Mr. Lahm is a 43 year old male with Down's syndrome who was admitted with multiple episodes of syncope over the prior 8-10 years, characterized by emesis followed by loss of consciousness with a question of seizure like activity. In the Emergency Room he was noted to be somewhat groggy and had a brief episode of apparent loss of consciousness with a question of apnea, and had a heart rate of 30 beats per minute. He was intubated in the CT scan room, sedated and paralyzed while the study was completed. When he arrived in the Intensive Care Unit, he had a heart beat in the 20s with complete heart block, which was transient and with subsequent return to normal sinus rhythm. His neurological exam was nonfocal, electrolytes were normal, his EKG showed sinus tachycardia with an axis of 0, ST flattening in leads V5 and V6, I in L and a question of a Q in III. Chest X-ray raised the question of an infiltrate in the left base. He was ruled out for myocardial infarction, despite an elevated CK and the MB fraction was negative on electrophoresis. On the morning of February, he spiked a temperature to 102.3 and was begun on Penicillin. Later on February he had an episode of complete heart block with asystole for 9 seconds. Otherwise, he alternated sinus tachycardia and second degree heart block with runs of bradycardia at the rate of 30-40 and also tachycardia. A temporary pacemaker was placed on February through the left subclavian approach and he was hemodynamically stable, except for intermittent hypertension, which was treated with Nifedipine. He was switched from Nifedipine to Captopril for treatment of his hypertension and his fever was treated with Cefotetan for presumed aspiration pneumonia, which resulted in a delay in his pacemaker placement. He was transferred to the Cardiology Wa Nas O on March, 1993 to await pacemaker placement. He underwent permanent pacemaker placement in the Operating Room with anesthesia backup in case there was need for intubation because the patient had difficulty remaining still. The medications at discharge were: Kefzol 500mg q.i.d. for 3 days, and Lisinopril 10mg p.o. q day. He will followup with Dr. Antis on January, 1993 and in TYTAZE TH IONO VALLEY HEALTH with Dr. Filiberto Schie. Secondary Diagnoses were pacemaker placement and Down's syndrome.

Why was cefotetan prescribed

The patient is a 70 year old white female with a history of long standing hypertension, hypercholesterolemia, and history of tobacco use who presented upon transfer from Ra Memorial Hospital with chief complaint of post MI unstable angina. She had a history of long standing hypertension and had chest pain in the past including at least one previous episode of rule out MI. She was admitted on 22 of April to Hen Mo Gardensworth Sent Hospital with signs and symptoms consistent with acute MI and apparently received salvage therapy with IV Streptokinase and TPA. On 0 of August, the patient presented to Cooker View Home Hospital with an episode of heavy substernal chest pressure relieved with SL and topical nitrates, and her EKG showed no worrisome ischemic changes. She was transferred to CNMC on IV Heparin, IV Nitroglycerin at 140 micrograms per minute, IV Heparin drip, Lopressor, aspirin one a day, beta blockade and aspirin. She had several episodes of typical substernal chest pain with minimal exertion that were relieved with SL Nitroglycerin, and additional episodes of chest pain that were low in intensity but prolonged, each of these requiring several Nitroglycerins and antacids to be relieved. It was felt that the chest pain was treated by the addition of a calcium channel blocker, and her admission labs showed hematocrit 34.2, WBC 6.7, platelets 159,000, PTT 50.0 on IV Heparin. Postcatheterization, the patient showed mild hypertension which was treated by the addition of a calcium channel blocker, and she was also diuresed for fluid overload. Prior to discharge, she had two additional episodes of chest pain that were low in intensity but prolonged. Each of these required several Nitroglycerins and antacids to be relieved. It was felt that the chest pain was unlikely to be cardiac in origin and more likely represented either GI symptomatology or an anxiety reaction. The patient underwent an exercise treadmill test on the modified Bruce protocol which showed no evidence for ischemia. On discharge, she was prescribed Nifedipine XL 90 mg po q am, Lopressor 50 mg po b.i.d., Zantac 150 mg po q hs, aspirin 81 mg po q d, Serax 15 mg po q 6 h or q hs prn, and Nitroglycerin 1/150 grain q 5 minutes x 3 SL prn chest pain. She was discharged to home and is to follow up with her primary care physician, Dr. Gayle Demeritt, and her cardiologist, Dr. Mark Willians, at ACSH. ALLERGIES: Penicillin which causes anaphylaxis.

