nurse who was present. visiting rn also reported pt had 6 focal seizures in ~35 minutes. pt had at least 1 more generalized seizure at osh and multiple focal right face seizures, and received ativan 1mg x2 and used the vns magnet as well. she was initially unresponsive on arrival to osh, and developed increased alertness while there but she was using her right arm only minimally and was non- verbal, which is atypical for her. labs and head ct were unremarkable (see below) except for aed levels that were low- normal. she was transferred for further management. . pt is unable to tell me how many focal or

likely represents so- called "transient intussusception." there is no evidence of proximal dilatation or obstruction of small bowel. ---- ct head :there is opacification of multiple paranasal sinuses, likely related to the patient's intubation. again seen is a left frontoparietal craniotomy defect. chronic changes of brain injury are seen in the left hemisphere including encephalomalacia and ex vacuo ventricular dilitation, with an associated slight shift of normally midline structures to the left, unchanged since the prior study. the fluid in the extra- axial space under the craniotomy flap that was present on the prior exam has resolved. no areas of intra- or extra- axial acute hemorrhage are identified. there are no findings to suggest major vascular territorial infarction. there are post- surgical changes in the area of the craniotomy, the remaining soft tissue structures including the orbits appear unremarkable. ---- lenis :nonocclusive thrombus within the left common femoral, greater saphenous, and mid superficial femoral veins. ---- head ct :: limited study, due to severe image degradation from beam- hardening and streak artifacts, as detailed above. no displacement of the normally midline structures, or change in the configuration of the ventricular system since the prior head ct. repeat head ct, without metallic devices, would obviously be a more sensitive means to assess the brain parenchyma. ---- cta :impression: 1. bilateral central pulmonary embolism involving bilateral main pulmonary arteries, as well as bilateral upper and lower lobe branches. 2. associated mosaic perfusion of bilateral lungs. 3. improving atelectasis. ---- torso ct :impression: 1. marked increase in airspace consolidation within the right and left lungs as described above. 2. small bilateral pleural effusions. 3. no evidence of hematoma within the chest, abdomen, or pelvis. . us ruq: normal right upper quadrant ultrasound. no son evidence of acalculous cholecystitis. brief hospital course: 1.neuro: she was initially admitted to the neuro-stepdown unit to monitor given her frequent focal motor facial seizures. these initially improved with a phenobarbital load and she appeared to be improving. her phenobarbital level was good at 42 after her load. she was continued on her home aeds. unfortunately, she then began to have an increase in her facial seizures(6-8/hr) without complete recovery in between. she was unable to talk in between seizures and then started to desat into the 80s despite 5lnc oxygen. for this reason, she was intubated, transferred to the icu and put on a pentobarb drip. this achieved burst supression. she was continued in this state for several days, continued on her home aeds as well as the pentobarbital. she had adequate drug levels quickly. the only change was that her carbamazepine was switched to oral solution so it could be given through her ngt. this made her levels more unstable so she required frequent redosing of extra tegretol to keep her levels up. initial reasons for her increase in seizure frequency are unknown and we are not clear as to why she had these events. it is possible that she missed some medication doses, but she initially denied this and we can not be sure. no evidence of infection was discovered on initial survey. this included cxr, urine and blood cultures, and an lp. the lp showed 6 wbcs(lymphocyte=85%)(which is consistent with a post-status csf), pro=22, glu=98she did develop a pneumonia after several days here, but this is thought to have occured as a result of hre seizures and possible aspiration and is not likely the cause of her seizing. after several days, her pentobarbital drip was attempted to be weaned but this was unsuccessful as she had a reappearance of frequent spikes that bordered on seizure activity. this was attempted several more times after medication changes were made and each time the attempts were unsuccessful. the changes included increasing her carbamazepine which became problem due to poor absorption. this was then stopped. she was switched to iv phenobarbital. her ativan was increased without much effect, and then she had dilantin added to her regimen. she was continued on her pentobarb drip with several unsuccessful weans as above. she was on continuous bedside eeg monitoring throughout. from , pentobarb weaned from 3.5 to 2.5 over 2 days, with more high amplitude, disorganized eeg activity- sharps present ( bursts in 10 sec interval), left dominant. there was no ongoing sz activity. however, on overnight, she had more generalized spikes ( sec apart), necessitating another increase in the pentobarb drip. with higher requirement for pentobarb, she was thought to have barbiturate resistance. by she was weaned off pentobarb and started on an ativan drip, which was increased to 3mg/hr. eeg initially showed spikes, but later showed disorganized activity. ativan drip was successfully weaned to about 0.5-1mg/hr, but the patient began to have increasing spikes and electrographic seizure activity on bedside eeg, including one event during which she again developed clinical status epilepticus with facial twitching lasting 35 minutes, correlating with seizure on eeg; she was rebolused with ativan and received dilantin for a concurrently low level. later on, with adequate dilantin dosing and ativan drip at about 2mg/hr, she had some witnessed seizure activity with eyebrow twitches and blinking correlated with right frontal spikes that looked almost artifactual. it was unclear if this was seizure, as the eeg was atypical. however, as her ativan drip could not be further weaned (and despite the risks associated with depakote and lamictal together), her lamictal dose was halved (after a level had been sent) and depakote was added and titrated up slowly to prevent complications of sjs. . on , critical illness polyneuropathy was demonstrated by emg. she was at the time areflexic throughout with no spontaneous movement. by , she had trace reflexes in the right knee and left biceps. later followed by trace in r brachioradial. . over the month of , progressively increased vpa, decreased dilantin, increased lamictal (level on was 1.8). ativan drip was eventually transitioned to oral ativan. this was slowly decreased to her usual outpatient dose, 1mg po q8hours. eeg with less spikes, but persistent left frontocentral slowing. . at the time of discharge, we suspect that she is occasionally having brief focal motor seizures, which is usual for her at baseline and were undetected by eeg. she appears to be more awake at times and is able to follow simple commands such as sticking out her tongue. she is not able to move her extremities, but responds to noxious stimuli in her ue with grimace (no response in le). she is able to track in the horizontal plane if she is awake and cooperative, with a clear nystagmus. her anticonvulsant regimen at the time of discharge includes: -gabapentine 1600 tid po -lamotrigine 200 and 250hs po -ativan 1mg q 8hrs po -dilantin 300mg po/mg tid (goal level, corrected for albumin, around 15 ); uncorrected level : 10.6; on 12.8 -vpa 1750 qid po/ng; level 64 on (goal 40-60); on level was 8; extra iv dose given; please monitor this level very closely, i.e. daily, and contact dr. if the level does remain under the goal range. -pb 150 po/ng: 56.8, on 54.3. goal is to have it drop to levels of 30-40 (the dose was decreased last week, but due to the long half life it will take some time for the levels to drop). her dilantin, phenobarbital and depakote levels were all in the therapeutic range. sertraline was started to treat her for depression as she would often start crying while being examined. . 2.pulmonary: she was ventilated and did well with this until she developed difficulty on . a pu.monary embolus was suspected so she had a chest cta which showed bilateral pes in all main pulmonary arteries. this was very concerning. she also required an increase in her pressors at this time as she was becoming more hypotensive. she was started on heparin initially, then the decision was made to procede with thrombolysis. she received iv tpa to lyse her clots and did well with this. she improved fairly quickly after this intervention. lenis at that time showed further le clot in the right leg. she also had an esophageal balloon placed to help guide ventilator management in this setting. she had a hematocrit drop after the tpa but no source was found on torso ct. she had no intracranial bleeding either. the hematocrit stabilized and at that time heparin was restarted. she then had an ivc filter placed. before her pes, she had spiked a fever and had thick mucous nasal discharge. a bronchoscopy showed apparent pna as did her chest ct. this was treated with vancomycin, then switched to oxacillin when it returned as mssa. she continued to spike frequently, but no other infectious source was found. eventually, she defervesed and this may have all been due to an undertreated pna. she spiked another fever when she had her multiple pes but this was attributed to the clots. she continued to have thick, dark secretions, but repeat bronchoscopy was always unrevealing. she was treated with two courses of levaquin+flagyl+vancomycin. . 3.heme: she had a stable hematocrit during her stay, but did have a drop in her level after getting thrombolysis. a torso ct and physical exam showed no obvious source of bleeding. her hematocrit then stabilized and remained so for the rest of her stay. . 4.cv: she required pressors to maintain an adequate bp for much of her stay. this was thought to be due to the fact that she was on pentobarbital and that she had a severe infection. the only positive blood culture was coag neg staph and likely a contaminant. when she developed her pes, her pressor requirement increased greatly. this was probably directly related to the clots. after lysis, we were able to wean her back down. she still required this while on the pentobarbital drip, even when her infection was totally treated. she had a tee after her thrombolysis which showed mild pulm htn, but no valvular lesions or chamber pathology. her heart rate remained in the high 90s-100s (thought related to infection) but her blood pressure was stable for the remainder of her hospital stay between late and . 4.id: she initially spiked very high daily fevers. the only source of infection was her multifocal pna which was speciated as mssa. this was treated with vancomycin, but this was not effective, so she was switched to oxacillin(first had to be desensitized as she has pcn allergy). this was more effective and her pna had cleared by the time her pe developed(had a repeat ct at that time). she did still have fever, but it was attributed to her clots. she never had positive urine or true positive blood cultures. she continued to have fevers thought related to pneumonias. she was treated with two courses of levaquin + flagyl + vancomycin, though later on, pneumonia was though to be adequately treated. she continued to have fevers, and no origin was found through , with brief periods of defervescence. her line was empirically resited; gynecology was consulted for ? or vaginal infection that could be causing temperature spikes; they felt this was unlikely and recommended discontinuing antifungal agents that had been used to treat a yeast infection early on. fever was thought to be potentially related to either dilantin or vancomycin (though even off vanco, she had spiked); however, due to her risk of recurrent status, discontinuing dilantin was not felt to be indicated. in mid-, she developed a uti due to klebsiella which was resistant to all antibiotics except carbapenems. she was successfully treated with a seven day course of meropenem with effect. this course was repeated , again with good effect. . 5.renal: her renal function was stable throughout her admission. she had good urine output. . 6.gi: she received tube feeds during her stay in the icu and tolerated these well. initially per ngt, later per peg tube. as she had complained to her parents of abdominal pain in the days prior to the hospitalization, a ct was performed early on () that showed "transient intussuception;" however, a follow-up ct performed was negative. in , she had a ruq u/s to r/o cholecystitis as source of fever, which was a negative study. medications on admission: lamictal 200/200/400, tegretol xr , neurontin 1600 tid, mysoline , ativan 1 tid, folate 4, b12 1000, mvi, colace

