(see below). . # hypoxia/respiratory secretions: his initial hypoxia was thought to be due to transient mucus plugging. his hypoxia resolved in the micu with trach care and suctioning however when he was on the floors he was noted to have increasing secretions which appeared benign and related to the patient's inability to manage secretions, however the nursing staff could not meet his suctioning needs so he was transferred back to the micu for more frequent suctioning. in the icu, he had more yellow and thick secretions, so there was concern for possible pneumonia, especially given that he developed a low grade fever and tachycardia, however those have resolved. his chest x-rays have not revealed any clear new consolidation, so it is felt at this time he does not have a pna. patient is not hypoxic. with the addition of tobramycin nebs and sublingual levsin, his secretions decreased. the patient also completed a 4 day course of prednisone (60 mg po x4 days) for possible copd/bronchitis component in the micu. his sputum culture grew pseudomonas (meropenem resistant), but the consensus is that the patient is likely colonized. he has been continued on tobramycin nebs to assist with mucous secretions for pseudomonas colonization (this is often given to patients with cystic fibrosis) with the plan to continue tobramycin nebs for 2 weeks, started on , to complete course on . he requires suctioning to assist in clearing secretions (at least q3hrs) and additionally receives atrovent, fluticasone, and xoponex in place of albuterol (due to tachycardia) to manage copd symptoms. the patient may benefit from scopalamine patches in the future if his secretions worsen and this may be discussed with his family. . #uti: in the micu the patient was started on vanc/zosyn/flagyl for sepsis. however, urine cultures grew pseudomonas and klebsiella and cultures from grew proteus and pseudomonas sensitive to imipenem, and he was colonized with pseudomonus in the lungs, so vanc/zosyn/flagyl were discontinued and he was started on meropenem (for pseudomonas both in the urine and possibly in the bone- osteomyelitis- as pseudomonas grew from the coccyx as well). the patient is being treated for uti and osteomyelitis (klebsiella and pseudomonas), with meropenem for a 6wk course (day 1 = , the last day will be ). . # history of sacral decubitus ulcer complicated by osteomyelitis (mssa+ s/p 6 weeks vancomycin at ). as part of the sepsis work up the patient was found to have pseudomonas sensitive to imipenem in his sacral ulcer so was started on meropenem as above. a sputum culture grew pseudomonas resistant to meropenem, so there was concern that the sacral could have pseudomonas resistant to meropenem as well and a repeat sacral culture was obtained on which did not grow pseudomonas but is growing vre. it is thought this is likely contamination from feces as the clinical exam does not support cellulitis. osteomyelitis by vre could be possible but since the patient has been afebrile with no leukocytosis for the past weeks, we chose not to treat and trend his fever curve and wbc. one can consider adding linezolid to his antibiotics (14 days for cellulitis) or daptomycin (for longer course if suspect osteo) if the patient develops signs of active infection. during the hospital stay a nurse evaluated him and his was managed per the nurse recommendations. plastics was also consulted and recommended continuing the current care, and to maximize nutrition and blood glucose control to assist in healing. the patient completed a 14 day course of vit c and zinc for sacral decub care started on . . # thrombocytopenia: the patient's platelets decreased over the first 2 days of his hospital stay with a nadir on . zosyn was discontinued (changed to meropenem) on and his platlets subsequently increased. hit antibody was negative, so heparin was restarted on . patelets continued to increase. . # cad: per past reports his coronary artery disease is non-revascularizable, and he is allergic to betablockers. he was continued on asa 81 and a statin. . # chf, systolic: the patient was bolused with gental ivf when needed for hypotension in his initial few days of admission. also his ins and outs were monitored and he demonstrated equal fluid balance. he did not demonstrate signs of fluid overload. . # dm: nph was increased to 7 qam and 8 qpm, fsbg under better control, also with riss. . # acute on chronic renal failure: the patient's creatinine varied widely in the past. on presentation his cr was elevated, thought to be due to hypovolemia. his cr came back to baseline at 1.6-1.8 with fluid resuscitation. . # history of atrial fibrillation: the patient is not rate controlled or anticoagulated but he had a normal rhythm during his stay. he occasionally becomes tachycardic with persistent hrs in the 100s but this seems to have resolved with using xopinex instead of albuterol for nebulizers. he tends to get more tachycardic (120a) after suctioning and when he is uncomfortable. his tachycardia is felt less likely to be due to infection as he has been afebrile, and has a normal wbc count, and is on meropenem. he is still somewhat tachy with baseline hr in the 80s-100s . # altered ms - multifactorial in etiology and chronic. contributants include: anoxic brain injury, demylenating disease, known dementia, prior cva,and h/o thought disorder. he is able to follow some commands, and his mental status has improved during the course of his admission. . # agitation: patient had been scratching his upper extremities with multiple excoriations, likely due to agitation. he was given ativan 0.5 mg iv q4h:prn aggitation and was started on hydroxyzine 50 mg po q6h:prn anxiety. he has fewer excoriations, just on l arm now. micu, continue. . # anemia- likely anemia of chronic disease, cont to trend . # fen: tube feeds via peg, recently de-clogged, tube feeds at goal. . # ppx: heparin sq,

diarrhea followed by bloody diarrhea. gi was consulted. bloody diarrhea was thought to be secondary to elevated inr. egd and colonoscopy were deferred. hematocrit remained stable after transfusion. stool studies were sent. 6. hematology - the patient is on coumadin for treatment of dvt. on admission elevated inr was thought to be secondary to inadvertent coumadin overdosing. the patient was taking total of 5 milligrams po bid. his inr was reversed with 6 units of fresh frozen plasma and 10 milligrams of subcutaneous vitamin k. the patient was also transfused 2 units of packed red blood cells for hematocrit of 35 down from baseline of 42. hematology was consulted. ttp was ruled out by normal sphere. 7. neurologic - in patient with elevated inr and change in mental status. there is concern for intracranial bleed. ct scan of the head was negative for hemorrhage. the patient returned to baseline mental status with fluid repletion. 8. infectious disease - there was initial concern for sepsis secondary to patient's hypotension. the patient was initially empirically treated with levaquin, ceftriaxone and vancomycin. the patient remained afebrile and responded well to fluid and blood resuscitation so antibiotics were stopped. currently the patient continues to have diarrhea but it has decreased in frequency. no headache, fever, chills, nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, night sweats. the patient was discharged for further care. past medical history: 1. deep venous thrombosis seven weeks ago. 2. hiv times nine years. most recent cd4 count 9. viral load greater than 100,000. 3. asthma. 4. molluscum. 5. history of nephrolithiasis and chronic hydronephrosis secondary to crixivan. allergies: no known drug allergies. home medications: 1. acyclovir 400 milligrams po tid. 2. bactrim double strength po q day. 3. diflucan 100 milligrams po q day. 4. coumadin 5 milligrams po bid. 5. neurontin 400 milligrams po bid. 6. serevent, flovent and albuterol inhalers. 7. azithromycin 600 milligrams po q week. physical examination: temperature 98.4 f, pulse 106 to 116, blood pressure 123 to 174/ 79 to 106, respirations 17. saturation 95 to 99% on room air. in general the patient is alert, in no acute distress. heent -

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 72-year-old female patient with a long-standing history of peripheral vascular disease referred for an outpatient cardiac catheterization to evaluate cardiomyopathy. the patient was noted to have an abnormal ekg during a routine office visit. follow-up echocardiography revealed dilated cardiomyopathy of unknown etiology with an ejection fraction of 15-20%. she was also noted at that time to have an inferobasilar aneurysm and was started on coumadin. the patient subsequently had a positive dobutamine stress echocardiogram which led to cardiac catheterization. past medical history: 1. hypertension. 2. hypercholesterolemia. 3. former cigarette smoker. 4. the patient has had a totally occluded left internal carotid artery and two small intracerebral aneurysms which were reportedly not amenable to surgery. 5. peripheral vascular disease. 6. prior cerebrovascular accidents with loss of vision in her left eye. past surgical history: 1. status post right carotid endarterectomy in . 2. status post laser eye surgery. 3. status post cesarean section. allergies: the patient has no known drug allergies. medications on admission: 1. lisinopril 10 mg p.o. q.d. 2. trental 400 mg p.o. t.i.d. 3. zocor 20 mg p.o. q.d. 4. coreg 6.25 mg b.i.d. 5. maxzide 75/50, ?????? tablet p.o. q.d. 6. coumadin 4 mg q.d. laboratory data: her laboratory studies upon admission to the hospital were unremarkable. hospital course: the patient underwent cardiac catheterization on which revealed an 80% mid distal left anterior descending coronary artery occlusion and occluded mid left circumflex, subtotally occluded mid right coronary with collaterals, left renal artery with 80% stenosis and diffusely diseased aorta with an 80% stenosed right iliac artery as well. cardiac catheterization also revealed left ventricular ejection fraction of approximately 40%. the patient was taken to the operating room on where she underwent coronary artery bypass grafting x 4 with a left internal mammary artery to the left anterior descending coronary artery, saphenous vein to the diagonal, sequentially to the obtuse marginal and saphenous vein to the posterior descending coronary artery. postoperatively the patient came out of the operating room on milrinone and neo-synephrine iv drip to the cardiac surgery recovery unit, where she was atrially paced via her epicardial wires. neo-synephrine was readily weaned off. the patient remained on a milrinone drip for the next day or so from which she was ultimately weaned. the patient was weaned and extubated from mechanical ventilation on postoperative day one. on postoperative day two she was noted to be in atrial fibrillation for which she received iv lopressor. this caused some bradycardia which required atrial pacing via her epicardial wires. on postoperative day three the patient's chest tubes were removed. the patient remained in the cardiac surgery recovery unit over the next few days due to some hypotension requiring iv neo-synephrine drip. on postoperative day five, , the patient was transferred to the telemetry floor in good condition off the neo-synephrine drip, in normal sinus rhythm, no longer requiring pacing. she was beginning to be diuresed and tolerating that well. the patient subsequently has had more episodes of atrial fibrillation while on the telemetry floor, which were treated with increasing doses of iv lopressor, which she has subsequently tolerated. on postoperative day seven the patient was ultimately begun on iv heparin drip and coumadin was restarted. her atrial pacing wires were removed as she had still had some episodes of atrial fibrillation at that time. the patient remained hemodynamically stable and had been started on her carvedilol p.o. which she was on preoperatively. amiodarone was continued due to the atrial fibrillation postoperatively and she remained in good condition. the patient had some intermittent episodes of hematuria for which the heparin was discontinued. she remained on coumadin. the patient's condition today, on remains as follows: temperature 97, pulse 70, in normal sinus rhythm. she has not had atrial fibrillation for a number of days now. respiratory rate is 18, blood pressure 128/72, room air oxygen saturation 93%. her weight today is 62.1 kg which is essentially the same as her preoperative weight. her most recent laboratory values reveal a white blood cell count of 7.5 thousand, hematocrit 36, platelet count 262,000, sodium 134, potassium 4.4, chloride 96, co2 28, bun 25, creatinine 1.1, glucose 136. her inr today is 1.4. her most recent chest x-ray from shows resolving small bilateral effusions and left lower lobe atelectasis. physical examination shows neurologically the patient is grossly intact with no apparent deficits. pulmonary status shows decreased breath sounds in her left base, otherwise her lungs are clear to auscultation bilaterally. her coronary examination is regular rate and rhythm. her abdomen is benign. her extremities are with trace pedal edema bilaterally. discharge medications: 1. enteric-coated aspirin 81 mg p.o. q.d. 2. colace 100 mg p.o. b.i.d. 3. lasix 20 mg p.o. b.i.d. x 5 days. 4. potassium chloride 20 meq p.o. b.i.d. x 5 days. 5. percocet 5/325 one p.o. q. 4 hours p.r.n. 6. trental 400 mg p.o.

disease. correlation with outside examinations is recommended. head ct: there is a large intraparenchymal hemorrhage on the right parietal lesion and a smaller one on the right frontal region. there is dissection into the right lateral ventricular system. there is substantial displacement of the atrium of the right lateral ventricle and substantial right to left subfalcine herniation. there is effacement of sulci and decreased density of the white matter diffusely consistent with diffuse cerebral edema. the region of the foramen magnum is not well assessed due to motion artifact but some transforaminal herniation is suspected. there is a small amount of blood in the posterior aspect of the left lateral ventricle. there is mild ventricular dilatation with slight prominence of the temporal horns. impression: extensive right-sided parenchymal hemorrhage with diffuse cerebral edema, a subfalcine herniation and probable transforaminal herniation. brief hospital course: pt was severely ill on admission to the icu with a lactic acidosis, respiratory failure, and hepatic failure. she was given bicarbonate iv, broad spectrum antibiotics, 4 units of ffp for dic. she was minimally sedated on propofol gtt but still was not responsive to painful stimuli. because of her lactic acidosis, she had an abdominal ct to eval for bowel ischemia which was negative. she also had a head ct given her unresponsiveness, which demonstrated a large intracerebral hemorrhage with uncal herniation. at this point, a discussion was had with her hcp who stated that pt would not have wanted

of c spine reveals no fracture. chest x-ray after bronch shows right upper lobe and right lower lobe reinflated. tls shows no obvious fractures. brief hospital course: the patient was admitted to the intensive care unit. one of the first interventions was placement of a right subclavian cordis. he also underwent bronchoscopy in which thick mucus plugs were taken out, and a tooth was removed from one of the right lower lobe bronchi. plastic surgery was consulted for the mandible. orthopedics was consulted for the clavicle and transverse process fractures. patient had his right subclavian line removed and a left subclavian cordis placed. on , the patient underwent tracheostomy by dr. . he tolerated the procedure well and the tracheostomy tube was left in throughout his stay. on , the patient underwent open reduction internal fixation of the mandible. this was performed by dr. . the patient tolerated the procedure well. intermandibular fixation was placed during that time. patient remained with stable vital signs throughout his course in the icu. he was postoperatively placed on vancomycin and zosyn. vancomycin was started as the patient had positive mrsa growth from his a-line site and he had positive mrsa in his sputum and on a rectal swab. vancomycin was continued for a total of 14 days while the patient was in the hospital. zosyn was also started postoperatively for the open mandibular fracture. zosyn was left in place for approximately eight days. regarding patient's respiratory status, the trache was left in place throughout his stay. patient was able to suction by himself and had one-way talking valve placed, which he tolerated well. he was educated on suctioning by respiratory care, and it was determined that he would be able to take care of this at home with the help of vna. regarding the patient's mandibular fracture, patient had a fracture which appeared to be healing well. he had a small area of draining wound on the left angle of the jaw, which was thought to be due to a possible small submandibular gland fistula with slight saliva draining. that wound was treated with wet-to-dry dressings b.i.d. and was healing well previous to discharge. there is no indication that the patient had an infection at this spot. patient did receive 1 unit of packed red blood cells while he was in the icu. regarding the patient's right clavicle, patient was seen by orthopedics. a figure-of-eight brace was placed and a sling was used for comfort. physical therapy saw him regarding this and signed off on it. he will be following up with ortho trauma clinic for this. regarding patient's mandibular fracture, the imf was continued and it will be removed at dental school by the oral and maxillofacial fellow after discharge. patient's right chest tube was discontinued without event, and there is no residual pneumothorax. patient was eventually transferred to the floor. he was eventually able to take p.o. pain medication and he was eventually able to take a p.o. diet including boost. he was treated with tube feeds up until that point. controlling his pain was a difficult task. acute pain service was consulted. as the patient had a history of iv drug abuse, he required a large amount of pain medications including fentanyl patch, methadone, and dilaudid, along with clonidine and vioxx. physical therapists were involved throughout his care. patient was ambulating well, tolerating his boost diet, and urinating on his own, and having normal bowel movements prior to discharge. vancomycin was discontinued prior to d/c, and he will not need linezolid as an outpatient. patient remained afebrile with stable vital signs while on the floor. repeat hematocrit showed stable hematocrit in the low 30s. patient remained in-house so he would be able to receive home nursing care, and home nursing care was arranged for tracheostomy care and for dressing changes to his left jaw. discharge instructions: wear the figure-of-eight brace at all

ptx/chest pain: has remained hemodynamically stable since arrival to the hosptial. has a heimlich valve device in place, and is oxygenating well, without new development of ptx. most likely the pt developed a ptx from the bursting of a bleb as a complication of severe copd. the pt was ruled out for an mi with ce. he was weaned down to 2l of o2 nc which is his home o2 requirement. interventional pulmonology removed the heimlich valve without complication. . # lll infiltrate: cxr this hospitalization shows a lll opacity. the pt just completed a two week course of antibiotics prescribed by his pcp for treatment of pneumonia. the pt was afebrile, without a leukocytosis and cough. there was no evidence of infection currently and most likely this radiographic reminence from resolving prior pneumonia. no further antibiotics were given during this hospitalization. . # acute urinary retention: the pt has known bph and is on terazosin at home. he claims that for prior hospitalizations he has required urinary catheterization for obstruction as well. he was having difficulty voiding during this hospitalization. a bladder scan revealed >1l of urine in his bladder. a foley catheter was placed to relieve this obstruction. it was then removed and a repeat voiding trial was obtained which showed him to be retaining 600cc of urine in his bladder. a foley catheter was re-inserted and a follow up appointment was made with urology for removal. we increased his dose of terazosin from 2mg to 5mg daily prior to discharge. . # severe copd on chronic oxygen treatment: patient was quickly weaned back down to home o2 requirements (2-3l 02 nc), without any extra wheezing on exam. we continued his home advair, tiotroprium and nebulizers prn. . # elevated inr: chronic problem noted in this pt seen on labs from where is inr was also noted to be 1.4. pt is not on warfarin currently. his albumin was wnl and there was no active signs of bleeding. . #

cavity size is normal. left ventricular systolic function is hyperdynamic (ef 75%). right ventricular chamber size and free wall motion are normal. the number of aortic valve leaflets cannot be determined. there is no aortic valve stenosis. no aortic regurgitation is seen. the mitral valve leaflets are mildly thickened. there is no mitral valve prolapse. mild (1+) mitral regurgitation is seen. the estimated pulmonary artery systolic pressure is normal. there is no pericardial effusion. there is an anterior space which most likely represents a prominent fat pad. impression: hyperdynamic left ventricle : ekg: atrial fibrillation with moderate ventricular response. borderline criteria for left ventricular hypertrophy with repolarization changes. compared to the previous tracing of criteria for left ventricular hypertrophy are now seen. there are no other significant changes. : mrcp: 1. mild central intrahepatic biliary dilatation with the common bile duct measuring up to 9 mm in maximum diameter and tapering normally towards the head of the pancreas, without evidence for choledocholithiasis. mild enhancement noted of the common bile duct which is non-specific but may represent resolving cholangitis. 2. numerous gallstones are identified within the gallbladder, but without over acute or chronic cholecystitis. 3. diffusely low signal intensity of the pancreas on t1-weighted imaging which can be seen in the setting of pancreatitis. there is no peri-pancreatic stranding or free fluid to suggest acute pancreatitis at this time. relative atrophy of the pancreas in keeping with patient's age with preservation of the parenchyma in the tail. this is somewhat unusual in distribution, however no clear mass lesion is seen in the tail of the pancreas. follow-up mri may be considered in 6 months to assure stability of above. 4. two sub-5-mm cystic lesions noted in the neck and tail of the pancreas as described, with differential diagnosis including either side branch ipmn versus other cystic lesion of the pancreas. these can be monitored for stability at time of mrcp to evaluate the pancreatic parenchyma. brief hospital course: transferred to for ercp after presenting to an hospital with acute cholecystitis and gallstone pancreatitis. the patient met criteria for sirs w/ leukocytosis to 25,000 and febrile to 101 with a presumed biliary source initial labs were pertinent for elevated transaminases, alk phos, total and direct bili as well as an elevated amylase and lipase suggestive of gallstone pancreatitis. imaging showed distended gallbladder with stones present and a significant amount of intrahepatic and extrahepatic biliary dilatation. this clinical picture was consistent with gall stone pancreatitis and cholangitis. on transfer to the intensive care unit, the patient was jaundiced but comfortably lying in bed, afebrile and without pain, with improvement in lfts indicating likely passage of obstructing stone. ercp was initially planned but deferred in the setting of downtrending bilirubin and new onset atrial fibrillation. surgery was consulted to evaluate for cholecystectomy. she was treated with zosyn for gram neg / anaerobe coverage and improved after antibiotics were started and became afebrile. she reportedly converted into atrial fibrillation with rapid ventricular response prior to her admission with no known past history. her blood work showed mild troponin leak and v4-v5 st depressions, thought to be related to demand ischemia. her ekg on admission showed resolution of st changes with a flat cmbk. troponins were trended and were downtrending and the ckmb remained flat. pt was without chest pain or evidence of acute coronary syndrome. she was started on a diltiazem drip at the outside hospital which was subsequently discontinued with rate controlled. cardiology was consulted and recommended an echo which a hyperdynamic left ventricle and an ejection fraction of 75%. she was subsequently started on a heparin drip. on hd #5 she was taken to the operating room for a laparoscopic cholecsytectomy. her operative course was stable. she was extubated after the procedure and monitored in the recovery room. her post-operative course has been stable. her vital signs have been stable and she has been afebrile. she has been tolerating a regular diet. her white blood cell count has normalized. she has resumed her home medications and was started on coumadin with a lovenox bridge. her current inr is 1.0. she is preparing for discharge home with vna services and

course: after exam and review of imaging in the trauma bay, the following injuries were identified: grade iii splenic laceration with possible distal pancreatic injury left renal laceration left rib fractures the fast exam was positive in the ed and he was hemodynamically unstable. he was taken emergently to the operating room where he had an exploratory laparotomy, distal pancreatectomy and splenectomy. post-operatively, he was sent to the trauma icu, intubated. his hospital course as follows by systems: neuro: initially intubated and sedated. when extubated his pain was controlled on a dilaudid pca then percocet when tolerating pos. his home citalopram was restarted. he was supplemented with a folic acid and thiamine and put on a ciwa scale as a precaution against alcohol withdrawal. he did not score on the ciwa scale (did not show signs of withdrawal and did not require any ativan while in the icu). at time of discharge he was awake, alert and oriented x3 and showing no signs of withdrawal. he did have issues with pain control requiring frequent adjustments to his pain med regimen. eventually his pain was well controlled on oral dilaudid and prn toradol. cv: he was tachycardic in the icu and remained as such in the low 100s-110s upon transfer to the floor. he was not believed to be in withdrawal and pain and anxiety were accounted for. it was attributed to a post trauma/post operative inflammatory response and it gradually normalized. at time of discharge he was in normal sinus rhythm. resp: he was extubated in the late afternoon of pod 0 without complication. he was noted with desaturation episode on and pulmonary was consulted given that his history was compatible with obstructive sleep apnea. he was started on cpap and improved - there were no further episodes of desaturation for the remainder of his stay. gi: his ngt was removed and his diet was advanced to clears on pod 1. he tolerated this well. his jp drains were left in place with serosanguinous drainage initially and then changing to a more malodorous purulent drainage. he did experience intermittent nausea with diminished appetite on occasion; this did eventually improve and at time of discharge he was tolerating a regular diet. he continued to progress slowly in terms of his diet advancement. he was noted with some abdominal distention on hd#9 (pod #) and was given a dose of methylnaltrexone 12 mg given his frequent narcotics requirement. later during the evening he was noted with a bowel movement and decreased abdominal distention and discomfort. gu: his foley catheter was removed on pod 1. id: his wbc was intermittently elevated and he was treated with antibiotics over the course of his stay. heme: sqh prophylaxis was resumed on pod 0. his hcts were

