His creatinine came down to 1.2 and he was given the new beta-blocker and the ACE inhibitor as well as baclofen 10 mg p.o. t.i.d., Caltrate 600 Plus D one tablet p.o. b.i.d., ferrous sulfate 325 mg p.o. t.i.d., gabapentin 300 mg p.o. t.i.d., NPH human insulin 54 units in the morning, 68 units in the evening, Regular Insulin sliding scale, levofloxacin 500 mg p.o. daily, magnesium oxide 420 mg p.o. t.i.d., metoprolol 12.5 mg p.o. b.i.d., oxybutynin 5 mg p.o. t.i.d., Panafil ointment t.i.d., and ranitidine 500 mg p.o. b.i.d. He was admitted with severe sepsis due to UTI, suprapubic catheter/ostomy for 12 years, diabetes type II, right DVT, on Coumadin, status post chronic UTI, and CPAP at night for pneumonia with ceftazidime, levofloxacin, and vancomycin. His sugars were controlled with no complications and was able to maintain blood pressures in the 130's. His creatinine was initially 2.7, and after receiving IV fluids, it came down to 1.2. He likely had acute renal failure secondary to postrenal obstructive etiology. His INR was found to be therapeutic and he had half of his home Coumadin dose while he was on levofloxacin, so he was given half of dose and his INRs came down to a nadir of 1.7. At discharge, his hematocrit was 27.2, down from 29, which was closed to his baseline of 34, and his INR was 2.1. He was placed on maintenance IV fluids until cleared to eat by Speech and Swallow, and was given amitriptyline 25 mg p.o. at bedtime, vitamin C 500 mg p.o. daily, baclofen 10 mg p.o. t.i.d., Caltrate 600 Plus D one tablet p.o. b.i.d., ferrous sulfate | has there been a prior ranitidine | {

Mr. Gerache is a 59 yo man with poorly controlled diabetes and asthma who presented with chest pain. He had intermittent chest pain with activity lasting 5 minutes, relieved with rest, as well as shortness of breath when climbing stairs. Cardiac catheterization showed LAD prox 40%, no LCX lesions, no RCA lesions, and R PDA mid 30% lesion. Beta blocker was started, cholesterol was checked (elevated triglycerides 308, total cholesterol 146, HDL 29), statin was started and aspirin was held because of the patient's stated allergy to aspirin (causing asthma type symptoms). He was started on low-dose lisinopril and no prior echo was considered as outpatient. Patient was continued on home regimen of NPH insulin but clearly needs better control of his sugars as outpatient. Hemoglobin A1c is 10.7 and he will need better control of his sugars as outpatient. He has had asthma as a child and no record of PFTs but should obtain as outpatient, with home inhalers continued. Mr. Gaulding currently has good renal function but needs to have his Cr checked after starting the lisinopril.

The patient is an 83-year-old female with a history of coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) in 1993, a left main and diagonal percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA) with cypher stent, and a bare metal stent in the diagonal for recurrent chest pain. She was admitted for possible myocardial infarction due to anginal pain, however 3 sets of negative cardiac enzymes and no EKG changes ruled this out. She woke up at 5am with substernal epigastric pain, which was unclear if it was angina or esophageal spasm. She took Maalox and 3 nitroglycerin (NTG) with pain that responded to nitro, blood pressure (BP) dropped 140s to 90s but came right back. Admitted medications included ECOTRIN (Aspirin Enteric Coated) 325 mg PO QD, Atenolol 50 mg PO QD, Ferro-Sequels 1 tab PO QD, Lisinopril 30 mg PO QD, Pravachol (Pravastatin) 80 mg PO QHS, Norvasc (Amlodipine) 5 mg PO QD, Imdur ER (Isosorbide Mononitrate (SR)) 120 mg PO QD, Pilocarpine 2% 1 drop OU BID, Bactrim DS (Trimethoprim/Sulfamethoxazole Double Strength) 1 tab PO BID x 12 doses starting today (10/19), Clobetasol Propionate 0.05% Cream TP BID, Allegra (Fexofenadine HCL) 60 mg PO QD, on order for Allegra PO (ref #483093734), Alphagan (Brimonidine Tartrate) 1 drop OU BID, Plavix (Clopidogrel) 75 mg PO QD, Calcium Carbonate 1,500 mg (600 mg elem Ca)/Vit D 200 IU 1 tab PO QD, Zetia (Ezetimibe) 10 mg PO QD, Metformin 250 mg PO BID, Aciphex (Rabeprazole) 20 mg PO QD, and Plavix, BB, ACE, statin, Zetia.

This 90+-year-old male with a complex past medical history including CAD, CHF, AF and diabetes mellitus presented to the SICU for removal of chronically MRSA-infected mesh from prior abdominal surgery. He was intubated with etomidate, succinylcholine and kept sedated with Versed and fentanyl. He received intraoperative vancomycin and levofloxacin as well as 2200 mL of lactated Ringer's. In an attempt to reverse anticoagulation, one unit of FFP was begun but then aborted due to hypotension, which resolved with epinephrine injection, likely due to transfusion reaction. Another unit of FFP was administered, with platelets also given at the request of the Plastic Surgery Team in light of aspirin and Plavix, which were continued due to the patient's cardiac stents. Despite bolus Lasix, the patient did develop CHF with symptomatic pulmonary edema and increased oxygen requirement, concomitantly becoming delirious. He developed hypertension refractory to beta-blockade, calcium channel blockers and IV ACE inhibitors, and was thus placed on a nitroglycerin drip, a furosemide drip with ginger blood product resuscitation to address bleeding and an elevated INR, responding well to this regimen and aggressive pulmonary toilet. The patient was advanced to clear liquids, on medications including Amiodarone 200 mg p.o. daily, Calcium, Colace 100 mg by mouth t.i.d., Coumadin alternating doses of 4 mg and 3 mg, Diltiazem CD 360 mg p.o. daily, Aspirin 81 mg p.o. daily, Folate 1 mg p.o. daily, Lisinopril 10 mg p.o. daily, Metamucil p.r.n., Clopidogrel 75 mg p.o. daily, Potassium, Protonix 40 mg p.o. daily, Simvastatin 80 mg p.o. daily, Synthroid 25 mcg p.o. daily, Thiamine 100 mg p.o. daily, Metoprolol SR 100 mg p.o. b.i.d., Zyprexa 2.5 mg at bedtime p.r.n., and Vancomycin for MRSA-infected mesh. He does experience more significant delirium with morphine and less so with sparing Dilaudid p.r.n., and Haldol is written p.r.n. as needed. Weaning off nitroglycerin drip, nitro paste added, hematocrit 25%, one unit of packed red blood cells with Lasix and potassium to be given, RISS, and PICC line consult ordered for anticipated long-term vancomycin. Services following the patient include Medicine, Dr. Harcar, patient's PCP, Cardiology, Dr. Pagliari, and Plastic Surgery, Dr. Dunshie.