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: technique: non-contrast images are obtained through the abdomen. post- contrast images were obtained in a portal venous and regular venous phase after the administration of 150 cc optiray non-ionic iv contrast. optiray was used given patient's history of allergies. ct abdomen before and after iv contrast: there is a small hiatal hernia. blebs are seen anteriorly in the right lung. there is a small left pleural effusion with a loculated non-enhancing component. multiple areas of non-enhancing hypoattenuation ( around 10) are seen in varying sizes scattered throughout the liver. given their lack of enhancement these are cysts. bilateral enhancing adrenal masses are present. the one on the left measures 26 x 29 mm. on the right the measurement is roughly 27 x 16 mm. there is a large region of non-enhancement within the left kidney with strands of enhancing parenchyma running through it. the right kidney is normal. there are multiple mesenteric, retroperitoneal, and retrocrural lymph nodes. the largest retroperitoneal node measures 21 x 12 mm. the retroperitoneal and retrocrural nodes are small but worrisome given the number of nodes. no free air or free fluid is seen within the abdomen. the pancreas, spleen and gallbladder are normal. the portal vein, splenic vein, sma, and aorta are patent. there is atherosclerotic disease seen within the lumen of the aorta. ct pelvis after iv contrast: contrast is seen through to the rectum. the large and small bowel are adequately opacified and show no areas of wall thickening or focal luminal dilatation. the ureters and urinary bladder are grossly normal. extensive iliac vascular calcifications are noted. filling defects are seen within both common femoral veins, right greater than left. these defects are only seen on several cuts but do not have a typical appearance of mixing abnormalities. this is suggestive of bilateral deep venous thrombosis. there are several non-enlarged inguinal lymph nodes with fatty cores. bone windows show no suspicious lytic or blastic lesions.

Medical Report: allergies: motrin attending: chief complaint: fall/syncope. major surgical or invasive procedure: eeg x2 icu monitoring history of present illness: 69 yo woman with h/o chf, afib, ?seizure disorder, recently discharged from rehab after recent hospitalization for evaluation of seizure (felt ultimately to be facial tick), was in usoh until lunch on morning of admission, when upon rising from a chair, she felt lightheaded/dizzy and slid to the ground. her daughter was with her and helped her. no loc, post-ictal confusion, incontinence reportedly at the time. after being helped back into her chair by her daughter, her symptoms resolved over 5-10 minutes. her daughter describes a second fall in the evening, when upon standing to leave, she was again lh/dizzy, and fell into her daughter who was getting her walker. ros notable for poor po intake x1-2d. she otherwise denies f, c, ns, ha, cp, sob, palpitation, n/v, abdominal pain, dysuria, constipation, diarrhea. she has been living with one of her daughters since d/c from rehab a week ago and was doing well initially but not eating much recently. also she has been supervised some of the time but not all of the time at home. up until about she was living independently at home, but had a fall there and since then has been in the hospital (st vincents or mass ) or rehab or with her daughter. past medical history:

stopping phenytoin on admission being transferred out of the micu to the floor for continued observation given. . #. seizure disorder: pt had witnessed seizure on the floor in the setting of subtherapeutic phenytoin levels and being treated for uti with ciprofloxacin. the patient has had trouble with phenytoin clearance, and was discontinued due to supratherapeutic levels on admission. the patient's keppra was continued however. neurology was consulted and recommended a phenytoin load and starting phenytoin tid following. nchct w/o acute abnormality for cause of seizure. the patient was also started on zonisamide. however, the patient developed a fixed delusion and hallucinations thought to be secondary to this medication. zonisamide was discontinued and she was changed back to phenytoin with close monitoring of her levels. ciprofloxacin was changed to bactrim, see below. she had 24 hour eeg monitoring once she was transferred to the floor without signs of overt seizure. on the regimen of keppra and phenytoin, the patient did not have any subsequent seizures. the patient does have right sided arm choreathetoid movements consistent with the distribution of her previous stroke. it seems according to neurology that this movement is exacerbated when she is agitated, and that she is able to suppress it when she is not agitated. the patient will follow up with dr. as an outpatient. she will have phenytoin levels drawn at the rehab facility and her level changed accordingly. . #. uti: asymptomatic, however ua showed evidence of uti and urine cultures grew both klebsiella and enterococcus. the patient was initially treated with cipro, then changed to bactrim given seizure. when the enterococcus was isolated, amoxicillin was added to the regimen. the patient completed her course of antibiotics while inpatient. repeat urine cultures did not show evidence of persistent infection. . # hallucinations/delusions: thought to be secondary to medication effect from zonisamide. this medication was discontinued. the patient also had an element of delirium on transfer from the micu. all sedating medications including oxycodone, oxycontin, trazodone, bethanechol were discontinued. her delirium resolved, however the fixed delusion remained. the patient was treated with zyprexa prn and standing at night. the patient should continue on zyprexa 5mg at night for the next 4 days to assist with clearing her delusions, then as needed following. . #. normocytic anemia: baseline hct ~35. was 35 on admission, trended down to ~25 in setting of ivf hydration, but then stabilized. the patient was continued on her home iron supplements. . #. urinary retention: discontinued bethanechol given delirium as above. attempted to do voiding trials, however unsucessful. the patient was transferred with a foley catheter in place. she may need to follow up with urology as an outpatient. . #. cad: s/p cabg, unknown anatomy. the patient was continued on asa, metoprolol and statin. . #. paroxysmal atrial fibrillation: the patient remained in nsr during hospitalization. the patient was continued on metoprolol for rate control. started coumadin 2mg

poor rectal tone. genitals: rectal area with a rash. laboratory: white count 7.7 with 14% bands, hematocrit 30.7, her baseline is 35 to 36, platelets 221, mcv 96. her electrolytes were sodium 153, potassium 4.7, chloride 123, bicarbonate 16. bun 99, creatinine 2.9, glucose 614. calculated serum osmolarity 367, serum osmolarity 362. her lactate was 5.1. calcium 6.5, corrected 7.9, magnesium 2.3,

than 50 white blood cells, many bacteria, 0 to 2 epi's. her head ct showed no bleed or acute stroke. chest x-ray showed right subclavian line was in place. endotracheal tube was 7 cm above the carinii, question of an infiltrate on the right. blood cultures were taken. hospital course: 1. sepsis. likely secondary to an urinary tract infection. she is also found to have gastric content in her airway, presumed aspiration pneumonia. she also had a left shift and was febrile in the emergency room. she was started on ceftriaxone and vancomycin since she is from a nursing home based on the sepsis protocol. she was on ceftriaxone from to and vancomycin to . flagyl for the aspiration pneumonia from to and ciprofloxacin was started on for persistent urinary tract infection based on her urinalysis. additionally she was also started on intravenous fluconazole for yeast in her urine and sputum. the fluconazole was started on . per the sepsis protocol a court stem test was done and she was a nonresponder, thus she was given intravenous stress steroids from to . she was originally placed on levophed for blood pressure support however, this medication was weaned off the day after admission on . her hypothermia resolved as well the day of admission. culture data: her blood cultures from showed no growth. she had several urine cultures that were positive for yeast, she had her foley changed and urine culture after foley change was again positive for yeast and thus is this why fluconazole was started. additionally she has several sputum cultures that showed rare growth of yeast. 2. respiratory failure. was thought to be multifactorial, combination of hypoventilation and while she was on a morphine drip at the nursing home her mental status changes. she had hypoxia with a large a gradient and aspiration. mechanical ventilation was used until until she was extubated after approximately three days of diuresis. she was evaluated by physical therapy for chest physical therapy to the left lung base. she did well post extubation. 3. acute renal failure. her creatinine was 2.9 upon admission, her baseline was approximately 1.5. this acute renal failure resolved after intravenous hydration. she had a renal ultrasound that showed no hydronephrosis. she had a ct scan during her hospitalization course and mucomyst was given prior to the ct scan to protect her kidneys. 4. her hyperglycemia. hyperosmolar, nonketonic coma was likely secondary to her urinary tract infection. she was originally placed on an insulin drip, was given intravenous fluids but has now since been weaned off to regular insulin sliding scale. this issue is now resolved. 5. mental status change. likely secondary to the morphine and hypernatremia. she was not given morphine. her head ct showed no bleed, no acute stroke. she was ruled out for myocardial infarction and she is now responding to verbal commands in her native language. 6. hypernatremia. her sodium upon admission was 159, corrected for hyperglycemia, this is now resolved likely secondary to no access to fluids at the nursing home. her free water deficit was calculated along with her volume deficit. she was given d5 with 2 amps of bicarbonate as well as several free water boluses. her sodium returns to normal after several days. 7. anemia/gi bleed. her hematocrit upon admission was 30 and her baseline of 35 with an mcv of 96. she is guaiac positive upon admission as well as gastric occult blood positive. she actually had an nasogastric lavage upon admission to the intensive care unit which cleared after 350 cc's of normal saline. gastrointestinal was consulted and on she underwent an esophagogastroduodenoscopy. there was no acute bleed. she was found to have oral thrush and was started on nystatin swish and swallow. she was changed to lansoprazole q day and she will likely need a colonoscopy as an outpatient. her b12 and folate levels were normal. her stools continued to be guaiac positive and her hematocrit monitored. she has been stable at a hematocrit of 30. 8. transaminitis. not suspicious for obstruction, likely secondary to sepsis. no pancreatitis. on she was found to have a tympanic belly with some mild distension and thus she underwent stt of the abdomen which was essentially unremarkable. 9. leukocytosis and bandemia. her white count rose to 20 with 18% bands and thus ct of the abdomen and pelvis was obtained to also rule out peri-nephric abscesses which there were none. her urinalysis was still showing signs of infection however as mentioned there was no abscess, diverticulosis or diverticulitis on her ct. her foley was changed and culture data was followed. her white count did trend down after adding ciprofloxacin for greater coverage for her urinary tract infection. he should complete a 10 day course of ciprofloxacin. currently this is and it is day seven of 10. 10. coagulopathy. high inr and ptt but normal platelets. this could be possibly secondary to nutritional deficits. she was recently on antibiotics for pneumonia and had reported diarrhea from the nursing home. her dic labs were drawn. she had a normal fibrin blood product, very high d. dimers. on she was noted to have an enlarged left upper extremity and thus an ultrasound was performed which is negative for deep vein thrombosis however, was a difficult study as several veins were not visualized. 11. hypocalcemia. we originally held off on repleting calcium given her high phosphate however, once her phosphate became normalized we did replace her calcium. 12. hypokalemia. we had replaced her potassium as needed based on q day lyte checks. 13. acid base status. her arterial blood gases upon admission was 7.09, 49 and 244. the primary respiratory acidosis secondary to hypoventilation was metabolic acidosis, both anion gap, lactic acidosis and non-anion gap diarrhea. her vent settings were changed in order to improve her ph and these values essentially. her arterial blood gases improved and her respiratory status improved such that we were able to extubate her on . 14. nutrition. she was maintained on tube feeds while intubated. tube feeds were held the night prior to extubation. she is now currently taking food and nutrition was consulted and recommended boost pudding three times a day. she is having difficult with p.o. intake. this apparently was a problem we learned later on at the nursing home as well. we should consider possibly starting megace or remeron to increase her appetite. the family may feel aggressive enough to place a percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy tube for nutrition. currently her son is bringing in food from home and she is sitting upright eating the food with minimal cough. 15. hypertension. she is still 10 liters positive for her length of stay seeing as how she got a lot of intravenous fluids when admitted on the sepsis protocol and it is difficult for her to swallow her captopril pills so she is currently getting intravenous hydralazine as well as captopril when she cake them. consider adding a standing diuretic. the patient will take her p.o.'s. 16. diabetes type 2. she is continued on a regular insulin sliding scale and fingersticks four times a day. she was originally on glyburide. 17. prophylaxis. she is maintained on pneumo boots, ppi and subcutaneously heparin. 18. lines. she has a right triple lumen catheter in a subclavian position that was placed on by surgery. we are currently attempting to get peripheral intravenous's so that we can pull the triple lumen catheter. 19. code status. she is currently "do not resuscitate" (no defibrillations, no chest compression) however, the family would like to reintubate her should she have another episode of respiratory failure. 20. communication. her family visited daily. her pcp, . at was e-mailed on , her phone number is . the patient is currently being transferred to the floor. , m.d. dictated by: medquist36 procedure: venous