consciousness: alert and interactive. activity status: ambulatory - independent. discharge instructions: you were admitted to the hopital after a motorcycle crash where you sustained multiple rib fractures, spleen and pancreatic injuries requiring that your spleen and a portion of your pancreas be removed. during your operation 2 special collection devices called jp drains were left in place. these collection devices will allow adequate draiange of the excess debris from your spleen and pancreas injuries. you should expect that these will stay in place until there is no longer any drainage. it is very important that you measure and record each day the amount & consistency of the fluid that collects from the jp drains. keep a record/log of these amounts and be sure to bring this iformation with you to follow up appointment in the acute care surgery clinic in the next few weeks. * you have rib fractures which can cause severe pain and subsequently cause you to take shallow breaths because of the pain. * you should take your pain medication as directed to stay ahead of the pain otherwise you won't be able to take deep breaths. if the pain medication is too sedating take half the dose and notify your physician. * pneumonia is a complication of rib fractures. in order to decrease your risk you must use your incentive spirometer 4 times every hour while awake. this will help expand the small airways in your lungs and assist in coughing up secretions that pool in the lungs. * you will be more comfortable if you use a cough pillow to hold against your chest and guard your rib cage while coughing and deep breathing. * symptomatic relief with ice packs or heating pads for short periods may ease the pain. * narcotic pain medication can cause constipation therefore you should take a stool softener twice daily and increase your fluid and fiber intake if possible. * do not smoke * if your doctor allows, non steroidal antiinflammatory drugs are very effective in controlling pain ( ie, ibuprofen, motrin, advil, aleve, naprosyn) but they have their own set of side effects so make sure your doctor approves. * return to the emergency room right away for any acute shortness of breath, increased pain or crackling sensation around your ribs ( crepitus ). you are being discharged on medications to treat the pain from your operation. these medications will make you drowsy and impair your ability to drive a motor vehicle or operate machinery safely. you must refrain from such activities while taking these medications. please call your doctor or return to the emergency room if you have any of the following: * you experience new chest pain, pressure, squeezing or tightness. * new or worsening cough or wheezing. * if you are vomiting and cannot keep in fluids or your medications. * you are getting dehydrated due to continued vomiting, diarrhea or other reasons. signs of dehydration include dry mouth, rapid heartbeat or feeling dizzy or faint when standing. * you see blood or dark/black material when you vomit or have a bowel movement. * you have shaking chills, or a fever greater than 101.5 (f) degrees or 38(c) degrees. * any serious change in your symptoms, or any new symptoms that concern you. * please resume all regular home medications and take any new meds as ordered. activity: no heavy lifting of items pounds for 6 weeks. you may resume moderate exercise at your discretion, no abdominal exercises. wound care: you may shower, no tub baths or swimming. if there is clear drainage from your incisions, cover with clean, dry gauze.

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: worsening gait over last 3 weeks major surgical or invasive procedure: right vp shunt placement history of present illness: the pt is a 47 year-old right handed woman with a past medical history significant for htn, hld, dmii who presents with 3 weeks of worsening gait after a fall. the patient was in her usual state of health 3 weeks ago when she slipped on a wet surface at her job, falling backwards and striking the back of her head on the floor. the patient was in her usual state of health until , when she was at work as a housekeeper in a hotel. she was cleaning a bathroom when she fell backwards on a wet area in the bathroom and struck the back of her head. she did not loose consciousness and had a mild headache briefly afterwards but fell like she had some difficulty getting up, and was slightly unsteady walking afterwards. her family came to pick her up from work and they felt she seemed a little out of it, and someone needed to stay nearby to help her walk. at this point she was able to walk on her own power she just needed someone to help steady her. she went to a local ed the next day with complaints mostly of knee and ankle pain. her head was not scanned, and she reportedly had xrays of her ankles which was normal by report. she was discharged home. over the next three weeks she has had increasing difficulty with her walking. she has a difficult time describing the problem. she feels very unsteady as if she is going to fall when she walks or stands up. her daughter noted that she was paying a lot of attention to her walk, and was very hesitant, looking down. she has has at least 2 more falls over the last few weeks, and a few near misses. she does not think any of the other falls had head strikes or any other major injuries. when she falls she does not fall to any particular direction. her daughter has also noted that she has been cognitively slower in the last few weeks than prior to the fall. she takes longer to process and respond to questions. she has also had episodes of confusion - one example is that she has intermittently forgotten one of her names. she eventually remembered it, but this is very unusual for her. the daughter also notes that she has had some difficulty going up and down stairs, but is not clear if this is do to weakness or the patient's unsteadiness. the patient herself denies any weakness in her legs or her arms. she denies any headache or neck pain. she denies any urinary incontinence or retention. she has had no change in stool (she was initially constipated after taking a vicodin for her leg pain soon after her fall, but this has since resolved. she denies any numbness. she has normal saddle sensation. she denies lightheadedness or vertigo. she reports moderate pain in both knees, but no current back pain. she has had no visual symptoms. on neuro ros, the pt denies headache, loss of vision, blurred vision, diplopia, dysarthria, dysphagia, lightheadedness, vertigo, tinnitus or hearing difficulty. denies difficulties producing or comprehending speech. denies numbness, parasthesiae. no bowel or bladder incontinence or retention. on general review of systems, the pt denies recent fever or chills. no night sweats or recent weight loss or gain. denies cough, shortness of breath. denies chest pain or tightness, palpitations. denies nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, constipation or abdominal pain. no recent change in bowel or bladder habits. no dysuria. denies arthralgias or myalgias. denies rash. past medical history: -

against medical advice. please see the section "disposition" for the relevant details. the hospital course up to this point is summarized first: a/p: 51 yof w/ h/o copd, seizure disorder recent admit w/ ards presents w/ leukocytosis, hypoxia, and episodes concerning for seizure. intubated with ards of unclear etiology, failed extubation x2 ( and ) with hypoxic resp failure of unclear etiology. * 1) hypoxic/hypercarbic respiratory failure and ards: unclear cause. all cultures were negative, including blood, sputum, bal, csf, urine, c dif, flu, legionella. intubated in ed with abg of 7.26/76/139. on nebs, flovent. pt was covered for 1 week with meropenum, azithro, vanco until (pt has h/o klebsiella/serretia vap and esbl klebs bacteremia). second attempt at extubation was attempted , and the patient did well initially, but then acutely desaturated and was reintubated. aspiration vs. flash pulm edema were considered as factors complicating extubation. . pt was beta-blocked and a swan-ganz catheter was in place before the third extubation attempt on in order to diagnose and manage acute manifestations of heart failure upon extubation. bal microbiology but not pathology showed cytopathic changes but viral and bacterial cultures as well as cmv immunology were negative. . 2) seizure: pt has a h/o seizure disorder, the precipitant of which may be proximate to inadequate treatment on a single (dilantin) in the setting of fever and hypoxia. head ct and urine tox were neg. an eeg showed diffuse encephalopathy without status epilepticus. additional history obtained from outpt neurologist dr. showed that the pt presented to regional with generalized tonic-clonic seizure on with dilantin level of 22, started on zonegran because she failed a single , and was discharged on hd#2 with normal mental status. at the , she required successive reloading of dilantin -20, before the patient left against medical advice. despite leaving against medical advise before a therapeutic serum level of dilantin could be achieved, the patient was nevertheless scheduled with her primary care physician for dilantin dose adjustment. she was also scheduled in seizure clinic at the for follow-up of her seizure disorder. zonegran was increased to 300mg qd (on ) after 2 weeks of 200mg. * 3) leukocytosis and fever: pulmonary source was initially suspected (ddx: hap, aspiration pneumonia/pneumonitis) given the patient's hypoxia and bilateral infiltrates. u/a negative, bcx ngtd, csf neg, bal and sputum neg. c dif neg x 4. empiric oral vanco d/c'd . covered w/ meropenem/azithro empirically to cover hap/aspiration pneumonia x 1 week until . spiked on to 101 and re-cultured without any growth in culture. * 4) sepsis/hypotension/adrenal insufficiency: pt was initially on levophed, weaned off after fluid resusitation. minor troponin leak to 0.05. ef by echo 60% with 1+mr. pt was on steroids for ards during last recent admission, and was started on hydrocortixone for a positive cortisol stim test, which showed adrenal insufficiency with a maximal cortisol of 16-17. her hypotension did resolve with stress-dose steroids in a few days. she has been on a prednisone taper, receiving 7.5 mg on , and due to receive 5 mg on . because of the adrenal insufficiency documented by absolute value as well as a relative value, the patient was scheduled for follow-up in endocrinology clinic within 1 month from discharge. she was discharged on prednisone 10mg until this appointment. * 5) pulm edema: ef 60%. pt with pulm edema on after extubation resulting in reintubation. have been due to post-negative pressure pulm edema or flashing due to possible diastolic dysfunction. diuresed but again showed signs of chf after fluid resusitation. swan placed with mixed picture before diuresis. decreased svr and high ci supported a septic physiology, but a high cvp supportive of chf. pt developed upper and lower extremity edema that started to resolve with gradual diruesis. she has been euvolemic on exam for over 4 days preceding discharge. * 5) anemia of chronic disease: the paient's baseline 26-28 from prior admission. vit b12 and folate wnl. transfused 2 units but otherwise has not required any blood products. hct remained stable and >28 without additional transfusions. . 6) thrombocytopenia: hit negative, lfts unchanged. platelets improved with improvement of acute illness. * 7) borderline type ii dm: hba1c = 6.0. pt was temporarily on an insulin drip while on tpn and hydrocortisone, transitioned to insulin glargine with sliding scale, but since the patient had poor oral intake, she had glargine held x 5 days and did not require dosing in the hospital. the patient was instructed to hold any additional insulin and covered with riss until 1 day prior to admission when the patient's glood sugar. she began taking better oral intake before discharge. * 8) nsvt: documented on evening of . multiple 3-4 beat runs over a minute with sinus beats in between. likely due to concurrent medical illness, resolveing the etiology was not clear. electrolytes were normal. pt was asymptomatic without further events. * 9) diastolic dysfunction: ef 60% with 1+ mr, mild-mod pulmonary artery htn. bb has been controlling her rate well. * 10)hepatitis c: mild transaminitis, not significantly changed from prior admission * 11)depression: will restart prozac . 12)f/e/n: tube feeds by nasogastric tube started . -once the ng tube was removed, the pt was noted to have a (+) gag reflex and was advanced to nectar thickened diet until video swallowing study could confirm that she could safely swallow. the patient was seen on the video study to have aspiration with thin liquids. she nevertheless refused to maintain a diet

Medical Report: allergies: patient recorded as having no known allergies to drugs attending: chief complaint: ich major surgical or invasive procedure: none history of present illness: 69 year-old man from with a history of atrial fibrillation on warfarin and hypertension presents as a transfer from for further management of a non-traumatic right basal ganglionic hemorrhage. the patient was in his usual state of health until this evening, when he was sitting at a dinner party and noted his left hand to be "falling asleep." all of the sudden, his left face felt "like novocaine" and his left foot was "useless." his left face was drooped and his speech was slurred, according to family who had observed the event. he seemed to be leaning to the left. 911 was called. the patient states that he had difficulty moving or feeling his left side by the time ems arrived. he was brought to . on arrival to , his blood pressure was noted to be 204/110. he was noted to be moderately dysarthric, with left facial weakness. he had a "moderate" left hemiparesis. reflexes were apparently "normal" and no sensory deficit was described. he was noted to have abnormal finger to nose testing, though laterality

mildly thickened. there is no aortic valve stenosis. mild (1+) aortic regurgitation is seen. the mitral valve leaflets are mildly thickened. mild (1+) mitral regurgitation is seen. the tricuspid valve leaflets are mildly thickened. there is moderate pulmonary artery systolic hypertension. renal us: the right kidney is small, measuring 8.4 cm. the left kidney is small, measuring 9.5 cm. cortical thickness and echogenicity are within normal limits. there is no hydronephrosis, nephrolithiasis, or evidence of solid renal mass. brief hospital course: mr. was admitted to the cardiac surgical service and underwent routine preoperative evaluation. repeat echocardiogram showed an lvef of 30-35% with moderate-severe regional left ventricular systolic dysfunction. there was mild mitral regurgitation and mild aortic insufficiency. it also was notable for mild tricuspid regurgitation with moderate pa systolic hypertension. dental consultation revealed very poor dentition which eventually required teeth extraction prior to surgical intervention. given renal insufficiency and rise in creatinine(peak 1.5), the renal service was consulted. his slight decline in renal function was attributed to aggressive diuresis and it was recommended to discontinue the ace inhibitor prior to surgery. the heart failure service was consulted to assist in the management of his ischemic cardiomyopathy. mr. otherwise remained stable on medical therapy. he was eventually cleared for surgery after his liver and renal function tests improved. on , dr. performed coronary artery bypass grafting and a mitral valve repair. for surgical details, please see seperate dictated operative note. following the operation, he was brought to the csru for invasive monitoring. within 24 hours, he awoke neurologically intact and was extubated without incident. he weaned from inotropic support without difficulty. he maintained stable hemodynamics and transferred to the sdu on postoperative day

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 77-year-old from manor, who was found down on intubated in the field for low respiratory rate and admitted to the micu initially. the patient was subsequently transferred to the ccu as he ruled in for a mi. also found to have pneumonia, uti, and hypernatremia with a sodium to 152. the patient was monitored overnight in the ccu. medical management was provided for cardiac symptoms. patient was started on heparin and subsequently extubated on and transferred to the floor. at baseline, the patient is wheelchair bound. reported gradual functional decline over the past week. patient was losing the ability to feed himself, less communicative, and increased confusion. found down in the bathroom at the nursing home. at transfer, moving his eyes from side to side and then deviated down to the right. the patient was placed in a c collar by ems and was subsequently intubated. no medications were required for intubation. head ct on presentation showed no acute process and chronic right cva with evidence of acute sinusitis. again, the patient ruled in for mi and evidence of st depressions laterally. this was discussed with the cardiology fellow on call, who deferred acute intervention. family did not want any major interventions. again, admitted to the micu, and a.m. ck-mb, ck, and troponins trended up. the patient was started on heparin drip x48 hours and continued the drip on the floor. on , the patient had an acute episode of desaturation of 90 percent. abg was 7.29, 64, 142. patient was initially started on vancomycin for possible mrsa pneumonia since coming from a nursing home. the patient's antibiotics were switched. she was initially started on levofloxacin, which was switched to ceftriaxone. patient remained hemodynamically stable at this time. on , the micu team was called to evaluate the patient on the floor for change in mental status and failure to protect airway. patient was found unresponsive, labored breathing, but vital signs were stable. an abg at this time was 7.32, 63, and 98. blood sugar was 441 at this time. patient was given 15 units of insulin. ekg showed no acute changes. heparin was initially stopped. patient was sent for a head ct with concern for acute bleed and subsequently transferred to the micu. past medical history: old right frontal cva with left residual hemiparesis. alcohol abuse. dementia. constipation. diabetes. multiple abdominal surgeries secondary to shrapnel. allergies: no known drug allergies. medications on admission: 1. protonix. 2. glipizide. 3. aspirin. social history: nursing home resident at manor. heavy history of alcohol in the past. at baseline, was wheelchair bound. family history: noncontributory. physical examination on admission to the micu: vital signs: temperature 99.0, blood pressure 140/44, heart rate 67, breathing 24, and 100 percent on 100 percent nonrebreather. patient was lethargic, lying in bed, no purposeful movements. heent: pupils are equal, round, and reactive to light. positive horizontal nystagmus. unable to assess extraocular movements. mucous membranes were dry. patient was edentulous. neck was soft, supple, no lymphadenopathy. cardiovascular: regular rate, s1, s2, 2/6 systolic murmur at apex. lungs with coarse breath sounds worse on the right. abdomen with minimal surgical scars, soft, nontender, nondistended, normal bowel sounds. extremities: warm, distal pulses intact. neurologically: arousable to deep sternal rub. patient is able to wiggle toes, open and close eyes, no hand movements. babinski is upgoing on the left toe. skin showed evidence of deep sacral decube without purulent drainage. labs on transfer to the micu: white count is 17.9 up from 10.2, hematocrit is 35.4, platelets 241. chemistries notable for sodium of 137, bun of 29, creatinine of 0.9 with baseline of 0.2 to 0.7, glucose noted at 472. urinalysis at that time showed no evidence of bacteria or red cells, however, urine culture from showed greater than 100,000 colonies of e. coli. chest x-ray on shows new right lower lobe infiltrate, no evidence of chf. hospital course by problem: respiratory failure: due to poor mental status, patient was intubated upon arrival to the micu. this was for hypercarbic and hypoxic respiratory failure. change in mental status was thought to be due to infection, dehydration, hyperglycemia. after intubation, the patient's oxygenation remained stable. patient was treated for his pneumonia, which was thought to be secondary to aspiration with zosyn and vancomycin. antibiotic coverage was broaden to include pseudomonas. legionella antigen was checked, which was negative. azithromycin was added for a five day course. the patient was kept on aspiration precautions. after complete treatment with antibiotics, attempts were made to wean patient from the vent, however, this was unsuccessful. patient demonstrated minimal effort. nifs were checked, which were minus 23. patient demonstrated poor central drive. the patient was ultimately bronched without evidence of obstruction or large secretions. there is some evidence of pleural effusion. this was assessed by interventional pulmonary team, however, on two attempts to perform thoracentesis, there is no fluid to take. patient was given lasix for gentle diuresis and thought to decrease pleural effusions, however, there is no significant change. in addition, the patient's mental status contributed to difficulty to wean from the vent. the patient remained arousable, but still with difficulty protecting airway. ultimately, family discussion was held regarding withdraw of care. aggressive measures were made to wean patient from the vent. after multiple attempts with aggressive diuresis as well as optimizing other factors such as nutrition, electrolytes and mechanics, the patient remained ventilator dependent. these facts were closely communicated to the family during the hospital course. after discussing amongst themselves what the patient would want in this situation, the family requested that aggressive treatments be discontinued. on the evening of mechanical ventilation was discontinued at the families request. the patient was extubated, and subsequently expired at 1 a.m. the following morning. uti: the patient was treated with full course of antibiotics for pansensitive e. coli. hypernatremia: patient's sodium was initially found to be 152. on presentation, it was 137. there was some concern for hypovolemia, which also may be contributed to poor mental status. patient was initially given iv fluid. this was initially thought to be cause of poor mental status, however, the patient maintained normal sodium throughout hospital course. neurologic: initially on transfer to the micu, no acute bleed by ct, however, there was evidence of evolving infarct. neurology was consulted. patient was subsequently started on heparin, blood pressures, maps were maintained greater than 80. no further remaining was performed. patient's mental status did not improve. patient was subsequently started on dilantin for possible thought of seizure, however, this did not improve. this failed to improve mental status as well. on the morning of , patient's family requested withdraw of care, and within three hours patient expired. final diagnoses: old right frontal cerebrovascular accident with residual left hemiparesis. new right frontal cerebrovascular accident. change in mental status. hypernatremia. hyperglycemia. dementia. alcohol abuse. diabetes. history of multiple abdominal surgeries. hypercarbic and hypoxic respiratory failure. urinary tract infection secondary to escherichia coli. pneumonia (aspiration). acute

mild positive ulnar variance. ercp report cannulation of the biliary duct was successful and deep with a sphincterotome using a free-hand technique. contrast medium was injected resulting in complete opacification. two regular stones ranging in size from 4mm to 6mm were seen at the biliary tree. a sphincterotomy was performed in the 12 o'clock position using a sphincterotome over an existing guidewire. the stones were extracted successfully using a balloon. otherwise normal ercp to third part of the duodenum egd the biliary sphincterotomy was identified and appeared normal. no bleeding was noted. no ulceration or erythema was noted. the sphincterotomy was observed for about 5 minutes - no bleeding was noted. impression: polyp in the stomach body erythema and friability in the antrum no fresh or old blood was found in the stomach or duodenum. the biliary sphincterotomy was identified and appeared normal. no bleeding was noted. no ulceration or erythema was noted. the sphincterotomy was observed for about 5 minutes - no bleeding was noted. otherwise normal ercp to third part of the duodenum recommendations: no source for melena was found. give vit k and ffps to keep inr < 1.5. colonoscopy large amount of stool was found in the whole colon. about 33% - 50% of the colonic mucosa was obscured by stool. protruding lesions a single sessile 10 mm polyp of benign appearance was found in the cecum. this involved the appendiceal orifice. given patient's co-morbidities and poor bowel prep this was not removed. impression: polyp in the cecum - this was not removed. poor bowel preparation otherwise normal colonoscopy to cecum transesophageal echo mild spontaneous echo contrast is seen in the left atrial appendage. no thrombus is seen in the left atrial appendage. no atrial septal defect is seen by 2d or color doppler. there are simple atheroma in the aortic arch. there are simple atheroma in the descending thoracic aorta. the aortic valve leaflets are thickened/deformed. no masses or vegetations are seen on the aortic valve. no aortic valve abscess is seen. significant aortic stenosis is present (not quantified). trace aortic regurgitation is seen. the mitral valve leaflets are mildly thickened. no mass or vegetation is seen on the mitral valve. mild (1+) mitral regurgitation is seen. no vegetation/mass is seen on the pulmonic valve. there