This 81-year-old Italian-speaking gentleman was admitted to M Valley Medical Center with rising chest pain. Upon admission, his vital signs were normal and his physical examination was unremarkable. Cardiac catheterization revealed 30% mid RCA occlusion, 40% distal RCA, 90% ostial OM1, 90% mid CX, 80% proximal LAD, 99% mid LAD and 60% mid LM. EKG showed normal sinus rhythm and an incomplete right bundle-branch block. During his hospital stay, he was started on beta-blockers, statins, fluid resuscitation and vasopressor administration, subcu insulin, prednisone, Plavix, and antibiotics. He experienced agitation and delirium, for which he was on alcohol drip due to preop history of alcohol use and Haldol was used p.r.n. Later during the hospital stay, he became hypotensive, requiring Tylenol suppository 650 mg every 6 hours, Toradol orally 10 mg every 4 hours as needed for pain, Haldol liquid 1 to 3 mg orally every 4 hours as needed for agitation, and Morphine liquid 5 to 20 mg orally every 2 hours as needed for pain and for shortness of breath. He was also on Lopressor 25 orally every 6 hours, Diltiazem 125 mg orally daily, Furosemide 20 mg orally daily, Methylprednisolone 30 mg IV every 8 hours, Atorvastatin 80 mg orally daily, Allopurinol 100 mg orally daily, Ativan 0.5 mg orally at bedtime, Nexium 20 mg orally daily, and Proscar 5 mg orally every night. Tight glycemic control was maintained with Portland protocol in the immediate postop period and subsequently with subcu insulin. Incidental radiologic finding of a renal mass consistent with renal cell carcinoma was also found. Support for the patient's family was provided throughout the hospital course, and the patient was discharged with Tylenol suppository 650 mg every 6 hours, Toradol orally 10 mg every 4 hours as needed for pain, Haldol liquid 1 to 3 mg orally every 4 hours as needed for agitation, Nexium 20 mg everyday, and Morphine liquid 5 to 20 mg orally every 2 hours as needed for pain and for shortness of breath. | Has this patient ever tried nexium | {

An electrocardiogram (ECG) showed 98 bpm with left anterior fascicular block (LAE) and strain. A chest CT scan from 8/18 (comparing to 4/30) showed per pulm c/w scarring/persistent changes after recent multifocal PNA 4/30, no e/o of new primary lung path, and ground glass c/w pulmonary edema. An echocardiogram showed an ejection fraction (EF) of 25%, moderate right ventricular (RV) dysfunction, and severe tricuspid regurgitation (TR). A follow-up cardiac MRI from 10/16 showed an EF of 23%, global hypokinesis, no wall motion abnormality (WMA), normal RV, and no valve disease. In the ED, he received Duonebs, ASA 325, and Lasix 80mg. His shortness of breath was secondary to CHF exacerbation and fluid overload with no evidence of an infectious pulmonary process contributing to his symptoms. His hypertension was most likely due to taking the wrong dose of Coreg (taking QOD instead of BID). On a BID Coreg regimen, his BP was much better controlled. His renal function remained stable but impaired while he was being evaluated for dialysis as an outpatient but no vascular access was placed yet.

Ms. Halnon is a 67-year-old female with multiple medical comorbidities and a past medical history significant for cardiac transplant in 1993, and hip replacement in July 2005, complicated by wound infection, and need for prolonged rehabilitation who presented from Port Medical Center to Ephma Mersources Ni Memorial Hospital with three days of progressive worsening shortness of breath. Upon admission, her mental status was borderline, but it improved with discontinuation of standing analgesic and decreasing of her clonazepam. A head CT showed no acute processes. She had a right upper arm cellulitis and urinary tract infection on screening urinalysis. She was anemic and was found to be vancomycin resistant Enterococcus positive, but repeated cultures demonstrated MRSA negative. For her heart failure, she was diuresed with IV and transitioned to oral torsemide and they entered discharge dose of torsemide 200 mg p.o. twice per day. She was given a five-day course of levofloxacin (used to address recurrent UTI) and then a two-day course of Ancef, her cellulitis was initially treated with levofloxacin and transitioned to Bactrim based on antibiogram sensitivities. A long-term Foley was placed for comfort with catheter in place. While on Bactrim for her UTI, her creatinine rose from 1.5 to 1.6, but cleared with this regimen. For her chronic anemia, the patient was continued on iron (which was increased to three times per day) and darbepoetin, folate was added. She was asymptomatic from her chronic anemia. She was given two units of packed red blood cells in March, 2005, and two more units on February, 2006. Her admission weight was 133 kg and her creatinine was 1.6. At discharge, she was hemodynamically stable, afebrile, and breathing comfortably on three liters of oxygen. Her discharge medications included Vitamin C 500 mg twice per day, Imuran 25 mg daily, PhosLo 667 mg three times per day, clonazepam 0.25 mg twice daily, iron sulfate 325 mg three times per day, folate 1 mg daily, Dilaudid 2 mg every six hours as needed for pain, lactulose 30 mL four times per day as needed for constipation, prednisone 5 mg every morning, Sarna topical every day apply to affected areas, multivitamin daily, Coumadin 2.5 mg daily, goal INR 2 to 3, zinc sulfate 220 mg daily, Ambien 5 mg before bed as needed for insomnia, torsemide 200 mg by mouth two times per day, cyclosporine 50 mg twice daily, Colace 100 mg twice daily, insulin NPH 14 units every evening, insulin NPH 46 units every morning, esomeprazole 20 mg once per day, DuoNeb 3/0.5 mg inhaled every six hours as needed for shortness of breath, Aranesp 50 mcg subcutaneously once per week, NovoLog sliding scale before meals, Lexapro 20 mg once per day, Maalox one to two tablets every six hours as needed for upset stomach, and Lipitor 20 mg once per day. Outstanding issues include following INR the goal of 2 to 3, following weight and clinical signs of volume overload, following up on loose stools for possible Clostridium difficile infection, and following clinical signs for evidence of urinary tract infection treating with antibiotics as necessary. | Why does the patient take duoneb | {

