Admission history and physical is on the
patient’s chart for close review.
HOSPITAL COURSE:
The patient was transported by Promedica Air from emergency room to hospital
where he went directly to the operating room. He had a trauma evaluation
postop in the Neuro ICU. CT of the head from hospital showed left-sided
subdural with a possible skull fracture. CT of the C-spine was negative
for acute injury. The patient had an extraventricular drain in place
status post procedure, was intubated and sedated. The following day #2,
the patient had a CT abdomen and pelvis for solid organ injury or free
air. The following hospital day #3, the patient had a repeat CT head,
which showed decrease in the size of the subdural with persistent left
frontotemporal subarachnoid hemorrhage. The patient remained intubated
and sedated. On hospital day #5, the patient’s C-spine was cleared per
Neurosurgery. He had another repeat head CT, which showed a slight
increase in the subarachnoid hemorrhage and edema after the midline shaft of
the right. Extraventricular drain was removed and replaced.
Following day with hospital stay day #6, the patient’s hemoglobin was low; he
received 1 unit of packed red blood cells and had adequate response to
this. Following hospital day #7, the patient’s extraventricular drain was
removed.
Next day, hospital stay #8, the patient had
another repeat head CT, which showed a decrease in the subdural, small frontal
intraparenchymal hemorrhage. Following day of stay #9, the patient was
extubated and had and EEG performed, which showed encephalopathy, swelling and
a potential for performed, which showed encephalopathy, swelling and a
potential for seizures, the patient remained in the ICU. PM and R consult
was obtained, which recommended the patient go to ECF versus inpatient. The
following day #10, the patient remained in the Neuro ICU. The patient had
an inferior vena cava filter placed without complications. The following
day #11, the patient had a GI consult for possible PEG placement. They
refused secondary to the patient’s history of portal hypertension and
esophageal varices. In hospital day #12, the patient was stable.
Neurologically, had been the same since extubation, which is not moving left
side showing left side neglect and was transferred to the Stepdown Unit.
The next hospital stay #14, the patient had a swallow study performed, which he
passed and was placed on dysphagia 2 with nectar-thickened liquid diet.
Discharge planning was continued for Extended Care facility. On hospital
day #15, the patient remained hemodynamically stable, still had some left-sided
neglect and was tolerating his dysphagia 2 diet and was deemed ready for
discharge by our services involved. The patient was discharged to
Extended Care Facility. There was a community referral form, which was
filled out for information on medications and follow up in 3 weeks with Dr. and
the Extended Care Facility was informed to call physician if temperature above
101, chest pain, or shortness of breath.

CONDITION ON DISCHARGE:
Stable to ECF.
Vital signs on the date of discharge, temperature 98.1 degrees, pulse rate 77, respirations 20, and blood pressure 117/48.
RECOMMENDATIONS: For activity, as tolerated; for diet, low−salt, cardiac diet.
MEDICATIONS UPON DISCHARGE: To include Combivent two puffs four times a day, aspirin 325 a day, Lipitor 40 mg a day, Plavix 75 mg a day, demeclocycline 150 mg twice a day for the SIADH, Imdur 30 mg a day, and Lopressor 25 mg twice a day.
There was a chest x−ray on March 12, 2009, which revealed mild cardiomegaly and streaky densities at the left lung base and right mid lung, hyperinflation with coarse interstitial lung markings similar to prior studies, COPD less likely. Please note the 12−lead EKG failed to reveal any axis deviation or Q wave. However, chest x−ray was ordered, results were still pending by the time of discharge. We would want the results to the patient's primary care physician. Lipitor was actually discontinued by the physician of Cardiology and Zocor 40 mg a day was replaced instead.

REASON FOR CONSULTATION:
Severe epistaxis.
HISTORY OF PRESENT ILLNESS: The patient is an 82−year−old white male who presented this morning to hospital ER on 03/20/2009 with severe left−sided nasal epistaxis. He was seen by the ER physician. At that time, an anterior Rapid Rhino pack was placed in the left nasal cavity; however, he continued to bleed. ENT was re−consulted and I was requested to see the patient. The patient has had intermittent nosebleeds for many months secondary to the fact he is on Coumadin and that he has a known septal perforation, often these nosebleeds stopped spontaneously at home with nasal pressure. This recent nosebleed started that morning and that is why the patient presented to the emergency room.
PAST MEDICAL HISTORY:
1. Squamous cell carcinoma, right piriform sinus.
2. Coronary artery disease.
3. GERD.
4. Hypercoagulopathy.
5. Anxiety.
6. Environmental allergies.
7. Hypercholesterolemia.
8. Hypertension.
9. Cataracts.
PAST SURGICAL HISTORY:
1. Pacemaker.
2. DL with esophagoscopy on 6/8/2007 by Dr. .
3. DL with biopsies on 9/27/2007.
MEDICATIONS: Isosorbide, Xanax, Pravachol, aspirin, Prilosec, Altace, Klor−Con, and Coumadin.
ALLERGIES: None.
SOCIAL HISTORY: Socially, denies tobacco or alcohol use.
REVIEW OF SYSTEMS: The patient denies any fevers, chills, fatigue, and weight loss. PULMONARY: No shortness of breath, COPD. CARDIOVASCULAR: No palpitations. GI: No abdominal distress. GU: No dysuria.