stenosis present (not quantified). mri c - t - l spine impression: 1. markedly limited examination with no obvious findings to suggest vertebral body/disk/epidural infection. 2. interval increase in size of extramedullary intradural soft tissue mass at the c7-t1 interspace, resulting in rightward cord deviations/mass effect. the lesion is most likely a meningioma. if alteration in care will occur, can consider repeat dedicated target imaging through this region once patient is able to tolerate exam. 3. mild anterior wedge compression deformity involving t5 which appears new from exam but not acute. additional multilevel cervical and lumbar spondylosis is not significantly changed. ct abd/pelvis: impression: 1. normal appearance to the spleen. 2. air and contrast in the gallbladder and left biliary system related to prior sphincterectomy and ercp. no pericholecystic fluid or inflammatory changes to suggest cholecystitis. 3. focal stranding of the right pannicular fat may represent asymetric edema or panniculitis . 4. moderate bilateral pleural effusions with bibasilar atelectatic changes. ct head w/o contrast: study severely limited by motion artifact. a contrast-enhanced mri, or contrast-enhanced ct if the patient cannot tolerate mri, would be more sensitive for an abscess. cxr: the et tube tip is 5 cm above the carina. tube tip is in the mid low esophagus and should be advanced 10-15 cm. the cardiac silhouette is enlarged, unchanged since the prior study. the bibasal atelectasis is present but there is no evidence of overt failure. the left internal jugular line tip is at the junction of the brachiocephalic vein and svc. the left basal opacity most likely represents area of atelectasis and is unchanged since the prior study. brief hospital course: 88 year-old woman with history of morbid obesity, htn, atrial fibrillation on warfarin, and diastolic heart failure who presented with gallstone pancreatitis and a right wrist fracture. she underwent ercp and sphincterotomy which was complicated by hypoxia and hypotesnion. she was transferred to and remained there for less than 24 hours and was called out to medical floor on . her post-procedure course was complicated by multiple episodes of melena with progressive anemia. her course was further complicated by: nstemi, mrsa and coag negative staph bacteremia and septicemia and acute renal failure. hospital course by problem is as follows. # fevers/bacteremia: pt was febrile on to 100.9 and bcx were positive for mrsa. repeat u/a was negative for uti. cipro was discontinued and vancomycin was started at 1500mg q24h. pt had mild temp (100-101) on . picc line was pulled, and central line was placed. bcx prelim on & show gram (+) cocci, coag negative. on , pt had tm 100.2. concern for subacute endocarditis (staph viridans vs staph epidermidis), but tee negative for endocarditis. on , pt complained of back pain. mri of spine did not reveal epidural abscess/osteo/diskitis. ct abd only shows panniculitis of the right pannicular fat. ct scan of head was negative. from to , pt became intermittently hypotensive. empiric treatment with zosyn was started. she received 3l ivf from , and 500cc on 7/14am. pt bp responded initially, but now 90s/60s. lactate level increased to 4.0 on (venous blood). pt was transferred to , upon arrival the patient's condition appeared to be stable but she quickly decompensated. she was bolused 4l ns w/ little response, a cvl was introduced for monitoring and she was started on pressors. she was intubated shortly after. she continued to decompensate and a decision to make her dnr was taken by the family. the patient became progressively bradycardic and died of cardiorespiratory failure at 8:25 pm. most likely cause of death was felt to be overwhelming sepsis causing severe acidosis. # gallstone pancreatitis: she presented with abdominal pain, low-grade fevers, and an elevated lipase in the setting of choledolithiasis. she underwent ercp with sphincterotomy and removal of two stones. her lipase trended down afterward. she was evaluated by surgery who felt that she was not currently a candidate for cholecystectomy given her co-morbidities but recommended she follow-up as an outpatient. as noted above, she had multiple episodes of melena post procedure. on , however patient lfts increased. concern for toxic shock liver versus recurrence of biliary obstruction. # acute renal failure: on , pt's creatinine increased from 1.0 to 2.1. this was initially attributed to hypovolemia. however, despite fluid resuscitation, creatinine continued to increase to 3.9 on . # progressive anemia with melena: she had three episodes of melena after ercp with a four point hematocrit drop, but her hematocrit later stabilized at 25-26 g/dl without transfusion. she was thought to have bleeding from her sphincterotomy but no active bleeding was visualized on egd, and the only pathological findings were a beefy antrum and a gastric polyp with a non-bleeding ulcer. vitamin k was administered to correct her coagulopathy (inr 2) and her melena resolved, with brown stools that were still guaiac positive as of . coumadin was stopped despite the high risk of stroke because of the gi bleeding. # meningioma: mri revealed increase in mass, likely a meningioma, in her her t-spine. neurosurgery consulted. they had no recommendations at this time beyond outpatient follow-up when patient is medically stable. # atrial fibrillation: she was on warfarin at home but this was held at the time of admission because of the need for a procedure (ercp). she will be discharged without warfarin because of her high risk of bleeding, despite her high chads score, and this was discussed with her family and her home nurse. wafarin can be restarted as an outpatient after her hematocrit stabilizes. # right wrist fracture: she fell at home and suffered a non-displaced distal radius fracture. she was seen by ortho in the ed and a splint was placed. on , pt's fingers of r hand became more swollen. ortho repeated xr, which revealed no change from previous image. on , pt removed splint on own. complains of worsening wrist pain. ortho consulted. repeat films show fx healing. ot consult on for short open splint for wrist, and rom as tolerated. ot was consulted, and a custom short splint was placed. needs follow up in ortho clinic in 3wk with dr.

inserted due to ongoing angina and marginal hemodynamics. he was taken to the operating room with dr. on for a cabgx5. his ejection fraction in the operating room was 20%. postoperatively he was hemodynamically unstable for several days, requiring inotropes and iabp. on he was taken to the cardiac catheterization lab due to marginal hemodynamics which showed that all of his bypass grafts were patent. he also had moderate hypoxia and an interventional pulmonary consult was obtained. it was recommended that the patient receive bronchodilators. his hypoxia gradually resolved and his ventilator was weaned. he was started on an ace inhibitor in an attempt to wean his inotropes, but it was discontinued due to an elevated creatinine. by pod#9 his inotropes were weaned and the patient was able to diurese. he was extubated from mechanical ventilation on pod#11, but required intermittent bipap and was re intubated on pod#14 due to hypoxia and work of breathing. the patient underwent ct scan to evaluate for pulmonary emboli which showed 2 small pulmonary emboli which were thought to be clinically insignificant, but it was recommended that he be anticoagulated. he had bilateral lower extremity venous dopplers preformed which were negative for evidence of dvt. on pod#19 he self extubated and after several hours was re intubated for hypoxia and work of breathing. on pod#19 he underwent bedside tracheostomy and peg placement. he continued to wean on the ventilator. on pod#21 he underwent a transthoracic echocardiogram which showed his ejection fraction had improved to 30% with no significant valvular abnormalities. on consult was obtained due to the patients continued elevated blood sugar. it was recommended that the patient be started on lantus insulin which was started without difficulty. medications on admission: aspirin discharge medications: 1. oxycodone-acetaminophen 5-325 mg tablet sig: 1-2 tablets po q4h (every 4 hours) as needed for pain. 2.

extending off the upper pole. this has clear walls and no solid elements. the renal parenchyma is well preserved throughout. there is no hydronephrosis. the left kidney shows moderate hydronephrosis. the renal parenchyma is reasonably preserved suggesting some renal function is still present. no stones are seen. arterial doppler was performed on both kidneys. it was estimated at between 0.66 and 0.59 on the left and 0.66 and 0.67 on the right. by history, the appearances of the kidneys are unchanged since the prior ultrasound. impression: hydronephrosis left kidney with good preservation of renal parenchyma, normal right kidney with upper pole cyst. portable ap chest: heart size is borderline. the aorta is tortuous. lungs are clear. the pulmonary vasculature is not engorged. there is no evidence of pneumothorax or pleural effusion. impression: no evidence of acute cardiopulmonary process. ptca comments: initial angiography revealed a 100% proximally occluded lad that appeared acute with very faint collaterals to the septal perforators from the rca. we planned to emergently ptca and stent the lad. heparin and integrilin were used for iv anticoagulation. a 6f xblad3.5 guiding catheter provided good support. the proximal lad occlusion was crossed easily with a choice pt xs wire and immediate partial reperfusion was restored. the lesion was predilated with a 2.0x20 mm voyager balloon at 8 atm with timi 2 flow restored. a 3.5x23 mm cypher stent was deployed across the lesion at 16 atm and then postdilated with a 4.0x13 mm powersail balloon at 20 atm. ic nitroglycerin and adenosine were given and normal flow in the lad was restored. a small 1mm diagonal branch was jailed and partially occluded by the stent and could not be rescued. final angiography revealed 0% residual stenosis, no dissection, and timi 3 flow. cardiac catheterization: 1). successful emergency ptca and stenting was performed of the proximal lad occlusion with a 3.5x23 mm cypher stent which was postdilated to 4.0 mm. final angiography revealed 0% residual stenosis, no dissection, and timi 3 flow. (see ptca comments) final diagnosis: 1. one vessel coronary artery disease. 2. acute anterior myocardial infarction, managed by acute ptca. ptca of proximal lad vessel. 3. successful ptca and stenting of the proximal lad with a drug eluting stent. echocardiogram/tte: left atrium - long axis dimension: 4.0 cm (nl <= 4.0 cm) left atrium - four chamber length: 5.2 cm (nl <= 5.2 cm) right atrium - four

cavity size is normal. overall left ventricular systolic function is moderately depressed. mid and distal anterior and apical akinesis and distal septal hypokinesis are present. 3. the aortic root is mildly dilated. 4. the aortic valve leaflets (3) are mildly thickened. trace aortic regurgitation is seen. 5. the mitral valve leaflets are mildly thickened. trivial mitral regurgitation is seen. ekg: 1. sinus rhythm 2. borderline first degree a-v delay 3. anterior myocardial infarction with st-t wave configuration consistent with acute process 4. no previous tracing available for comparison ekg: 1. sinus rhythm 2. borderline first degree a-v delay 3. probable left atrial abnormality 4. anterior myocardial infarction with st-t wave configuration acute/recent/in evolution process 5. since previous tracing of , no significant change brief hospital course: 58-year old white male was immediately taken to cardiac catheterization with intervention in the lad, as noted above, transferred to ccu for post-procedure stabilization, and transferred to cardiology floor. discharged in stable condition. 1. cv: upon admission to , ekg showed acute st-elevations in the anterior leads, initial troponins were negative. due to high suspicion of stemi, patient was initiated on a heparin and integrillin drips and the patient was emergently taken to the cath , where a 100% occlusion was found in the lad and successfully stented, please see note above. an echocardiogram showed depressed systolic function with mid and distal anterior and apical akinesis and distal septal hypokinesis. in the ccu, patient remained in stable condition, with sbps maintained between 120 and 140 and hr in 70s/80s. on hospital day #2, patient was transferred to the floor where he recovered well with stable hemodynamics. from a medication standpoint, patient was treated with 80mg of a statin, aspirin 325mg, metoprol 25mg quid, plavix (post-cath) 150qd, and captopril, initally at 6.25 tid with uptitration to 12.5 tid. on day of discharge, patient's medication regimen continued with the high dose statin, aspirin, toprolxl 100qd, lisinopril 5mg qd. 2. heme: given risk for thrombus formation secondary to wall akinesis, anticoagulation was continued with an inr goal of 1.6 to 2.0. on hospital day 2, pt was begun on a coumadin bridge. due to a small drop in hematocrit to 30, pt's anticoagulation with held with a subsequent rise to 33 with stabilization by the time of discharge. patient's coumadin was re-initiated at 4mg qhs, with a discharge inr of 1.3 patient was given one dose of 80units sc lovenox prior to his discharge and given a prescription for 80 units sc lovenox until early next week after follow inr checks, which will be addressed by patient's pcp. was also prescribed coumadin at 4mg qhs to be taken daily with the lovenox. on the day of discharge, patient had guiac (+), non-melanotic or grossly bloody stool. patient was also advised to have a follow-up hematocrit check at the same time of his inr check on . 3. pulm: patient's respiratory status was not an active issue during his stay, as he did not require oxygen supplemenation and did not acquire any shortness of breath upon exertion. patient was noted to intermittently have o2 sats in the mid 90s on room air however. 4. renal: pt's admit creatinine was 1.5 without evidence per report or in the medical records available as to the source of this elevation. a renal ultrasound was performed, see results above, which showed no acute abnormality. patient's urine output remained adequate throughout his stay. on day #2, patient's creatinine dropped to 1.2 and remained at this level until discharge. 5. id: on day #2, patient had a mild temperature elevation with a mild leukocytosis, prompting a pan-culture. empirically he was initated on vancomycin and levofloxacin, with discontinuation of levofloxacin after a cxr failed to show any signs of pneumonia or infiltrate. a u/a was negative for infection. patient did not have any overt signs of a stool infection and no signs of cdiff infection. his leukocytosis stabilized and his temperature did not spike but he did have periods of low grade temps. the piv lines were removed secondary to tenderness and possible cause of infection. due to low clinical suspicion of an active clinical infection, the vancomycin was discontinued on day of discharge.

this stent appeared to be blocked with stones/sludge. a guidewire was placed into the biliary duct through the stent. a snare was then passed to remove the stent while maintaining access. sphincterotome was then advanced over the guidewire into the biliary tree and contrast medium was injected resulting in complete opacification. several small stones and one 1 cm stone were seen at the common bile duct. the cbd measured 11 mm. a sphincterotomy was performed in the 12 o'clock position using a sphincterotome over an existing guidewire. two stones and debris were extracted successfully using a balloon. final cholangiogram did not reveal any filling defects. brief hospital course: the patient was admitted to the west-1 surgery service with suspected cholelithiasis and cholecystitis. given her extensive medical history/co-morbidities which included end stage renal disease in conjunction with congestive heart failure, she was admitted to the sicu for close monitoring of her fluid status and further management of her biliary disease. she was begun on iv vancomycin and zosyn prophylactically - dosed for dialysis - and kept npo. she was immediately transfused 2 units of ffp and given 5 of vitamin k+ in an attempt to normalize her elevated inr (9.5 on admission). her coumadin was held, and she underwent a r. upper quadrant ultrasound which demonstrated findings consistent with both choledocolithiasis and cholecystitis. the patient was stabilized on antibiotics overnight, and was scheduled for ercp the following morning. however at that time her inr remained elevated at 5.6 and she required another 4 units of ffp while on dialysis, in addition to 10 of vitamin k+ in order to normalize her to an inr of 1.6. during the ercp a pancreatic stent was required to facilitate access to the biliary system (removed at the end of the procedure), and a common bile duct stent was placed to allow drainage of the biliary obstruction caused by stones and sludge. however, due to the patient's elevated inr, no sphincterotomy or stone removal was performed. frank pus was noted to be draining from the common bile duct, and post-ercp it was recommended that the patient remain on iv zosyn for at least a week. the vancomycin was discontinued. initially the patient did well post-procedure and the following morning was transferred out of the sicu to the floors - during which time she was tolerating po and with improved abdominal pain. however, later in the afternoon her bilirubin levels were noted to be elevated (to 9.9 from 6.5 and the following morning this was further increased to 12.0 - leading to concern for obstruction of the biliary stent. as the patient was noted to be clinically stable, afebrile with a normal wbc count, pain-free, and in all other respects with a non-septic clinical picture, it was recommended by gastroenterology that the patient's lfts/serum bilirubin be trended and the patient be observed for another day on antibiotics. on hospital day 4 (post-procedure day 3) the patient returned to ercp for re-evaluation of her biliary stent as her lfts and bilirubin continued an upward trend. on ercp the previous biliary stent was noted to be acutely obstructed by biliary sludge and stones. as the patient's inr was normalized to 1.2, a sphincterotomy was safely performed, with removal of several biliary stones in addition to the common bile duct stent. at the conclusion of the procedure, retrograde cholangiogram was negative for filling defects. the patient again tolerated the procedure well, and without complications. however, post-procedure her serum bilirubin levels remained elevated for several days, with a slow down-trend despite negative hemolysis work-up, and no complaint of further abdomina pain, nausea, or vomiting. a r. upper quadrant ultrasound was obtained on hospital day 7 (post-procedure day 2 following second ercp) to rule out liver abscess as a possible cause of persistently elevated bilirubin. this was negative for abscess and the gallbladder was noted to be non-distended although the gallbladder wall remained thickened. hepatitis serologies were negative for infection. the ercp team was again consulted, and did not believe a repeat procedure to be warranted as they believed the elevated bilirubin levels to be secondary to accumulation from prior biliary obstruction and slow clearance due to the patient's severe renal dysfunction. additionally, beginning on hospital day 6 the patient had multiple bouts of diarrhea and stool samples returned positive for c. diff colitis. as wbc count was not elevated, the patient was initially treated with oral flagyl alone. however following two days of increasing numbers of bowel movements despite antibiotics, treatment was upgraded to oral vancomycin and iv flagyl. the patient was stabilized on this regimen with a gradual down-trend in her serum bilirubin levels and a decrease in her diarrhea. by hospital day 12 it was deemed appropriate to discharge the patient home. at the time of discharge she was tolerating po, had been afebrile since initial admission, was ambulating independently with a cane, had no pain issues, and was otherwise stable. the patient was discharged on po augmentin 500mg q24hrs (replaced iv zosyn) to complete a total of 14 days antibiotics. as her diarrhea had demonstrated significant improvement and her wbc count remained within normal limits, iv flagyl and po vancomycin were discontinued and she was discharged with po flagyl 500mg q8hrs. she will follow-up with her pcp for titration of her coumadin which had been held for the entirety of her hospital stay. inr prior to discharge was 1.5 the patient will follow-up with dr. in clinic during the week following discharge and re-evaluation of liver enzymes and bilirubin levels. medications on admission: coreg 3.12mg synthroid 0.112mg daily coumadin 2.5mg daily lipitor 40mg daily digoxin 0.125mg every other day nephrocaps 40mg daily phslo prilosec 20mg cardizem 360mg daily amiodarone 200mg daily discharge medications: 1. levothyroxine 112 mcg tablet sig: one (1) tablet po daily (daily). 2. amiodarone 200 mg tablet sig: one (1) tablet po daily (daily). 3. atorvastatin 40 mg tablet sig: one (1) tablet po daily (daily). 4. omeprazole 20 mg capsule, delayed release(e.c.) sig: one (1) capsule, delayed release(e.c.) po bid (2 times a day). 5. carvedilol 3.125 mg tablet sig: one (1) tablet po bid (2 times a day). 6. b complex-vitamin c-folic acid 1 mg capsule sig: one (1) cap po daily (daily). 7. digoxin 125 mcg tablet sig: one (1) tablet po every other day (every other day). 8. amoxicillin-pot clavulanate 500-125 mg tablet sig: one (1) tablet po q12h (every 12 hours). disp:*4 tablet(s)* refills:*0* 9. flagyl 500 mg tablet sig: one (1) tablet po three times a day for 11 days. disp:*33 tablet(s)* refills:*0* 10. coumadin 2.5 mg tablet sig: one (1) tablet po once a day: inr monitored by your nephrologist. 11. phoslo 667 mg capsule sig: one (1) capsule po three times a day: with meals. 12. cardizem cd 360 mg capsule, ext release 24 hr sig: one (1) capsule, ext release 24 hr po once a day. discharge disposition: home discharge diagnosis: cholangitis, common bile duct stones discharge condition: mental status: clear and coherent. level of consciousness: alert and interactive. activity status: ambulatory -

Medical Report: allergies: no known allergies / adverse drug reactions attending: chief complaint: respiratory distress s/p elective lymph node biopsy major surgical or invasive procedure: right internal jugular central line placement axillary node biopsy axillary node biopsy right internal jugular central line placement endotracheal intubation x 2 cardiopulmonary resuscitation thoracentesis history of present illness: 27 year old gentleman who presented for an elective axillary lymph node biopsy today and subsequently developed respiratory failure and vf and pea arrests. . regarding his lymphadenopathy, he reports he began to notice swelling over his left temple about 3 weeks ago that gradually migrated down the left side of his face and behind his jaw into his neck. he reports it is mildly painful over his temple as well as over his jaw while chewing. he also affirms it is tender to palpation. he was in contact with his pcp with these findings and underwent an ultrasound followed by a ct of his head and neck. the scan revealed adenopathy extending from the left ear into the mediastinum and right axilla and the patient was asked to return to the ed for further work up. he received a ct of chest, abdomen, and pelvis which revealed a mediastinal mass with multiple enlarged nodes in the mediastinum, right axilla, subclavicular and aortocaval nodes near the level of the kidneys. he was then admitted to , where he underwent vats and mediastinal mass biopsy, which was nondiagnostic. he was readmitted from , where he had ent, thoracics and acs consults who all felt that there were no clear options for where his repeat biopsy should occur. it was felt that his lymph nodes could represent reactive lymphadenopathy from his svc syndrome, but also that a mediastinal mass biopsy could be unrevealing as this was the case in his last vats. therefore he had pet ct to identify fdg-avid lymph nodes most appropriate for biopsy which revealed diffuse disease. he was discharged to home with plan for r axillary ln biopsy today. . today, he was intubated for airway protection given his habitus prior to procedure. initial intubation was difficult due to habitus. on extubation, he wasn't ventilating well with elevated end tidal co2 despite 30-45 min of ambu ventilation and was reintubated with difficulty. he had no documented episodes of hypotension throughout. subsequent to re-intubation, he was found to be in vf and pulseless. chest compressions were initiated and he was shocked once with rosc. he subsequently went into pea arrest and received 2 doses of epinephrine with rosc. a left femoral a-line and ij cvl were placed in the setting of the code. . on arrival to the icu, the patient is intubated and sedated. past medical history: h/o recent