This 90+-year-old male with a complex past medical history including CAD, CHF, AF and diabetes mellitus presented to the SICU for removal of chronically MRSA-infected mesh from prior abdominal surgery. He was intubated with etomidate, succinylcholine and kept sedated with Versed and fentanyl. He received intraoperative vancomycin and levofloxacin as well as 2200 mL of lactated Ringer's. In an attempt to reverse anticoagulation, one unit of FFP was begun but then aborted due to hypotension, which resolved with epinephrine injection, likely due to transfusion reaction. Another unit of FFP was administered, with platelets also given at the request of the Plastic Surgery Team in light of aspirin and Plavix, which were continued due to the patient's cardiac stents. Despite bolus Lasix, the patient did develop CHF with symptomatic pulmonary edema and increased oxygen requirement, concomitantly becoming delirious. He developed hypertension refractory to beta-blockade, calcium channel blockers and IV ACE inhibitors, and was thus placed on a nitroglycerin drip, a furosemide drip with ginger blood product resuscitation to address bleeding and an elevated INR, responding well to this regimen and aggressive pulmonary toilet. The patient was advanced to clear liquids, on medications including Amiodarone 200 mg p.o. daily, Calcium, Colace 100 mg by mouth t.i.d., Coumadin alternating doses of 4 mg and 3 mg, Diltiazem CD 360 mg p.o. daily, Aspirin 81 mg p.o. daily, Folate 1 mg p.o. daily, Lisinopril 10 mg p.o. daily, Metamucil p.r.n., Clopidogrel 75 mg p.o. daily, Potassium, Protonix 40 mg p.o. daily, Simvastatin 80 mg p.o. daily, Synthroid 25 mcg p.o. daily, Thiamine 100 mg p.o. daily, Metoprolol SR 100 mg p.o. b.i.d., Zyprexa 2.5 mg at bedtime p.r.n., and Vancomycin for MRSA-infected mesh. He does experience more significant delirium with morphine and less so with sparing Dilaudid p.r.n., and Haldol is written p.r.n. as needed. Weaning off nitroglycerin drip, nitro paste added, hematocrit 25%, one unit of packed red blood cells with Lasix and potassium to be given, RISS, and PICC line consult ordered for anticipated long-term vancomycin. Services following the patient include Medicine, Dr. Harcar, patient's PCP, Cardiology, Dr. Pagliari, and Plastic Surgery, Dr. Dunshie.

The patient is a 58-year-old female with chronic renal insufficiency, diabetes mellitus, hypertension, and anemia who presented with two weeks of diffuse abdominal pain that acutely worsened one day prior to admission with associated nausea, nonbloody emesis, and chills. She was initially given a seven-day course of ciprofloxacin and oxycodone for pain, but stopped taking them after developing constipation. She currently presents with complaints of diarrhea and was given ampicillin 2 g IV, gentamicin 80 mg IV, Flagyl 500 mg IV and 8 units of insulin. She was put on levofloxacin, vancomycin, and Flagyl as her left foot had been encasted with evidence of underlying infection, and her blood cultures grew MRSA, which is presumed to need eight weeks of vancomycin. She was put on erythromycin with a change to Reglan on 8/6/06 per renal or liver disease and kept on Compazine for nausea. Later, it was determined that the patient was iron deficient and she was put on iron supplementation and darbepoetin initially and changed to erythropoietin later during dialysis. She was maintained on aspirin, a statin, and calcium channel blocker, and started on prophylactic beta-blocker during her hospital course. Her insulin regimen was titrated to good glycemic response, and she was kept on heparin and Nexium. Other medications included Tylenol 650 mg p.o. q.4. p.r.n. headache, Colace 100 mg p.o. b.i.d., Dilaudid 0.4-0.8 mg p.o. q.4. p.r.n. pain, Insulin NPH human 20 units subq b.i.d., Lopressor 50 mg p.o. q.i.d., Senna tablets two tabs p.o. b.i.d., Norvasc 10 mg p.o. daily, Nephrocaps one tab p.o. daily, Insulin Aspart sliding scale subq a.c., Lipitor 80 mg p.o. daily, Protonix 40 mg p.o. daily, Vancomycin 1 g IV three times a week, Reglan 5 mg p.o. q.a.c., Reglan 5 mg p.o. q.h.s., Compazine 5-10 mg p.o. q.6h. p.r.n. nausea, Ergocalciferol 50,000 units p.o. q. week for six weeks, Aspirin 81 mg p.o. daily, Heparin 5000 units subq t.i.d., and Lactulose 30 mL p.o. q.i.d. p.r.n. constipation. | Has this patient ever been treated with ciprofloxacin | {

Mrs. Wetterauer is a 54-year-old female with coronary artery disease status post inferior myocardial infarction in March of 1997, with sick sinus syndrome, status post permanent pacemaker placement, and paroxysmal atrial fibrillation controlled with amiodarone; also with history of diabetes mellitus and hypertension. On 1/11, she experienced severe respiratory distress and was unable to be intubated on the field. She was ultimately intubated at Sirose, and an echocardiogram showed an ejection fraction of 25 to 30 percent with flat CKs. She was diuresed six liters and a right heart catheterization showed a pulmonary artery pressure of 40/15, wedge of 12, and cardiac output of 5.2. Hemodynamics indicated her cardiac output was dependent on her SVR. At the outside hospital, a right upper lobe infiltrate was noted and she was given gentamicin 250 mg times one, and clindamycin 600 mg. She was diagnosed with pneumonia and treated with clindamycin, which caused resolution of her white count. She was also given Solu-Medrol 40 mg intravenous q.6 hours for possible asthma, and had an increase in her Lasix and lisinopril dose, as well as her amiodarone. Her last admission was on 10/6 for atypical chest pain, and she was placed on Bactrim Double Strength b.i.d. times a total of seven days, as well as Lovenox 60 mg b.i.d., aspirin 325 p.o. q.d., lisinopril 40 mg p.o. b.i.d., digoxin 0.25, Lopressor 100 mg b.i.d., Zantac, Albuterol, Flovent, Solu-Medrol, and amiodarone 300 mg once a day. Home medications include amiodarone 200 mg p.o. q.d., Glyburide 5 mg p.o. q.d., Lopressor 50 mg p.o. b.i.d., Prempro 0.625/2.5 p.o. q.d., lisinopril 40 mg p.o. q.d., Coumadin, nitroglycerin sublingual, Zantac, beclomethasone, and Ventolin. Medications on transfer, Lovenox 60 mg b.i.d., aspirin 325 p.o. q.8, digoxin 0.25, Lopressor 100 mg b.i.d., Zantac, Albuterol, Flovent, Solu-Medrol, and amiodarone 300 mg once a day. The patient was also placed on Tapazole 10 mg p.o. b.i.d., Zantac 150 mg p.o. b.i.d., Coumadin 5.0 mg p.o. q.p.m., Bactrim Double Strength one tablet p.o. b.i.d., Tapazole 10 mg p.o. b.i.d., Zantac 150 mg p.o. b.i.d., Coumadin 5.0 mg p.o. q.p.m., Bactrim Double Strength one tablet p.o. b.i.d., Glyburide 5 mg p.o. q.d., Lasix 20 mg p.o. q.d., atenolol 150 mg p.o. q.d., diltiazem CD 240 mg p.o. q.d., and resolved with 20 mg of Lasix p.o. q.d. Mrs. Wetterauer was admitted to the Aley Coness-o Meoak Medical Center for paroxysmal atrial fibrillation controlled with amiodarone, and had an increase in her Lasix and lisinopril dose, as well as her amiodarone. She was also given Solu-Medrol 40 mg intravenous q.6 hours for possible asthma. For her anxiety, the patient was treated acutely with Ativan and her problem resolved quite well, and she became more comfortable in the hospital. Diabetes Mellitus was managed with Glyburide held initially on admission, covered with insulin sliding scale, and restarted on discharge. Edema was managed with Lasix 20 mg p.o. q.d. and resolved with 20 mg of Lasix p.o. q.d. Urinary Tract Infection was managed with antibiotics. She was discharged with medications including amiodarone 200 mg p.o. q.d., lisinopril 40 mg p.o. b.i.d., Tapazole 10 mg | What treatments has patient been on for pneumonia in the past | {