REVIEW OF SYSTEMS: The patient denies any fevers, chills, fatigue, and weight loss. PULMONARY: No shortness of breath, COPD. CARDIOVASCULAR: No palpitations. GI: No abdominal distress. GU: No dysuria.
PHYSICAL EXAMINATION: He is
alert, awake, oriented. He is in
mild distress secondary to the
severe epistaxis. Examination of the face
revealed a pack in his left nasal
cavity. Ear canals are clean and dry.
Oral mucosa is pink and moist. Tongue
is mobile. Neck is supple. No
lymphadenopathy.
PROCEDURE: Placement of left anterior−posterior nasal pack.
PROCEDURE: Placement of left anterior−posterior nasal pack.
The patient was lying
in the supine position. The previous
pack was removed from
the left nasal cavity. A
7.5 cm Rapid Rhino anterior−posterior
pack was moistened in sterile saline
and placed in the left
nasal cavity and advanced into
the nasopharynx. We then inflated over
half an hour with approximately
25 cc of air. During
that time, the patient's nose bleed significantly
reduced in severity; however, due to
the fact the patient has a
history of a pacemaker and has
evidence of a life−threatening nosebleed,
we were going to admit the patient
to the ICU.
ASSESSMENT: Epistaxis.
PLAN: At this point, the patient will be admitted to the ICU for monitoring. We will get Hematology and Cardiology see the patient also. The patient has a history of pacemaker and possibly a hypercoagulable state. At this point, my question for both Hematology/Oncology and Cardiology is that if this patient can be left off the Coumadin. His Coumadin use has resulted in severe nasal epistaxis over the last few months. At this point, we hope we would find some alternative medication for him.
Thank you for allowing me to participate in the care of the patient.

ADMITTING DIAGNOSIS:
Acute coronary syndrome.
DISCHARGE DIAGNOSIS: Acute coronary syndrome.
DISCHARGE DIAGNOSIS: Acute coronary syndrome.
HISTORY OF PRESENT ILLNESS:
The patient is a 63−year−old
Hispanic male who presents to the
emergency room with complaints of
increasing chest pain. The patient actually
had been seen in the office
about 2−3 weeks prior to that for
a cold. He reports the cold symptoms
have improved. At the time of his cold,
we set him for some physical, lab,
and EKG. The patient reported that
earlier in the day of 3/20/2008, he
developed some chest pain when he was
moving some shingles. The patient reported
he lifted a bundle of shingles, put
it on the back of
his truck moving it only 5 feet
or so. He had to wait 5 or 10
minutes before he could pick up the
next bundle and then he will get
short of breath and have to wait
another 5 minutes before he can pick
up the third bundle. As a result
of this, he decided that he should get
the test done, so he came to
the hospital where his blood
work was done and
EKG done. EKG was faxed to our
office with patient already left while
the time we got the results. It
was abnormal and so we called the
patient, got hold of
his daughter−in−law and told her to
send him to the Emergency Room. It
was informed in the emergency room
that he was coming. The
patient was then
admitted.
The patient was ruled in for MI. His troponin did go up. He was seen by Cardiology who agreed that this seemed to be cardiac in nature. Initially, we had done an echocardiogram, which showed a decreased ejection fraction, but the cardiologist was not sure whether this is all old and then he did not have any viable heart muscle tissue. He wanted to do a PET scan before revascularizing. Unfortunately, we cannot do the PET scan here as an inpatient and so we decided that the best thing would be to transfer him to where he can get further care. The patient did undergo a heart cath here, which showed a distal left main lesion, a proximal LAD lesion 80% circumflex was 90%, and RCA was 100% and an ejection fraction of around 30% on the cath.
DISCHARGE DIAGNOSES:
1. Acute coronary syndrome.
2. History of colon cancer.
3. Hypertension.
4. Hypercholesterolemia.
5. History of previous myocardial infarction.