The patient is a 36-year-old G16, P0-0-15-0, who presented at 6 and 4/7 weeks by LMP consistent with ultrasound of the day of admission, as a transfer from the High-Risk Obstetric Clinic, admitted to the Fuller Antepartum Service for diabetic control. She had a history of pre-gestational diabetes, coronary artery disease, recurrent SABs and Hepatitis B, a fibroid uterus, recurrent miscarriages, cervical dysplasia, a molar pregnancy with subsequent choriocarcinoma, and a history of ST elevation myocardial infarction in 2000, which was treated with TPA and angioplasty, and an ejection fraction of 45% in 2002. On the day of admission, the patient was on a Humalog 7 units b.i.d. and Lantus 12 units in the evening, with her fasting sugars in the 150s before admission. She had previously been on Epivir 150 mg p.o. daily, but this had been stopped prior to pregnancy. During the entire hospital stay, the patient was on a Humalog 7 units b.i.d. and Lantus 12 units in the evening, with her fasting sugars in the 150s before admission and her Lantus was increased to 20 units at nighttime, and she was using 8 units three times a day of insulin lispro, in addition to a lispro sliding scale, in order to determine the additional insulin needs as an outpatient. The patient was also prescribed Vitamin B12 100 mcg p.o. daily, Folate 4 mg p.o. daily, and high-dose folic acid, B12 and B6. Aspirin 81 mg p.o. daily was restarted, and the patient was advised to not take any lamivudine until Gastroenterology followup. Oxycodone as required for pain was also prescribed. Cardiology was consulted and the impression was that the thrombosis was likely a combination of her left ventricular hypokinesia related to the previous infarct, as well as her hypercoagulable state. Therefore, their recommendation was to start the patient on Lovenox for the duration of this pregnancy, which adjusted for her weight was a dose of 90 mg daily, followed by a transition to Coumadin postpartum, to be continued for likely long-term, possibly lifelong duration. The patient had her first trimester labs sent on this admission and was started on prenatal vitamins, as well as high-dose folic acid, B12 and B6. Given the patient's history of hepatitis B, an outpatient appointment was being arranged at the time of discharge, with Dr. Lavy, from the Division of Gastroenterology at the Sasspan Hospital. It was decided that the patient should not take any lamivudine until Gastroenterology followup. She also had an 8-cm fibroid on her ultrasound scan and required rare intermittent doses of oxycodone for fibroid pain. The patient was discharged in a stable condition, with followup appointments arranged for the various specialties, on medications of Aspirin 81 mg p.o. daily, Lovenox subcutaneously 90 mg daily, Vitamin B12 100 mcg p.o. daily, Folate 4 mg p.o. daily, Prenatal vitamins one tablet p.o. daily, Lantus 20 units subcutaneously q.p.m. and Insulin lispro 8 units subcutaneously AC, as well as lispro sliding scale, in addition a AC.

Mr. Notari was admitted to the Orthopaedic Hand Service on 1/18/2006 with a history of increased right shoulder pain following a cellulitis of the right hand. An ESR was checked on admission and was slightly elevated at 18. He was afebrile and non-toxic, therefore was not started on antibiotics. Dilaudid was added to his pain regimen for his increased discomfort. On 9/25/2006 a CT guided right shoulder joint fluid aspiration was performed by Radiology. Analysis of this fluid was not consistent with joint infection. He received Lovenox for DVT prophylaxis during his admission. On HD#4 he was awake, alert, appropriate and afebrile with stable vital signs. His pain was well controlled on oral medications.

Mr. Almon is a 51 year old gentleman with history of insulin dependent diabetes mellitus and unstable angina who was doing yard work and experienced an episode of nausea and vomiting along with chest discomfort. His EKG was noted to have an old T wave inversion in lead 3 which was now upright and ST depressions that were normalizing, along with CKs of 974 and MB 24.3 and Troponin level of 1.77. He received aspirin 5 mg of intravenous Lopressor, Heparin drip and Adenosine MIBI. Cardiac catheterization revealed Right dominant system, no significant left main lesions identified, left anterior descending coronary artery with a discreet mid 65% lesion, distal 99% lesion and first diagonal coronary artery with a proximal discrete 70% lesion, left circumflex coronary artery with a distal after the second obtuse marginal discrete 60% lesion, supplying the second obtuse marginal. First marginal coronary artery had an ostial discrete 90% lesion and a second obtuse marginal had an ostial discrete 100% lesion. Right coronary artery had a mid discrete 95% lesion supplying the right posterior descending coronary artery. The patient underwent echocardiogram which revealed mild concentric left ventricular hypertrophy with normal cavity size and left ventricular systolic function mildly reduced with an estimated ejection fraction of 45%, severe hypokinesis of the basal and mid segments of the inferior wall and inferior septum, and severe hypokinesis of the posterior wall, apex and distal anterior wall. He underwent coronary artery bypass graft x 3 with a left internal mammary artery to left anterior descending artery, saphenous vein graft to the obtuse marginal coronary artery and saphenous vein graft to the intermediate coronary artery. Postoperatively, he was extubated on postoperative day number one and transferred to the step down unit, with a T.max of 99. He had serous drainage from the inferior aspect of his sternal incision. He was started on Keflex 500 mg four times a day for 10 days. Discharge medications included Enteric coated aspirin 325 mg once a day, ibuprofen 200 to 800 mg every 4 to 6 h p.r.n. pain, NPH Humulin insulin 44 units in the morning, 14 units in the evening, regular insulin 6 units twice a day, Niferex 150 mg twice a day, potassium chloride 20 mEq once a day, Zocor 40 mg once in the evening, Atenolol 50 mg once a day, Lisinopril 10 mg once a day, Keflex 500 mg four times a day for 10 days for his superficial sternal wound infection and torsemide 60 mg twice a day, and he was discharged to home in stable condition.