Ms. Dozois is a 64-year-old female admitted to MICU on 2/19/2005 for neutropenia, nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, and shortness of breath, requiring intubation and pressors. Her medical problems included severe COPD (on home O2 2 liters baseline sat below 90s), nonsmall cell lung cancer (diagnosed in 1999, status post multiple chemotherapy regimens, most recently ALIMTA from 1/29/2005 to 09), diabetes, obesity, and chronic renal insufficiency. Her MEDICATIONS ON ADMISSION included Avapro, Lipitor, Decadron, ranitidine, Humalog, allopurinol, Alimta, Flonase, Vitamin D, B12, and Colace. She was initially treated with vancomycin, Levaquin, and aztreonam along with Flagyl empirically, and later changed to Levaquin only on 10/25/2005 to treat an enterococcal UTI and possible nosocomial pneumonia. She had thrombocytopenia and required multiple red blood transfusions to maintain her hematocrit greater than 26, though she was never hemodynamically unstable. She also required multiple platelet transfusions to keep her platelets greater than 30,000. She responded well initially to three units of packed red blood cells over 7/28/2005 and 09. However, in the setting of her GI bleed from a sloughing mucosa secondary to resolving neutropenic enteritis and recent chemo, she required multiple further RBC transfusions to keep her hematocrit greater than 30. Hematology was consulted secondary to suboptimal busted platelet levels status post transfusions, which was felt to be secondary to poor marrow response in the setting of recent chemo (workup was negative for other possible causes refractory thrombocytopenia, nystatin, allopurinol, were held given possible worsening of her thrombocytopenia). Surgery was consulted and she was managed conservatively with antibiotics initially and then with bowel rest. TPN was started on 4/21/2005, given her bowel rest for a neutropenic enteritis. She was changed to standing insulin on 10/25/2005 and her Lantus was up titrated along with sliding scale insulin to maintain blood sugars in the 80s to 120s.

Mr. Gramby is a 43-year-old man with morbid obesity, type II diabetes, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, chronic renal insufficiency, and severe peripheral arterial disease status post femoral popliteal bypass in July which was complicated by repeated return of cellulitis x 2 who was admitted with cellulitis and volume overload. He was initially treated with courses of intravenous nafcillin and vancomycin for four weeks, having been seen by Vascular Surgery five days prior to admission and had been started on dicloxacillin for a third episode of cellulitis. He had also presented with fluid overload and spironolactone was added to his diuretic regimen. The patient was prescribed Atenolol 100 mg q.d., spironolactone, torsemide 160 mg b.i.d., Hyzaar 50/12.5 q. day, lisinopril 60 mg q. day, Neurontin 1200 mg t.i.d., Norvasc 10 mg q.a.m. and 5 mg q.p.m., Coumadin 8 mg, aspirin, Humalog sliding scale, Percocet, Pletal 100 mg b.i.d., Procrit, Zantac, nitroglycerin p.r.n., and NPH 80 q.a.m. and q.p.m. His torsemide was changed to IV and metolazone was added on the first day of admission and his electrolytes were replaced as needed. He was hypertensive on arrival, which was treated with Hydralazine initially and transitioned to his p.o. home medicines, with Hydralazine p.o. added on hospital day #9 to lower his systolic blood pressure to the range of the 120s-130s. His Coumadin was restarted when his INR was 2.2 and he his now in the therapeutic range and will need to be followed. The patient is on NPH and Humalog, with NPH doses increased to 90 units in the morning and 85 units at night, and the goal for this patient is below 150 particularly given the need for wound healing. Additional antibiotic coverage was added specifically of fluoroquinolone for anti-psuedomonal coverage for his diabetic foot ulcers, with surgical debridement done in the operating room with drainage of pus, but the metal showed could not be located even with fluoroscopy. The patient will complete a 14-day course of levofloxacin and clindamycin for these foot ulcers, and will be discharged home with visiting nursing care for b.i.d. wet-to-dry dressing changes.

Ms. Dozois is a 64-year-old female admitted to MICU on 2/19/2005 for neutropenia, nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, and shortness of breath, requiring intubation and pressors. Her medical problems included severe COPD (on home O2 2 liters baseline sat below 90s), nonsmall cell lung cancer (diagnosed in 1999, status post multiple chemotherapy regimens, most recently ALIMTA from 1/29/2005 to 09), diabetes, obesity, and chronic renal insufficiency. Her MEDICATIONS ON ADMISSION included Avapro, Lipitor, Decadron, ranitidine, Humalog, allopurinol, Alimta, Flonase, Vitamin D, B12, and Colace. She was initially treated with vancomycin, Levaquin, and aztreonam along with Flagyl empirically, and later changed to Levaquin only on 10/25/2005 to treat an enterococcal UTI and possible nosocomial pneumonia. She had thrombocytopenia and required multiple red blood transfusions to maintain her hematocrit greater than 26, though she was never hemodynamically unstable. She also required multiple platelet transfusions to keep her platelets greater than 30,000. She responded well initially to three units of packed red blood cells over 7/28/2005 and 09. However, in the setting of her GI bleed from a sloughing mucosa secondary to resolving neutropenic enteritis and recent chemo, she required multiple further RBC transfusions to keep her hematocrit greater than 30. Hematology was consulted secondary to suboptimal busted platelet levels status post transfusions, which was felt to be secondary to poor marrow response in the setting of recent chemo (workup was negative for other possible causes refractory thrombocytopenia, nystatin, allopurinol, were held given possible worsening of her thrombocytopenia). Surgery was consulted and she was managed conservatively with antibiotics initially and then with bowel rest. TPN was started on 4/21/2005, given her bowel rest for a neutropenic enteritis. She was changed to standing insulin on 10/25/2005 and her Lantus was up titrated along with sliding scale insulin to maintain blood sugars in the 80s to 120s. She is no longer neutropenic and was off Neupogen for one week and will stay and finish the 14-day course of Levaquin for coverage. On discharge her hematocrit and platelets were stable respectively at 29.8 and 46,000 and she had not required a transfusion in greater than 24 hours prior to discharge. Her DISCHARGE MEDICATIONS included Tylenol 650 to 1000 mg PO q. 6h PRN pain, headache, if fever is greater than 101, Peridex mouth wash 10 mL twice a day, nystatin mouth wash 10 mL swish and swallow 4 x day as needed, oxycodone 5 mg PO q. 6h PRN pain, simethicone 80 mg PO q.i.d.