DISCHARGE DIAGNOSES:
1. Liver metastasis.
2. Sepsis.
3. Gastric carcinoma.
4. Pleural effusion.
5. Protein malnutrition.
6. Neutropenia.
7. Delirium.
HOSPITAL COURSE: The patient was admitted on January 2009 1/29, with increasing nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, and abdominal distention in the setting of progressive hepatic metastasis from gastric carcinoma. Additional history per HPI.
PHYSICAL EXAM: Weak, chronically ill appearing.
Blood pressure 128/80, pulse 70, he is 96 with orthostatic changes noted in HPI, respirations 22−24. HEENT: Scleral icterus. Pharynx dry. Oral mucosa, no ulcers. LUNGS: Scattered crackles at base. COR: S1 and S2, regular. ABDOMEN: Distended with increased hepatomegaly and tenderness in abdomen without rebound or guarding. Bowel sounds are normal. Markedly distended abdomen with shifting dullness. EXTREMITIES: No cyanosis or clubbing. Trace edema.
LABORATORY DATA: Bilirubin 3.1 with alkaline phosphatase 428, ALT 131, AST 146, albumin 9.8, mild neutropenia.
HOSPITAL COURSE: The patient was placed on IV Procalamine, Percocet, and MS Contin for pain control along IV morphine for breakthrough pain. He was given Neupogen for neutropenia with a plan for possible chemoembolization for marked hepatic metastasis both for pain control and reduction in tumor burden. He continued to have abdominal pain and was reviewed with the interventional radiologist and he was placed on vitamin K. For elevated PT, he received both vitamin K and FFP. In addition, for hyponatremia developing on Procalamine, normal saline was added to his fluids. As noted, he continued on Neupogen for neutropenia. On 01/31, he underwent right hepatic embolization for progressive tumor, which he tolerated well. He had only moderate abdominal pain and fever, but otherwise was stable. He continued to receive Neupogen for neutropenia and was cultured for fever. His temperature rose to 101.7, and in the setting of persistent neutropenia, he was started on IV Fortaz along with continued Neupogen. Because of increasing abdominal pain, which was unrelieved with oral pain medicine, he was switched to Duragesic and IV morphine boluses. His cultures were returned positive for ? Pseudomonas and he was seen in consultation by Infectious Disease. Because of the adequacy of Fortaz, this was continued when Cipro was added to maximize coverage for possible Pseudomonas. He was told it was returned positive for Pseudomonas resistant to Fortaz, he was placed on Merrem. His course was complicated by intermittent hypotension for which he received fluids and albumin because of concern for marked reduction in serum albumin in the setting of his underlying hepatic dysfunction. His Neupogen continued with correction in his neutropenia, but he became increasingly confused, felt to be secondary to delirium in the setting of both infection and metastatic cancer. He was seen in GI consultation in light of the planned prior endoscopy, which was held in light of his progressive disease and the absence of indication for more aggressive followup care at that time.
He continued to deteriorate with increasing weakness and delirium, remained on his antibiotic course and received continued support with both IV fluids, pain control, and periodic sedation for anxiety. He had a followup chest x-ray, which revealed new evidence for an infiltrate, felt to be possible on aspiration basis. Cultures were obtained. He continued on his regimen, but vancomycin was added to broaden coverage for possible Staph. However, he remained on antibiotics with a bump in his white count of 31,000 and his Neupogen has been discontinued at that time. It was felt to be at least partly infection plus rebound from neutropenia. Throughout this time, he continued deteriorating with progressively decreased mental status and confusion, and his care switched to predominantly supportive care. He was made DNR after discussions with his wife.
His antibiotics were discontinued after a full course, and he continued to receive intermittent Lasix for abdominal distention and excess fluid. Attention in the setting of hypoalbuminemia, he received oxygen for decreased respiratory status in the setting of his confusion and delirium, and remained on both fluids and Procalamine throughout the course.
Discussion of TPN was raised, but this was felt to not be appropriate in light of his underlying illness and poor prognosis. He underwent a paracentesis for comfort because of marked ascites on 02/11, which he tolerated well. He actually had some improvement in his overall mental status and his fluids were reduced, and he was begun on chest physical therapy and was out of bed briefly. His antibiotics were all discontinued on 02/13, although he remained seriously ill. His p.o. intake briefly improved. On 02/16, he developed acute onset of hemoptysis with melena and bright red bleeding. The hemoptysis was felt to be secondary to progressive gastrointestinal bleeding from his underlying tumor. Discussions about the propriety of transfusion were raised with the family was decided to give him transfusion and to discontinue all anticoagulant therapy from his prior PE. His ascites worsened over the next several days. His hematological status stabilized after transfusion without further hemoptysis. Because of his progressive deterioration, he was placed on increased morphine for pain control and comfort, and he slowly deteriorated becoming unresponsive. On 2/19, at 20:40, he was found without blood pressure, pulse, and was declared at that time.

Nephrological treatment was not planned.
2. Labile hypertension:
The patient's labile hypertension was felt
to be due to essential
hypertension with intermittently low
and then high blood
pressures due to the use
of short−acting anti−hypertensive agents. Plasma−free
catecholamines were sent for evaluation on
03/12/2009, and were pending at the
time of this dictation. I do not
think that that the patient
is a candidate for
operation on pheochromocytoma even in
the likely event that such a
diagnosis is made. The patient's blood
pressure was much better controlled on
the regimen, which is dictated
below.
3. Possible cecal

I was diagnosed as HEPATITIS B carrier in 2013 with fibrosis of the
ReplyDeleteliver already present. I started on antiviral medications which
reduced the viral load initially. After a couple of years the virus
became resistant. I started on HEPATITIS B Herbal treatment from
ULTIMATE LIFE CLINIC (www.ultimatelifeclinic.com) in March, 2020. Their
treatment totally reversed the virus. I did another blood test after
the 6 months long treatment and tested negative to the virus. Amazing
treatment! This treatment is a breakthrough for all HBV carriers.