Code status was full code.

Is the patient currently or have they ever taken atrovent hfa inhaler

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 the patient used ace inhibitor in the past

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.

The patient is a 36-year-old G16, P0-0-15-0, who presented at 6 and 4/7 weeks by LMP consistent with ultrasound of the day of admission, as a transfer from the High-Risk Obstetric Clinic, admitted to the Fuller Antepartum Service for diabetic control. She had a history of pre-gestational diabetes, coronary artery disease, recurrent SABs and Hepatitis B, a fibroid uterus, recurrent miscarriages, cervical dysplasia, a molar pregnancy with subsequent choriocarcinoma, and a history of ST elevation myocardial infarction in 2000, which was treated with TPA and angioplasty, and an ejection fraction of 45% in 2002. On the day of admission, the patient was on a Humalog 7 units b.i.d. and Lantus 12 units in the evening, with her fasting sugars in the 150s before admission. She had previously been on Epivir 150 mg p.o. daily, but this had been stopped prior to pregnancy. During the entire hospital stay, the patient was on a Humalog 7 units b.i.d. and Lantus 12 units in the evening, with her fasting sugars in the 150s before admission and her Lantus was increased to 20 units at nighttime, and she was using 8 units three times a day of insulin lispro, in addition to a lispro sliding scale, in order to determine the additional insulin needs as an outpatient. The patient was also prescribed Vitamin B12 100 mcg p.o. daily, Folate 4 mg p.o. daily, and high-dose folic acid, B12 and B6. Aspirin 81 mg p.o. daily was restarted, and the patient was advised to not take any lamivudine until Gastroenterology followup. Oxycodone as required for pain was also prescribed. Cardiology was consulted and the impression was that the thrombosis was likely a combination of her left ventricular hypokinesia related to the previous infarct, as well as her hypercoagulable state. Therefore, their recommendation was to start the patient on Lovenox for the duration of this pregnancy, which adjusted for her weight was a dose of 90 mg daily, followed by a transition to Coumadin postpartum, to be continued for likely long-term, possibly lifelong duration. The patient had her first trimester labs sent on this admission and was started on prenatal vitamins, as well as high-dose folic acid, B12 and B6. Given the patient's history of hepatitis B, an outpatient appointment was being arranged at the time of discharge, with Dr. Lavy, from the Division of Gastroenterology at the Sasspan Hospital. It was decided that the patient should not take any lamivudine until Gastroenterology followup. She also had an 8-cm fibroid on her ultrasound scan and required rare intermittent doses of oxycodone for fibroid pain. The patient was discharged in a stable condition, with followup appointments arranged for the various specialties, on medications of Aspirin 81 mg p.o. daily, Lovenox subcutaneously 90 mg daily, Vitamin B12 100 mcg p.o. daily, Folate 4 mg p.o. daily, Prenatal vitamins one tablet p.o. daily, Lantus 20 units subcutaneously q.p.m. and Insulin lispro 8 units subcutaneously AC, as well as lispro sliding scale, in addition a AC.

Mr. Legions is a 54 year old professor who presented to Menjack Hospital Medical Center with recurrent substernal chest pain one day after coronary artery bypass graft (5 vessel bypass) 8 years ago. His coronary risk factors include a positive family history and a previous diagnosis of hyperlipidemia. He was given Lovastatin 40 mg q q.m. and 20 mg q p.m., as well as enteric-coated aspirin one tablet q day. At Skaggssin Hospital, he was given IV nitroglycerin, IV heparin, Nifedipine SL, and morphine, in addition to aspirin and Lovastatin. The patient's pain was relieved with four sublingual nitroglycerin and an EKG demonstrated one sublingual nitroglycerin and these EKG changes resolved. He was treated symptomatically with Tylenol and started on Biaxin 500 mg po bid, and also received a five day course of oral Biaxin with Cholestyramine one packet po q hs, Lopressor 50 mg po tid, and Sublingual nitroglycerin 1/150 tablets to be taken prn. The patient had episodes of fever, achieving a maximum temperature of 101.4, and a chest x-ray on 0/26/95 demonstrated evidence of early congestive heart failure. The patient was treated with daily doses of IV Lasix with resolution of his rales. He was admitted to the Cardiac Intensive Care Unit on IV heparin and nitroglycerine as well as continuation of his aspirin and Lovastatin. His pain was treated with morphine sulfate and relieved with four sublingual nitroglycerin. An EKG demonstrated one sublingual nitroglycerin and these EKG changes resolved. After 24 hours pain-free, the patient was transferred to the Cardiac Step-Down floor and the IV nitroglycerin and IV heparin were discontinued. An echocardiogram demonstrated inferior and posterior hypokinesis with an ejection fraction of approximately 46%, and the patient underwent a submax MIBI to assess coronary perfusion of the heart. The exercise component of this examination demonstrated EKG changes consistent with ischemic coronary flow. Nuclear imaging demonstrated a fixed apical lateral defect in the patient's heart consistent with a healed or healing transmural infarct. The patient also complained of progressive anterior and lateral thigh pain, symptoms consistent with an upper respiratory viral infection, and rales 4 to 5 cm above the bases bilaterally.