This is a 40 year old, gravida VI para V, black female with an EDC of 3/18/90 at 29 weeks gestation who was admitted for blood sugar control for gestational diabetes and had a fasting blood sugar of 150. She had no other complaints during this pregnancy and had received RhoGAM 4/15/90. She had a past history of hyperthyroidism, status post partial thyroidectomy in 1976 on Synthroid 0.015 mg daily, endometriosis with right salpingo-oophorectomy in 1976, and other previous pregnancies. On admission, she was taking Synthroid and vitamins. On physical examination, her vital signs were stable, HEENT exam was normal, neck was supple, no adenopathy, thyroid full, scar present from partial thyroidectomy, lungs were clear, cardiac exam revealed a normal S1 and S2, no murmurs or gallops, breasts were without masses, abdomen was obese and gravid, cervix was long, thick and closed, extremities were without edema, and deep tendon reflexes were 1-2+. A finger stick blood sugar was 115 with her last meal being at noon. The impression was 29 weeks gestation with gestational diabetes admitted for glucose control, status post partial thyroidectomy and anemia. The plan was to admit her and check q4h blood sugars, begin an ADA diet and possible insulin. The patient was seen by the endocrinology service on admission and begun on a diet. Her blood sugars continued to be high with a fasting in the 120-150 range, so she was begun on insulin and was managed by the endocrinology service and controlled well on the insulin over the next several days, with her fasting blood sugar coming down to eventually 100-95 on 9/30/90. She was discharged home on insulin ten units of regular qAM and 16 units of regular and 16 units NPH qPM with follow-up to be with Dr. Gorneault of the endocrinology service. | When was the last time that the patient received insulin | {

This is a 66-year-old man with spinal sarcoidosis and secondary paraplegia who presented with altered mental status, hypoxemic respiratory failure, and hypotension. He became hypotensive with intubation despite using etomidate with Levophed, and was started on vancomycin, gentamicin, Flagyl, and stress dose steroids with 1 liter of IV fluid. His urine was found to have Proteus, resistant to Macrobid, and Klebsiella, resistant to ampicillin, so he was started on Levophed with a systolic blood pressure in the 130's on 7 to 10 of Levophed and Levofloxacin was continued at 500 mg per day for a total 10-day course on in the evening, Regular Insulin sliding scale, levofloxacin 500 mg p.o. daily, to end on 10/16/2006 for a total course of 10 days. Urology replaced the suprapubic catheter and he was started on maintenance IV fluids until cleared to eat by Speech and Swallow. His home medications included Regular Insulin sliding scale a.c. and at bedtime, NPH 54 units in the morning and 68 units in the night, baclofen 10 mg t.i.d., amitriptyline 25 mg at bedtime, oxybutynin 5 mg t.i.d., gabapentin 300 mg t.i.d., iron sulfate 325 mg t.i.d., vitamin C 500 mg daily, magnesium 420 mg t.i.d., Coumadin 5 mg daily, ranitidine 150 mg b.i.d., and calcium 950 mg daily. He was given a head CT without contrast and a chest x-ray that showed no obvious infiltrate. His INR was found to be elevated and he had a suprapubic catheter obstruction with bilateral hydronephrosis and distended bladder. He was given Nexium and Coumadin for prophylaxis and was started on a low dose of captopril on 8/14/2006 for diabetes, and was started on 12.5 mg b.i.d. metoprolol on 0/14/2006 with good results. He was given NPH 20 b.i.d. through his hospitalization and Regular Insulin sliding scale. His creatinine came down to 1.2 and he was given the new beta-blocker and the ACE inhibitor as well as baclofen 10 mg p.o. t.i.d., Caltrate 600 Plus D one tablet p.o. b.i.d., ferrous sulfate 325 mg p.o. t.i.d., gabapentin 300 mg p.o. t.i.d., NPH human insulin 54 units in the morning, 68 units in the evening, Regular Insulin sliding scale, levofloxacin 500 mg p.o. daily, magnesium oxide 420 mg p.o. t.i.d., metoprolol 12.5 mg p.o. b.i.d., oxybutynin 5 mg p.o. t.i.d., Panafil ointment t.i.d., and ranitidine 500 mg p.o. b.i.d. He was admitted with severe sepsis due to UTI, suprapubic catheter/ostomy for 12 years, diabetes type II, right DVT, on Coumadin, status post chronic UTI, and CPAP at night for pneumonia with ceftazidime, levofloxacin, and vancomycin. His sugars were controlled with no complications and was able to maintain blood pressures in the 130's. His creatinine was initially 2.7, and after receiving IV fluids, it came down to 1.2. He likely had acute renal failure secondary to postrenal obstructive etiology. His INR was found to be therapeutic and he had half of his home Coumadin dose while he was on levofloxacin, so he was given half of dose and his INRs came down to a nadir of 1.7. At discharge, his hematocrit was 27.2, down from 29, which was closed to his baseline of 34, and his INR was 2.1. He was placed on maintenance IV fluids until cleared to eat by Speech and Swallow, and was given amitriptyline 25 mg p.o. at bedtime, vitamin C 500 mg p.o. daily, baclofen 10 mg p.o. t.i.d., Caltrate 600 Plus D one tablet p.o. b.i.d., ferrous sulfate | has there been a prior amitriptyline | {