isolated. . path: anterior mediastinal mass: atypical lymphoid proliferation highly suggestive of lymphoma (see note). note: the specimen is composed of fragments of soft tissue with varying histological patterns. a significant proportion of the biopsy is composed of dense fibrous tissue with scant lymphoid infiltrate, but prominent focal fibroblastic proliferation. more cellular areas in the biopsy contain a polymorphous cell infiltrate comprised of a spectrum of lymphoid cells, from small to large atypical cells, and inflammatory cells. admixed are histiocytes, occasional langerhans cells, eosinophils and macrophages. confluent necrosis is absent. rare -sternberg-like cell is seen. however classical rs cells are not present. in small areas of the biopsy clusters of atypical large cells are present, which resemble those seen in primary mediastinal lymphoma, yet they are negative for b cell markers (see below). yet in another site in the biopsy, there are numerous epithelioid cells with abundant pink cytoplasm which are positive for cytokeratin and suggestive of reactive mesothelial cells. by immunohistochemistry the larger cells are negative for cd20, cd3, cd15, lmp and bcl-6. most large cells are also negative for cd30 and pax-5. however, a small subset of large cells within an area of crush artifact appears positive for pax5 and are definitively positive for cd30. the same group of cells appears positive for bcl-6. the same subset of large cells is negative for cd20 and cd79a. cd45 stains most of the cells given the impression of staining more cells than accounted for by the combined cd20, cd30 and cd3 stained cells. mib-1 highlights a high proliferation rate within the larger cells. overall the findings are highly atypical and suggestive of a lymphoma. however, given the various histological patterns and the atypical immunohistochemistry results, it is not possible to render a definitive diagnosis in this biopsy. given the histopathological complexity of this case and the fact that the patient has extensive lymphadenopathy, an excisional lymph node biopsy, i.e. complete nodal excision, needs to be attempted to maximize that chances of procuring tissue sufficient for a definitive diagnosis. . images: tte: the left atrium and right atrium are normal in cavity size. left ventricular wall thicknesses and cavity size are normal. regional left ventricular wall motion is normal. there is mild global left ventricular hypokinesis (lvef = 40%). right ventricular chamber size is normal. with borderline normal free wall function. the mitral valve appears structurally normal with trivial mitral regurgitation. there is no mitral valve prolapse. the estimated pulmonary artery systolic pressure is normal. there is a trivial/physiologic pericardial effusion. there is an anterior space which most likely represents a prominent fat pad. impression: mild global left ventricular systoilc dysfunction (most c/w diffuse process, such as toxic, metabolic, post-cardiac arrest stunning, etc.). no clinically-significant valvular disease seen. . cta chest w&w/o c&recons, non-coronary: no evidence of pulmonary embolism. diffuse mediastinal lymphadenopathy, with epicardial and bronchovascular encasement. increased bilateral pulmonary opacities, likely representing post-obstructive pneumonitis/aspiration, atelectasis, infection, and/or hemorrhage. increased right and new left pleural effusions. right axillary/subpectoral lymphadenopathy and postoperative changes. cxr: endotracheal tube ends approximately 2.5 cm above the carina. consider retracting the et tube by additional 2 cm . moderate pulmonary edema has worsened since . moderately enlarged heart size is unchanged. left internal jugular line ends at mid svc. 1. worsened bilateral moderate pulmonary edema. moderately enlarged heart is unchanged. 2. endotracheal tube terminates 2.53 cm above the carina. consider retracting et tube by additional 2 cm for more standard position. . pet ct: extensive fdg-avid disease in the left cervical nodes, mediastinum, right axilla, abdomen, pelvis and bony skeleton. there is bronchial narrowing, particularly on the right. vascular compromise is difficult to assess with this non-contrast study - contrast-enhanced ct of the chest is recommended for better assessment of the vascular and bronchial structures in the chest (if clinically indicated). . ekg: sinus tach 111 bpm, na, ni, <1mm j point elevation in ii, avf, axis slightly different as compared with prior . echo: due to suboptimal technical quality, a focal wall motion abnormality cannot be fully excluded. overall left ventricular systolic function is low normal (lvef 55%). right ventricular chamber size and free wall motion are normal. the number of aortic valve leaflets cannot be determined. no aortic regurgitation is seen. the mitral valve leaflets are not well seen. no mitral regurgitation is seen. the pulmonary artery systolic pressure could not be determined. there is an anterior space which most likely represents a prominent fat pad. impression: low normal left ventricular systolic function, improved compared to the prior study on . . chest (portable ap): as compared to the previous radiograph, the patient has been extubated. the left internal jugular vein catheter remains in situ. unchanged moderate-to-severe cardiomegaly and bilateral enlargement of the mediastinum without evidence of pathologic mediastinal contours. no pleural effusions. no pathologic parenchymal processes. brief hospital course: 27m with recently discovered diffuse lymphadenopathy/hodgkin's lymphoma and polysubstance abuse, who presented for elective r axillary ln dissection and subsequently developed respiratory failure and vf and pea arrests, now with return of spontaneous circulation. . # respiratory failure: patient was able to be extubated after 2 days in the icu. the exact trigger was unclear. the patient had bilateral diffuse infiltrates on cxr. this may have been aspiration pneumonia/pneumonitis given multiple intubation attempts. rll pleural effusion was tapped evening and drained over 1 liter and pigtail catheter was able to be removed . pleural effusion had ldh of 325 (serum ldh 271) -> exudative likely from pneumonia vs. malignancy. fluid was sent for cytology and was pending at the time of discharge. he was initially treated with zosyn and vanco for presumed aspiration pneumonia, planned 8 day course started , but was transitioned to levoquin to complete a 7-day course. sputum culture and blood cultures were negative. . # vt/pea arrest: unclear trigger but could have been compression from large mediastinal mass, aspiration, or from hypercarbia and hypoxia while being bag masked. there was no evidence of pe on cta. there was very mild troponin elevation that is now resolved with normal ck-mb consistent with cardiac arrest but not acs. the patients ejection fraction was noted to be depressed to 40% consistent with myocardial stunning from cardiac arrest but later normalized to 55% on repeat echocardiography. pt was seen by electrophysiology who felt there was no current indication for icd placement or further investigation. patient was informed of danger signs such as palpitations, racing heart beat, light-headedness to call 911 emergently. . # hodgkin's lymphoma: pathology consistent with hodgkin's lymphoma, but final pathology will need to be followed-up on. he started modified abvd (no bleomycin given his recent pulmonary issues) on . he was started on methylprednisolone 100mg iv q24 for 5 days (day 1 = ) and was transitioned to an oral prednisone taper the day of discharge. he was put on allopurinol for prevention of tumor lysis, adn this was discontinued upon discharge. he will follow-up with dr. in clinic on thursday . . # pleural effusion: pleural fluid had ldh of 325 (serum ldh 271) -> exudative likely from pneumonia vs. malignancy. cytology was still pending at time of discharge. the pigtail removed prior to discharge from the icu. . # leukocytosis: likely to have been stress response vs aspiration/infection vs malignancy-related. infectious work-up was negative and wbc soon normalized. . # abnormal lfts: were initially elevated but later normalized. have been related to arrest and temporary hypoperfusion. . transitional issues: =====================

the patient completed a 14 day course of ctx on . he was presumed to have pneumococcal meningitis although no organism grew on csf culture secondary to a high grade pneumococcal bacteremia noticed at an outside hospital. - the etiology of his pneumococcal meningitis is unclear. the ct of his head had shown pansinusitis and further imaging showed no temporal bone involvement. after his transfer to the floor, ent was consulted to comment on his pansinusitis and whether this may have been the nidus for infection. however, they stated that by the time he was transferred out of the micu, he did not appear to have clinical sinusitis on physical exam with clear tympanic membranes and nares and there was nothing to drain or to do differently in management. they were unable to comment on whether his pansinusitis may have contributed to his presenting symptoms as they only saw the patient after he had been treated for his pneumococcal meningitis and his symptoms had resolved. 2. mrsa pneumonia - the patient was maintained on linezolid for a total of a 3 week course which he was to continue as an outpatient for 17 more days since discharge. - his o2 sats were in the high 90s upon discharge on room air. 3. delirium - neurology was consulted to see the patient. on exam, the patient at first appeared to be weaker in his right lower extremity in the micu, however, a ct of the head showed no intracranial abnormality except for pansinusitis. the patient was intended to receive an mri of the head, however, his symptoms greatly improved before the study could be performed. - it was felt that the patient's delirium was more consistent with a toxic metabolic picture in the setting of pneumococcal meningitis. his ammonia level was normal. he was initially monitored with a 1:1 sitter but this was discontinued as he did not exhibit any unusual, erratic behavior after being transferred out of the micu. - on the day of discharge, the patient was able to get out of bed, interact appropriately with his nurses and doctors. he was alert and oriented x 3 ( at times, he would say that he was at the hospital). he would have intermittent moments of mumbling or strange affect but otherwise, his delirium was slowly resolving. - neurology had recommended a slow taper of kaletra for his febrile seizures. he remained seizure free after he was transferred from the micu on kaletra which was then discontinued as it was felt that his seizures were secondary to his meningitis and not from an intrinsic seizure disorder. 4. transaminitis - the origin of his transaminitis is unclear. however, it is most likely drug-induced as it was new during his admission. the most likely etiology of a drug-induced hepatitis in this patient would be the dilantin load he originally received secondary to his seizures. as a result of his elevated lfts, his statin was discontinued. his lfts should be followed as an outpatient and his statin restarted. - an abdominal u/s showed fatty infiltration of liver with diffuse changes and no other abnormalities.. - his ammonia level was within normal limits. 5. cad - the patient was continued on an aspirin, b-blocker, and ace. he was discontinued from his statin in the setting of elevated lfts. the patient was also continued on plavix. - of note, the patient never underwent a cardiac catheterization during this admission although he was transferred to for emergent catheterization as he had witnessed febrile seizures in the cath lab. 6. htn - the patient was hypertensive on his maxed out regimen of an ace and b-blocker. as a result, norvasc 5 mg was added to his antihypertensive regimen. 7. dmii- the patient was continued on a sliding scale, with frequent fingersticks, and nph was started on and increased to 6 in am, 6 units in pm. he was discharged on metformin 500 as well. 8. it was felt by the patient's wife and attending that the patient would benefit most from being at home with his family in his normal environment and receive home visits from a nurse. thus he was discharged with vna. 9. after the patient's discharge, a preliminary result from one blood culture showed coagulase negative staphylococcus. as a result, his visiting nurse was called that day and asked to draw 3 sets of blood cultures on her upcoming visit and make sure that the patient had been afebrile. the patient's blood culture appears to have been contaminated with skin flora and did not grow out any organisms in any other blood cultures taken simultaneously. the results of the outpatient cultures were to be sent to dr. , who would see the patient the following week. medications on admission: seroquel 25 mg np 4 qam, qpm albuterol q4 prn ipratropium prn olanzapine 5 mg tid prn captopril 50 mg tid lopressor 75 mg tid ppi isordil 10 mg tid glipizide 10 mg linezolid 600 mg iv q12 levetiracetam 1 gm bisacodyl 10 mg pr :prn @ 1216 view lactulose 30 ml po q8h:prn constipation @ 1216 view docusate sodium (liquid) 100 mg po bid @ 1216 view artificial tear ointment 1 appl ou prn ipratropium bromide mdi 2 puff ih qid albuterol puff ih q4h aspirin 325 mg po daily heparin 5000 unit sc tid clopidogrel bisulfate 75 mg po daily acetaminophen (liquid) 650 mg po q6h:prn discharge medications: 1. clopidogrel bisulfate 75 mg tablet sig: one (1) tablet po daily (daily). 2. aspirin 325 mg tablet sig: one (1) tablet po daily (daily). 3. glipizide 10 mg tablet sig: one (1) tablet po bid (2 times a day). disp:*60 tablet(s)* refills:*2* 4. isosorbide dinitrate 10 mg tablet sig: one (1) tablet po tid (3 times a day). disp:*90 tablet(s)* refills:*2* 5. amlodipine besylate 5 mg tablet sig: one (1) tablet po daily (daily). disp:*30 tablet(s)* refills:*2* 6. metoprolol succinate 100 mg tablet sustained release 24hr sig: two (2) tablet sustained release 24hr po daily (daily). 7. levofloxacin 500 mg tablet sig: one (1) tablet po q24h (every 24 hours) for 5 days. disp:*5 tablet(s)* refills:*0* 8. captopril 25 mg tablet sig: two (2) tablet po tid (3 times a day). 9. linezolid 600 mg tablet sig: one (1) tablet po q12h (every 12 hours) for 17 days. disp:*34 tablet(s)* refills:*0* 10. metformin hcl 500 mg tablet sig: one (1) tablet po twice a day. 11. insulin please take 6 units of nph insulin in the am and 6 units nph before bedtime. discharge disposition: home with service facility: discharge diagnosis: pneumococcal meningitis. delirium. transaminitis -

hemophilus influenza urine porphobilinogen- negative hiv antibody- negative legionella urinary antigen- negative mycoplasma igg positive, igm pending. brief hospital course: mr. was admitted to the icu for closer monitoring and intubated for airway protection. he was started on a 5 day course of ivig. on day #4 he had clinically improved and his nif's were good. he was therefore extubated. the following day however, he became increasingly tachypneic and desaturated. he was re-intubated and had a 5 second period of asytole during the procedure after recieving succinylcholine. a pheresis catheter was placed and he underwent five plasmapheresis sessions over a 10 day period. given his profound weakness and respiratory muscle failure, clinical improvement resulting from pheresis sessions may not begin for at least 14 days following treatments. 1) acute inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy ( syndrome)- his recurrence of the syndrome likely resulted from uri secondary to hemophilus influenza, and possible in the setting of influenza vaccination. given his recurrent episode of gbs it may be warranted to advise against any future influenza vaccinations. given the rarity of recurrent gbs alternative etiologies were considered including arsenic, lead, thallium toxicity, porphyria, hiv infection, and mycoplasma infection. heavy metal tox screens pending at for lead were negative. he is hiv ab negative. urine porphobilinogen was negative. dysautonomia encountered with gbs likely relates to his period of asystole associated with intubation. the patient also had labile blood pressures- treated with prn labetalol, and an ileus (also both relating to dysautonomia). he was evaluated by the neuromuscular specialists while inpatient. if there is no improvement 3 weeks following the completion of his initial course of pheresis (), a second course of pheresis may be considered. he will likely have a protracted course of recovery given the severity of his symptoms at onset. there may be some benefit to interval emg testing for prognostication of recovery in a 3 weeks. he may follow up in the neuromuscular disorders center at once discharged from rehabilitation, office number (. 2) hospital acquired pneumonia- developed fever and leucocytosis after second intubation on hd #5. started on vancomycin, levofloxacin, flagyl for hap. vanco and flagyl were discontinued once sputum and blood cultures did not reveal mrsa or anaerobes. he completed a full 10 day course of levofloxacin 750mg iv daily while inpatient (ending ). c. diff screen was negative. 3) respiratory failure- related to respiratory muscle weakness, the patient had very high vent settings with peep of 14, and fio2 as high as 0.80 to achieve adeqeuate oxygenation. bronchoscopy was performed without secondary etiology for ventilatory/oxygenation. pulmonary embolism was considered, but less likely on sc heparin, without tachycardia or worsening ventilatory deficits. given protracted course on intubation he underwent tracheostomy placement for long term ventilation needs. 4) gi- percutaneous g-tube was placed for long term feeding needs. patient developed an ileus relating to dysautonomia encountered with syndrome. we was treated with regular dosing of metoclopramide. regular lactulose enemas will also be required to maintain regular bowel patterns. prior to the patient was noted to have vre from a screening rectal swab. he will require contact precautions while at rehab. 5) endocrine- maintained on insulin sliding scale. 6) nutrition- maintained on enteral tube feeds. the patient has a fiberoptic swallowing evaluation on the day of an a summary of the team's findings are provided below: summary / impression: mr. presented with a moderate oral and pharyngeal dysphagia that appears weakness from his gb and an inability to create an apneic period during the swallow to protect his airway the level of vent support he continues to require. he will aspirate any consistency given to him at this time and therefore i am recommending he remain strictly npo. we will wait until his peep can be weaned to 8 or less and can then return to try a passy muir speaking valve and if tolerated, can re-evaluate his ability to tale pos at that time. recommendations: 1. suggest the pt remain strictly npo, including ice chips and medications. 2. wait for the pt to weaned to vent settings of a peep of 8 or less and please reconsult for a passy muir speaking valve. we can determine at that time if pt has improved enough to attempt anything by mouth.

prolapse. there is trivial mitral regurgitatino. there is borderline pulmonary artery systolic hypertension. there is no pericardial effusion. brief hospital course: 22 year-old african-american woman with cell disease admitted with respiratory symptoms and right-sided back pain, found to have rll infiltrate + hypoxemia. 1) pneumonia +/- acute chest syndrome: cxr on admission revealed a rll infiltrate suspicious for pneumonia, although acute chest syndrome can not be ruled out. examination was also remarkable for hypoxemia, with saturation in the low 80s. she was empirically started on ceftriaxone and azithromycin for coverage of mycoplasma, chlamydia, hemophilus and pneumococcus, and hydrated. she was afebrile on admission, but subsequently developed a fever in hospital with rising wbc up to 34.6 on . she also developed worsening hypoxemia on with increasing sob in the setting of decreasing hematocrit to 15.5, then 14.3. an abg revealed ph 7.41/38/70. a repeat cxr was performed and remarkable for worsening rml/rll pneumonia. given the above as well as inability to transfuse prbcs no available cross-matched blood (multiple allo-antibodies), ms. was transferred to the icu on . in the icu, supportive care was provided. she was continued on ceftriaxone and azithromycin. sputum cultures returned as op flora, without predominance of organisms (can not rule out chlamydia or mycoplasma). blood and urine cultures all returned negative. serial cxrs initially revealed worsening picture, with interval development of a lll infiltrate consistent with multilobar process, and bilateral pleural effusions. an echo was performed that showed normal ef>60%. the effusions were ultimately felt most likely fluid overload in the setting of aggressive ivf administration, and she was diuresed with lasix on and . she eventually improved and defervesced, with decreasing oxygen requirements and improved radiographic picture. antibiotics were changed to po levofloxacin on , ceftriaxone d/c'd on (received 6 days), and azithromycin d/c'd on (received 7 days). she will complete a 14-day course (total) of levofloxacin (last dose on ). of note, the effusions persist at discharge, stable in size. she also has persistent leukocytosis with wbc 16.2 at discharge. both should improve with time. she will need follow-up imaging after completion of her antibiotic course to document complete resolution of infiltrate/effusion, as well as repeat wbc. if the effusions persist, then a thoracentesis would be indicated to rule out a parapneumonic effusion. she was given pneumococcal, meningococcal and hib vaccines prior to discharge. she will follow-up with her pcp 1 week of discharge. 2) cell disease: hematocrit on admission was 19.9 (around baseline), down to 15.3 on with 2+ cells on peripheral smear, then a nadir of 14.3 on . the hematology service was consulted. ms. has multiple allo-antibodies and hrb absent which is rare except in some african-americans. the blood bank was unable to provide matched blood. she was transfused 1 unmatched unit on after pre-medication with prednisone 60 mg po qd, without response. further transfusion was therefore held. per hematology, folate was increased to 5 mg po qd. her hematocrit slowly trended up to 22 at discharge. of note, ferritin was sent to rule out concomitant iron deficiency, and returned elevated at 791. she had appropriate reticulocytosis to 22% in the setting of her anemia. she will follow-up with dr. in hematology within 1 week of discharge. treatment with hydroxyurea should be addressed. 3) pain control: pain control was achieved with dilaudid iv prn and pre-medication with benadryl. she was switched to po oxycontin 10 mg po bid and oxycodone for breakthrough on , with fair pain control. tylenol around the clock and naproxen were also added. she was discharged on oxycontin/oxycodone/naproxen/tylenol + bowel regimen. 4) bacterial vaginosis: ms. was diagnosed with bacterial vaginosis prior to admission, treated with flagyl. she completed a 5-day course of flagyl in hospital, with resolution of her symptoms ( --> ). 5) oral lesions: while in hospital, she developed oral lesions suspicious for oral hsv. she was started on valtrex 1 gm po tid with plan to complete 3 days. she will complete her course as an out-patient (last doses on ). medications on admission: folate 2 mg po

edema around the mass. mri head : again a large cystic mass is noted in the right parietal-temporal region. there is significant edema as well as midline shift and uncal herniation. mri head : shows significant decompression of right parietal mass. brief hospital course: the patient was admitted to the icu for q1 hour neuro checks. she was started on dilantin and dexamethasone. the patient was placed on the add-on list for surgical decompression of the large right sided cystic mass. she was unable to tolerate an mri because she was becoming more agitated and was unable to stay still for the study. therefore she required intubation in order to obtain the study. prior to the intubation the patient signed informed consent for a right craniotomy. she also had a cta for pre-operative planning. the patient remained intubated after her mri and cta and went immediately to the or for a right craniotomy for resection of the mass. on pod#1, she remained intubated to obtain her post-operative mri. this mri showed significant decompression of right parietal mass. after her mri, she was extubated. on pod#2, she was doing significantly well, and determined to be appropriate for transfer to the neurosurgery floor. her blood pressure during her icu stay, had been stable, but low(sbp approx 80-90), so she was started on midodrine. her mental status was however stable. the patient's primary oncologist dr. was contact. will continue to follow her and will re-stage her as an outpatient. she will see him the monday following discharge. additionally, radiation-oncology and neuro-oncology were consulted. if radiation is necessary, this can be done at and she will been seen in follow-up by dr. at our brain clinic. the patient was evaluated by ot who felt that she did not

Medical Report: allergies: patient recorded as having no known allergies to drugs attending: chief complaint: transferred from s/p iv tpa for consideration of ia tpa major surgical or invasive procedure: intubation and mechanical ventilation nasogastric tube placement history of present illness: the patient is a 76yo handed woman who is transferred from osh where she received iv tpa following a r-mca stroke for evaluation for intraarterial tpa. on the day of presentation, the patient woke up around 6 am. she wa fine until about 8.30 am. at that time, she was dressing and fell to the left, unable to stand up. per ems she had dense l-hemi and gaze preference. she complained of a pressure type feeling across the r-temple. she was brought to osh where she had nihss 19 (details not available). she underwent ct and mri head with perfusion and diffusion that showed a clot in the r-m1 segments and a distal embolus in the aca. the patient received iv tpa at 11.08 (bolus of 5.7mg then 51mg over an hour; all per protocol). she was noted to improve some with respect to her ocular movements (no longer gaze preference) and l-leg movements (able to move upon command). she said her pressure feeling across the r-temple was improving some. she then was transferred to where she arrived at 13.40. upon arrival she was awake, alert though feeling tired. she can tell what happened the morning of presentation (that she fell), but does not understand what is going on. no pain other than the mild pressure at the r-side of her head. her nihss was 12. bp 125/53, heart rate regular. she

anion gap-14 mri/mra (): acute infarction involving the territory of the right lateral lenticulostriate arteries. no flow signal demonstrated within the m1 segment of the right middle cerebral artery. ct: (): acute hemorrhage within the area of infarction involving the right lateral lenticulostriate territory, with intraventricular extension of hemorrhage into both lateral ventricles, the third and fourth ventricles. minimal leftward subfalcine shift of midline structures is noted. echo (): the left atrium is normal in size. no atrial septal defect is seen by 2d or color doppler. left ventricular wall thicknesses are normal. the left ventricular cavity size is normal. left ventricular systolic function is hyperdynamic (ef 80%). no masses or thrombi are seen in the left ventricle. there is no ventricular septal defect. right ventricular chamber size and free wall motion are normal. there are focal calcifications in the aortic arch. the aortic valve leaflets (3) are mildly thickened but aortic stenosis is not present. moderate (2+) aortic regurgitation is seen. the mitral valve leaflets are mildly thickened. there is no mitral valve prolapse. there is no pericardial effusion. eeg: abnormality #1: throughout the recording, there is a continuous mixed hz theta and 3 hz delta frequency slowing seen in the right posterior temporal region with phase reversing around t4 and t6. in addition, there are frequent sharp epileptiform discharges occasionally followed with a slow wave recording. background: over the left hemisphere shows a 10 hz moderate voltage alpha frequency rhythm with normal anterior-posterior voltage gradient. the entire background over the right hemisphere is slow and disorganized. see above. hyperventilation: was not performed because the patient is intubated. intermittent photic stimulation: was not performed because this was a portable study. sleep: normal transitions of the sleep architecture were not seen. cardiac monitor: normal sinus rhythm with a rate of 66 bpm. impression: this is an abnormal portable eeg due to the presence of continuous mixed theta and delta frequency slowing over the right posterior region. this would be due to continuous mixed theta and delta frequency slowing over the right posterior temporal region with frequent epileptiform sharp discharges occasionally followed with slow waves. this finding

impression: 76yo woman transferred from osh where she received iv tpa following a r-mca stroke. she developed asystole, bradycardia and htn, and was found to have hemorrhage into the stroke. see hospital course below for details: neurologic: received iv-tpa at 2.5 hours at osh. nihhss went from 19->12 and then stabilized. was admitted to icu where pressures were maintained without agents around sbp 110-130. she was noted to be more somnolent around 0400 on and had to be emergently intubated for airway protection. she was taken for stat head ct thereafter which showed acute bleed along the infarcted territory. she was given 2 units of ffp and seen by neurosurgery who opted for no acute intervention at that time. she was extubated after 36 hours without complication. deficits were essentially unchanged admission with dense left hemiparesis, neglect and hemi-sensory loss. she was alert and oriented to month/place and following commands on right side. she was treated with blood pressure control, dilantin. asa was started on discharge. cvs: she remained bradycardic at baseline. she ruled out for mi by cardiac enzymes. an echo was performed (see results section).