Ms. Hesby is a 36-year-old woman with very poorly controlled type 1 diabetes, end-stage renal disease, right eye blindness, lower extremity neuropathy, gastroparesis, and a history of extensive infections. She presented to Path Community Hospital with a right thigh burn and infection, and was given a prescription for antibiotics, 20 units of IV insulin, 500 mL normal saline boluses, and several 250 mL boluses, as well as 2 amps of calcium gluconate, Kayexalate, albuterol nebs, and Augmentin and IV vancomycin for her right thigh cellulitis. For long-term management, she was prescribed Lantus 24 units subcu each night, NovoLog sliding scale, PhosLo, Nephrocaps, Vitamin D, Sevelamer 1600 t.i.d., Toprol 100 mg p.o. daily, Lisinopril 5 mg p.o. daily, Plavix 75 mg p.o. daily, Keppra 500 mg p.o. b.i.d., Flovent two puffs b.i.d., Albuterol p.r.n., Baclofen 5 mg p.o. t.i.d., and Ambien 10 mg p.o. at bedtime p.r.n. The patient was admitted with a diagnosis of Diabetic Ketoacidosis (DKA) and was stabilized in the MICU on an insulin waves. She was then transitioned to NPH and finally to Lantus 24 units subcu and her hypertension is being managed on her home dose of Lopressor 25 q.i.d. and switched to Captopril, which is being titrated. Her area of cellulitis has completely resolved, and if she becomes acidotic, the patient can be managed with sodium bicarbonate and D5W in small boluses. The patient is taking her Nephrocaps and sevelamer and is receiving prophylaxis with heparin 5000 units subcu t.i.d., however she has consistently refused her heparin. Of note, on the night of 1/26/06, the patient complained of severe cramping, right lower quadrant pain, which is new. She noted this pain has increased rapidly in the setting of diarrhea. Several C. diff studies, which were sent recently have been negative and the patient has had no blood in her diarrhea. Presumed cause is Augmentin, which has been stopped. The patient has continued to eat freely and is passing diarrhea despite her complaints of 10/10 severe abdominal pain. A CT scan of her abdomen was ordered, but she refused to take oral or IV contrast. The results of this CT scan are pending and will be followed up by the new medical team.

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.

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.

Has the patient had multiple oxygen. prescriptions

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. He will follow up with Jerold Cristopher Blazon, M.D. in one to two weeks, go home with visiting nurse care, and will need to see his nephrologist, vascular surgeons, primary care provider, and Bariatric Surgery following discharge.

Has this patient ever been treated with lasix ( furosemide )

Cristopher Ottilige is a 53 year old woman with a history of diabetes mellitus who presented with abdominal pain and fevers over two weeks duration. On admission, the patient was treated with Lasix 60 mg q day, Glyburide 5 mg q day, Labetalol 200 mg b.i.d., Flagyl 500 mg p.o. q 8 hours, Levofloxacin 500 mg p.o. q 24 hours, Xalatan 1 drop OU q p.m., and Timoptic 0.5% 1 drop OS q day. Physical examination revealed Cervical motion tenderness and Neurologic examination found the patient alert and oriented. Abdominal CT was notable for a 7 x 8 cm low density fluid collection in the region of the right adnexa and a 4 x 8 cm low density fluid collection in the left adnexa. The patient was initially managed on triple antibiotics, ampicillin, gentamicin, and Clindamycin for empiric antimicrobial coverage, with gentamicin eventually being switched to Levofloxacin. Neurologic symptoms of abdominal pain were initially managed with Demerol and Vistaril, and by discharge the patient was without pain and afebrile. The patient was discharged on b.i.d. Flagyl 500 mg p.o. q 8 hours, Levofloxacin 500 mg p.o. q 24 hours, Xalatan 1 drop OU q p.m., and Timoptic 0.5% 1 drop OS q day, with instructions to call the primary care physician for fevers greater than 100.5, chills, nausea, vomiting, and abdominal pain. The patient was referred to the gynecology oncology service for further follow up as an outpatient.