Ms. Leezer is a 50 year-old woman with a history of end stage renal disease, status post renal transplant, and a history of coronary artery disease, status post coronary artery bypass grafting. She had an episode of chest pain which was relieved by Nitroglycerin and passed out while saying goodbye to her husband, as well as several episodes of skipped heart beats during and after which she feels short of breath, and slurred speech for a few minutes. On admission her temperature was 98.8, pulse 96, blood pressure 120/70, and respirations 18. During her stay she was given a 250 cc fluid bolus, transfused two units of blood and her hematocrit went up to 31. Laboratory data revealed a sodium of 137, potassium 4.4, chloride 104, bicarbonate 15, BUN 86, creatinine 3.1, ALT 6, AST 11, alkaline phosphatase 44, bilirubin total 0.4, direct bilirubin 0.1, calcium 9.5, cholesterol 360, and HDL 40. An exercise tolerance test MIBI was performed, which was negative for ischemia, and the patient's ejection fraction was approximated to be 69%. Carotid noninvasives revealed moderate internal carotid plaque on the right and mild stenosis of the other arteries. An echocardiogram revealed concentric left ventricular hypertrophy with an ejection fraction of 65%. The patient was taken to Electrophysiology Study which revealed nonsustained ventricular tachycardia with possible right ventricular outflow tract origin. It was hoped that she could be maintained on Lopressor and Verapamil; however, her blood pressure did not tolerate the medication, so she was already on Atenolol for Beta blockade and Verapamil was tried. Her discharge medications included Aspirin 81 mg p.o. q. day, Vitamin C 100 mg p.o. q. day x14 days, Epogen 2,000 subcu q. week, Lasix 60 mg p.o. q. day, Gemfibrozil 300 mg p.o. b.i.d., Lisinopril 5 mg p.o. q. day, Prilosec 20 mg p.o. q. day, Prednisone 5 mg p.o. on even days, 10 mg p.o. on odd days, MVI with minerals one tablet p.o. q. day, Thiamine 50 mg p.o. b.i.d., Bicitra 15 ml p.o. b.i.d., Nephrocaps one tablet p.o. q. day, Cyclosporine 125 mg p.o. in the morning and 100 mg p.o. in the afternoon, Insulin sliding scale, Cellcept 1,000 mg p.o. b.i.d., and Prempro 0.625/0.25 mg p.o. q. day. Her triglycerides were checked during the hospitalization and found to be very high in the 1,500 range, so she was taken off Simvastatin and started on Gemfibrozil.

The patient is a 61-year-old man with a history of ischemic cardiomyopathy and congestive heart failure, who was initially treated with afterload reduction, digoxin and Lasix. A PA line was placed with RA 8, RV 76/4, TA 80/36, pulmonary capillary wedge pressure 34, and cardiac index 1.49. He was then treated with dobutamine, intravenous TNG, and nitroprusside with symptomatic relief and hemodynamic stabilization with wedge pressure falling to 18. TNG and Nipride were successfully weaned, however, the patient remained dobutamine dependent. One week prior to transfer, the patient was admitted to Ment Hospital for management of his congestive heart failure and grew gram positive cocci from two blood cultures. He was then started on vancomycin and defervesced, and subsequently grew gram negative rods in one out of four blood culture specimens. These were gram negative enteric rods, pan-sensitive, for which the patient was started on ampicillin 2 gm IV q. 6. At the time of discharge, the patient was stable, dobutamine dependent, without chest pain, able to ambulate from chair to commode without shortness of breath, palpitations, or light-headedness. His medications at time of discharge included dobutamine at 15 mcg per kilogram per minute; captopril 25 mg p.o. t.i.d.; digoxin 0.125 mg p.o. q.d.; Lasix 160 mg p.o. b.i.d.; potassium chloride 20 mEq p.o. b.i.d.; Coumadin 1 mg p.o. q.d.; Atrovent, two puffs q.i.d.; Azmacort, eight puffs b.i.d.; Pepcid 20 mg p.o. b.i.d.; Colace 100 mg p.o. t.i.d.; vancomycin 1 gm q. 12, discontinued 9-23 a.m. after 14 days; ampicillin 2 gm IV q. 6 (24 of June equals day number five); Halcion 0.125 p.o. q.h.s. prn; Serax 15 mg p.o. q. 6 hours prn.

The patient is a 64 year-old gentleman with a history of chest discomfort, dyspnea on exertion and fatigue who was scheduled for a coronary artery bypass grafting. He had cardiac catheterization at Ryhoagberg Spisus Community Hospital on November, 1999 which demonstrated a 30% tapering lesion of the left main coronary artery, 70% proximal lesion of the left anterior descending coronary artery, 80% lesion distal to D1, 100% occlusion of his left circumflex and a 100% occlusion of his right coronary artery. On March, 1999, he underwent coronary artery bypass grafting times three with a left internal mammary artery to the left anterior coronary artery, saphenous vein graft to the aorta and a saphenous vein graft from the obtuse marginal to the aorta. His intraoperative course was uncomplicated and he was weaned to extubation and he was treated with stress steroids to prevent steroid withdrawal. He was taken back to the operating room for bleeding and was reintubated and was returned in good and stable condition to the intensive care unit on renal Dopamine. He was again extubated and was seen in consultation by the Gastrointestinal Service for a question of gastrointestinal bleed since there was a clot seen on the transesophageal echocardiogram probe at its withdrawal from his first surgery. The Gastrointestinal Service saw any evidence of any upper gastrointestinal bleed and he was maintained on H2 blockers. He was sent to the step down unit on routine postoperative day number two and his Captopril was increased for afterload reduction. He continued to improve and continued to have care for his respiratory situation with continued diuresis and nebulizer treatments and ambulation. He was discharged to the care of Dr. Lou Pineault at Potmend Rehabilitation Hospital, Moorlberl Street with medications including Prednisone 5 mg p.o. twice a day, Enteric coated aspirin 325 mg p.o. q. day, Zantac 150 mg p.o. twice a day, Niferex 150 mg p.o. twice a day, Atrovent nebulizer 0.5 mg four times a day, Timolol eye drops 0.5% one drop in both eyes twice a day, Atenolol 25 mg p.o. twice a day, Captopril 12.5 mg p.o. three times a day, Lasix 40 mg p.o. q. day, Potassium SR 20 mEq p.o. q. day, Simvastatin 40 mg p.o. q. day, and Ibuprofen 200-800 mg as needed for pain q.4-6h. | Has the patient ever been on prednisone | {