of aortic valve leaflets cannot be determined. the aortic valve leaflets are mildly thickened. no masses or vegetations are seen on the aortic valve, but cannot be fully excluded due to suboptimal image quality. no aortic regurgitation is seen. the mitral valve leaflets are mildly thickened. no mass or vegetation is seen on the mitral valve. mild to moderate (+) mitral regurgitation is seen. the tricuspid valve leaflets are mildly thickened. there is mild pulmonary artery systolic hypertension. there is no pericardial effusion. compared with the report of the prior study (images unavailable for review) of , the severity of mitral regurgitation and tricuspid regurgitation has increased. a small secundum asd is now identified. no vegetation is identified, but aortic valve images were suboptimal. if clinically indicated, a tee is recommended to assess endocarditis. . echo repeat (to assess mr while on nitro drip) the left atrium is normal in size. there is mild symmetric left ventricular hypertrophy. the left ventricular cavity size is normal. overall left ventricular systolic function is normal (lvef 70%). right ventricular chamber size and free wall motion are normal. the aortic valve leaflets (3) appear structurally normal with good leaflet excursion and no aortic regurgitation. the mitral valve leaflets are mildly thickened. there is no mitral valve prolapse. trivial mitral regurgitation is seen. the pulmonary artery systolic pressure could not be determined. there is no pericardial effusion. compared with the findings of the prior study (images reviewed) of , the findings are similar. brief hospital course: 53 yo female with history of schizoaffective disorder was admitted from the ed with likely hypoxic respiratory failure of unclear etiology and in the setting of hypertensive urgency. course by problem: 1. hypoxic respiratory failure: the patient was intubated when she arrived to the , her differential was broad. she was intially started on broad coverage antibiotics to cover bacterial etiologies -- vanc, cefepime and azithromycin. the vancomycin was discontinued after 2 days, and azithro was completed for a 5 day. course. her cultures remained negative. dfa for flu was negative. urine legionalla negative. on her 7th day of her hospitilzation, she spiked fever to 101. she was on cefepime at the time, so vancomycin was started. for 48 hours, she remained afebrile and cultures were negative, so vanc was discontinued and cefepime was also discontinued (for a total of 9day course). her vent settings were weaned, but she when sedation was weaned, she was agitiated and hypertensive. the hypertension was correlated with reduced peeps. the reduced peep likely exacerbated her known mitral regurgitation. to optimize her for extubation, she was started on a nitro drip. her blood pressure was controlled on this, and she was able to be extubated without hemodynamic instablilty. for sedation, she was intially on propfol, which was switched to fentanyl and midazolam. when these were weaned off to put her on pressure support, she was very agitated and required 5mg haldol tid with 2.5-5mg prns. she also recieved several day of 10mg valium tid as well. this controlled her enough for extubation. . 2. hypertension unclear etiology for patient's hypertensive urgency upon arrival to the ed given inability to take any history. differential includes medication noncompliance, pain. the patient was inreasingly hypertensive and she was started on captopril and isosorbide mononitrate. it was then realized that her a line pressure was higher then normal because of flicking of the tip. she had urine metanephrines sent as part of work up for secondary causes of htn. as above, she was put on a nitrodrip for preload reduction periextubation, as increased preload with reduced peep exacerbated her mr. when the nitrodrip was discontinued, she was started on 20 mg tid of isordil. and continued on captopril 50mg tid. 3. type 2 diabetes mellitus stable - hold metformin for now and start insulin sliding scale 4. schizoaffective disorder unclear how patient's psychiatric status may have played into her current

active extravasation of contrast was seen. . mri mri of the brain: there is no evidence of acute brain ischemia or intracranial hemorrhage. no structural, signal, or enhancement abnormalities are noted within the brain parenchyma. apparent signal and enhancement abnormality in the inferior frontal lobes bilaterally are most consistent with artifact from the adjacent cribriform plates. calcification in the choroid plexus as well as choroidal vasculature is noted bilaterally. there is no hydrocephalus. the craniocervical junction is normal. there is thickening of multiple ethmoid air cells. no fluid is noted within the mastoid air cells or other paranasal sinuses. mra of the brain: there is no evidence of aneurysmal dilation, significant stenosis, or arteriovenous malformation. impression: no definite signal or enhancement abnormalities within the brain parenchyma are definitely seen. the preliminary read suggested some abnormalities thought to be within the medial temporal lobes and within the gyri recti of the frontal lobes; the former is thought to represent choroid plexus vasculature and the latter artifact arising from adjacent cribriform plates, a common finding when a 3t scanner is used. . cxr chest, one view: comparison with . low lung volumes may accentuate vascular structures. no pleural effusion or pneumothorax. probable minimal subsegmental atelectasis at the left lung base. no pleural effusion or pneumothorax. right picc is seen at the proximal portion of the svc. embolization coils in the epigastric region are noted. impression: minimal subsegmental atelectasis at the left lung base. . ct head findings: there is no evidence of hemorrhage, shift of normally midline structures, or infarction. -white matter differentiation is preserved. there is no hydrocephalus. small hypodensities in bilateral thalami may be old lacunes and were present on head ct, . the visualized paranasal sinuses and mastoid air cells are clear. impression: no evidence of hemorrhage or infarction. again, please note that non-contrast head ct is relatively insensitive for detection of metastatic disease and contrast-enhanced mri is recommended if this is a clinical concern. . eeg impression: abnormal eeg due to the mildly slow and disorganized background. this suggests an encephalopathy. no areas of prominent focal slowing were evident, and there were no epileptiform features. . rue u/s findings: grayscale and doppler son of the right internal jugular, subclavian, axillary, and right brachial veins demonstrate normal compressibility and waveforms. examination of the contralateral internal jugular vein and subclavian vein also demonstrates normal waveforms and compressibility. the right cephalic vein is not imaged on this examination and likely remains clotted. a central venous line is observed coursing through the right brachial veins and is unremarkable. impression: no evidence of deep vein thrombosis of the right internal jugular, subclavian, or axillary veins. no findings consistent with svc syndrome. . mrv lower portions of both the right and left internal jugular veins are widely patent, as are both the right and left brachiocephalic veins. the svc is patent as well. there is mild narrowing of the svc in its mid portion, although it is difficult to determine whether this represents a nondistended state or a functional stenosis/stricture. the left subclavian vein appears patent along its entire course. right subclavian vein is non-visualized for a segment of approximately 1-2 cm lateral to the the lung apex, presumably secondary to prior stenosis/thrombus. more proximally and distally, flow is seen within this vessel. small bilateral pleural effusions are present. a mass is seen within the left lobe of the liver on the coronal ssfse images. impression: 1. no evidence of svc conclusion. mild narrowing may be present in the mid portion of the svc, although we cannot assess whether this is truly anatomic stenosis or simply physiogical due to nondistension. 2. short segment of partial obstruction versus stenosis in the central portion of the right subclavian vein. 3. patent appearance of the visualized portions of both the right and left internal jugular veins as well as the brachiocephalic veins. brief hospital course: assessment/plan: 72 year old man with a past medical history significant for metastatic gastric cancer, thrombotic events, and mssa bacteremia who was recently discharged to a nursing home on lovenox, admitted with 4d of dark, guiaiac positive stools and 12 point hct drop, now s/p icu stay with 4 transfusion and unsuccessfull egd with epinephrine injection into bleeding gastric mass and subsequently embolization. . #) gi bleed: known gastric cancer with hypercoaguable state. placed on lovenox upon discharge on . hematocrit noted to have decreased from 36.8 on to 23.8 on admission. dark stools over the four days pta. guaiac positive in ed. hct continued to trend down and he was transfused several units of prbcs. he underwent an egd that showed a large gastric mass with central ulceration and recent bleeding. his hct continued to trend down thereafter, and he was therefore transferred to angiography for embolization therapy, which he received on . his hct has been stable since that procedure. . #) prior mssa infection: blood cultures on grew mssa in bottles. urinalysis and chest xray negative. tte negative for vegetations and tee deferred. given his prior history of deep vein thrombosis, upper extremity ultrasounds were obtained and notable for bilateral cephalic vein dvts. surveillance for infected clots negative. picc line was placed on for antibiotic administration. will need to continue nafcillin for four weeks (high dose at 2 gm iv every 4 hours), day 1 , with last doses on . scheduled to follow-up with dr. in the clinic on at 0900 am. . #) hypercoagulability: extensive personal and presumed family history of thromboses, with port-associated thrombus requiring port removal with placement of a new left-sided port in , followed by svc thrombus requiring tpa in . on previous admission in , upper extremity ultrasounds were obtained that were notable for bilateral upper extremity cephalic vein dvts. his inr was therapeutic on admission, but in late , subtherapuetic for short period. placed on lovenox, as deemed "coumadin failure". megace was discontinued during last admission due to its potential prothrombotic characteristics. at continuned high risk for thromboses. in setting of gi bleed, held lovenox and will continue to hold for now per his oncologist dr. .. . #) metastatic gastric cancer: followed by nurse . primary oncologist dr. . on previous hospitalization in -, noted to be guaiac positive and required one unit of packed red blood cells. . #) chronic renal insufficiency: cr on admission noted to be 1.6. he had been down to 1.1 on prior admission but has been as high as 1.8 in the past. his creatinine did not change with ivf and no renal abnormalities were found on renal ultrasound. - renally dose all medications . #) mental status change: he was noted to be acutely disoriented the night after he was transferred from the icu. no obvious cause was found for his disorientation and his mental status cleared over the next 24 hours. with neurology consulting, he was started empirically on keppra for seizure prevention as his presentation was most consistent with a post-ictal state although eeg did not show seizure activity. he will follow-up with dr. as an outpatient. no structural cause for seizure was found on mri. . #) diarrhea: he was noted to have increasing diarrhea around the time that he had mental status change. he was negative x 3 for c.diff but as he had been on long-term antibiotics and had low-grade fevers/inc wbc count, he was started empirically on flagyl for a 7 day course and his diarrhea and fevers resolved. - we started him on potassium supplementation on discharge as he has been relatively hypokalemic. his serum chemistries should be checked approximately every other day until stable and continued on potassium supplementation until his potassium is stable. medications on admission: -acetaminophen 325 mg tablet 1-2 tablets po q4-6h prn -pantoprazole 40 mg tablet po qd -nafcillin in d2.4w 2 g/100 ml; 2 grams iv q4h for 24 days

is noted. no focal consolidations are identified. prominence of interstitial markings; mild edema cannot be excluded. . ercp: a single periampullary diverticulum with large opening was found at the major papilla. cannulation of the biliary duct was successful and deep with a sphincterotome using a free-hand technique. contrast medium was injected resulting in partial opacification. pus was seen flowing out of the cbd after cannulation. a mild diffuse dilation was seen at the main duct with the cbd measuring 8 mm. given cholangitis only limited contast injection was made. limited

of altered mental status and abdominal pain radiating to the back where she was found to have leukocytosis, transaminitis, cholestasis, cbd dilation on ct and possible common bile duct stone. she underwent ercp where pus was seen draining from the cbd with mild diffuse dilation of the cbd. a biliary stent was placed in the common bile duct. she was maintained on iv antibiotics (initially zosyn, vancomycin then changed to ceftriaxone). following the procedure her diet was advanced and she was tolerating a low fat diet. occasionally she reported abdominal discomfort intermittently for about an hour following a large meal. her liver function tests improved (t-bili normalized, transaminases trending down). her white blood cell count normalized on . her antibiotics were changed to oral ciprofloxacin on with plan for 14 day course (ending ). she was monitored for over 24 hours on oral antiboitics and did well worsening symptoms. she was seen by general surgery and family declined urgent cholecystectomy. the need for percutaneous biliary drainage was discussed with ercp and given her clinical improvement following ercp it was not recommended. she will follow up as an outpatient with general surgery for further consideration of elective cholecystectomy per family request. she will follow up with repeat ercp for stent removal and likely sphincterotomy in 4 weeks (scheduled prior to d/c and communicated to son and ). please note that she should have transportation arranged to these appoinments as she is a two person assist. . # sepsis/e. coli bacteremia: she presented with sirs criteria (leukocytosis w/bandemia, tachycardia, tachypnea), hypotensive requiring transient vasopressors peri-procedurally during the ercp, and blood culture from the osh grew pan-sensitive e.coli. following the procedure her blood pressure normalized and she remained hemodynamically stable for the remainder of her hospitalization. the presumed source of bacteremia/sepsis was biliary. while her urine culture also grew e.coli it was a different species, resistant to several antibiotics. she was initially treated with iv zosyn and vancomycin, which was then changed to ceftriaxone. the ceftriaxone was changed to oral ciprofloxacin with plan for 14 day total course (ending ). surveillance blood cultures were negative. the decision to transition to oral antibiotics was discussed with infectious disease who agreed with the decision. . # hyponatremia: baseline sodium appears to be ~130 likely due to siadh as per prior workup. tsh was wnl. cortisol was wnl. she developed a drop in sodium to mid-120s in the setting of lifting fluid restriction post-ercp. with fluid restriction to 1.5l her sodium slowly improved back towards baseline and was ..... at discharge. her lisinopril was held but can be restared with return of sodium to baseline. would recommending checking chem-7 in days to ensure stability. the importance of fluid monitoring and gentle restriction was discussed with patient and family. . #uti: she had a positive urine culture from osh growing resistant e.coli species. she was treated with three days of ceftriaxone (sensitive) for uncomplicated urinary tract infection per id recommendation. . # subclavian arterial puncture: during attempted cvl placement there was a subclavian arterial puncture. there were no signs of hematoma and pt not complaining of neck pain or swelling. cxr did not show signs of bleeding such as apical cap or sulcus sign. vascular surgery has examined the patient and feels that there is nothing more to do. . # ams: likely delirium superimposed on dementia; septic shock vs. hyponatremia. mental status improved with treatment of infection as above, and hyponatremia resolved with fluids. per son, at baseline she is , not oriented to date, and has short-term memory difficulty. . #hypertension: initially held in setting of sepsis, then amlodipine restarted. holding lisinopril pending improvement in

Medical Report: history of present illness: this is a 55-year-old woman with a history of 3-vessel coronary artery disease (status post non-st-elevation myocardial infarction in ) who was transferred from with acute posterolateral myocardial infarction. the patient complained of substernal chest pain on the morning of , and on arrival to hospital was noted to be in ventricular fibrillation. she was cardioverted to a normal sinus rhythm, loaded on amiodarone, integrilin, and heparin and transferred to for emergent catheterization. the patient's catheterization showed a mid right coronary artery 70% lesion, left main 30%, mid left anterior descending artery 60%, mid left circumflex 80%, distal left circumflex 80%, and first obtuse marginal 90% with a wedge pressure of 10. during intervention on the left circumflex and obtuse marginal system, a left main dissection extending into the ascending aorta was noted. at that time, the patient also began to complain of increasing chest pain and became hypotensive requiring dopamine. the left main coronary artery was stented times two, and the left circumflex artery balloon angioplastied secondary to an inability to maneuver a stent into the area. the patient was intubated, and transesophageal echocardiogram showed no active dissection or aortic insufficiency, but showed the presence of a complex aortic atheroma. also noted were moderate mitral regurgitation, mild-to-moderate tricuspid regurgitation, and an ejection fraction of 40% to 50%. she was transferred to the coronary care unit for further management. past medical history: 1. coronary artery disease; status post non-st-elevation myocardial infarction in . catheterization at hospital showed a left anterior descending artery 60% proximal, 80% diagonal, 50% diagonal, left circumflex 100% stenosed, with left and right to left collaterals to the distal left circumflex, right coronary artery 50% mid lesion, apical hypokinesis, and an ejection fraction of 64%. 2. hypertension. 3. mild asthma; on flovent once per day. 4. arthritis. medications at home: 1. cardizem-cd 300 mg by mouth once per day. 2. zestoretic 20/12.5-mg by mouth every day. 3. pravachol 20 mg by mouth once per day. 4. aspirin 81 mg by mouth once per day. 5. celebrex 400 mg by mouth once per day. 6. flovent meter-dosed inhaler 1 puff once per day. allergies: no known drug allergies. social history: married with three children. her husband is a pediatrician. the patient enjoys golfing. no past history of tobacco or intravenous drug use. no significant ethanol. physical examination on presentation: blood pressure was 105/62, and her pulse was 65. in general, intubated and sedated. head, eyes, ears, nose, and throat examination revealed the pupils were equal, round, and reactive to light. endotracheal tube in place. the mucous membranes were moist. the neck revealed jugular venous pulsation less than 6 cm. cardiovascular examination revealed a distant first heart sounds and second heart sounds. a regular rate. a holosystolic murmur at the apex. no third heart sound. pulmonary examination revealed clear to auscultation anteriorly with slight coarse breath sounds. the abdomen revealed normal active bowel sounds. the abdomen was soft, nontender, and nondistended. groin revealed a right groin hematoma of 3 inches x 2 inches. no bruits on the right or left. extremities revealed no edema. there were 2+ radial, brachial, dorsalis pedis, and posterior tibialis pulses bilaterally. skin revealed no lesions. neurologically, intubated and sedated. pertinent laboratory values on presentation: significant for a white blood cell count of 14, her hematocrit was 30.6, and her platelets were 228. chemistry significant for a blood urea nitrogen of 18 and a creatinine of 0.9. her glucose was 280. aspartate aminotransferase was 152 and alanine-aminotransferase was 60. pertinent radiology/imaging: an electrocardiogram showed a normal sinus rhythm at 67 bowel movement, left axis deviation, left bundle-branch block, with left anterior fascicular block (old). there were st elevations of 1 mm in leads i and avl. there st depressions of 1 mm in leads ii, iii, and avf (have resolved status post catheterization compared to former electrocardiogram). brief summary of hospital course by issue/system: 1. coronary artery disease/status post inferior myocardial infarction issues: the patient was emergently catheterized with a thrombectomy of ascending lesion in first obtuse marginal, restoring normal flow distally. her left circumflex was also angioplastied. she has been continued on aspirin, plavix, metoprolol, lisinopril, and lipitor at high dose for secondary prevention. we increased her beta blocker to toprol-xl 150 mg by mouth once per day. we also discussed the likely future need for 3-vessel coronary artery bypass graft in the next few months given the extent of coronary artery disease. the patient was to follow up with her outpatient cardiologist (dr. at for this. 2. aortic dissection/intramural hematoma issues: it appeared during catheterization that manipulation of the left system resulted in left main coronary artery dissection into the proximal ascending aorta. this dissection appeared only when injected but not on transesophageal echocardiogram, both immediately at the time of catheterization nor the day after when stabilized. it was hypothesized that she may have had a dissection that was not actually physiologic. however, this should be followed up as an outpatient. given that the patient complained of some degree of chest pain the following day, we attempted to arrange for a magnetic resonance imaging as we also would like to get an idea of her baseline aortic anatomy given the catheterization complications. however, in discussions with radiology, their policy do not take patients after stents until after six to eight weeks status post procedure. they were unwilling to take this patient until that time, and given the fact that her chest pain began to resolve without intervention a magnetic resonance imaging was not pursued. during the episode of chest pain she had no further creatine kinase elevation or electrocardiogram changes. we maximized her blood pressure and heart rate regimen to decrease both parameters for minimizing the possible complications of the aortic neck. 3. cardiovascular issues: (a) pump: the patient was noted to have mild ejection fraction depression with no areas of akinesia. her filling pressures were low on catheterization. thus, initially she was gently hydrated. (b) rhythm: the patient was noted to have several runs of nonsustained ventricular tachycardia within 24 hours after myocardial infarction, but this did not continue further out into her hospitalization. she had no further episodes of any arrhythmias and remained in a normal sinus rhythm. 4. hypertension issues: hypertension controlled with current blood pressure medications, and aiming to keep systolic blood pressures in the 110s to 120s. 5. upper gastrointestinal bleed issues: the patient was noted on the night of admission to have approximately 500 cc of dark maroon/brown output from her nasogastric tube. her hematocrit had dropped two to three points only, and she remained hemodynamically stable. she was lavaged with 2 liters of normal saline with only partial clearing and was transfused 2 units of packed red blood cells at that time. gastroesophageal was consulted, and they performed an esophagogastroduodenoscopy showing ooze at a stricture noted at the gastroesophageal junction. on further questioning of the patient when extubated, it appears that she has a history of chronic dysphagia for years which has never been formerly evaluated. the thought was that either nasogastric tube placement or transesophageal echocardiogram may have dilated or disrupted this stricture versus schatzki ring which may have caused the bleed. the ooze was both cauterized and injected with epinephrine with termination of the bleeding. however, her hematocrit was noted to continue to slightly drift down later during admission, and she was transfused an additional 2 units of packed red blood cells. the patient continued to have some degree of melena; although, this was thought to be secondary to residual blood. she was placed on a liquid diet only during this admission but will be discharged on a soft solid diet. the patient was instructed not to eat any firm meats (such as steak) and to have a follow-up endoscopy in the next couple of months. she was placed on intravenous protonix twice per day while in house and will be discharged on daily by mouth protonix. 6. asthma issues: the patient has mild asthma on flovent inhaler once per day only. she tolerated beta blocker well but was informed that if wheezing or shortness of breath occurred that she should inform her doctor, and perhaps her beta blocker dose may have to be decreased. the patient was to continue as an outpatient on albuterol as needed as well. 7. thrombocytopenia issues: the patient had a slight decrease of platelets to a nadir of 109. a heparin-induced thrombocytopenia antibody screen was sent, although we had low suspicion. this was negative. her platelets began trending upward on discharge. this initial drop may have been a consumptive process as no medications were changed. 8. transaminitis issues: transaminitis likely secondary to acute myocardial infarction. decreased over the next day. 9. hyperglycemia issues: we checked fingerstick glucoses initially given high fasting glucose. however, her fasting fingerstick checks were all in the 130s to 140s and her hemoglobin a1c was 5.2. likely initially was due to adrenergic response and not true insulin resistance or diabetes. 10. fluids/electrolytes/nutrition issues: a full liquid cardiac diet. 11. arthritis issues: we did not continue celebrex given nonsteroidal antiinflammatory and possible gastrointestinal irritation. condition at discharge: stable. discharge status: to home. discharge diagnoses: 1. inferior wall myocardial infarction. 2. coronary artery disease. 3. aortic intramural hematoma. 4. esophageal stricture. 5. upper gastrointestinal bleed. 6. asthma. 7. arthritis. 8. hypertension. medications on admission: 1. aspirin delayed release 325 mg by mouth once per day. 2. plavix 75 mg by mouth once per day. 3. atorvastatin 80 mg by mouth once per day. 4. metoprolol-xl 150 mg by mouth once per day. 5. lisinopril 5 mg by mouth once per day. 6. pantoprazole 40 mg by mouth once per day. 7. sublingual nitroglycerin 0.3 mg every five minutes as needed (up to three tablets at a time). 8. flovent 110-mcg 1 to 2 puffs twice per day. 9. albuterol meter-dosed inhaler 1 to 2 puffs q.6h. as needed. 10. acetaminophen as needed. discharge instructions/followup: 1. the patient was instructed to follow up with her primary care doctor and dr. in for cardiology in the next one to three weeks. 2. the patient was also instructed to follow up with dr. of gastroenterology here for a repeat eesophagogastroduodenoscopy. , m.d.12.932 dictated by: medquist36 procedure: insertion of non-drug-eluting coronary artery stent(s) insertion of non-drug-eluting coronary artery stent(s) combined right and left heart cardiac catheterization coronary arteriography using two catheters injection or infusion of platelet inhibitor diagnostic ultrasound of heart insertion of endotracheal tube endoscopic control of gastric or duodenal bleeding gastric lavage transfusion of packed cells diagnoses: coronary atherosclerosis of native coronary artery mitral valve disorders hematoma complicating a procedure paroxysmal ventricular tachycardia hemorrhage complicating a procedure hemorrhage of gastrointestinal tract, unspecified diseases of tricuspid valve acute myocardial infarction of other lateral wall, initial episode of care dissection of coronary artery Answer: The patient is high likely exposed to