Is there history of use of timoptic 0.5%

The patient is a 54-year-old man with nonischemic dilated cardiomyopathy who presents with weight gain, weakness, and azotemia. He was admitted with decompensated heart failure and was treated with dobutamine, seretide, and diuretics with good effect, functioning on ACE inhibitor. Two weeks prior to presentation, Digoxin 0.125 mg q.o.d., Imdur 30 mg q.d., hydralazine 25 mg t.i.d., torsemide was being held, Coumadin 1 mg q.d., carvedilol 3.125 mg b.i.d., allopurinol 100 mg q.d., Glucophage, and glyburide were administered. On 2/19/03, Diuril was added to his regimen and his creatinine was noted to increase from 2.6 to 3.6 and diuretics were subsequently held. The patient was loaded on amiodarone, unfortunately still required low dose dobutamine to maintain his cardiac output and was transferred back to the floor and continued to have decrease urine output on maximal diuretic doses and ionotropes. On 6/8/03, the renal surgery recommended that the dobutamine be stopped in order to enhance renal perfusion and Lasix be increased to 80 mg per hour. He has beyond less invasive measures such as digoxin and ACE inhibitors, and he is now dobutamine dependent dobutamine between 1 and 2.5 mcg/kg/minute to maintain his cardiac output, currently loaded on amiodarone without any further events. He has a chronic osteomyelitis, currently in a six-week course of ceftazidime, vancomycin, Flagyl, and Diflucan for complicated osteomyelitis, end date is on 2/30/03. He has diabetes and was on oral hypoglycemic as an outpatient, however, now this renal function, he has been transitioned over to insulin with his standing doses of Lantus with a lispro sliding scale. The patient was started on TPN for quite severe malnutrition and has increasing albumin with increased appetite. Additionally, he is on maintenance doses of hydrocortisone and was seen by Psychiatry, who suggested starting low dose of Zyprexa in the evening, which has greatly improved his mood. He is planned to be evaluated by Plastic Surgery prior to discharge for final plans whether a flap or healing by secondary retention. The patient currently is stable and would be discharged with home dobutamine and frequent and careful follow up by his primary cardiologist Dr. Mongiovi.

has the patient used hypoglycemic in the past

This is a 48-year-old female who was admitted to the hospital with pneumonia and Klonopin overdose two days prior to admission, having recently completed an antibiotic course at Dale Skin Sonmu Medical Center for pneumonia. She has not taken her lisinopril or methadone in the past. Upon admission, her respiratory rate was 18, O2 saturation 95% on 8 liters of oxygen and she was aggressively given fluids and was started on Levophed for blood pressure support. Her EKG was notable for low voltage on the precordial leads and her saturations were in the high 80's. She was given vancomycin, Levaquin and gentamicin and 3 liters of normal saline. She had a mild troponin elevation on admission, likely secondary to RV strain, and was given a heparin drip with a goal of 60 to 80. Her second PECT showed a small PE to the right upper lobe, but it was not large enough to explain her dramatic presentation. She had severe hypotension and was on two pressors, which were weaned off of on 4/15/06, but had an episode of hypotension when her BiPAP was started. She was given a little bit of low dose dobutamine and then weaned off of that on 3/6/06. She had an elevated eosinophilia on presentation and it was 4% on admission and increased to 8% on 4/21/06. She was empirically covered on admission with vancomycin, levofloxacin and gentamicin. Her antibiotics were given again on 10/16/06 and on 11/13/06. She did complain of bladder spasms while having the Foley in place and was started on Ditropan. She had multiple negative urinalysis and urine cultures. Once the Foley was discontinued, she was able to void and she stopped having bladder spasms. She was started on Monistat for a yeast infection. She did have a history of severe hypertension and her blood pressures were stable, but not high enough to withstand on additional blood pressure lowering medication. It was discussed with her PCP that she perhaps will need this medication restarted as an outpatient. She also had a normal increase in her cortisol level with ACTH stimulation. Her Coumadin was initially given 10, then a dose of 5 and then 2 dose of 7.5. We are continuing her methadone, which has been switched from 20 mg p.o. daily to 10 mg p.o. b.i.d. She was also given a little bit of Ativan while in-house to help with her agitation and anxiety and was initially given a little bit of Haldol, but that was discontinued on 8/4/06 and there was no additional need for that. She was on unfractionated heparin for her presumed PE until 6/15/06 and then changed to Lovenox in the morning and her methadone has been switched from 20 mg p.o. daily to 10 mg p.o. b.i.d. She was given a little bit of low dose lisinopril while in-house. Her blood pressures were stable, but her weight at that time was 157 kg.