Mrs. Wetterauer is a 54-year-old female with coronary artery disease status post inferior myocardial infarction in March of 1997, with sick sinus syndrome, status post permanent pacemaker placement, and paroxysmal atrial fibrillation controlled with amiodarone; also with history of diabetes mellitus and hypertension. On 1/11, she experienced severe respiratory distress and was unable to be intubated on the field. She was ultimately intubated at Sirose, and an echocardiogram showed an ejection fraction of 25 to 30 percent with flat CKs. She was diuresed six liters and a right heart catheterization showed a pulmonary artery pressure of 40/15, wedge of 12, and cardiac output of 5.2. Hemodynamics indicated her cardiac output was dependent on her SVR. At the outside hospital, a right upper lobe infiltrate was noted and she was given gentamicin 250 mg times one, and clindamycin 600 mg. She was diagnosed with pneumonia and treated with clindamycin, which caused resolution of her white count. She was also given Solu-Medrol 40 mg intravenous q.6 hours for possible asthma, and had an increase in her Lasix and lisinopril dose, as well as her amiodarone. Her last admission was on 10/6 for atypical chest pain, and she was placed on Bactrim Double Strength b.i.d. times a total of seven days, as well as Lovenox 60 mg b.i.d., aspirin 325 p.o. q.d., lisinopril 40 mg p.o. b.i.d., digoxin 0.25, Lopressor 100 mg b.i.d., Zantac, Albuterol, Flovent, Solu-Medrol, and amiodarone 300 mg once a day. Home medications include amiodarone 200 mg p.o. q.d., Glyburide 5 mg p.o. q.d., Lopressor 50 mg p.o. b.i.d., Prempro 0.625/2.5 p.o. q.d., lisinopril 40 mg p.o. q.d., Coumadin, nitroglycerin sublingual, Zantac, beclomethasone, and Ventolin. Medications on transfer, Lovenox 60 mg b.i.d., aspirin 325 p.o. q.8, digoxin 0.25, Lopressor 100 mg b.i.d., Zantac, Albuterol, Flovent, Solu-Medrol, and amiodarone 300 mg once a day. The patient was also placed on Tapazole 10 mg p.o. b.i.d., Zantac 150 mg p.o. b.i.d., Coumadin 5.0 mg p.o. q.p.m., Bactrim Double Strength one tablet p.o. b.i.d., Tapazole 10 mg p.o. b.i.d., Zantac 150 mg p.o. b.i.d., Coumadin 5.0 mg p.o. q.p.m., Bactrim Double Strength one tablet p.o. b.i.d., Glyburide 5 mg p.o. q.d., Lasix 20 mg p.o. q.d., atenolol 150 mg p.o. q.d., diltiazem CD 240 mg p.o. q.d., and resolved with 20 mg of Lasix p.o. q.d. Mrs. Wetterauer was admitted to the Aley Coness-o Meoak Medical Center for paroxysmal atrial fibrillation controlled with amiodarone, and had an increase in her Lasix and lisinopril dose, as well as her amiodarone. She was also given Solu-Medrol 40 mg intravenous q.6 hours for possible asthma. For her anxiety, the patient was treated acutely with Ativan and her problem resolved quite well, and she became more comfortable in the hospital. Diabetes Mellitus was managed with Glyburide held initially on admission, covered with insulin sliding scale, and restarted on discharge. Edema was managed with Lasix 20 mg p.o. q.d. and resolved with 20 mg of Lasix p.o. q.d. Urinary Tract Infection was managed with antibiotics. She was discharged with medications including amiodarone 200 mg p.o. q.d., lisinopril 40 mg p.o. b.i.d., Tapazole 10 mg | Is the patient currently or have they ever taken antibiotics. | {

The patient is a 74-year-old male with a history of acute inferior myocardial infarction in February of 1998 and total occlusion of the mid circumflex with fresh thrombus, complicated by postmyocardial infarction atrial fibrillation with Mobitz type I block, now admitted following syncopal episode. At admission, the laboratory data was significant for a creatinine of 1.6 and a potassium of 5.1. Blood count was normal, CK 39, and cardiac Troponin I 0.02. The patient was loaded on procainamide and MEDICATIONS ON ADMISSION included Aspirin 325 mg q.d., Captopril 75 mg t.i.d., NPH insulin 18 q.a.m. and 8 q.p.m., Procainamide 500 mg t.i.d., and Simvastatin 20 mg once a day. The patient underwent evaluation for possible ischemic causes of an arrhythmia and was initially ruled out for myocardial infarction by serial enzymes and electrocardiograms. On standard Bruce protocol exercise tolerance test mibi, the patient went four minutes and thirty seconds, with maximum heart rate 121 and maximum blood pressure 210/85. He had typical chest pain for angina and chest tightness at peak exercise which was relieved with rest. The mibi images showed a mixed MI in basilar half of the inferior wall and mild peri-infarct ischemia in 3/20 segments in the right coronary artery territory. PAST MEDICAL HISTORY included Coronary artery disease, Diabetes mellitus on insulin, Hypertension, Status post bilateral knee replacements, asbestos exposure, and chronic renal insufficiency. The patient underwent cardiac catheterization which revealed a normal left main, left anterior descending artery with minor irregularities, left circumflex with 90 percent in-stent restenosis in proximal segment with a dominant left circumflex, and right coronary artery with a mid 50 percent lesion. He underwent successful percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty of the in-stent restenosis and was subsequently continued on aspirin. After the procainamide was held, the patient underwent electrophysiology study revealing normal sinus node recovery time, impaired AV nodal conduction, no inducible sustained ventricular tachycardia, and no inducible supraventricular tachycardia or atrial fibrillation. The patient was discharged to home with plans to follow-up with his primary cardiologist, perhaps with a Holter or event monitor and was prescribed Aspirin 325 mg q.d., Captopril 75 mg t.i.d., NPH Humulin insulin 18 units q.a.m. and 8 units q.p.m., nitroglycerin sublingual tablets, Vitamin E, and Simvastatin 20 mg q.h.s.

Ms. Halnon is a 67-year-old female with multiple medical comorbidities and a past medical history significant for cardiac transplant in 1993, and hip replacement in July 2005, complicated by wound infection, and need for prolonged rehabilitation who presented from Port Medical Center to Ephma Mersources Ni Memorial Hospital with three days of progressive worsening shortness of breath. Upon admission, her mental status was borderline, but it improved with discontinuation of standing analgesic and decreasing of her clonazepam. A head CT showed no acute processes. She had a right upper arm cellulitis and urinary tract infection on screening urinalysis. She was anemic and was found to be vancomycin resistant Enterococcus positive, but repeated cultures demonstrated MRSA negative. For her heart failure, she was diuresed with IV and transitioned to oral torsemide and they entered discharge dose of torsemide 200 mg p.o. twice per day. She was given a five-day course of levofloxacin (used to address recurrent UTI) and then a two-day course of Ancef, her cellulitis was initially treated with levofloxacin and transitioned to Bactrim based on antibiogram sensitivities. A long-term Foley was placed for comfort with catheter in place. While on Bactrim for her UTI, her creatinine rose from 1.5 to 1.6, but cleared with this regimen. For her chronic anemia, the patient was continued on iron (which was increased to three times per day) and darbepoetin, folate was added. She was asymptomatic from her chronic anemia. She was given two units of packed red blood cells in March, 2005, and two more units on February, 2006. Her admission weight was 133 kg and her creatinine was 1.6. At discharge, she was hemodynamically stable, afebrile, and breathing comfortably on three liters of oxygen. Her discharge medications included Vitamin C 500 mg twice per day, Imuran 25 mg daily, PhosLo 667 mg three times per day, clonazepam 0.25 mg twice daily, iron sulfate 325 mg three times per day, folate 1 mg daily, Dilaudid 2 mg every six hours as needed for pain, lactulose 30 mL four times per day as needed for constipation, prednisone 5 mg every morning, Sarna topical every day apply to affected areas, multivitamin daily, Coumadin 2.5 mg daily, goal INR 2 to 3, zinc sulfate 220 mg daily, Ambien 5 mg before bed as needed for insomnia, torsemide 200 mg by mouth two times per day, cyclosporine 50 mg twice daily, Colace 100 mg twice daily, insulin NPH 14 units every evening, insulin NPH 46 units every morning, esomeprazole 20 mg once per day, DuoNeb 3/0.5 mg inhaled every six hours as needed for shortness of breath, Aranesp 50 mcg subcutaneously once per week, NovoLog sliding scale before meals, Lexapro 20 mg once per day, Maalox one to two tablets every six hours as needed for upset stomach, and Lipitor 20 mg once per day.