angap-13 brief hospital course: rhythm: after admission, the patient went into afib with rvr rates up to 150s, sbp as low as 50s, which could have contributed to his worsening failure. the amiodarone that the patient was maintained on as an outpatient was discontinued due to side effect of ataxia. metoprolol was increased and he was maintained on dopamine and natrecor for 6 days, diuresing well, maintaining map's > 55, and hr's between 80-120. when stabilized, ep was and inpatient av junction ablation with permanent biventricular pacing was performed on . due to his persistent atrial fibrillation, and akinetic apex on echo, heparin and warfarin 5 po qhs was started prophylactically. his inr prior to discharge was 1.5, so he was bridged with lovenox and will have close laboratory follow up. * pump: the paitent has a history of failure with an ef of 25%. the patient wwas admitted in decompensated chf, with unclear causes, possibly due to suboptimal filing due to his atrial fibrillation and diet non-compliance, or worsening renal function leading to failure of oupt diuresis. transiently, he decompensated further, evidenced by increased pulm edema on cxr and worsening mr on echo despite support with dopamine and natrecor. as tolerated by his kidneys, he was aggressively diuresed with lasix and chlorthiazide, responding well with urine output and without further increase in his creatinine. it is likely that the ep procedure improved renal perfusion, so he was discharged home on torsemide 80 mg po qd and with specific instructions on salt and fluid restriction. * coronaries: the patient is s/p cabg, he was ruled out for an ischemic event by ekg and serial enzymes. echo showed ef of 25%, 4+tr, 3+mr, akinetic apex. the patient was continued on asa 81mg, lipitor 20mg, toprol xl 12.5mg po. lisinopril was held during the patient's stay in the hospital, due to elevated cr and labile bp's, but was restarted prior to discharge home. * anemia: unclear etiology, probably mixed fe deficiency and anemica of chronic disease. will have low threshold to transfuse. iron supplementation should be considered as an outpatient when the patient is stable. * cri: patient had a hx of cri and came in with a cr of of 2.2, up from his baseline closer to 1.5. he was supported with dopamine and natrecor which improved his creatinine.it also improved with post-procedure. a chem 7 will be checked at close follow up. * gi: patient was constipated throughout his stay. aggressive bowel regiment was started and maintained at discharge. outpatient f/u for constipation is recommended. patient was discharged home on lactulose, dulcolax and colace. * gu: patient had significant penile and scrotal edema and bph on finasteride and tamsulosin. during the hospital stay, the patient developed an enterococci uti, sensitive to levaquin and was treated with a 10 day course of abx. during admission, foley was placed, and patient developed hematuria due to traumatic placement and clotted the foley off. gu was called, and recommended condom cath placement. however patient's uop dropped, and foley was replaced wihtout incident. patient was given pyridium to decrease bladder discomfort. after foley removal, the patient was noted to have post-void residual volume of 300 cc twice. the patient was observed to be continent and able to urinate despite this. it was recommended to the family that the patient be discharged with a foley catheter, but they reported that they would prefer none since the patent has a history of pulling the catheter, with copious bleeding because of anticoagulation. they were instructed to look for specific warning signs of retention, and will have follow up with urology in less than 1 week. * dementia: the patient had significant sundowning in the hospital. he was placed with a 1:1 sitter. it was felt that the major reason was probably due to being in an unfamiliar surroundings and the language barrier. he had one episode of threatening the sitter with closed fists, for which haldol 2.5mg iv was given which making the patient more confused. the family got involved and threatened legal action if anti-psychotics are used for this patient, and came in to spend nights with the patient. risk management, geriatrics and a social worker were involved and recommended no haldol, close follow-up with family. the family agreed to olanzipine for emergency situations. * back pain: pt has chronic back pain, and was maintained on home pain regiment of oxycontin. * skin: patient developed venous ulcer on his r leg and a pressure ulcer on his sacrum, as well as a skin tear of his right arm. wound care nurse and the ulcers improved prior to discharge. he will have visiting nurse assistance with wound care. * access: a picc was placed during hospitalization and removed prior to discharge. * code: full code during admission, confirmed with family. medications on admission: toprol xl 25, lisinopril 5 asa 81,

severe mitral regurgitation. the tee was also notable for pfo with left to right flow. she remained on intravenous antibiotics(gentamicin and vancomycin). the id service was consulted to assist in the management of antimicrobial therapy. additionally, the patient made note of decreased visual acuity in the left eye. ophthalmology was consulted and ruled out bacterial endophthalmitis. antibiotics were changed to penicillin g according to sensitivities from outside hospital. the patient noted severe neck stiffness, and mri was ordered which revealed c5-c6 osteomyelitis without abscess. neurosurgery was consulted, and while surgery is not indicated at this point, the recommendation is to wear a hard cervical collar for 6-8 weeks. the patient made good progress with the initiation 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: the patient is an 81-year-old female with diabetes mellitus type 2 complicated by end-stage renal disease on hemodialysis, history of retinopathy (legally blind) hypertension, hypercholesterolemia, status post cerebrovascular accident, peripheral vascular disease, who is admitted to the plastic surgery service on for incision and drainage of a left hand abscess. the patient initially admitted for left hand abscess with gram positive bacteria and underwent incision and drainage on . the patient was discharged on vancomycin. the patient was seen in clinic on and had a 6 cm area of necrotic tissue over the dorsum of the hand with edema more proximal to this area that was warm. the patient was admitted to the on and underwent a second incision and drainage and vac placement and started on cefazolin intravenous. on admission the patient had a crit of 35 with baseline 35 to 40. following incision and drainage the patient was given percocet for pain control, noted to have some tiny confusion and the percocet was discontinued and the patient was started on toradol, received 60 mg intramuscular on mg intramuscular on , 30 mg on . on the patient was found to have decreased flow through the permacath at hemodialysis. the patient was given tpa in both ports. at dialysis the patient complained of stomach pain and hematocrit was drawn that showed it was 30 down from 35 on admission. the patient was subsequently transferred to the micu on . the patient had initially gone to the o.r. for a skin flap with a full thickness skin graft to the left hand. the patient received 15 mg intramuscular of toradol preop. following the procedure the patient passed approximately 250 cc's of melanotic stool. crit at the time was 23.5 at 11 am and 20.3 at 3 pm. the patient remained hemodynamically stable with heart rates in 70's to 90's and blood pressure of 100 to 160/40 to 60. anesthesia placed a left ij for central venous access and the patient received approximately 700 cc's of intravenous fluids intraoperatively. in the post anesthesia care unit the gastrointestinal team was consulted and esophagogastroduodenoscopy performed which was normal (bilious material in the stomach, no signs of bleeding). recommended colonoscopy following transfusion. the labs were drawn postoperatively showing platelets of 255, bun 107 up from 51 from , an inr of 1.7 and a ptt of 55.1. the patient was subsequently given ddavp. at 7:15 pm the patient passed approximately 200 cc's of melena and was subsequently transferred to the medical intensive care unit. past medical history: 1. insulin dependent diabetes mellitus times 50 years, complicated by end-stage renal disease on hemodialysis, complicated by retinopathy, legally blind, complicated

seconds. head, eyes, ears, nose and throat anicteric sclera, oropharynx benign. cardiovascular: regular rate and rhythm. no murmurs, rubs or gallops. lungs: clear to auscultation bilaterally. abdomen is soft, nontender, nondistended, positive bowel sounds. extremities: no edema, nonfunctional arteriovenous fistula in the right upper extremity and left upper extremity. laboratory: on white count