Her AFIB became tachy to 140's with an elevated troponin to 1.69 which rose to a max of 2.41 with no EKG changes and was rate controlled and started on Levofloxacin. She was given 2 doses of vancomycin to cover potential staph infection and had an adenosine MIBI that showed no perfusion defects. Her INR was increasing due to the levofloxacin effect and was switched to ceftriaxone consistant with blood culture succeptabilities. Follow up blood cultures on 0/27 demostrated gram positive cocci in clusters and antibiotics were d/c'd after repeat cultures were negative. Her cardiac workup included an echocardiogram with RV dialation and wall akinesis with apical sparing , a new finding since last echo in '03. We have altered cardiac medications for better rate control by cancelling the coreg( carvedelol ) and Norvasc( amilodipine ) and replacing them with a blood pressure medication, Toprol XL( Metoprolol XL ) to better control the rate of her atrial fibrillation and the digoxin was also added for heart rate control. The patient was discharged in good condition and was given instructions to take the full course of antibiotics which cover the next 8days, to take medications with meals or on empty stomach and to avoid high Vitamin-K containing foods, to call PCP with any changes in urinary symptoms, or fever >101.0, return to ER if any changes in mental status, chest pain, SOB, or syncope, and follow-up with PCP within the next week with INR and digoxin levels. Do not use lasix unless necessary and contact PCP if using more than 1-2 times per week due to possible toxicity with digoxin use.

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. PRN gaseousness, trazodone 25 mg PO at bedtime, miconazole nitrate 2% powder topical BID to areas between skin folds including under the right breast, Nexium 20 mg PO daily, Lantus 30 mg subcutaneous daily, DuoNeb 3/0.5 mg Nebs q. 3 h. PRN shortness of breath, aspart 4 units before each meal subcutaneously, folate 3 mg PO daily, Avapro 150 mg PO daily, meclizine 25 mg PO TID, Combivent 2 puffs inhaled q.i.d., Vitamin D 125 0.25 mcg PO daily. She will follow up with infectious disease and hematology for her neutropenia, which has since resolved, and will stay and finish the 14-day course of Levaquin for UTI coverage.

What was the indication for my patient's rbc transfusions

This is a 46-year-old morbidly obese female with a history of insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus complicated by BKA on two prior occasions, who was admitted to the MICU with BKA, urosepsis, and a non-Q-wave MI. On presentation to the Emergency Department, her vital signs were notable for a blood pressure of 189/92, pulse rate of 120, respiratory rate of 20, and an O2 sat of 90%. She was given insulin, sublingual nitroglycerin x three, 4 mg of morphine, 5 mg of Lopressor, and started on a heparin drip and IV antibiotics, and admitted to the MICU for further management. Her past medical history included insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus for how many years, positive ethanol use, approximately one drink per week, and denied IV drug use or other illicit drug use. She was placed on an insulin drip and hydrated with intravenous fluids, with improvement, and eventually transitioned to NPH with insulin sliding scale coverage. Despite escalating her dose of NPH up to 65 U subcu b.i.d. on the day of discharge, she continued to have elevated blood sugars >200 and required coverage with insulin sliding scale. This issue will need to be addressed as an outpatient. She was also placed on cefotaxime for gram negative coverage, with both her blood cultures and urine cultures growing out E. coli which were sensitive to cefotaxime and gentamycin. As she initially continued to be febrile and continued to have positive blood cultures, one dose of gentamycin was given for synergy, and she was eventually transitioned to p.o. levofloxacin and will take 7 days of p.o. levofloxacin to complete a total 14-day course of antibiotics for urosepsis. She was initially placed on aspirin, heparin, and a beta blocker, and once her creatinine normalized, an ACE inhibitor was also added. Heparin was discontinued once the concern for PE was alleviated, and her beta blocker and ACE inhibitor were titrated up for a goal systolic blood pressure of <140 and a pulse of <70. On admission, the patient was on several pain medicines, including amitriptyline, Flexeril, and Valium for reported history of sciatica and low back pain, which were discontinued and she was placed on Neurontin for likely diabetic neuropathy. She was also placed on GI prophylaxis with Carafate and treated symptomatically with Imodium p.r.n. diarrhea. The patient was discharged with enteric coated aspirin 325 mg p.o. q.d., NPH Humulin insulin 65 U subcu b.i.d., human insulin sliding scale: for blood sugars 151-200 give 4 U, for blood sugars 201-250 give 6 U, for blood sugars 251-300 give 8 U, for blood sugars 301-350 give 10 U, Imodium 2 mg p.o. q. 6 hrs. p.r.n. diarrhea, Niferex 150 mg p.o. b.i.d., nitroglycerin 1/150 one tab sublingual q. 5 min. x 3 p.r.n. chest pain, multivitamin one tab p.o. q.d., simvastatin 10 mg p.o. q.h.s., Neurontin 600 mg p.o. t.i.d., levofloxacin 500 mg p.o. q.d. x 5 days, Toprol XL 400 mg p.o. q.d., lisinopril 40 mg p.o. q.d. The patient was evaluated by the physical therapist, who noted her to walk around the hospital without significant difficulty.