The patient is a 40 year old female with a history of cholelithiasis who was recently discharged from Asce Medical Center after an incisional hernia repair. She soon after noted onset of right upper quadrant pain, vomiting, and fever and was readmitted with an ultrasound showing two 8-9 mm gallstones in the right upper quadrant. She was treated with intravenous antibiotics but deferred surgery at that time and was discharged home after defervescing. Approximately six weeks prior to admission, she was seen in the Emergency Ward for recurrent right upper quadrant pain without nausea, vomiting, or fever. She was subsequently seen by Dr. Bellman in the Chica Onant Hospital and a cholecystectomy was scheduled on a routine basis. On admission, the patient was afebrile with stable vital signs. Her EKG showed normal sinus rhythm, her chest X-Ray was clear, and her laboratory examination was within normal limits. She was placed under general anesthesia and her intubation was particularly difficult secondary to obesity requiring fiberoptic intubation and Anesthesia elected to place both an A-line and a central venous access. She then underwent a very uncomplicated cholecystectomy and was taken to the Recovery Room in stable condition. She received two doses of Gentamicin as prophylaxis post-operatively and had an unremarkable post-operative course. She was discharged to home on post-operative day number five with an appointment to follow-up in the Ingtondi Community Healthcare. | Why was the patient on gentamicin | {

Ms. Elter is an 83-year-old Spanish-speaking female with history of CAD, distant three-vessel CABG, CRI, NSTEMI in 4/20 and type II diabetes who presented to the ED with PND, dyspnea on exertion, and chest heaviness with no fevers or chills and no sick contacts, and EMS had given her Lasix and Nitrospray. She was briefly on a nonrebreather mask and responded to 80 mg of IV Lasix, with her potassium level reaching 5.8 and Kayexalate administered. Her medications included aspirin, metoprolol, allopurinol, valsartan, glipizide, Lipitor, and nifedipine, with her oxygen saturation eventually reaching the high 90s on a couple of liters of oxygen and her chest x-ray full set negative. She was treated with aspirin, beta-blockers, and statin for coronary artery disease, experienced a CHF flare with an elevated BNP which was managed with Lasix and Diuril, and her after load was reduced with ARB and her previous home calcium channel blocker was weaned off. She had a transient new atrial fibrillation and ventricular ectopy which resolved spontaneously, and was placed on humidified room air with nasal saline sprays and Afrin due to her coronary artery disease. She was transfused a total of 3 units to keep her hematocrit greater than 30 and Coumadin was initially started given her new onset of atrial fibrillation, but ultimately only aspirin was given after consideration of risks versus benefits. She had some constipation which was relieved with stool softeners and the patient received a PPI. Her DM-2 was managed with regular sliding scale insulin with good blood sugar control and her glipizide was held given her worsening creatinine clearance, and her allopurinol was changed to q.72h. from q.o.d. due to the creatinine clearance and she had some left heel and foot pain thought to be secondary to gout, which improved at the time of discharge. Her hematocrit dropped from 29 to 25, her guaiac was negative on the 3/20/04, and she was sent home with VNA support to follow up on her weights and fluid status and with home physical therapy. Her medications at the time of discharge included Lasix 20 mg p.o. q.d., Lipitor 80 mg p.o. q.d., Metoprolol sustained release 100 mg p.o. b.i.d., Colace 100 mg p.o. b.i.d. p.r.n. for constipation, Allopurinol 100 mg p.o. q.72h., Aspirin 325 mg p.o. q.d., and Valsartan 160 mg p.o. q.d. | Is there a mention of of statin usage/prescription in the record | {

Mr. Sheumaker is a 65-year-old gentleman with known cardiomyopathy, coronary artery disease, osteoarthritis, insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus, who presented with a 1 week of progressive fatigue and shortness of breath. In the prior 2 weeks, he had been started on hydrochlorothiazide. He had been nauseated and vomiting as a result of Percocet taken for his left hip pain with resulting decreased p.o. intake. He was evaluated in his primary care clinic and felt to be in decompensated heart failure. In the Emergency Department, he was dehydrated and found to be in acute renal failure, hyperkalemic, and uremic. For his hyperkalemia, the patient was treated with calcium, gluconate, insulin, Kayexalate and his potassium level returned to normal levels by hospital day #2. For his acute renal failure, the patient was hydrated gently with 60 cc of normal saline. The renal service was consulted and assisted with management. His BUN and creatinine were 182 and 4.8 respectively. His potassium 6.4, his sodium 128, and his CPK 1356, and his uric acid level 11.6. For his joint symptoms, Rheumatology was consulted who performed arthrocentesis of the left knee and diagnosed polyarticular gout. For his hip pain, his orthopedist, Dr. Schuchmann, evaluated him for possible future hip surgery. Neurology was consulted regarding atrophy of thenar muscles and elevated CPK. At discharge, the patient was afebrile, hemodynamically stable, euvolemic, ambulating, and saturating on room air, and on a stable medical regimen. Followup appointments for Cardiology, Neurology, and Rheumatology were put in place. | What medications has this patient tried for his hyperkalemia | {

This 70-year-old female with CHF, coronary artery disease, diabetes, peripheral vascular disease, and chronic renal insufficiency was admitted on 0/5/06 for weakness and confusion. Her hospital course was complicated by worsening cardiac function with minimal improvement on milrinone and decreasing urine output despite diuretics and also gross gastrointestinal bleeding with melanotic stool while she was on Coumadin for atrial fibrillation. In addition, there was concern for sepsis and she was placed on antibiotics with levofloxacin, Flagyl, and vancomycin. She required a transfer to the Cardiac Care Unit on 9/15/06 for further medical therapy for poor cardiac output, a possible need for CVVH, given volume overload in the setting of renal failure, and work-up of GIB. Her code status was DNR/DNI, but was changed to comfort measures only on 1/17/06 due to a large ascending colorectal mass with ulcerations. Being CMO status, she was removed of all pressors and antibiotics and made comfortable sedated on fentanyl and Versed. She was then extubated for comfort with family present and had agonal breathing with episodes of apnea and was given additional sedation for comfort. The patient drew her last breath at 2:20 p.m. with family present and was pronounced dead at 2:20 p.m. on 1/17/06.