no changes when compared to previous echocardiogram. chest x-ray for left ig placement. heart normal size. no pneumothorax. right upper lobe opacity stable compared to previous chest x-ray. recommend follow-up ct scan. microbiology: wound cultures left hand from no growth. hospital course: 1. gastrointestinal bleed: during the hospital course hematocrit declined 35 to 30 to 24 on day of transfer. the patient went for skin graft of the left hand. after the procedure the patient passed 250 cc's of melena as before though remained hemodynamically stable with a repeat crit of 20. underwent an esophagogastroduodenoscopy which was negative with transfer to the tcu for monitoring. the patient was typed and crossed, matched for four units with a goal crit of 30. protonix was started 40 mg intravenous q day for gastrointestinal prophylaxis and aspirin and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs were held off. the recommendation was to move further with a colonoscopy for further evaluation of the gastrointestinal bleed however, in the micu there was a long discussion with the patient's two health care proxies and they felt that the patient did not want to have invasive procedures done including colonoscopy and angiography, said that the patient often declined medical care and would not wish to have invasive procedures done now. they were given information regarding the procedure, benefits and risks including the possibility of finding a source of bleeding that is relatively easily treatable. they said they would like her to have more done but do not want to go against the relatives wishes, they hope that with time she will be able to wake up more and more and to make the final decision for herself. they understand she could have a life threatening bleed in the meantime and she could expire. given the patient's multiple comorbidities and the quality of life and her wishes the decision was to withdrawal invasive procedures appears reasonable. if she did re-bleed she would be transfused with packed red blood cells only and provide supportive care. this was discussed with the micu team and the decision was to transfer the patient to the medicine service on the floor and the patient was transferred on . after the family meeting and made dnr/dni no colonoscopy was to be done to diagnose the source of gastrointestinal bleed. on the medicine team her crit remained stable and she continued to refuse colonoscopy and a type cell scan with angio. serial crits were followed. her hematocrit was stabilizing at 26.9. 2. coagulations, heme. there was an initial increase of her inr of unclear reasons throughout to be done due to it being drawn from the heparin site and the patient was status post vitamin k reversal and now had stable inr at 1.3. on the floor she was continued to follow and no obvious pathology was found. 3. end-stage renal disease. the patient continued to have hemodialysis during hospital stay. she was continued on nephrocaps with the renal team following and repletion of k and subsequent following of her creatinine which was 8.0 at discharge. 4. elevation of troponin t. likely thought to be due to decreased renal clearance as per the renal team. the patient did not have any acute electrocardiogram changes and no chest pain and there is consideration of repeating the troponin t after hemodialysis to follow. otherwise there was no significant medical changes that needed to occur. 5. endo. the patient with hypothyroid and diabetes mellitus. levothyroxine was continued in the house as is regular insulin sliding scale. fingersticks were monitored closely. 6. plastic surgery and hand. the patient's arm was kept elevated, dressing changes were done q day. ancef 1 gram intravenous q 48 hours was continued. 7. pain. the patient was maintained on hydrocodone and acetaminophen 1 tab p.o. q 6 hours while in house. 8. fen. the patient was unable to take p.o's and intravenous meds were continued. 9. hypertension. elevation of her blood pressure given the stable hematocrit, after transfer to the floor the patient was restarted on her anti-hypertensive meds and titrated as needed amlodipine and captopril. 10. prophylaxis. the patient was given a proton pump inhibitor for gastrointestinal, pneumo boots were in place. 11. access. the patient has a left ij in position placed on . 12. code: dnr/dni. 13. disposition: on the day of discharge the patient refused transfusion of packed red blood cells after a crit of 26.0 from 29.1 was noted. the patient also refused all meds and requested desire to go home alone with health care proxies. the attending was , dr. and plan was for patient to be discharged on current inpatient meds with hemodialysis three times a week at her current location with follow-up with plastic surgery and continued antibiotics changed from ancef to keflex p.o. with follow-up with the pcp. 14. pulmonary nodule seen on a recent chest x-ray and will be required 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: the patient is a 73 year old gentleman with a history of mitral regurgitation, hypertension and chronic anemia. he was recently admitted in , to after ten days of chest pain and shortness of breath. he was found to be in atrial fibrillation. on chest x-ray he was found to be in congestive heart failure as well as showing cardiomegaly. the patient ruled out for an myocardial infarction at that time. cardiac catheterization on that admission revealed a left ventricular ejection fraction of 48%, three to four plus mitral regurgitation, 30% left main coronaries without flow limiting stenosis. during that admission also, the patient began to have complaints of visual field disturbances. an mri was obtained which showed a left occipital stroke thought to be due to embolic events from his atrial fibrillation. mitral valve surgery was delayed due to the recent onset of stroke. the patient's symptoms subsequently improved and the patient is now being admitted for mitral valve repair. past medical history: 1. mitral regurgitation. 2. chronic fatigue syndrome. 3. anemia, microcytic. 4. history of gastrointestinal bleed attributed to nsaids. 5. paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia times five years. 6. history of sleep apnea. 7. status post back surgery times two. 8. status post hemorrhoidectomy. 9. status post ear surgery. 10. chronic headache times 35 years. 11. chronic anxiety disorder. 12. hypertension. 13. cerebrovascular disease with a facial droop. 14. history of vertigo. 15. known cerebral small vessel disease. preoperative medications: 1. potassium chloride. 2. atenolol 100 mg p.o. q. day. 3. ativan 0.5 mg p.o. twice a day. 4. xanax 0.25 mg p.o. twice a day. 5. klonopin 0.5 mg p.o. q. h.s. 6. protonix 40 mg p.o. q. day. 7. aspirin 81 mg p.o. q. day. 8. lasix 20 mg p.o. q. day. allergies: no known drug allergies. social history: the patient has a history of a remote alcohol abuse, none in 30 years. physical examination: on admission, neurologically, the patient is grossly intact. pulmonary: lungs are clear to auscultation bilaterally. heart is irregularly irregular with iii/vi murmur. abdomen is benign. extremities are without edema. laboratory: carotid ultrasound is without stenosis. chest x-ray with no acute disease. white blood cell count 4.4, hematocrit 33.5, platelet count 196. sodium 140, potassium 4.0, chloride 104, bicarbonate 20, bun 26, creatinine 1.4, glucose 90. hospital course: the patient was taken to the operating room on for a mitral valve annuloplasty and a left heart maze's procedure. the patient tolerated to procedure well and was transferred to the intensive care unit in stable condition. the patient was transferred on milrinone for a decreased ejection fraction by echocardiogram seen in the operating room. immediately postoperatively the patient was noted to have large amounts of chest tube drainage. the patient's coagulopathy was corrected and the patient was subsequently taken back to the operating room for re-exploration for bleeding. no source was found and the patient was returned to the intensive care unit in stable condition. please see operative note for further details. the patient remained on milrinone and the patient had been begun on amiodarone for bursts of atrial fibrillation. a chest x-ray was obtained on postoperative day number one which showed what appeared to be a bilateral pleural effusion. bilateral chest tubes were placed. chest tubes put out minimal amounts and the patient had developed large amounts of secretions being suctioned from his endotracheal tube. it was decided to perform a bronchoscopy on the patient. the bronchoscopy showed mild white secretions bilaterally. the patient tolerated this procedure well. on postoperative day number two, the patient remained intubated. the patient continued to have episodes of atrial fibrillation and continued on amiodarone and milrinone. the patient was weaned and extubated from mechanical intubation on postoperative day number two. he tolerated this well. the milrinone was weaned to off with an adequate cardiac index. it was noted that the patient had a rising bun and creatinine. the patient was started on diuretics. on postoperative day number three, the patient was transferred from the intensive care unit to the regular floor. the patient was started on a heparin drip for his continued atrial fibrillation. the patient had varying amounts of agitation on transfer to the floor which was thought to be withdrawal of patient's preoperative benzodiazepine dosing. the patient was restarted on all of his benzodiazepines. this improved. the patient continued to diurese and the patient's oxygenation improved. the patient continued to be tachycardic and in atrial fibrillation. beta blocker was in place. the patient began working with physical therapy. on postoperative day number eight, it was noted that while the patient had rate controlled atrial fibrillation at rest, the patient had rapid atrial fibrillation with ambulation. the electrophysiology service was consulted and the decision was made to electrically cardiovert the patient. the patient was taken to the electrophysiology laboratory on , and was electrically cardioverted successfully into sinus rhythm. the patient tolerated this procedure well. the patient was transferred back to the regular floor and the patient quickly went back in to rapid atrial fibrillation. per the recommendation of the arrhythmia service, the patient's beta blocker was increased and the patient subsequently converted into sinus rhythm. the patient has remained in sinus rhythm, anti-coagulated on coumadin and the patient is cleared for discharge on , postoperative day number ten. condition on

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: no known allergies / adverse drug reactions attending: chief complaint: altered mental status, found down major surgical or invasive procedure: none history of present illness: this is an 83 year old female with pmh of diastolic chf, interstitial lung disease, htn, and hyperlipidemia who presented with ams, fever, and tachycardia after being found down on the floor near her bed by her nephew. went to celebrate with her family, and remembers being driven home. her nephew stayed with her for a while after dropping her off because he thought she was a little out of breath. after he left, the patient does not remember anything further. she was found in her pajamas next to her bed. the patient did not remember falling or passing out. she woke up while on the floor, and wondered what she was doing there, but then fell back asleep. her nephew tried calling her, and when she didn't pick up, he went over to find her laying on the floor. on presentation to the ed she was lethargic and a+ox2. she arrived complaining of shortness of breath. she denied any chest pain, nausea, vomitting, or diarrhea. in the ed, her initial vs were t=101.2, hr=130, bp=124/84, rr=32, and o2 sats were not recorded. she triggered for ams and tachycardia in the ed upon arrival. ekg showed an irregular tachycardia and was non-ischemic. labs were significant for wbc of 14.4, lactate of 1.6. cxr showed no evidence of pna. ua showed many bacteria but leukocyte esterase and nitrates were negative. her head ct was negative. an lp was unremarkable for infection. flu swab was sent, 1 gram of tylenol was given for her fever, and the patient was started on levofloxacin 750mg iv for cap given no other localizing findings. her hr was persistently in the 130s for her ed course. she was given diltiazem 15mg iv, then 20mg iv, and then 30mg po. this slowed her rate transiently to the 90s. she was then put on a diltiazem gtt which was titrated up to 10mg/hr with persistent tachycardia noted to the 130s. bps were stable in the 110s systolic, but it was felt that she would trigger on the floor for tachycardia so she was transferred to the icu. she has piv access and was reportedly breathing comfortably, but did get 3.5 liters of ivfs in the ed. prior to transfer to the icu, she was noted to be afebrile, pleasant, conversive with a hr=130s, bp=137/90, and satting 98% on 2l. review of systems: review of systems after the patient's mental status improved was notable for worsening shortness of breath over the last several few months. she had noted a dry cough. she denied orthopnea, fevers, chills, night sweats, change in bowel habits, hematochezia, abdominal pain, chest pain, palpitations, nausea, and vomiting. no notable weight loss or gain. she denied pnd.