The patient is a 70 year old white female with a history of long standing hypertension, hypercholesterolemia, and history of tobacco use who presented upon transfer from Ra Memorial Hospital with chief complaint of post MI unstable angina. She had a history of long standing hypertension and had chest pain in the past including at least one previous episode of rule out MI. She was admitted on 22 of April to Hen Mo Gardensworth Sent Hospital with signs and symptoms consistent with acute MI and apparently received salvage therapy with IV Streptokinase and TPA. On 0 of August, the patient presented to Cooker View Home Hospital with an episode of heavy substernal chest pressure relieved with SL and topical nitrates, and her EKG showed no worrisome ischemic changes. She was transferred to CNMC on IV Heparin, IV Nitroglycerin at 140 micrograms per minute, IV Heparin drip, Lopressor, aspirin one a day, beta blockade and aspirin. She had several episodes of typical substernal chest pain with minimal exertion that were relieved with SL Nitroglycerin, and additional episodes of chest pain that were low in intensity but prolonged, each of these requiring several Nitroglycerins and antacids to be relieved. It was felt that the chest pain was treated by the addition of a calcium channel blocker, and her admission labs showed hematocrit 34.2, WBC 6.7, platelets 159,000, PTT 50.0 on IV Heparin. Postcatheterization, the patient showed mild hypertension which was treated by the addition of a calcium channel blocker, and she was also diuresed for fluid overload. Prior to discharge, she had two additional episodes of chest pain that were low in intensity but prolonged. Each of these required several Nitroglycerins and antacids to be relieved. It was felt that the chest pain was unlikely to be cardiac in origin and more likely represented either GI symptomatology or an anxiety reaction. The patient underwent an exercise treadmill test on the modified Bruce protocol which showed no evidence for ischemia. On discharge, she was prescribed Nifedipine XL 90 mg po q am, Lopressor 50 mg po b.i.d., Zantac 150 mg po q hs, aspirin 81 mg po q d, Serax 15 mg po q 6 h or q hs prn, and Nitroglycerin 1/150 grain q 5 minutes x 3 SL prn chest pain. She was discharged to home and is to follow up with her primary care physician, Dr. Gayle Demeritt, and her cardiologist, Dr. Mark Willians, at ACSH. ALLERGIES: Penicillin which causes anaphylaxis.

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.

The patient was also given IBUPROFEN 600-800 MG PO Q6H PRN Pain for left knee pain after a fall one week prior. The patient was instructed to continue home diabetic regimen and followup with PCP/cardiology and schedule a repeat right leg ultrasound test (“LENI”) to follow the small blood clot in her leg in the future.

Has the pt. ever been on plavix ( clopidogrel ) before

This 79 year old male was admitted to OCMC on 8/9/05 with a 1 cm left renal stone that had caused left hip and flank pain with nausea and vomiting. His cardiologist, Dr. Cannizzo, was consulted and Coumadin was held for the operation. It was originally planned to reverse INR with FFP, but the patient felt throat tightness after 5 minutes of FFP transfusion and FFP was stopped. He then underwent laser lithotripsy and stent placement on 8/0/50 and tolerated the procedure well. Post-op, he had frequent PVC but cardiac enzyme was negative. On POD2, he tolerated regular diet and was ready to be discharged home with Bactrim and low dose Coumadin.

The patient is a 60 year old black female presenting with a chief complaint of dizziness and syncope. She was initially seen in 1989, and pacer insertion was performed after an episode of asystole on the monitor. In March 1994, she was seen by the pacer service and found to have a high failure rate necessitating a new pacer insertion. Today, she passed out while walking back to bed and denied any trauma, chest pain, shortness of breath or palpitations. On admission, physical exam was normal and laboratory data showed K 3.9, mag 2.1, Hematocrit 38.9. EKG showed normal sinus rhythm and left ventricular hypertrophy. The patient was admitted and the story was most consistent with an arrhythmia induced syncope. Right upper extremity venogram showed patent vessels and pacemaker insertion was performed without any complications on 4 of October. The patient was discharged to home the following day on Keflex 500 mg q8h for nine doses and Percocet 1-2 p.o. q6h p.r.n. pain, with follow-up in the Pacemaker Clinic.