Consider the following medical report that includes the patient's historical health records. Use it to predict the disease that the patient is high likely exposed to. Medical Report: allergies: penicillins / bactrim attending: chief complaint: fever major surgical or invasive procedure: pericardial window and chest tube placement- history of present illness: 46 year old man with advanced aids with cd4 count of 1 and viral load of 30,000 on harrt (darunavir/etravirine/truvada and raltegravir) through a clinical trial who presented to osh with shortness of breath, chest pain, and fever. patient reports that 2 days pta, he began having chest pain that he describes as a very heavy person sitting on his chest, it did not radiate, was worse when he leaned forward or took a deep breath, better when laying back and was accompanied by mild sob. he took asa and celebrex (that a friend gave him) and the pain got better. his pain worsened w/ fevers to the low 101 one day pta. he initially went to hospital. he was found to have a mild elevation of troponins, negative d-dimer. his ekg showed pr depression in the inferior leads. an echo which revealed pericardial effusion. he has no history of coronary artery disease and was diagnosed with "pericarditits". he continued to have symptoms and his tte showed rapidly increasing pericardial effusion with tamponade physiology. he was taken to or emergently by c- on for pericardial window placement. patient states that his breathing improved markedly post procedure. however overnight he was found to be hypoxic with new oxygen requirement (c/t post window status) to 4lnc. he continued to spike temp to 102 and his hr also increased from 110s to 140s, sinus tachycardia. his uop decreased overnight and recieved 40 iv lasix at midnight and has put out >2.5 l to that. he recieved another 40 iv lasix early this morning. his pleuritic chest pain worsened however still markedly better than his admission pain. patient was transfered to ccu for further management of his care. . he denies any palpitations, worsening shortness of breath, nausea, vomitting, diaphoresis, abdominal pain, diarrhea, constipation, headache, neck stiffness, lower extremity swelling. review of systems is otherwise negative. past medical history: hiv infection/aids- dx . pt states he has been on "every med in the book". per omr records, multiple different drug regimens. followed by dr. in id since cmv retinitis thrush/candidal esophagitis gerd erectile dysfunction. seasonal allergies. social history: recently married to his same-sex partner, x 5 years and reports that they use protection. quit tobacco approximately 4 months ago. occasional etoh. denies recreational drug use family history: sister with

results: tte the left atrium is mildly dilated. there is mild symmetric left ventricular hypertrophy with normal cavity size and global systolic function (lvef>55%). tissue doppler imaging suggests a normal left ventricular filling pressure (pcwp<12mmhg). right ventricular chamber size and free wall motion are normal. the right ventricular free wall is hypertrophied. 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. the estimated pulmonary artery systolic pressure is normal. there is a small pericardial effusion. the effusion appears circumferential. there are no echocardiographic signs of tamponade. impression: mild symmetric left ventricular hypertrophy with normal systolic function. small pericardial effusion with no evidence of tamponade tte overall left ventricular systolic function is normal (lvef>55%). the right ventricular cavity is mildly dilated with normal free wall contractility. there is a moderate sized circumferential pericardial effusion. there is brief right ventricular diastolic invagination consistent with elevated intrapericardial pressure, low right-sided filling pressures, or both. impression: moderate sized pericardial effusion with evidence of elevated intrapericardial pressures. compared with the prior study (images reviewed) of , pericardial effusion may be slightly larger. the other findings are similar. tte the left atrium is normal in size. a patent foramen ovale is present. the estimated right atrial pressure is 0-5 mmhg. overall left ventricular systolic function is mildly depressed (lvef= 30-35 %). the right ventricular cavity is mildly dilated with moderate global free wall hypokinesis. there are three aortic valve leaflets. the mitral valve appears structurally normal with trivial mitral regurgitation. there is a large pericardial effusion. the effusion appears circumferential. the pericardium appears thickened. there is right ventricular diastolic collapse, consistent with impaired fillling/tamponade physiology. pericardial fluid drained surgically with resolution of tmaponade physiology. small size left sided pleural effusion tte there is a small pericardial effusion appears somewhat echo dense, consistent with blood, inflammation or other cellular elements. there are no echocardiographic signs of tamponade. no right atrial or right ventricular diastolic collapse is seen. compared with the prior study (images reviewed) of , the pericardial effusion size has decreased. tte due to suboptimal technical quality, a focal wall motion abnormality cannot be fully excluded. overall left ventricular systolic function is normal (lvef>55%). right ventricular chamber size is normal. there is abnormal septal motion suggestive of pericardial constriction. the aortic valve leaflets (3) appear structurally normal with good leaflet excursion. there is no aortic valve stenosis. the mitral valve leaflets are mildly thickened. the left ventricular inflow pattern suggests a restrictive filling abnormality, with elevated left atrial pressure. there is a small pericardial effusion with echodense elements in the pericardial space consistent with organization and probable adhesion/pericardial constriction. the pericardium appears thickened. compared with the prior study (images reviewed) of , findings are similar. ct head impression: no acute intracranial process. note added in attending review: there is moderate mucosal thickening involving the anterior ethmoidal air cells, bilaterally, and limited included left maxillary sinus, which appears new (though bone algorithm reconstructions were not performed, previously). the remaining included paranasal sinuses, as well as the mastoid air cells and middle ear cavities are clear, as above. such findings are seen commonly in hiv(+) patients, and should be correlated clinically. abdominal ultrasound: 1. right interpolar hypoechoic focus, while likely represents a prominent renal pyramid, cannot exclude a small focus of pyelonephritis. 2. gallbladder wall edema, with pericholecystic fluid, but no gallbladder wall distention. unlikely to represent acute cholecystitis. likely secondary to iv hydration or low oncotic pressure. 3. three left and one right lobe hepatic hemangioma as described above. essentially unchanged in size and appearance compared to the prior ct study, allowing the difference of technique. 4. small amount of ascites. ct chest with and without contrast 1. no pulmonary embolism to segmental level, although determination of the distal pulmonary arteries is not possible due to inadequate contrast opacification and respiratory motion artifact.v/q scan may be useful if clinically indicated 2. no dissection or aortic aneurysm. 3. large pericardial effusion 4. small-to-moderate bibasilar pleural effusions with probable loculated effusion in the right lung base. small pulmonary nodules with the soft tissue in a periaortic and peribronchovascular distribution raises the possibility of kaposi's sarcoma, correlation with presence of cutaneous lesions is recommended. 5. bibasilar and retrocardiac atelectasis in the left lower lobe. 6. splenomegaly with ascites surrounding the liver edge. , p m 46 radiology report renal u.s. study date of 11:21 am , m. med cc7a

isolated so far. brief hospital course: # pericarditis: patient presented from osh w/ presumed pericarditis. on admission he had chest pain and ekg changes consistent w/ pericarditis. he as initially treated w/ nsaids for pain control. tte was done which showed a small pericardial effusion. on hd 3 he developed cardiac tamponade and was taken to the or for an emergent pericardial window. he tolerated the procedure well and was transfered to the floor on post-op day 1. pericardial fluid culture and tissue pathology revealed mrsa. he was continued on vancomycin and discharged w/ instructions to finish a 4 week course of vancomycin. he had no more issues w/ chest pain after the pericardial window. he was discharged w/ follow up appointment with cardiology. . # low grade fevers: after his pericardial window was placed (and while on vancomycin), he continued to have low-grade fevers, the etiology of which was not determined. a thorough workup, with the notable exception of a ct abd/pelvis with contrast (given acute renal failure), was performed. he was discharged with follow up with his outpatient pcp/hiv physician and possible bone marrow biopsy. . # sinus tachycardia and hypoxia: on post-op day 2 patient developed sinus tachycardia to 140s and hypoxia sats to high 80s. this was thought to be due to a combination of fluid overhydration causing pleural effusion and infectious process. he was treated w/ iv lasix and after diuresing his respiratory status imporoved. he was transfered to the ccu for closer monitoring. pcp sputum negative. negative influenza panel. no evidence of end organ ischemia currently. not thought to be haveing significant reaccumilation of pericardial fluid as pt had tte that showed small pericardial effusion. vancomycin was continued. he was ruled out for tuberculosis w/ 3 (-)afb sputum and cultures. his respiratory status was stable throughout ccu course, upon transfer to the floor and throughout the rest of his hospitalization. . # aids treatment - patient w/ history of aids, cd4 count at 1, viral load 30k, currently enrolled in a experimental rescue study. he was continued on his current haart therapy including his study meds. ppx medications were continued except for dapsone which was stopped when patient developed arf. dapsone was re-strated on discharge. . # arf: patient had normal renal function on admission. he developed arf on hd 4, w/ cr peaking at 2.8 and stabilizing at 2.0-2.1. this was thought to be due to the contrast that the patient received for the cta with a component of hypoperfusion while he was in tamponade. he continued to make urine throughout admission and did not require hemodialysis. medications were subsequently renally dosed. he was discharged w/ follow up appointment with nephrology. . # pulmonary nodule: patient was found to have a small pulmonary nodules with the soft tissue in a periaortic and peribronchovascular distribution raised the possibility of kaposi's sarcoma. pt also had well-circumscribed mass in right posterior lung base at periphery. patient was discharged w/ an appointment with hematology/oncology to follow up this finding. . # anemia: patient's hematocrit was 40.8 3 month. on admission it was 30.4 and it continued to decrease until it stabilized in 24-27 range. he had no overt source of bleed and remained asymtomatic throughout admission. patient was discharged w/ an appointment with hematology/oncology to follow up this new anemia. medications on admission: medications on transfer to ccu: emtricitabine-tenofovir

requiring surgical drainage. a window was made between your pericardium and your pleural space and a chest tube was placed to drain the pericardial fluid from the pleural space. the chest tube was subseuqently removed and your chest pain and shortness of breath have improved significantly over the course of your stay. . you also developed acute renal failure during the hospital stay that we believe to be related to poor perfusion in the setting of cardiac tamponade (constriction of the heart in the setting of a large pericardial effusion). hydration and renal dosing of your medication have improved your renal function and urine output; however, you may have a new baseline in terms of your renal function. we have changed your truvada dosing to 1 tablet every other day and your fluconazole to 200mg/day. . in addition, you have had spiking fevers at night throughout the hospital stay. we performed an extensive infectious workup including blood and urine cultures, imaging, and pcr/antibody tests which did not reveal any infectious sources, other than the mrsa that was found in the pericardial tissue/fluid. we are continuing to treat the mrsa with a 4 week course of vancomycin. in addition, we would like you to take flucanzole, azithromycin, and dapsone for fungal, mac, and pcp respectively. . we would like you to continue to monitor your vital signs (heart rate, temperature, blood pressure) at least 3x/day at home for the next 7 days and then follow up with dr. and dr. . while you were here, we have made the following changes to your medications: 1. we would like you to continue taking your aids medications, as well as vancomycin for mrsa and flucanzole, azithromycin, and dapsone for prophalaxis. 2. we decreased your truvada dose (1 tablet every other

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 62-year-old male with a history of right lower lobe stage iii, non-small- cell lung cancer of the squamous type who has had two cycles of induction chemotherapy initiated on and radiation therapy times six weeks. the patient was planning to have a surgical resection on but developed a small bowel obstruction requiring an emergent exploratory laparotomy. two bowel perforations were found, and postoperatively the patient was sick and in the intensive care unit with evidence of a septic physiology. he was discharged to rehabilitation at that time and was home for three weeks prior to his current admission. he gained about five pounds per week over those weeks, and his appetite was much improved. he has an occasional dry cough and reports that he had pneumonia while in the rehabilitation facility; however, his breathing is quite good. repeat scans showed increased activity within the tumor and within the right hilar and right paratracheal lymph nodes. this was quite concerning given that the induction chemoradiotherapy did not eradicate lymphatic involvement and that it is progressing rapidly. the patient was thought to have a poor prognosis despite the addition of surgical therapy; but nonetheless, after discussions with dr. and the patient's wife, the patient opted for further surgery. past medical history: right lower lobe stage iii non-small- cell lung cancer of the squamous type; status post radiation therapy and chemotherapy. hypertension. history of a small-bowel obstruction. past surgical history: exploratory laparotomy/lysis of adhesions. anal sphincterotomy. allergies: no known drug allergies. medications on admission: 1. metoprolol 100 mg twice per day. 2. lisinopril 2.5 mg once per day. 3. protonix 40 mg once per day. 4. percocet. 5. megace. physical examination on presentation: in general, the patient appeared well. thinner than usual but walked without difficulty. vital signs revealed his temperature was 98.6, his heart rate was 100, his blood pressure was 130/80, his respiratory rate was 18, and 98 percent on room air. weight was 163 pounds. head, eyes, ears, nose, and throat examination revealed the extraocular movements were intact. the sclerae were anicteric. the oropharynx was clear. the neck was supple. no palpable cervical, supraclavicular, or axillary lymph nodes. chest revealed occasional expiratory wheezes. good air movement. cardiovascular examination revealed a rate and rhythm. the abdomen was soft and nontender. a well-healed surgical scar. a small opening in the inferior umbilical area. extremities were thin. no edema or asymmetric swelling. pertinent laboratory values on presentation: white blood cell count was 10.1, his hematocrit was 33.9, and his platelets were 218. sodium was 137, blood urea nitrogen was 11, and his creatinine was 1.1. his albumin was 3.7. his calcium was 9.6. summary of hospital course: on the patient underwent a right pneumonectomy, a radical mediastinal lymph node dissection with a muscle flap. the patient tolerated the procedure well. the intraoperative course was complicated by recurrent hypotension into the low 60s. the patient had an intraoperative transesophageal echocardiogram which showed multiple areas of hypokinesis with tricuspid regurgitation, right ventricular dilatation, and an ejection fraction of 40 percent. however, this was no change from preoperatively. please see the dictated operative note for further details. postoperatively, the patient remained hypotensive with a blood pressure of 94/62 on a neo-synephrine drip. the patient remained intubated. the patient was ultimately extubated on postoperative day three without incident. postoperatively, cardiac enzymes were drawn and the ck/mb fraction was found to range from 3 to 5 postoperatively with a troponin of 0.06. also, on postoperative day one, the patient's temperature spiked to 102.6. the patient had blood, urine, and sputum cultures sent. the blood and urine cultures ultimately came back negative, but the sputum culture later grew out methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus. as a consequence, the patient was placed on vancomycin and was transitioned to linezolid on discharge for a total of a 10- day course. on postoperative day two, the patient's chest tube was removed but he continued to require neo-synephrine to maintain his blood pressure at 99/57. his pulse remained high at 109, and his hematocrit slowly drifted down from a preoperative value of 37.8 to 25.9 on postoperative day three; at which point the patient received a transfusion of 1 unit of packed red blood cells. following this transfusion, the patient's hematocrit bumped to the 28 to 29 range where it remained stable for the remainder of his hospital course. by postoperative day three, the patient's epidural was taken out and he was started on a morphine patient-controlled analgesia. he was able to come off the neo-synephrine, and his blood pressure was maintained at 137/70. diuresis was begun with lasix, and the patient was receiving aggressive chest physical therapy. on postoperative day five, the patient was switched to oral pain medications. chest physical therapy was continued, and the patient was begun on lopressor for his tachycardia. the patient remained afebrile throughout his hospital course following his initial temperature spikes in the intensive care unit. the patient was transferred to the floor late on postoperative day five. on postoperative day six, the patient continued to require aggressive chest physical therapy for his coarse breath sounds and a productive cough. his metoprolol dose was increased ultimately to 100 mg by mouth twice per day. on postoperative day seven, the patient was discharged to a rehabilitation facility with a 7-day course of linezolid and recommendation that the patient receive aggressive chest physical therapy and frequent walking. on the day of discharge, the patient continued to have rhonchi on the left with a productive cough; however, his oxygen saturations were good at 97 percent on 2 liters with a respiratory rate of 20. condition on discharge: good. discharge disposition: to a rehabilitation facility. discharge diagnoses: identical to the admission diagnoses listed in the past medical history with the addition of the following: status post right pneumonectomy, radical mediastinal lymph node dissection and muscle flap on . medications on discharge: 1. linezolid 600 mg by mouth twice per day (times seven days). 2. percocet 5/325-mg tablets one to two tablets by mouth q.4- 6h. as needed. 3. colace 100 mg by mouth twice per day. 4. protonix 40 mg by mouth once per day. 5. furosemide 20 mg by mouth twice per day. 6. ipratropium bromide 2 puffs inhaled four times per day. 7. metoprolol 100 mg by mouth twice per day. , procedure: continuous invasive mechanical ventilation for less than 96 consecutive hours diagnostic ultrasound of heart insertion of endotracheal tube other bronchoscopy transfusion of packed cells radical excision of other lymph nodes diagnoses: other iatrogenic hypotension infection with microorganisms resistant to penicillins alkalosis methicillin susceptible staphylococcus aureus in conditions classified elsewhere and of unspecified site tachycardia, unspecified diseases of tricuspid valve malignant neoplasm of lower lobe, bronchus or lung secondary and unspecified malignant neoplasm of lymph nodes of head, face, and neck Answer: The patient is high likely exposed to

Medical Report: history of present illness: the patient is a 68 year old man with a two week history of increasing shortness of breath admitted to the on where he ruled in for an myocardial infarction. the patient with known cardiomyopathy of unclear etiology with known coronary artery disease by mibi echocardiogram, scheduled for an elective catheterization but had increasing shortness of breath and dyspnea on exertion, therefore admitted prior to his cardiac catheterization and ruled in for non-q wave myocardial infarction. his catheterization at showed 50% left main, left main 80% left anterior descending, 70% right coronary artery with an ejection fraction of 20%. the patient was in congestive heart failure at the time. he was started on dobutamine with relief of symptoms and was transferred to for coronary artery bypass grafting. catheterization done at that time also showed an aortic valvular area of 0.8 cm squared. he has a history of syncopal episodes. therefore his catheterization was to be repeated after arrival at . past medical history: significant for diabetes mellitus, hypertension, cardiomyopathy, elevated lipids. past surgical history: significant for penile prosthesis and l4-5 fusion. medications on admission: insulin 70/30 60 units b.i.d.; plavix 75 mg q.d.; lisinopril 20 mg q.d.; lipitor 10 mg q.d.; digoxin 0.25 mg q.d.; metformin 1000 mg q.d.