this study due to technique including motion. there is heterogenous attenuation bilaterally which may be secondary to air trapping; recommend clinical correlation. 5. flattened trachea on inspiration may represent a component of tracheomalacia. 6. stable lung nodules. tte : the left atrium is elongated. there is mild symmetric left ventricular hypertrophy with normal cavity size and regional/global systolic function (lvef>55%). right ventricular chamber size and free wall motion are normal. the aortic valve leaflets (3) are mildly thickened but aortic stenosis is not present. trace aortic regurgitation is seen. the mitral valve leaflets are mildly thickened. at least mild to moderate (+) mitral regurgitation is seen. there is mild pulmonary artery systolic hypertension. there is a trivial/physiologic pericardial effusion. impression: suboptimal image quality. mild left ventricular hypertrophy with normal global biventricular systolic function. mild to moderate mitral regurgitation. mild pulmonary artery hypertension. compared with the prior study (images reviewed) of the severity of mitral regurgitation has increased and mild pulmonary artery systolic hypertension is now identified. brief hospital course: this is an 83 year old female with pmh of diastolic chf, interstitial lung disease, htn, and hyperlipidemia presenting with ams, fever to 101, tachycardia, and dyspnea after being found conscious but altered on the ground. 1) dyspnea/ hypoxia: likely multifactorial in the context of diastolic chf (see below), interstitial lung disease, and paralyzed and permanently elevated left hemidiaphragm. the patient was admitted and initially received treatment for community acquired pneumonia but this was discontinued after less than 24 hours given fevers and leukocytosis quickly resolved and no convincing infiltrate on chest radiograph. she was started on inhalers and diuresed and her subjective dyspnea and hypoxia improved a bit. she was discharged after appearing euvolemic and no clear methods of rapid optimization of her respiratory status. at time of discharge she was satting 91-92% on room air but desatting to 84% on ambulation. she continues to need 2l o2 continous by nasal cannula to maintain sats >90% while ambulating. 2) acute exacerbation of chronic diastolic chf: despite unimpressive chest radiograph findings the patient has a history of admissions where she has had worsened dyspnea and jvp elevation that has responded to diuretic therapy. at presentation she was tachycardic with an elevated jvp and crackles. she has a history of hypertension and signs of lvh on her echocardiogram suggesting diastolic dysfunction. she received furosemide 10-20 mg iv up to and was ultimately negative >2l for her hospitalization. with diuresis her jvp became less prominent and elevated and subjective dyspnea improved. heart rate was controlled with increasing doses of metoprolol and she will be discharged on metoprolol succinate 20 mg po daily. she will continue 20 mg of furosemide po daily as an outpatient. 3) tachycardia: patient has a history of sinus tachycardia of unknown etiology for which she was started on atenolol during a previous hospitalization in . ekgs and telemetry show sinus w/ pacs vs. mat. suspect that patient's lung disease may be causing an atrial arrhythmia, which in turn exacerbates her diastolic chf causing pulmonary edema. hr improved with increasing doses of beta blocker (transitioned to metoprolol) and with diuresis (potentially improving arrythmogenic atrial stretch). 4) interstitial lung disease/ ?nsip: the patient has a history of mild interstitial lung disease followed in pulmonary clinic. approximately 6 months ago she was seen and given her symptoms were manageable at that time and her ild was relatively mild therapy was deferred. since that visit, however, she reports progressively increased dyspnea suggesting a need to re-evalutate for progression. as she had likely pulmonary fluid overload during this hospitalization pfts were thought likely to be unrevealing in the acute setting. therefore, these were deferred. the patient will follow up for pft's and a pulmonology appointment in the week after discharge. 5) found down/ ams: the patient was found with altered mental status on the floor. the etiology of this is unclear. nephew, who found her, reports she has had progressively more difficulties at home due to her dyspnea and thought likely she became hypoxic and lost consciousness due to this. her altered mental status quickly resolved and infectious work up/ lp/ and head ct failed to reveal another etiology of loss of consciousness or altered mental status. she ruled out for mi and echo failed to suggest cardiogenic etiology of syncope. no suggestive signs of seizure. at time of discharge mental status was alert and oriented. 6) fever/ leukocytosis: the patient presented with fever and leukocytosis of unclear etiology. chest radiograph, urine culture, lp, and blood cultures all failed to reveal any source of infection. she had no fevers after her first day in the hospital. possible leukocytosis and fever due to leukemoid reaction given fall and time on ground (suggested by ck elevation) +/- small aspiration. she had been afebrile >72 hours off antibiotics at time of discharge. 7) gerd: patient was continued on home pantoprazole for gerd. 8) htn: the patient's amlodipine was held at admission. atenolol switched to metoprolol. at time of discharge normotensive on just metoprolol. calcium channel blocker should again versus considering acei given diastolic chf. 9) history of cad and cerebrovascular disease: she was ruled out for acs. she was continued on her home aspirin and bb. she was tolerating a low salt, heart healthy diet. she remained full code. she will be discharged to rehab for oxygen therapy, volume management, and physical therapy. medications on admission: -amlodipine 5 mg po daily

due to fluid overload. we gave you medications to get rid of excess fluidand your breathing improved but not enough that we could safely discharge you without oxygen. we are sending you to a rehabilitation facility to continue to improve and because you were concerned about getting around at home with oxygen. your medications have been changed. you have been started on a small dose of furosemide (lasix) to help keep you from building up too much fluid, which can back up in your lungs. your atenolol has been switched to a similar medicine called metoprolol to help control your heart rate. finally, we have started you on inhalers called albuterol and ipratropium to help your breathing. weigh yourself every morning, md if weight goes up more than 3 lbs in 24 hours. please limit your fluid intake to 2 l per day. please do not add salt to your diet and keep your daily sodium intake under 2 gm. followup instructions: department: pulmonary function lab when: tuesday at 8:40 am

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 55 -year-old gentleman with end stage renal disease secondary to diabetes mellitus, who presented eight months status post cadaveric renal transplant. he was noted to have a rising creatinine on routine follow up. he was otherwise asymptomatic. his cadaveric renal transplant was from a 64 -year-old donor with occult ischemia times fifteen hours in . his best creatinine postoperatively was 2.1. his course has been complicated by a urinary tract infection in with a subsequent increase in creatinine. a renal biopsy at this time showed signs of rejection and he received a three day pulse of steroids and subsequently did well. past medical history: diabetes mellitus, chronic renal failure with end stage renal disease prior to transplant, peripheral vascular disease, hypertension. past surgical history: status post bilateral below the knee amputation, status post left open reduction, internal fixation of hip, status post arthroscopic lysis of peritoneal adhesions, status post left cataract extraction, status post multiple a-v fistulas, status post peritoneal dialysis catheter. admitting medications: prograf 3.0 mg po bid, prednisone 10 mg po q day, rapamune 3.0 mg po q day, zantac 150 mg , bactrim single strength one q day, metoprolol 50 mg , aspirin 81 mg po q day, nph insulin 38 units in the am and 8 units in the pm. allergies: no known drug allergies. physical examination: on admission, afebrile. in general, a well appearing gentleman in no acute distress. chest is clear to auscultation bilaterally. cardiac: normal sinus rhythm. abdomen: soft, nontender, nondistended, graph nontender. extremities: status post bilateral below the knee amputation. hospital course: 1. immunosuppression: the patient underwent biopsy which revealed acute cellular rejection. because of this his immunosuppressive regimen was altered. he received an increased dose of prednisone and rapamune. in addition, he received one pulse of thymoglobulin. during the actual infusion, the patient was hemodynamically stable. several hours following the infusion, however, the patient became hypotensive and tachycardic. because of this he was transferred to the intensive care unit for invasive monitoring. infectious disease work up for this was negative, as outlined further below. because of this, it was felt that the patient had a strong reaction to the thymoglobulin specifically, and he received no further treatment with this medicine. the patient underwent a second biopsy before making any further changes in his immunosuppressive regimen. this biopsy revealed microangiopathy and decreased evidence of rejection. because of this, his prograf was discontinued and he was started on azathioprine. his most recent creatinine is 3.6 which has trended downward significantly from a peak of almost 5.0. 2. respiratory: the patient did very well from a respiratory standpoint with no issues. during the hypotensive episode noted above, his respirations remained stable. after transfer to the unit, because of the need for invasive monitoring, he was intubated. he was extubated with ease with good gases after one attempt. following this he had coarse breath sounds which resolved with ambulation and incentive spirometry. he did not develop any pneumonia. 3. cardiovascular: the patient had persistent hypertension throughout his stay and for this multiple regimens were instituted. the regimen that finally decreased his blood pressure from the 190-200 systolic over 90-110 diastolic range was a combination of lopressor 150 mg po bid and norvasc 10 mg a day. this regimen resulted in some bradycardia into the 50's which the patient tolerated very well. 4. gastrointestinal: the patient had intermittent diarrhea during his stay. this was worked up for clostridium difficile and he was negative. following this, he was treated symptomatically with lomotil or imodium with improvement. in addition, he was treated with creon prior to his meals with some improvement. 5. genitourinary: the patient was seen by urology for urinary retention. for this a foley was left in place. eventually, however, this was removed and the patient voided. by urologist's recommendations, he was also started on urecholine. 6. heme: the patient's hematocrit slowly trended downward to 21 while he was on his immunosuppressive regimen. no bleeding source was identified. he was transfused two units of packed red blood cells and his hematocrit has remained stable between 26 and 29 since then. in addition, the patient received epogen. 7. fluids, electrolytes, and nutrition: the patient had intermittent electrolyte abnormalities that were corrected. except for during bouts of diarrhea, the patient had good po intake without nausea or vomiting. 8. endocrine: the patient's blood sugars were initially well controlled. following his transfer back to the unit, however, his blood sugars rose into the 400's. because of this he was started on an insulin drip. after approximately twelve hours on the insulin drip, ketones were no longer present in his urine and his blood sugars came down into the 100's. consult was obtained, who managed his regimen with nph insulin and humalog sliding scale. he had one episode of low blood sugars in the middle of the night which resolved with po intake. 9. musculoskeletal: the patient received a physical therapy consult, as he had become somewhat deconditioned during his two days in the unit and given his bilateral below the knee amputations, it was felt that it would be beneficial for him to have assistance with improving his abilities and strength. the patient did very well with physical therapy. he was discharged to home physical therapy by the inpatient service. discharge medications: prednisone 20 mg po q day, rapamune 5.0 mg po q day, azathioprine 100 mg po q day, lopressor 150 mg po bid, norvasc 10 mg po q day, zantac 150 mg po q day, creon four tablets before meals, imodium prn, urecholine 5.0 mg po tid, lasix 40 mg po prn, but not to be used q day as this has resulted in increased creatinine, epogen 4,000 units subcutaneous monday, wednesday, friday, calcium carbonate 1,250 mg po tid, bactrim single strength po q day, nystatin 5.0 cc po tid, ganciclovir 500 mg po q day. nph insulin: while the patient takes good po's, he does well with 30 units in the morning and 8 units in the pm. while taking poor po's the patient does well with 22 units in the morning and 6 units in the pm. it is anticipated that his po's will improve by the time of his discharge and he will leave on a regimen of nph 30 and 8. his insulin sliding scale as defined by the clinic is as follows: humalog sliding scale before breakfast 0 to 200 - no intervention, 201 to 250 - 5 units, 251 to 300 - 7 units, 301 to 350 - 9 units, and 351 to 400 - 11 units. humalog sliding scale before lunch and dinner is less than 200 - 0 units, 201 to 250 - 8 units, 251 to 300 - 10 units, 301 to 350 - 12 units, 351 to 400 - 14 units. humalog at bedtime is 2 units of humalog insulin if blood sugar is greater than 350. discharge instructions: the patient should have a low sodium, renal diet. in addition, he should follow up with his surgeon, dr. , as well as with his primary care physician and his nephrologist. the patient should do fingersticks qid and also follow a diabetic diet. , m.d. dictated by: medquist36 procedure: continuous invasive mechanical ventilation for 96 consecutive hours or more colonoscopy closed [percutaneous] [needle] biopsy