chloride 96, carbon dioxide 25, bun 21, creatinine 0.8, glucose 286, pt 14.5, ptt 119.2, inr 1.4. hospital course: the patient was brought to the cardiac catheterization laboratory following his admission to . at that time an intra-aortic balloon pump was placed. the cardiothoracic service was consulted. the patient was accepted for coronary artery bypass grafting +/- aortic valve replacement. on , the patient was brought to the operating room and at that time he underwent coronary artery bypass grafting times two as well as an aortic valve replacement, please see the operation report in full details and summary. the patient had coronary artery bypass grafting times two with the left internal mammary artery to the left anterior descending and a saphenous vein graft to the obtuse marginal 1 as well as an aortic valve replacement with a #23 mosaic valve. the patient tolerated the operation well and was transferred from the operating room to the cardiothoracic intensive care unit. at the time of transfer, the patient had dobutamine at 5 mcg/kg/min. in the postoperative period the patient was noted to have frequent premature ventricular contractions and for that reason he was weaned from his dobutamine and started on milrinone. he was also started on amiodarone drip at that time. the patient remained hemodynamically stable and his intra-aortic balloon pump was weaned and ultimately discontinued on postoperative day #1. on postoperative day #2, the patient remained hemodynamically stable. his sedation was discontinued and he was weaned from the ventilator and successfully extubated. at that time his creatinine was noted to have increased from 0.8 preoperatively to 1.9 on postoperative day #2 to 2.6 on postoperative day #2. the renal service was consulted at that time, and it was felt that the patient was suffering from acute renal failure from acute tubular necrosis. it was also noted that the patient had a distended and tympanitic abdomen with right upper quadrant discomfort. at that time a right upper quadrant ultrasound was done and the general surgery service was consulted. after consultation it was felt that the patient had an ileus. an nasogastric tube was placed and his abdomen was decompressed without further complications. the right upper quadrant ultrasound done at that time showed sludge in the gallbladder. over the next several days the patient remained hemodynamically stable. he was kept in the intensive care unit to allow the resolution of his acute renal failure as well as his ileus. by postoperative day #7 his ileus had resolved and his nasogastric tube was removed. his acute renal failure was stabilized with a creatinine maintaining a steady 2.3. on postoperative day #8 it was felt that the patient was stable and ready for transfer to far-2 for continuing postoperative care and cardiac rehabilitation. once on the floor, the patient was seen daily by physical therapy. with the assistance of physical therapist and the nursing staff the patient's activity level was gradually increased. however, it was noted over the several day period, that the patient was persistently hypertensive with a rise in his creatinine related to that hypertension. the patient's beta blockers were discontinued as was his amiodarone and his diuretics. the foley catheter was placed. the patient was noted to have urinary retention and with the discontinuation of the above-noted cardiac medications, the patient's systolic blood pressure improved from the 80s into the 100 to 110 range. over the next several days, the patient's creatinine was noted to fall from a high of 3.1 to 2.5 range. following consultation with the patient's cardiologist, it was decided to start him again on a low dose beta blocker as well as digoxin and a small dose of lasix. the patient tolerated all of these additions well and on postoperative day #20 it was decided that the patient was stable and ready for discharge to a rehabilitation facility for continuing postoperative care and rehabilitation. at the time of transfer, the patient's condition was stable. his discharge physical examination showed vital signs of

possibility of a myopathy, ck was checked and was normal at 17. esr was 62. for the anti- antibody positivity, a cancer workup was initiated. a ct torso showed a 1.4 cm subcarinal node -> interventional pulm did a transbronchial bx on , unfortunately the results were nondiagnostic. ct surgery consulted and recommended vats, thus she underwent this surgery on and was found to have a neuroendocrine tumor of unknown etiology. final pathology showed a poorly differentiated carcinoma with neuroendocrine features. oncology was consulted. the onc team (attending dr. discussed findings with the family and all are in agreement to start chemotherapy (likely carboplatin and taxol, one cycle q 3weeks, to complete cycles). she was transferred to the for chemotherapy and vent management. she was premedicated with decadron, ativan, anzemet, and benadryl prior to chemo. she then received dosages of taxol and carbaplatin. she tolerated the chemo well and had minimal side effects. she was started on neupogen for marrow support. after chemo her counts remained stable but will need to be monitored on a weekly basis at rehab and the reults should be sent to dr. . her next chemotherapy will be done in three weeks and can be set up through dr. . her white count increased in 23 on the day of admission secondary to neupogen which had been started 2 days prior. gyn: ct torso also showed 2cm adenexal cyst. gynecology was consulted, however patient adamantly refused vaginal ultrasound and gynecologic exam. exam was normal. she was also metronidazole vaginal gel. noted to have some vaginal bleeding which will need to be worked up as an outpatient, if patient desires. patient underwent a bronchoscopy as her trach needed changing (per admission cxr), and no bronchial masses were seen. bal cytology was negative for malignancy. the ct torso also revealed a lll infiltrate, likely her resolving pneumonia diagnosed at s/p antibiotics course. the sicu team placed her on levoquin 750mg qd on thru for unclear reasons. she remained afebrile with normal white count and thus levoflox was discontinued. she continued on the ventilator. she was able to be weaned from a/c to cpap+ps. for the possibility of a myopathy, tsh was checked. it was initially elevated but repeat was normal. free t4 normal, t3 slightly low, tyroid antibody anti tpo was mildly positive at 89, possibly due to sick euthyroid, or x-reaction with anti-?? iron deficiency anemia: stools guaiac negative. continued on iron replacement. also check b12 wuhich was normal. htn: she was continued on lisinopril and amlodipine. she has a questionable history of bilateral renal artery stenosis. her creatinie remained stable throughout the hospital admission. she had some elevated bp's into the 190's so her lisinopril was titrated up. however msut closely monitor her bp has she gets extremely orthostaitsc with massive swings in her bp when going from supine to uprighgt position. this is felt ot be secondary to autonomic dysfunction due to the paraneoplastic syndrome. goal is to keep bp's around 140-160. must closely watch patient during pt and transitions in position for hypotensive events. dvt in : admission inr was subtheraputic, but then became theraputic with several higher doses of coumadin. coumadin was stopped and heparin gtt started when inr<2.0 for procedures (muscle bx, transbronchial bx, vats, lp). coumadin restarted on , heparin gtt to be continued until inr is between . her coumadin was started at 7.5mg, this was then decreased out of concerns of being to high of a dose, but inr did not bump sufficiently thus had to increase coumadin to 10mg qhs. when she reaches goal inr can then stop the heparin. depression: prozac 20mg daily was continued. psychiatry was consulted given her blunted affect and refusal of services. psychiatry recommended keeping prozac at current dose, and to allow her to use the pessimer valve to speak while on the vent. she was unable to tolerate this valve as she became tachypnic, very uncomfortable. fen: tube feeds, vitamins, h2blocker ppx: coumadin/heparin gtt, h2b, pneumoboots, proper wound care for pressure ulcers (right heel

an enteric tube has been placed, limiting the evaluation of prevertebral soft tissue abnormality. again seen is uncovertebral and endplate spondylosis with bilateral neural foraminal narrowing, mild at c5-6 and moderate at c6-7, unchanged from prior exam. there is also ventral spinal canal narrowing at these respective levels, but no cord effacement is identified. bilateral carotid arterial calcifications are noted. a right side central venous line and left-sided cardiac pacemaker lead are present. the right mastoid and the sphenoid air cells contain aerosolized secretions which are likely secondary to recent endotracheal intubation and supine positioning. impression: 1. no fracture or acute alignment abnormality. 2. bilateral neural foraminal and mild ventral canal narrowing at c5-6 and c6-7, unchanged since the study. ct head (repeat) findings: there is no intracranial hemorrhage. the -white matter differentiation is preserved. there is no edema or mass effect. the ventricles and sulci are unchanged in size. again small lacunar infarcts are seen in the left subinsular white matter. the visualized paranasal sinuses demonstrate mild mucosal thickening of the sphenoid sinuses. the mastoid air cells appear clear as do the remaining paranasal sinuses; however, assessment of these structures is limited due to motion artifact. impression: no intracranial hemorrhage or ct evidence for acute cva; mr is more sensitive in detecting acute cva. brief hospital course: 66 yo man with severe systolic chf (ef 20%) and restrictive pulmonary disease, pulmonary htn chf who presents with altered mental status, fevers, respiratory distress and hypotension. . #. hypoxia/respiratory distress: upon initial presentation the patient had increasing peripheral edema, orthopnea, and weight gain over the past week, and clinically appeared hypervolemic, consistent with an acute on chronic chf exacerbation. the initial strategy was to diuresis the patient to euvolemia, with respect to pressure management. he was empirically covered for hcap. the patient was broadly cultured, but no growth at the time of discharge. the patient was continued on conservative management until the 22nd, when the patient was extubated in the morning, without incident. . after extubation, the patient maintained good pulmonary function, presented to have increased secretions. he is required frequent suctioning, hourly. a scopolamine patch was tried initially, but had minimal effect, and it was discontinued for concerned about affecting mental status. . #. nstemi: based on initial laboratory values, the patient ruled in for a non-st segment elevation myocardial infarction with trop 0.78, ck-mb 26, mbi 10.5, ck 247. his electrocardiogram showed mild st segment depression in certain areas, was not initially concerning for coronary artery occlusion. patient was met medically managed, and troponins were followed clinical resolution. there were no dynamic st segment changes on electrocardiogram throughout his stay in the medical intensive care unit. echocardiography was performed during his initial medical intensive care unit stay, which showed an ejection fraction of 25-30%, 2+ mitral regurgitation, trace tricuspid regurgitation, and diffuse hypokinesis globally. there were no additional complications of his myocardial infarction during his intensive care unit stay. the patient will be discharged on , , and metoprolol. . #. hypotension and fever: in the beginning of his course, the patient was initially hypotensive, requiring pressors. these were eventually weaned down, in the face of ongoing diuresis. the patient eventually maintained normal blood pressures. the patient however started to develop fevers, spreading intermittently above 100??????. the patient initially had a central venous line, which was discontinued. the patient was repeatedly cultured for infection, but no sources were found. the ongoing fever, and the setting of joint pain, skin rashes, prompted the differential diagnosis to expand to include vasculitis (see below). the patient has a history of gout, and event though a joint aspirate demosntrated no crystals, given the clinic presentation the patient was started on a solu-medrol (see below). the pain was controlled with tylenol, and dilaudid, to good effect. . #. altered mental status: initially the patient was found to have a fingerstick of 61, but was resuscitated with iv dextrose. after which time the patient was intubated for his infection, and was sedated medically. after extubation however, the patient had prolonged altered mental status. eeg was first performed on , which showed widespread metabolic disturbances, nonspecific findings. repeat ct of the head performed which showed no acute intracranial pathology. mri was unable to be performed due to an implantable cardiac defibrillator. in the emergency department the patient had a negative serum tox screen, and a negative urine drug screen. the patient had no initial signs of focal infection based on physical exam or laboratory findings to explain his altered mental status. . evolving throughout his medical care unit stay, the patient remained encephalopathic, making moaning sounds, and was not interactive with his environment. patient seem to be in mild painful distress at times, exacerbated by movement and certain joints. a repeat eeg was performed, but was not lateralizing or revealing. the working diagnosis for his altered mental status was toxic metabolic insult due to prolonged hypoglycemic. throughout his stay here in the medical intensive care unit the patient was monitored for further bouts of hypoglycemia, and hypotension. the neurology service was consulted, and only specifically recommended iv mineral and vitamin replacement. . #. purpura skin lesion: throughout the medical intensive care unit stay, he developed maculopapular rashes on his upper extremities, concerning for septic emboli or vasculitis. dermatology was consulted, and a bedside biopsy was performed. in addition we sent for vasculitis workup laboratory tests. the results of the vasculitis workup showed no evidence for vasculitis. the skin biopsy demonstrated hemorrhage without imflammatory components. the biopsy site should be covered with vaseline and bandaid, changed daily. the patient should follow up with dermatology as to when to take out the sutures. . #. gout: colchicine was held given elevated cr. the patient's home dose of allopurinol was continued. the patient will be discharged on solumedrol 10 iv daily, until the patient can take po. at which time, the patient should be started on prednisone 7.5mg daily, until his creatinine returns to below 1.8. at that time, prednisone should be discontinued, and the patient should be started on colchicine 0.6mg po every other day. . #. diabetes: the patient was found to be hypoglycemic to 61 on initial evaluation by ems, and remained persistently hypoglycemic despite 2 tubes of glucose until 1 amp d50 was given in the ed. after this initial episode, there were no further episodes of hypoglycemia. the patient was placed on insulin sliding scale to good effect (see attached medication list). his home dose of insulin glargine was continued at 30mg . consider increasing the glargine dose while on solumedrol (see above), if the patient remains hyperglycemic. . #. renal failure: the patient has had a variable baseline cr 1.6-1.8 within the past year but most recent cr in late and early were 2.0-2.1. his cr was currently uptrending to 3.1 secondary to poor forward flow in the setting of his current chf exacerbation. nephrotoxic medications were held. he should follow up with primary care provider regarding his changed in kidney function. . #. cad: s/p cabg . management of nstemi as above . #. ischemic cardiomypoathy: systolic chf, ef 25%. held lisinopril in the setting of hypotension in the ed and elevated cr. . #.

this patient is a 62-year-old woman with ascending weakness and a sensory line in the setting of chronic pulmonary complaints and autoimmune arthritis. the hospital course as narrated according to problem list is as follows: # rapid onset weakness: quickly progressive over the last 48 hours involving the toes to the t2 level, with a lumbar puncture significant for greater than 350 wbcs (see above). the underlying autoimmune arthritis (and possible lung dz), the rapid onset, and the band like abdominal pain was initially believed to be consistent with a transverse myelitis. however the large territory of cord involvement would be unusual for this process. a longitudinal myelitis variant does exist and case reports have suggested association with sjogren's disease. that said, despite positivity for anti-ro and anti- detected earlier on a reflex rheumatologic panel, her constellation of symptoms does not conform to a diagnosis of sjogren's or any other rheumatologic disorder. infectious disease, rheumatology, and neurology were all consulted. an lp and brain mri were performed, with results above. a complete infectious and autoimmune workup, as displayed above, showed only positivity for anti-ro and anti-la but no other serologies. ultimately, a diagnosis of likely-autoimmune longitudinal myelitis was made and she was treated with intravenous steroids. . her neurological examination improved initially but then plateaued, with a persisting t2 sensory level and weakness in the lower extremities with the left worse than the right and the proximal muscles worse than the distal muscles. there was never marked weakenss in her upper extremities except for mild symmetric weakness of the deltoids bilaterally. mental status and cranial nerves remained within normal limits throughout. the patient was transferred from medicine to neurology service for further work-up and management. . the patient continued high-dose iv steroid therapy, and was begun on a regimen of 5 rounds of plasmapheresis. after the third of these treatments, a repeat lumbar puncture suggested improvement in the inflammation with only 1 wbc detected. following the final round of plasmapheresis treatment, the neurological exam was only minimally improved, with motor exam showing lle iliopsoas , quad , ham , tibialis anterior , gastroc 4+/5, and extensor hallucis longis . rle was iliopsoas , quad , ham , tibialis anterior , gastroc , and extensor hallucis longis . the sensory line persisted at t2 but there was trace sensation to light touch and position sense in both lower extremities with the left more than the right. . cyclophosphamide therapy was considered, but a thorough review of the literature suggested that it would confer no benefit to her. she was discharged on a prednisone taper with plan for months of 60 mg daily, with follow-up from pulmonology (dr. ) and neurology (dr. ) at . . # central pulmonary consolidations: the central pattern was atypical (a peripheral pattern, with more prominent interstitial pattern would be more suggestive of ild). the presence of bronchiectasis suggested significant chronicity, consistent with the patient's slowly progressive history of shortness of breath. the central, peri-vascular findings could be consistent with vasculitis. infection was considered but was deemed less likely without fevers and given the atypical distribution. pathology from a wedge resection at hospital was reviewed at the pathology department and was consistent with cryptogenic organizing pneumonia. these slides were obtained and read internally at the where they were confirmed to be classic for cryptogenic organizing pneumonia. . the patient was initially monitored in the medical icu for concern of respiratory involvement of myelitis. the daily nifs and vc remained stable, however. the breathing improved on steroids, which she will continue as an outpatient. due to prolonged therapy, she began, and was discharged on, vitamin d, calcium, a proton-pump inhibitor, and tmp-smx prophylaxis. # abdominal pain: the patient initially presented with a band-like pain, which may have been secondary to the progressive myelitis. the pain may also have been exacerbated by constipation, as she went more than 5 days at a time without moving her bowels. the patient was begun on a regimen of senna, docusate, and milk of magnesia, which she will continue at rehab. # hypertension: this is not an element of the patient's past medical history, but appeared to be new-onset at her initial presentation at hospital. she was started on amlodipine and lisinopril upon transfer to , and her blood pressures improved. # ekg: qtc prolongation, t wave inversion. there were no acs symptoms ever. # normocytic anemia: the patient's baseline blood counts are unclear. elevated ferritin, likely autoimmune disease, and normal mcv suggested an anemia of chronic inflammation. blood counts trended down during the first 10 days of her hospitalization and reached a nadir of hct 27.0, but then began increasing in over the final days in the hospital. # uti: the patient was diagnosed with an enterococcal uti during the hospitalization. she was started on macrobid to complete a 7 day course but then the enteroccous sensitivities came back vancomycin resistant. she was then switched to linezolid to complete a 10 day course (with a recheck cbc in 1 week). # mood: ms. had intermittent periods of low mood associated with the chronic hospitalization. she met with social work on numerous times to help develop coping strategies. she was also started on citalopram 20mg just prior to discharge. medications on admission: medications at home: tylenol prn vit e vit d fish oil medications from osh ceftriaxone 2g iv daily (upped from

he had treated himself with up to 15 tablets of ibuprofen per day for approximately 1-2 weeks when he went to see his podiatrist who felt he was quite ill and advised him to report to the ed. he had also been having 20 bms/day for several days, and was lightheaeded. at the osh, he was found to be hypotensive, hypoxic, profoundly acidemic (ph 6.9), and in acute renal failure. he was intubated and transferred to where he was sent to the micu and given agressive hydration with bicarbonate. he responded rapidly and well with a dramatic improvement in his renal function and acid/base status. past medical history: 1.)gout 2.)gerd 3.) disease 4.)hypertension social history: the patient lives with his wife and youngest son. has a heavy smoking history but recently quit (about 1 month prior to admission). family history: non-contributory physical exam: pe at osh: t 96 p 83 bp 119/60 r 26 o2 100% on 2l, tachypnea, abd is soft, a+ o x 3, warm and dry : t 99.2, bp 128/74, hr 72, rr 16, spo2 97%ra gen- awake, pleasant, obese male in nad heent- anicteric sclera, op clear with mmm cv- rrr, s1s2, no m/r/g pul- moves air well, occasional rhonchi, no wheezes/rales abd- soft, nt, nabs extrm- no cyanosis/edema, right hallux with large ulcer with necrotic debris neuro- a&ox3, cn 2-12 intact, no focal motor/sensory deficits pertinent results: lab at osh: plt 1506, hct 39.8 wbc 34.3( 88 seg 5 lymph 5 bans) , na 137 k 4.8 cl 97 hco 3, bun 167 creat 9.2, bnp 310, alt 48, ast 34, alk phos 110, t bili <0.5, ck 166, ck-mb 14.2 ** mb index 8.6** trop 0.1, pt 13.2 inr 1.2 ptt 33 .. abg on ra: 6.91/13/130 abg repeat 6.99/18/130 lactate 3.2 acteminophen <2, salicylate u/a: tr ketone, 4+ bld, tr le, wbc, 1+ bact, packed rbc.. .. renal u/s (prelim read): no acute abnormality. possible small r nonobstructing nephrolithiasis. no hydronephrosis. r keidney 12.2 cm. l kidney 13.3 in length. cortical thickness 2 cm. .. ekg (osh): nst 80, nl axis, no ischemic st changes cxr (here): ett in good position, l subclavian in good position, ogt, no infiltrate, no edema, no ptx 11:28pm blood wbc-30.3* rbc-3.87* hgb-11.5* hct-33.6* mcv-87 mch-29.7 mchc-34.1 rdw-15.0 plt ct-892* 12:38pm blood wbc-12.6* rbc-3.54* hgb-10.4* hct-29.1* mcv-82 mch-29.4 mchc-35.8* rdw-14.8 plt ct-641* 05:19am blood wbc-12.1* hct-31.5* plt ct-532* 11:28pm blood glucose-189* urean-157* creat-7.6* na-137 k-4.6 cl-101 hco3-6* angap-35* 12:38pm blood glucose-119* urean-115* creat-2.1*# na-143 k-3.1* cl-111* hco3-20* angap-15 05:19am blood glucose-96 urean-20 creat-1.0 na-143 k-3.7 cl-109* hco3-25 angap-13 04:40am blood caltibc-157* ferritn-697* trf-121* 11:28pm blood asa-neg ethanol-neg acetmnp-neg bnzodzp-neg barbitr-neg tricycl-neg 01:48am blood type-mix po2-129* pco2-24* ph-7.09* calhco3-8* base xs--21 01:14pm blood type-art temp-36.7 o2 flow-2 po2-132* pco2-28* ph-7.44 calhco3-20* base xs--3 intubat-not intuba 01:48am blood lactate-1.1 brief hospital course: a/p: 62 year old gentleman, htn, gout, pcv, presents with acute renal failure with significant acidemia. 1.)acute renal failure -- in reviewing the clinical history, urine sediment, fena, and rapid response to fluid hydration, mr. acute renal failure was most likely from severe volume depletion and nsaid abuse. the possibility of atn was entertained, given the severity of the renal function decrement and exorbitant nsaid use, but given the rapid response to fluids, this appeared less likely. as previously mentioned, mr. renal function rapidly improved to baseline function within the first forty-eight hours of admission in response to aggresive fluid hydration and remained there throughout the remainder of his hospital stay. 2.)anion gap metabolic acidosis -- with his highly elevated bun and cr, this was felt to be a uremic acidosis. other possibilities included lactic, alcholic, starvation, or toxic ingestion, yet these all proved incorrect. his acid-base status quickly normalized with iv bicarbonate and improving renal function and remained as such for the ensuing few days of his admission. 3.)hypotension -- without an elevated lactate, fever, tachycardia, ecg changes, or persistently elevated cardiac enzymes, mr. hypotension was attributed to severe volume depletion, corroborated by his excellent reponse to hydration. he remained normotensive off all pressors beginning twenty-four hours into his stay. 4.)leukocytosis -- with an otherwise negative id work-up, this lab finding was felt to be due to both severe hemoconcentration and, potentially, a c. difficile infection, as described below. he was treated for this, with a wbc that normalized and remained stable 72 hours prior to discharge. urine, blood, and sputum cx's remained negative, as did c. diff toxin assay. 5.)thrombocytosis -- in discussion with the pcp, . has a history of essential thrombocytosis and has been intermittently followed by a hematologist as an outpatient. the acute elevation, up to 1000, was probably due to an acute phase reaction; once this resolved, his platelet count declined but still remained slightly elevated. this was discussed with his pcp . , who said that he would arrange for mr. to again be seen by hematology. 6.)right hallux -- during the admission, after his acute issues had resolved, mr. continued to note right toe pain. podiatry was evaluated for a possible paronychial infection, which they agreed with; they debrided the ulcer and drained the pus from around the nail, providing significant relief. mr. will see his podiatrist in one to two weeks. medications on admission: ibuprofen lisinorpil/hctz 10/12.5 mg daily allopurinol 100mg amlodipine 5 omeprazole 20mg discharge medications: 1. metoprolol tartrate 50 mg tablet sig: one (1) tablet po bid (2 times a day). disp:*60 tablet(s)* refills:*2* 2. lisinopril 10 mg tablet sig: one (1) tablet po daily (daily). 3. levofloxacin 500 mg tablet sig: one (1) tablet po q24h (every 24 hours) for 8 days. disp:*8 tablet(s)* refills:*0* 4. pantoprazole sodium 40 mg tablet, delayed release (e.c.) sig: one (1) tablet, delayed release (e.c.) po q24h (every 24 hours). 5. metronidazole 500 mg tablet sig: one (1) tablet po tid (3 times a day) for 20 days. disp:*60 tablet(s)* refills:*0* 6. albuterol-ipratropium 103-18 mcg/actuation aerosol sig: puffs inhalation q6h (every 6 hours). disp:*2 inhalers* refills:*2* 7. oxycodone hcl 5 mg tablet sig: one (1) tablet po q4-6h (every 4 to 6 hours) as needed. disp:*15 tablet(s)* refills:*0* discharge disposition: home discharge diagnosis: acute renal failure metabolic acidosis paronychial infection hypotension diarrhea secondary: buerger's disease hypertension gout gerd discharge condition: good, with improved renal function, acid/base status, and right toe pain. discharge instructions: please return to the emergency department for fevers/chills/drenching sweats, shortness of breath, chest pain, worsening pain or redness in your toe/foot, or other concerning symptoms. follow-up as below. take medications as prescribed. please try to avoid taking medications such as ibuprofen (advil, motrin) in anything greater than the recommended dosage. followup instructions: please follow-up with your pcp, . , in the next week. please see you podiatrist in the next two weeks. if you would like to be seen at dental school, you can call at (. procedure: continuous invasive mechanical ventilation for less than 96 consecutive hours venous catheterization, not elsewhere classified parenteral infusion of concentrated nutritional substances insertion of endotracheal tube arterial catheterization pulmonary artery wedge monitoring injection or infusion of oxazolidinone class of antibiotics diagnoses: pneumonia, organism unspecified esophageal reflux acute kidney failure, unspecified unspecified septicemia severe sepsis gout, unspecified acute respiratory failure hypotension, unspecified septic shock other and unspecified alcohol dependence, continuous nephritis and nephropathy, not specified as acute or chronic, with other specified pathological lesion in kidney alcohol withdrawal polycythemia vera Answer: The patient is high likely exposed to