cervical dilatation. mother received a full course of betamethasone and magnesium sulfate. prior to delivery, mother developed a temperature of t max of 99.6. infant was delivered precipitously by vaginal route. pediatrics arrived at 30 seconds of life. she was on the warmer, dried, suctioned and stimulated. positive pressure ventilation was given with heart rate throughout. she was electively intubated in the delivery room. physical exam at discharge: well-appearing post dates infant. anterior fontanel open and flat. sutures approximated. palate intact. work of breathing easy in room air. breath sounds clear and equal. regular rate and rhythm. normal s1, s2. no murmur. abdomen benign, no hepatosplenomegaly. active bowel sounds. normal female genitalia. infant active and alert with exam. skin: pink and well perfused. neuro appropriate for gestational age. hospital course by systems including pertinent laboratory data: baby was intubated in the delivery room, was admitted to the neonatal intensive care unit, received 2 doses of surfactant for management of respiratory distress syndrome. she was on simv for a total of 24 hours, transitioned to cpap and was stable until the onset of a patent ductus arteriosus requiring reintubation. she successfully transitioned to cpap on and remained on cpap until , at which time she transitioned to nasal cannula. she has been in room air since . she was initially started on caffeine citrate for management of apnea and bradycardia of prematurity and was discontinued around 34 weeks of gestational age. persistent apnea and bradycardia episodes prompted the reinitiation of caffeine, following a pneumogram which demonstrated central apnea. a repeat pneumogram on caffeine citrate was performed on and the results were pending on the day of discharge. she has not had any spells since being restarted on the caffeine. cardiovascular: received 2 full course of indomethacin therapy for patent ductus arteriosus and further required a surgical ligation on . fluids, electrolytes and nutrition: birth weight was 765 grams, length 35 cm, head circumference 23 cm. discharge weight was 5 kg, length 54.5 cm, head circumference 34 cm. she was initially started on parenteral nutrition. enteral feedings were initiated on . she achieved full feedings by . max enteral intake was 150 cc/kg per day of breast milk 30 with promod. she is currently ad lib feeding with a minimum of 130 cc of enfamil 20 calorie with rice cereal. feeding team was consulted on at 40 weeks corrected gestational age, due to poor p.o. intake. she had 2 modified barium swallows which demonstrated micro aspiration. on , there was no micro aspiration noted with thickened feeds. she is currently feeding enfamil with rice cereal with a dr. #2 nipple. recommended follow- up modified barium swallow is scheduled for . gastrointestinal/genitourinary: maximum bilirubin was 3.6 over 0.3. she was treated with phototherapy and the issue has resolved. in the process of working up her persistent apnea and bradycardia post corrected gestational age, she was started on reglan and zantac for presumed reflux and she continues on those to date. hematology: blood type is a positive, direct coombs negative. her most recent hematocrit was on . hematocrit was 30. her last transfusion was on . she is currently receiving ferrous sulfate supplementation. infectious disease: cbc and blood culture were obtained on admission. ampicillin and gentamycin were discontinued at 48 hours with a negative blood culture. infant received a total of 7 days of vancomycin and gentamicin in light of worsening clinical condition around the time of patent ductus arteriosus. the antibiotics were discontinued on and a lumbar puncture performed during the antibiotic course was within normal limits. neuro: she has had 3 normal head ultrasounds, her most recent on showed capcaious subarachnoid growth with thin white matter and thin corpus callosum. this was consistent more rapid head growth than brain growth. unless her head circumference increases dramatically, this is not a particularly worrisome finding in a fomer 25 week infant who is now 45 weeks post-menstral age. sensory: hearing screening was passed prior to discharge. ophthalmology: she was most recently examined on , revealing normal mature retina. recommended follow-up in 6 months. condition on discharge: stable. discharge disposition: to home. name of primary pediatrician: dr. , telephone number . care and recommendations: continue ad lib feeding, enfamil 20 calorie with rice cereal, 1 tbsp. for every 2 ounces. medications: reglan 0.4 mg t.i.d. (0.08 mg/kg per dose). zantac 10 mg t.i.d. (2 mg/kg per dose). prune juice 5 ml p.o. daily for constipation. ferrous sulfate supplementation of 0.7 ml p.o. daily, 25 mg/kg per day. caffeine citrate of 40 mg p.o. daily (8 mg/kg per dose). iron supplementation is recommended for preterm and low birth weight infants until 12 months corrected age. all infants fed predominantly breast milk should receive vitamin d supplementation at 200 i.u. (may be provided as a multi- vitamin preparation) daily until 12 months corrected age. immunizations received: she has received hib and prevnar on , pediarix on and also received initial dose of pediarix on , hepatitis b vaccine on , dtap on , pneumococcal 7-falent conjugate on . immunizations recommended: synagis rsv prophylaxis should be considered from through for infants who meet any of the following four criteria: (1) born at less than 32 weeks; (2) born between 32 weeks and 35 weeks with two of the following: day care during rsv season, a smoker in the household, neuromuscular disease, airway abnormalities or school age siblings; (3) chronic lung disease or (4) hemodynamically significant congenital heart disease. influenza immunization is recommended annually in the fall for all infants once they reach 6 months of age. before this age, and for the first 24 months of the child's life, immunization against influenza is recommended for household contacts and out-of-home caregivers. this infant has not received rotavirus vaccine. the american academy of pediatrics recommends initial vaccination of preterm infants at or following discharge from the hospital if they are clinically stable or at least 6 weeks but fewer than 12 weeks of age. followup: follow-up appointment with the feeding team for modified barium swallow on . ophthalmology: follow-up with dr. , telephone number at 6 months corrected age. discharge diagnoses: 1. preterm infant, born at 25 and week gestational age. 2. respiratory distress syndrome. 3. chronic lung disease. 4. rule out sepsis with antibiotics. 5. patent ductus arteriosus. 6. micro aspiration. 7. hyperbilirubinemia. 8. mild retinopathy of prematurity, resolved. , md procedure: venous catheterization, not elsewhere classified continuous invasive mechanical ventilation for 96 consecutive hours or more spinal tap incision of lung diagnostic ultrasound of heart insertion of endotracheal tube enteral infusion of concentrated nutritional substances injection or infusion of other therapeutic or prophylactic substance other phototherapy prophylactic administration of vaccine against other diseases transfusion of packed cells other surgical occlusion of vessels, thoracic vessels other nonoperative respiratory measurements diagnoses: esophageal reflux need for prophylactic vaccination and inoculation against viral hepatitis single liveborn, born in hospital, delivered without mention of cesarean section extreme immaturity, 750-999 grams respiratory distress syndrome in newborn neonatal jaundice associated with preterm delivery primary apnea of newborn neonatal bradycardia patent ductus arteriosus anemia of prematurity other specified conditions originating in the perinatal period retrolental fibroplasia septicemia [sepsis] of newborn 25-26 completed weeks of gestation hypotension, unspecified late metabolic acidosis of newborn other fetal and newborn aspiration with respiratory symptoms Answer: The patient is high likely exposed to

placement intubation tpa treatment for pulmonary embolus history of present illness: this is a 58 year old male with a history of polysubstance abuse (etoh, heroine, crack and cocaine) and hepatitis c who presents for alcohol detoxification. pt reports that he had been drinking ~2 pints of whiskey per day for the past 18 mo and that two days ago he decided to "sober up" and hasn't had a drink since. yesterday morning started to feel "the shakes" and while walking down the street his r leg suddenly started to shake uncontrolably and he fell down. he does not recall the episode very well but

bilateral pulmonary emboli, extending to all lobar arteries. 2. peripheral tree-in- and ground-glass opacities, suggesting possible infection. 3. ivc reflux, hepatic vein reflux-findings indicate an element of right heart failure. . bilateral lower extremity ultrasound (): bilateral non-occlusive thrombus within the peroneal vein extending into the distal popliteal veins. . echocardiography tte () the left atrium is normal in size. the estimated right atrial pressure is 10-20mmhg. left ventricular wall thickness, cavity size and regional/global systolic function are normal (lvef >55%). the right ventricular cavity is moderately dilated with severe global free wall hypokinesis. the aortic valve leaflets (3) appear structurally normal with good leaflet excursion and no aortic regurgitation. the mitral valve appears structurally normal with trivial mitral regurgitation. there is no mitral valve prolapse. there is moderate pulmonary artery systolic hypertension. there is no pericardial effusion. compared with the prior study (images reviewed) of , left ventricular systolic function is improved and the right ventricular cavity is now dilated and severely hypokinetic (c/w pulmonary embolism). moderate pulmonary artery systolic hypertension is now present. echocardiography tte () the left atrium is normal in size. the left ventricular cavity size is normal. regional left ventricular wall motion is normal. overall left ventricular systolic function is normal (lvef>55%). the right ventricular cavity is moderately dilated with severe global free wall hypokinesis. there is abnormal septal motion/position consistent with right ventricular pressure/volume overload. there is no aortic valve stenosis. no aortic regurgitation is seen. the mitral valve leaflets are mildly thickened. trivial mitral regurgitation is seen. the tricuspid valve leaflets are mildly thickened. tricuspid regurgitation is present but cannot be quantified. there is a small pericardial effusion. echocardiographic signs of tamponade may be absent in the presence of elevated right sided pressures. there is significant, accentuated respiratory variation in mitral/tricuspid valve inflows, consistent with impaired ventricular filling. compared with the prior study (images reviewed) of , a small pericardial effusion is now seen. this is located anterior to the right ventricle. there is respiratory variation in the mitral inflow, suggesting impaired lv filling. however, this could be due to the dilated, hypokinetic rv. there is no evidence of ra or rv collapse, however echo signs of tamponade may be absent when the ra and rv pressures are elevated. . echo tte : compared with the findings of the , the right ventricle is no longer dilated, and contractile function is markedly improved. the pericardial effusion is smaller. . mri : 1. no finding to specifically suggest vertebral osteomyelitis, discitis, or paraspinal or epidural abscess. 2. thoracolumbar scoliosis with asymmetric degenerative changes, as described above. these findings are most marked at the l3-4 and l4-l5 levels, where there is subarticular zone stenosis, bilaterally, without definite neural impingement. 3. diffusely and relatively uniformly hypointense signal in vertebral bone marrow, without focal abnormality (other than discogenic endplate changes). this appearance may reflect red marrow re-conversion in response to underlying anemia, or even diffuse osteopenia, but an infiltrative process cannot be completely excluded - clinical correlation recommended. brief hospital course: # alcohol detoxification/benzodiazepime intoxication: patient has a long history of etoh abuse. on admission he was in clear withdrawal w/ tachycardia (hr up to 160s), hypertension (up to 150s/110s), tremolousness, diaphoresis and aggitation. he was requiering high doses of benzos everyday and frequent ciwa monitoring (up to q30min). on he was transitioned to strictly po valium. on he had received >500mg of valium (iv + po) and signs of withdrawal had started to decrease. his hr was under much better control (hr 87-104), bp ranging from 106/87-144/109, his tremolousness and other signs of withdrawal had decreased dramatically. his ciwa interval was increased to q4h. he never had any signs of seizure activity or of dt's. the patient received over 400 mg of valium in the icu for etoh withdrawal; he then developed benzodiazepime intoxication, with somnulance, lethargy, slurred speech. addictions and social work were consulted. his mental status slowly improved however on he had an aspiration event, respiratory distress and his mental status declined again. on he was transferred back to the icu due to inability to manage his secretions and somnulance. . in the icu pt was initially easily arousable without the need for much flumazenil. urine and serum toxiciology continued to show positive benzos though pt has not had any benzos since . patient continued to have thick secretions, developed respiratory distress, and found to have an absent gag reflex, and so was intubated on . benzos were avoided for means of sedation while intubated. patient subsequently received tracheostomy. . # aspiration pna: the patient had an aspiration event on ; head ct at that time also showed sinusitis. he developed a 2l o2 requirement. he was afebrile and had no leukocytosis, however, due to cough and nasal secretions was started on unasyn for aspiration pna and sinusitis. his mental status improved and following swallow eval he was started on a ground/thickened diet. on the patient then developed respiratory distress and was thought to have suffered another aspiration event. he spiked to 102 and his mental status deteriorated again. he had copious secretions requiring frequent suctioning. his antibiotics were broadened to zosyn. on the patient was noted to have increasing thick secretions requiring high level nursing care and therefore he was transferred back to the icu. . in the icu, patient continued to have very thick secretions that could not be cleared by suctioning. he was found to be in respiratory distress, which was later found to be due to bilateral pulmonary embolus, and without a gag reflex, so was intubated on . pt completed course of empiric antibiotics for aspiration pneumonia. . # fever/endocarditis - patient was found to be febrile during second icu admission. patient was found to have coag negative staph growing from a-line catheter tip and central line cultures as well as klebsiella, mrsa and gnrs (most likely diptheria) growing from sputum for which he is currently being treated with vancomycin and ceftriaxone. pt c/o back pain and mri spine was negative for osteomyelitis. echocardiography performed on showed tricuspid vegetations. patient had picc line placed and will be treated with 6 weeks of iv vancomycin, started on , to be completed on . . # respiratory failure/pulmonary emboli: patient was found to be severely tachypneic and without a gag reflex on for which he was intubated. cta showed bilateral pes. lenis showed bilateral dvts. because of the extent of the clots, patient was given tpa and then subsequently put on heparin drip. during tpa treatment, patient developed bleeding from the left middle turbinate area due to trauma from previous suctioning. ent packed the site of bleed without any other intervention. while on heparin, patient continued to have slow oozing from the oropharynx and exhibited some hematuria (likely trauma from foley placement, ua was negative for red cell casts which would suggest renal emboli) which progressively resolved. hematocrit was stable despite the bleeding. pt remains on heparin drip currently, being bridged to coumadin. nasal bleeding has resolved. . patient had received a bronchoscopy shortly after intubation which showed normal airways with the exception of thick mucus in the mainstem bronchus. . attempts to wean patient off ventilator was challenging. patient did well on ac and was changed to cpap/ps. he showed signs of distress on cpap/ps and was tachypneic to the 40s-50s regardless of peep setting, likely because of diaphragmatic weakness. patient will be maintained on ac with intermittent trials of cpap/ps to strengthen diaphragm. patient underwent tracheostomy on in anticipation of a more prolonged course on the ventilator. patient is currently doing well on trach mask and speaking valve. speech and swallow has cleared patient to take food and drink by mouth so peg tube placement was deferred. . # atrial fibrillation: patient was found to have new onset atrial fibrillation of uncertain duration on admission. this was thought to be secondary to his etoh abuse but less likely etiologies including hyperthyroidism, hypertension and pe were also pursued. he was started on diltiazem po given his history of cocaine abuse. his tsh was within the normal range. he also required metoprolol for rate control. he was started on aspirin. anticoagulation was contraindicated given low chads2 score and active polysubstance abuse/lack of regular medical follow up. he will require outpatient follow up. . in the icu patient was continued on po diltizam 90mg 4x/day and metoprolol 12.5mg tid with good rate control. asa was held for bleeding. metoprolol was subsequently discontinued as patient was well controlled on the po diltiazem alone. patient was anticoagulated with heparin drip and is currently being bridged to coumadin. . # cardiomyopathy: patient was found to have new cardiomyopathy seen on echo with ef 40-45%. this was thought to be most likely due to a combination of prolonged tachyarrhythmia (a-fib) and etoh use; however, the differential also includes hiv, virus, hemochromatosis or idiopathic. hiv testing was deferred during the active withdrawal phase and should be re-addressed when patient is felt to be able to consent for the test. iron studies were not consistent w/ hemochromatosis. he was started on an ace-i. he will require outpatient follow up for further workup. . after discovery of bilateral pe on cta, echocardiography showed that patient had rv hypokinesis and wall strain likely due to bilateral pes. repeat echo was performed which demonstrated improved rv function. . # alcoholic hepatitis: patient had elevated lft's on admission which were thought to related to etoh abuse/hepatitis and confounded by hep c. no stigmata of chronic liver disease were seen on physical examination. his discriminant function was 6 so there was no indication to start steroids. ruq u/s showed fatty infiltration of the liver and biliary sludging. cholecystitis was not suspected as he had no signs or symptoms consistent with it. lft's trended down steadily over his hospitalization. . # anion gap: pt had an ag of 16 on admission. it was suspected that this was likely related to alcoholic ketoacidosis. he denied any other ingestions. his osm gap was calculated to be 3 and his gap closed on hd2. . # c. diff - patient was found to have loose stools. stool tests showed that he was positive for c.diff and was started on oral vancomycin. po vancomycin will be continued until . medications on admission: omeprazole 20 flomax 0.4 suboxone discharge medications: 1. chlorhexidine gluconate 0.12 % mouthwash : fifteen (15) ml mucous membrane (2 times a day). 2.

followed to resolution to exclude an underlying mass. echo () the estimated right atrial pressure is 10-20mmhg. the left ventricular cavity size is normal. overall left ventricular systolic function is normal (lvef>55%). there is a mild resting left ventricular outflow tract obstruction. the aortic root is mildly dilated at the sinus level. the aortic valve is not well seen. there is no aortic valve stenosis. no aortic regurgitation is seen. the mitral valve appears structurally normal with trivial mitral regurgitation. the pulmonary artery systolic pressure could not be determined. there