Medical Report: allergies: ibuprofen attending: chief complaint: left hemiparesis major surgical or invasive procedure: left evd right hemicraniectomy cerebral angiogram for embolization of avm gastrostomy tube placement. history of present illness: this is a 56 year old man known to neurosurgery service for previous avm treated with cyberknife. he had been doing well until he developed l hemiparesis and was taken to osh. ct head showed large r ich and he was intubated and transferred to for further care. past medical history: avm s/p cyberknife treatment social history: non contibutory family history: non contributory physical exam: admission physical examination: intubated, not sedated. no eye opening and does not follow commands. no cough or gag to suction. flexion of bue to noxious and weak withdrawl of ble to noxious. +corneals. perrla 1.5mm-1mm. discharge physical examination : avss nad needs spainish interpretation, eo spont, follows simple commands on rue/rle, withdraws left leg lue no movement pertinent results: head ct without contrast: 1. large right intraparenchymal hematoma with moderate left subfalcine hernia and near-complete effacement of the lateral ventricles. 2. left frontal approach ventriculostomy catheter terminating at the region of the left lateral ventricle. 3. effacement of the quadrigeminal cistern and soft tissue fullness at the foramen magnum is concerning for early transtentorial herniation. cxr as compared to the previous radiograph, the nasogastric tube is now fully visible. the course of the tube is unremarkable, the tip of the tube projects over the distal parts of the stomach, likely to prepyloric region. there is no evidence of complications, notably no pneumothorax. unchanged appearance of the endotracheal tube. normal size of the cardiac silhouette. cxr the tubes are in adequate position. the rest of the exam is unremarkable ct head increased size of right intraparencymal and subarachnoid hemorrahge with increased edema. possible worsening of right transtentorial herniation. unchanged subfalcine herniation. portable head ct - 1. the patient is status post right frontal temporoparietal craniectomy. relatively stable large intraparenchymal hematoma involving the right basal ganglia, associated with prominet draining vessels, vasogenic edema and midline shifting towards the left with approximately 12 mm of deviation. there is no evidence of new areas with intracranial hemorrhage. soft tissue swelling and subcutaneous emphysema is noted in the surgical area. 2. unchanged left ventricular shunt, with the tip at the area of the foramen of , via left frontal burr hole. ct head 1. expected evolution of right frontotemporal parenchymal hematoma with vasogenic edema. 2. similar degree of subfalcine herniation, with no further central herniation. 3. left transfrontal ventriculostomy catheter in unchanged position, with no change in the left lateral ventricular size or surrounding interstitial edema. cxr - as compared to the previous radiograph, there is a newly appeared minimal left pleural effusion. otherwise, the radiograph is unchanged. the monitoring and support devices are constant. normal size of the cardiac silhouette. portable ct head - 1. previously noted frontotemporal parenchymal hematoma with surrounding vasogenic edema, unchanged compared to prior study. 2. similar degree of subfalcine herniation, lateral and third ventricle effeacement with preserved basal cisterns. 3. left transfrontal ventriculostomy catheter in unchanged position. no interstitial edema or change in the left lateral ventricular size 4. no evidence of new hemorrhage or territorial infarction. chest (portable ap) study date of 6:13 pm chest portable: comparison is made to prior examination of . an et tube is identified 2.8 cm above the , ng tube is identified with its tip in the stomach. the left sidehole is within the stomach. the heart size is at the upper limits of normal for a supine portable film. the pulmonary vasculature is normal. there are no pleuraleffusions. the lungs are clear. impression: et tube in appropriate position. ct head w/o contrast study date of 8:19 pm impression: interval coil embolization of known right-sided avm. no evidence of procedure related new hemorrhage. persistent known right intraparenchymal hemorrhage and edema with continuing improvement in mass effect over the course of multiple prior examinations. note added in attending review: the interval embolization has been performed with onyx material, rather than metallic coils. there is persistent or worsening vasogenic edema, with mass effect and transcranial, subfalcine and right uncal herniation, which does not appear significantly improved. there are now also several "wispy" hyperattenuating foci, immediately dorsal, lateral and superior to the embolized nidus (2:19-24), which appear atypical for either post-procedural hemorrhage or contrast extravasation. these may represent onyx material, thrombus, contrast or some combination of the three in the prominent draining vein, demonstrated on the angiogram. portable head ct w/o contrast study date of 7:48 am impression: significant interval change since the post-embolization study obtained roughly 11 hours earlier, with: 1. increasing vasogenic edema with further transcranial herniation. while there is stable subfalcine herniation with "trapping" of the contralateral lateral ventricle, there is persistent significant right uncal herniation with mass effect upon the midbrain. 2. status post embolization with an unusual tubular structure, immediately adjacent to the known avm, which appears to represent acute thrombosis of the dilated principal draining vein at the cranial vertex, as demonstrated by angiography. this may relate to the increasing edema in this region, reflecting new venous hypertension. 3. parenchymal hematoma is overall unchanged. comment: findings were discussed with dr. (neuroradiology fellow), to be relayed to dr.

Medical Report: allergies: patient recorded as having no known allergies to drugs attending: chief complaint: sepsis, respiratory failure major surgical or invasive procedure: right chest tube placement history of present illness: 76 y/o m with pmhx as noted below, transferred to from on with hypoxia, hypotension, and fever. the patient was living independently with his wife prior to when he sufferred a fall on coumadin which led to bilateral sdh/sah and a right mca stroke. the patient required intubation during this first hospital stay secondary to respiratory failure. he subsequently had a tracheostomy and peg placed. the patient developed a mrsa bacteremia and was started on vancomycin. he was discharged to rehab facility in good condition after a month long hospital course. on the patient returned to for headaches and fevers. the patient was found to have a reaccumulated subdural hematoma, a temp to 103.8, and was started on vanc, ceftriaxone, flagyl, (having had completed a fourteen day course of vanco on for mrsa pneumonia) switched to vanco, ceftaz, flagyl on to better cover pseudomonas after subdural hematoma evacuation. the patient was subsequently found to have blood cultures positive for vanco resistent enterococcus facecium and was started on linezolid. urine was negative for infection, chest x-ray showed likely failure and possible pneumonia. the patient was discharged to on . two days prior to admission, the patient was noted to have nausea and vomiting at the rehab facility. on the patient had an episode of sudden desats, hypotension, hypoglycemia with a fsbg of 50 and spiked a fever to 99.2. the patient was brought to the ed via ems. upon arrival he was started on levophed and given an amp of d50. he was empirically started on levo, vanco, and flagyl. a right subclavian line was placed and a resulting pneumothorax was evacuated through right chest tube placement. the patient was resuscitated with 4l ivf and his urine output slowly increased. cxr showed a patchy lll opacity. past medical history: cad s/p mi pvd htn occluded right carotid htn myelodysplasia-s/p tx with procrit and transfusion scc head and neck s/p xrth/o

consistent with small vessel ischemic disease. in addition, there are hypodensities in the subcortical white matter consistent with lacunar infarcts. there is no new acute intracranial hemorrhage or hydrocephalus. grey white matter differentiation appears preserved. echo study date of conclusions: the left atrium is mildly dilated. there is mild symmetric left ventricular hypertrophy. the left ventricular cavity size is normal. overall left ventricular systolic function is normal (lvef 60-70%). no masses or thrombi are seen in the left ventricle. there is no ventricular septal defect. right ventricular chamber size and free wall motion are normal. there are three aortic valve leaflets. the aortic valve leaflets are moderately thickened. there is a minimally increased gradient consistent with minimal aortic valve stenosis. no aortic regurgitation is seen. the mitral valve leaflets are mildly thickened. there is no mitral valve prolapse. mild (1+) mitral regurgitation is seen. there is

thought the patient's respiratory failure was most likely related to a lll aspiration pna (vs chemical pneumonitis). the ddx also included pe but this was considered unlikely since the patient has an ivc filter (placed ). on presentation the patient was placed on ac vent control. at the time of discharge he had successfully been weened to trach mask. with a goal of q3hour suctioning. a red cap was able to be placed over the patient's trach. he could potentially be decannulated at this time, but the presence of the tracheostomy would facilitate assistance with ventilation if the patient should require it. the decision to keep or remove the trach should be left up to the family. 2. history of recent vre: the patient was started on linezolid and will require 2 additional weeks of therapy at the time of discharge on to complete a 6 week course. his platelets will need to be closely monitored given his history of myelodysplasia. 3. fevers: the patient was initially treated for his likely aspiration pna with levo/flagyl. on hd #4, the patient spiked to >101. his left femoral line was d/c. culture of the catheter tip revealed growth of klebsiella pneumo suceptible to zosyn but resistant to levo. the pt was changed to zosyn and was treated for 5 days. at the time of discharge the patient had been afebrile for over 1 week. 4. cv: hx of a fib with rvr and htn. the patient had one

phos-3.5 mg-2.0 micro data: blood, urine, sputum cultures no growth urine cx <10,000 organisms cta : 1) interval development of ground-glass opacity within the left lower lung lobe and left lingula, which in this patient with history of hemoptysis, may represent alveolar hemorrhage. differential diagnosis also includes infection or pulmonary edema. in the bronchus supplying this region of the lung is seen small amount of soft tissue density, which could represent metastatic disease, blood clot or alternatively respiratory secretions. 2) small nonocclusive pulmonary embolus in a branch of the pulmonary artery to the left upper lung lobe. this embolus is located peripherally within the vessel, is nonocclusive, and is therefore likely subacute. dilated bronchial arteries seen within the aortopulmonary window, which could be secondary to chronic pulmonary emboli. 3) no evidence for aortic dissection within the thoracic, abdominal aorta, extending to the bifurcation. 4) unchanged disease status from the ct torso 5 days prior. cxr : no evidence of pneumonia, pleural effusions, or hemothorax. cxr : persistent left lower lobe patchy opacity with small effusion, which may represent pneumonia in this patient with fever. brief hospital course: 1. hemoptysis. the patient underwent emergent bronchoscopy and embolization of left bronchial artery on . post-procedure, the patient was admitted to the micu. on , he underwent another bronchoscopy which revealed old blood clot and endobronchial mass in the superior segment of lll. there was no active bleed. he was called out to the floor on but shortly after the transfer, mr. had another episode of hemoptysis (~400cc). he was then brought back to the micu. thoracic surgery was called to evaluate the patient for pneumonectomy. they thought that he is not a candidate for pneumonectomy. after consultation with surgery and interventional pulmonology, the decision was made to proceed with a more aggressive embolization at this time. on , the patient underwent another ir-guided embolization of the branch of the left bronchial artery that was thought to be the culprit lesion. interventional radiology concluded that the endobronchial lesion seen on ct is unlikely the source of the bleed and therefore another rigid/flexible bronchoscopy was performed for argon coagulation of endobronchial lesion in left superior lingular segment. the patient tolerated the procedure well and is now transferred to the medical floor on . he was monitored overnight and had no further episodes of cough or hemoptysis. the patient was started on codeine for cough suppression. 2. fever. shortly after initial presentation, the patient spiked fever and was transiently treated with levo/vanc empirically for fever but this was discontinued. his blood culture, urine culture, and sputum collected at that time were unreveling. fever was attributed to post-procedural fever/atelectasis. however, the patient continued to have intermittent fevers. he spiked to 100.6 on . cxr was read as patchy lll opacity with small pleural effusion for which pneumonia was in the differential. ua was negative. because the patient was on codeine for cough suppression which could have masked his symptoms and because of his likely immunocompromised status due to malignancy/chemo, the decision was made to treat him empirically with a 7-day course of levaquin. 3. renal cell carcinoma, stage iv. his chemotherapy was discontinued on per his primary oncologist dr. . the patient will follow up with dr. in clinic in approximately one week at which time the need to continue chemo will be discussed. 4. h/o htn. the patient was continued on outpatient dose of atenolol. he was on low sodium diet. 5. h/o peri-operative pe s/p ivc filter placement in remote past. cta revealed subsegmental subacute pe. he was not anticoagulated during this admission given hemoptysis. he also has a h/o gi bleed while on lovenox. had a polypectomy in . however, the risks/benefits of anticoagulation will need to be reassessed if the patient remains stable from bleeding perspective as ivc filters do not offer long-term protection against pe. 6.

the setting of his supratherapeutic inr with inr noted to be 31 on admission. patient with known eosinophilic gastritis with a recent exacerbation and had been on steroids for approximately one day. his gi bleed was thought to be most likely due to his combination of gastritis and steroids in the setting of supratherapeutic inr. a ng lavage was obtained, which was negative. upon arrival in the emergency department, he had a rectal exam, which showed dark blood. he then underwent anoscopy, which showed blood in addition to some nonbleeding internal hemorrhoids. no active source of bleeding was localized. gastroenterology consult was obtained. the patient went for a colonoscopy; and colonoscopy did show some internal hemorrhoids, which were not bleeding, but otherwise normal with visualization to his cecum. he also underwent an egd, which was negative for any active bleed. erosions were seen diffusely throughout the stomach. the proximal bulb did show mild erythema consistent with duodenitis. however, no fresh or old blood was visualized. egd was visualized as normal to the second part of the duodenum. he then underwent an upper gi with small bowel follow-through. this study was also normal with no clear bleeding source localized. given the patient's lack of any further bleeding with normalization of his inr and no clear bleeding source localized with multiple gi studies, decision was made to send the patient home with close monitoring as an outpatient. his aspirin and steroids were held given concerns that this could have contributed. he is to have close follow-up with gastroenterology for further monitoring. throughout the hospital stay, the patient did receive several units of blood, which he tolerated well, and his hematocrit was stable with this. eosinophilic gastritis: patient with history of eosinophilic gastritis with difficult to control symptoms over the previous year. he had recently been started on steroids given his acute exacerbation of nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea for the previous month. upon admission, steroids were held given concern for his gi bleed and he did have mild diarrhea. during his egd, a biopsy of his stomach was obtained, which did return as consistent with eosinophilic gastritis as per his previous diagnosis. the patient is to follow up with gi as an outpatient with possible consideration of the initiation of steroids for symptomatic relief should his symptoms otherwise remain stable. coagulopathy: patient admitted with supratherapeutic inr of 31. he reports he had been taking his home dose of coumadin as directed and denies any medication or dietary noncompliance. his coumadin was withheld, and his inr was reversed with multiple units of fresh frozen plasma. he also received vitamin k. his inr did normalize following this. given the lack of any clear source of gi bleeding, coumadin was held with a decision for him to follow up with his outpatient pcp to discuss restarting coumadin. hematoma: patient with multiple central line placement attempts in the setting of an elevated inr. felt multiple hematomas including small groin hematomas bilaterally and a large right subclavian hematoma. vascular surgery was consulted and ultrasound was obtained, which was negative for pseudoaneurysm. his inr was reversed as per above. serial exams of the hematoma showed it to be stable and gradually decreasing in size. he is to follow up as an outpatient with vascular. thrombocytopenia: platelets trended down soon after admission. his coumadin was held and ________ antibody was done, which was negative. his platelets then gradually trended back up off his coumadin. anemia: patient with acute anemia in the setting of gi bleed. please see above for further details. he received a total of eight units of blood, which he tolerated well, and his hematocrit responded appropriately. cardiovascular: patient with atrial fibrillation on amiodarone, beta-blocker, and coumadin. his coumadin was held in the setting of gi bleed. he was continued on iv amiodarone and beta-blocker. he remained in normal sinus rhythm. he had ________ ischemic cardiomyopathy with an ef of 35 to 45 percent. initially, his lasix was held, as was his beta-blocker and ace in the setting of his hypotension, but as these resolved, his home medications were added back, which he tolerated well. psychiatric: patient with chronic pain. he was continued on methadone and neurontin as per his outpatient regimen with percocet for breakthrough pain. he did well on this regimen. acute renal failure: the patient presented with a creatinine of 4.9 from a baseline of 2.4. this was thought to be improving in the setting of gi bleed and hypotension. he received fluid and blood product resuscitation as per above. in addition, his lasix and antihypertensives were held. his creatinine gradually returned to his baseline, and he had no further renal issues. his electrolytes remained stable. copd. no active copd

the patient's head laceration was intially managed with stapling to control bleeding. the patient was electively intubated in the ed for waxing and mental status in an effort to protect her airway. the decision to intubate she was then taken to the ct scanner where the initital head ct was negative, chest ct was negative, plain tls spine films were negative and the ct of teh abdomen showed a small cyst versus splenic laceration. ct and plain film of the pelvis demonstrated bilateral superior pubic rami fractures with minimal displacement,left acetabular fracture with minimal displacement, left inferior pubic ramus fracture, and a left s1 fracture. patient had some tachycardia and decreased blood pressure whcih responded to 2l of iv fluids, however given bp<100 and tachycardia, and low hematocrit patient was given two units of packed red blood cells. pateint also received cryoprecipitate for a low fibrinogen. orthopedic surgery and plastic surgery were consulted and the patient was admitted to the surgical intesnive care unit. plastic surgery revised forehead laceration repiar with 5.0 monocril ddep sutures and simple 5.0 nylon sutures. devitalized tissue was debrided. hd#2 - tls spine were cleared. patient was extubated. orthopedic surgery recommended non-operative management of pelvic fractures and nwb of left lower extremity and wbat of right lower extremity. lovenox was also recommend as dvt prophylaxsis when patient was cinically stable. pt continued receiving cefazolin prophylactically for her wounds. ng tube was discontinued hd#3 - patient's hematocrit began to trend down to 20.1 from 27.6 and she was transfused with two units of packed red blood cells. her urine output also decreased and in addtion to prbcs, she receieved a fluid bolus. her post-transfusion hct increased to 33. cefazolin was discontinued, her foley catheter reained in. she continued to reveive pepcid, sc heparin, and pneumoboots as prophylaxsis. orthopedics and plastic surgery continued to follow the patient, as did social work and physical therapy. hd#4 - patient was transferred to the floor. she now was complaining only of left shoulder and low back pain. her diet was advnaced to clears and her hematocrit was followed closely and found to be stable. throughout the day her diet was advanced. a question of possible c1-c2 rotary subluxatoin was ruled out with a ct of c-spine in rotation which demonstrated normal and appropriate motion. soft collar for comfort and support only was recommended by the on-call spine attending. hd#5 - patient continued to improve. foley was removed. she was afebrile with stable vital signs. she continued to ambulate with physical therapy, although she did become somewhat lightheaded with ambulation and tachycardic(orthostatic vital signs were negative). she was given increased iv fluids as her po intake of fluid was slighly low. her hematocrit remained stable. hd#6 - she continued to tolerate a regular diet. c/o of some head "throbbing." but continued to have no nausea and vomiting, remained alert and oriented, had no photophobia. plastic surgery removed her sutures. when she ambulated with pt she again became tachycardic, but was asymptomatic with no cp, lightheadedness, or symptoms other than pain. she was not orthostatic. hr decreased at rest. medications on admission: none discharge medications: 1. oxycodone-acetaminophen 5-325 mg/5 ml solution sig: 5-10 mls po q4-6h (every 4 to 6 hours) as needed. disp:*150 ml(s)* refills:*0* 2. enoxaparin sodium 40 mg/0.4ml syringe sig: one (1) subcutaneous qd (once a day) for 4 weeks. disp:*qs * refills:*0* discharge disposition: home with service facility: all care vna of greater discharge diagnosis: pelvic fracture forehead laceration left clavicle fx concussion grade i splenic laceration discharge condition: stable discharge instructions: 1) please call doctor for increasing confusion, nausea/vomiting, lightheadedness, pallor, pain not controlled by mediation, fever greater than 101, increased redness/swelling/or foul smelling drainage from wound, or any other concerns. 2) please take pain medications as needed for pain. 3) please follow-up with plastic surgery, trauma surgery, and orthopedic surgery as recommended below. 4) please take lovenox as instructed by nurses to prevent blood clots for 4 weeks. 5) bear weight on right leg as tolerated, no weight bearing on left followup instructions: 1) follow up with dr. of orthopedics in 2 weeks. please call ( for appointment. clinic is located on of building. 2) please follow-up with plastic surgery one week from this tuesday on . please call ( for appointment. clnic is located on of building. 3) please follow-up in the trauma clinic one week from this tuesday on to reevaluate splenic laceration. call ( for appointment. clinic is located w/lmob 3a. 4) please follow-up with pediatrician in weeks. procedure: continuous invasive mechanical ventilation for less than 96 consecutive hours insertion of endotracheal tube excisional debridement of wound, infection, or burn closure of skin and subcutaneous tissue of other sites transfusion of packed cells other suture of muscle or fascia transfusion of coagulation factors diagnoses: acute posthemorrhagic anemia open wound of forehead, without mention of complication contusion of thigh other motor vehicle traffic accident involving collision with motor vehicle injuring driver of motor vehicle other than motorcycle tachycardia, unspecified closed fracture of sacrum and coccyx without mention of spinal cord injury closed fracture of pubis closed fracture of clavicle, unspecified part closed fracture of acetabulum injury to spleen without mention of open wound into cavity, unspecified injury open wound of finger(s), with tendon involvement concussion, unspecified Answer: The patient is high likely exposed to