likely secondary to collapsed bowel from underdistension as no associated mesenteric stranding to suggest active colitis. brief hospital course: # hypoxia/ards/pneumonia: the patient presented with 3 days of fever, cough, sob and congestion. she presented to an osh hypoxic and hypotensive. she was given levofloxacin, placed on a nrb and transferred to . in the ed she continued to be hypoxic to the low 80's and hypotensive requiring pressors (levophed, neo, dopamine). she was intubated for respiratory failure. she was also given vancomycin, clindamycin and tamiflu. she was transferred to the icu for further management. the patient had a cxr that showed multifocal opacities and was venilated based on ards protocol. the patient's flu came back negative from the state lab and tamiflu was d/c. however, blood cultures from returned with s. pneumo (pan-sensitive) and he was continued on meropenem/vancomycin. the patient was eventually narrowed to a 14 day course of levofloxacin. the sputum cultures have only grown yeast and all blood cultures remained negative. the patient was aggressively diuresed given volume overload on a lasix gtt and eventually was able to be extubated on . following extubation, patient did well with oxygen via nasal canula. it was weaned as tolerated. on discharge, mrs. was satting 95% on 2-3l by nc. . #hypotension- on admission the patient was hypotensive and required pressors including levophed, neo, and dopamine. he received approx 7l of ivf for hypotension. in the icu the patient's pressors were able to be weaned to levophed and vasopressin overnight. the patient was able to be weaned off levophed on , but remained on vasopressin intermittently until while being diuresed. aside from one episode of hypotension while on lasix/ ambien, mrs. blood pressure was stable throughout the rest of the admission. . # acute renal failure: at the osh the patient's creatinine was found to be 4.5. on admission to her creatinine was 2.0 and improved with ivf and blood pressure management. it was likely a combination of pre-renal leading to atn. the patient's renal function improved and returned to baseline prior to discharge . # fevers: patient with continued fevers throughout her course likely from pan-sensitive strep pneumo bacteremia isolated at the osh hospital. the patient was treated for pneumonia as above with broad spectrum antibiotics. her urine cultures remained negative and only growing yeast. patient underwent ruq that showed some dilation of the cbd, but evaluated by surgery who did not feel it was the cause of her fevers. she also underwent mri of the t/l/s spine that was negative for abscess. she was continued on levofloxacin for a planned 14 day course. . # nausea/vomiting: following extubation, mrs. had difficulty tolerating po's. she had several episodes of nausea and vomiting. she was evaluated by speech and swallow and there was no evidence of aspiration. the nausea and vomiting quickly resolved on its own without further intervention. on discharge she was tolerating a regular diet. . # weakness: lower extremity weakness noted once patient extubated and awake. this was thought to be secondary to deconditioning. physical therapy was initiated and her weakness was improving throughout her admission. by discharge she was ambulating with a walker though remains significantly

valve. overall the patient tolerated the procedure well and post-operatively was transferred to the cvicu in stable condition for recovery and invasive monitoring. cefazolin was used for surgical antibiotic prophylaxis. pod 1 found the patient extubated, alert and oriented and breathing comfortably. the patient was neurologically intact and hemodynamically stable, weaned from inotropic and vasopressor support. beta blocker was initiated and the patient was gently diuresed toward the preoperative weight. the patient was transferred to the telemetry floor for further recovery. he did develop post-op a-fib briefly and converted to sinus rhythm with amiodarone. chest tubes and pacing wires were discontinued without complication. the patient was evaluated by the physical therapy service for assistance with strength and mobility. by the time of discharge on pod 6 the patient was ambulating freely, the wound was healing and pain was controlled with oral analgesics. the patient was discharged to rehab (tcu, hospital) in good condition with appropriate follow up instructions. medications on admission: asa 325 mg daily metoprolol xl 50 mg daily mvi daily fish oil simvastatin

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 year old female with no history of coronary artery disease. she presented to an outside hospital at 10 p.m. on the evening of admission. on the day prior to admission, she complained of nausea, vomiting, back/chest/abdominal pain. electrocardiogram at that point revealed anterior st elevations. the patient was treated initially with aspirin, intravenous lopressor and morphine and integrilin drip, heparin and then transferred to for emergent catheterization. catheterization showed 100% lesion in the proximal left anterior descending with 70% lesion in her d-1, d-2. mild right coronary artery disease as well. proximal left anterior descending was successfully stented with first attempt, achieving timi-iii flow. however, catheterization was complicated by several episodes of ventricular fibrillation, requiring shock, following the placement of a pa catheter. the patient was responsive to these shocks. currently, post catheterization, the patient is comfortable on 100% non rebreather, responding to questions appropriately and reporting no pain at this point. past medical history: 1. osteoarthritis. 2. history of falls. 3. status post right total hip replacement seven years ago. 4. status post pelvic fracture five years ago. 5. polio as a child with residual left leg weakness. 6. baseline walker. 7. diverticulitis. 8. chronic abdominal distention. 9. hard of hearing. 10. hypothyroidism. medications: levoxyl 50 mcg q. day. lasix 30 mg q. day. dulcolax. social history: she lives alone in , independent living. no tobacco or alcohol history. allergies: no known drug allergies per record. physical examination: on admission, her temperature was 96; blood pressure around 120/80; heart rate 100 to 110; respiratory rate of 18; 98% on room non rebreather. in general, she was alert and oriented times two; alert to person and date, not oriented to location. head, eyes, ears, nose and throat: jvp extended to jawline, supine. cardiovascular examination was tachycardiac, regular rhythm. lungs were clear to auscultation anteriorly. abdominal examination was soft, mildly distended, nontender. extremities: trace amounts of edema. she has dopplerable dorsalis pedis and posterior tibial pulses bilaterally. right groin had a line and her venous sheath was placed. laboratory data: on admission, white count was 5,000; hematocrit of 33.4; platelets of 373. chemistries: 140; potassium of 3.7; chloride 101; bicarbonate 23; bun 20; creatinine 1; glucose 146. liver function tests were normal. cardiac enzymes revealed ck of 76, mb of 5.2; troponin was 1.4 with normal index. arterial blood gases showed ph of 7.331, pc02 of 34, p02 of 92. electrocardiogram from the outside hospital shows right sinus rhythm with a rate of 80 beats per minute; significant for prominent st elevations, approximately 5 to 6 mm in leads v2 and v3. gentle slight st elevations of 1 to 2 mm in leads 1 and avl, with reciprocal st depressions in leads 2, 3 and avf. cardiac catheterization shows left main coronary mild disease; left anterior descending shows occluded proximal with successful percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty stent, with 10% residual in left anterior descending. ultimate d-1 and d-2 where d-2 had a 70% mid stenosis at d-1, no change of occlusion. 60% lesion in mid obtuse marginal, left circumflex and right coronary artery had 50% disease. right sided filling pressures were unable to completely be obtained, secondary to complications of ventricular fibrillation with advancement of the pulmonary catheter. her rv pressure was 42 over 22. unable to obtain cardiac pulmonary wedge, secondary to complications of ventricular fibrillation. chest x-ray shows small bilateral effusions, left greater than right; mild congestive heart failure. electrocardiogram post catheterization shows sinus tachycardia of 115; anterolateral t wave inversions with q waves v2 with less than elevation; depressions in inferior leads. hospital course: 1. cardiovascular. (a) coronary artery disease: the patient came in for anterior st elevation myocardial infarction and underwent successful stenting of her left anterior descending. her ck's ended up peaking at 6,300 on . she was continued on integrilin for 18 hours post catheterization cannula and aspirin. she was started on lipitor and also started on beta blockade and ace inhibitor which were titrated up as her cardiovascular status tolerated. initially, it was planned to anticoagulate the patient in the setting of anterior myocardial infarction with likely resultant anterior akinesis and likely increased risk for thromboembolic events. however, it was felt that the patient was an increased fall risk and would not be an ideal candidate for anticoagulation and, as such, heparin was discontinued. (b) pump. the patient underwent a right sided cardiac catheterization. unfortunately, this was limited secondary to the patient undergoing ventricular fibrillation with advancement of pulmonary artery catheter into the left ventricle. based upon her elevated right atrial and ventricular pressures, it was felt that she was in mild over load. she did receive 40 mg of intravenous lasix in the cardiac catheterization laboratory and responded well with over a liter and a half of diuresis. subsequently, her oxygen requirements had decreased dramatically. she did undergo an echocardiogram which showed an ejection fraction of 35%; mildly dilated left atrium; moderate to mild aortic regurgitation; mild mitral regurgitation and mild tricuspid regurgitation and pulmonary artery systolic function with overall moderately depressed left ventricular diastolic function, particularly anterior, septal, apical and distal inferior akinesis. as mentioned above, the patient had been started on gentle beta blockade and ace inhibitor. as her cardiovascular status, her beta blockade was gently titrated given the fact that she presented with a mild congestive heart failure. following her first hospital day, she had excellent diuresis in response to 40 mg of intravenous lasix. by this time, the patient was felt to be close to be euvolemic. the patient had come in on standing p.o. lasix 30 mg q. day. at this point, the patient would likely benefit from a low dose standing lasix although we must be careful to not over diurese this patient as she has shown the ability to not take in adequate amounts of p.o. enough to compensate for being diuresed. this dose may be altered and will be dictated at a later date. (c) hemodynamics: the patient remained hemodynamically stable during her hospital course in the ccu. as mentioned above, she was started on gentle ace inhibitor and beta blockade. (d) rhythm: the patient was admitted to ccu following ventricular fibrillation arrest, in the setting of having her pulmonary artery catheter advanced past her right ventricle. once post catheterization, the patient did remain in sinus rhythm with occasional ectopy. 2. pulmonary: as mentioned above, the patient had a chest x-ray with findings of bilateral pleural effusions, consistent with mild congestive heart failure. her oxygenation improved dramatically with a brisk diuresis on hospital day number one, in response to intravenous lasix. by the time of discharge, the patient was saturating in the mid 90's on room air. 3. gastrointestinal: no active issues. the patient was maintained on prophylaxis during her hospital course. 4. hematology: as mentioned above, it was felt that the patient was at a moderate to severe fall risk given her past medical history and, as such, would not be a good candidate for anticoagulation despite her recent anterior myocardial infarction. her hematocrit remained stable during her hospital course. 5. infectious disease: the patient was afebrile during her hospital course. 6. renal: the patient's electrolytes and renal function remained stable during her hospital course. as mentioned above, she had an excellent diuresis following intravenous lasix. it was felt at the time of discahrge that the patient is nearing and may benefit from long term low dose lasix, only if we can ensure that the patient can compensate by taking in enough p.o., to avoid hypovolemia and possible renal insufficiency. 7. general: it should be noted from this point that the patient has a presumed allergy to phenergan. on hospital day number three, the patient had received phenergan in response to nausea. subsequently, the patient would appear unresponsive with stable vital signs. her electrocardiogram, chest x-ray and electrolytes were all within normal limits. it was felt that phenergan had triggered this reaction. incomplete report -- cut off! , m.d. dictated by: medquist36 d: 04:48 t: 05:16 job#: procedure: combined right and left heart cardiac catheterization coronary arteriography using two catheters injection or infusion of platelet inhibitor other electric countershock of heart transfusion of packed cells insertion of drug-eluting coronary artery stent(s) diagnoses: unspecified acquired hypothyroidism acute myocardial infarction of other anterior wall, initial episode of care cardiac complications, not elsewhere classified atrial fibrillation mitral valve insufficiency and aortic valve insufficiency rheumatic heart failure (congestive) cardiac arrest retention of urine, unspecified late effects of acute poliomyelitis Answer: The patient is high likely exposed to