This is a 70-year-old woman with ischemic cardiomyopathy, coronary artery disease status post MI, insulin-dependent diabetes, peripheral vascular disease, and chronic renal insufficiency who presented in volume overload after a previous admission. She had been diuresed with a Lasix drip at 10 mg per hour and Zaroxolyn at 2.5 mg p.o. daily, and her Lopressor was held for a decompensated heart failure. She was then started on amiodarone and Coumadin for a new paroxysmal atrial fibrillation. Her Lasix drip was increased to 20 mg per hour and the Zaroxolyn was increased to b.i.d. After transition from Zaroxolyn to Diuril, which was given 250 mg IV b.i.d., she was prescribed Ativan 0.5 mg p.o. t.i.d. p.r.n. anxiety, Folate 1 mg p.o. daily, Lipitor 80 mg p.o. at bedtime, Lantus 18 units subcutaneously nightly, Lopressor 25 mg p.o. b.i.d., Procrit 40,000 units subcutaneously every other week, Nitroglycerin sublingual p.r.n. chest pain, Aspirin 81 mg p.o. daily, Vitamin B12 subcutaneous injections at clinic, Iron 325 mg p.o. t.i.d., Metolazone p.r.n., Multivitamin one tablet p.o. daily, Torsemide 100 mg q.a.m. and 50 mg q.p.m., Coumadin 1 mg q.p.m., and Amiodarone 200 mg p.o. daily. Despite the dose of Coumadin being decreased from her home dose of 1 mg q.p.m. to a 0.5 mg q.p.m., her INR continued to rise greater than 200. She was started on q.a.c. NovoLog regimen with her Lantus insulin dose decreased from 18 units to 16 units and the NovoLog sliding scale was started. She was monitored on telemetry with no other events and required repletion of both potassium and magnesium despite her renal insufficiency throughout the admission in the setting of injected insulin in the setting of worsening renal failure, so, studies were also normal. She was continued on Aranesp through the admission and was discharged home on a similar regimen to her home regimen simply to Torsemide after the last discharge as her outpatient p.o. Torsemide regimen of 100 mg p.o. q.a.m. and 50 mg q.p.m., Lantus 12 units subcutaneously nightly, Ativan 0.5 mg p.o. t.i.d., Folate 1 mg p.o. daily, Lipitor 80 mg p.o. at bedtime, Multivitamin one tablet p.o. daily, Coumadin 1 mg q.p.m., Metolazone 2.5 mg p.o. daily as needed for fluid retention, Iron 325 mg p.o. t.i.d., and Aspirin 81 mg p.o. daily.

She was covered with antibiotics initially, then transitioned over to a ciprofloxacin 700 mg p.o. b.i.d. regime for a total of 12 days for a presumed urinary tract infection. She had a significant polypharmacy and enumerable sedating medications, including baclofen, Dilaudid and trazodone. Her Cymbalta was continued per outpatient follow-up and her Lamictal, as well as her Cymbalta, were maintained for her history of depression. Neurologically, she had a left-sided hemiparesis, as well as agnosia on the left side, and her mental status included intermittent disorientation. She was maintained on Novolog sliding scale for diabetes, QTc monitored with serial EKGs, and prior use of Haldol and other antipsychotics for behavioral modification. She was also continued on a replacement dose levothyroxine for her history of Graves' and a history of radioiodine ablation. For behavioral modification, as well as intermittent agitation and disorientation, the patient was maintained on p.r.n. Seroquel 100 mg p.o. b.i.d., as well as Zydis 5 mg p.o. b.i.d. p.r.n., which was titrated from standing to p.r.n. over the course of her hospitalization in order to try to decrease any sedating medications that may be altering her alertness and orientation.

Patient Isaac Vanover, Jr., a 44-year-old man with a history of CAD s/p MI x2 4/14 with PCI, in stent thrombosis, and re-stenting, was admitted multiple times for CP with associated fatigue and SOB. He was placed on ECASA (Aspirin Enteric Coated) 325 MG PO QD, COLACE (Docusate Sodium) 100 MG PO BID PRN constipation, ENALAPRIL MALEATE 5 MG PO QAM HOLD IF: SBP<100, POTENTIALLY SERIOUS INTERACTION: POTASSIUM CHLORIDE & ENALAPRIL MALEATE (on order for KCL IMMEDIATE RELEASE PO (ref #56599393)), ATIVAN (Lorazepam) 1 MG PO TID Starting Today March PRN anxiety HOLD IF: RR<12 or pt is lethargic, NITROGLYCERIN 1/150 (0.4 MG) 1 TAB SL q5min x 3 PRN chest pain HOLD IF: SBP < 100, ZOLOFT (Sertraline) 100 MG PO QD, ZOCOR (Simvastatin) 20 MG PO QHS, PLAVIX (Clopidogrel) 75 MG PO QD, VIOXX (Rofecoxib) 25 MG PO QD, ZANTAC (Ranitidine HCl) 150 MG PO BID PRN dyspepsia, and ATENOLOL 25 MG PO QD with Food/Drug Interaction Instruction. Managed on Hep, TNG gtt, Plavix, ACE, B blocker, and Demerol, the pain recurred and he was transferred to BVH for cath. Cardiac catheterization on 8/18/02 showed non-obstructive CAD with LMCA, LAD, LCx, and RCA all OK. Pulmonary level of suspicion for PE is low, so D-dimer is sent and PE ruled out. Mild fluid overload was managed with Lasix to keep I/O's 500-1000cc neg. Pain could represent pericarditis, but psychiatric etiology for CP becomes more likely and psychiatric follow-up and treatment for anxiety and depression is recommended. WBC count increased 4/10 but no other sign/symptom of infection, CXR showed no infiltrates, and the patient was discharged stable with instructions to schedule an appointment with the primary doctor within 2-4 weeks, and if chest pain changes in character or is associated with new symptoms, the patient is to notify their doctor or call 911.

Ms. Fought is a 50-year-old female with a history of bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, obstructive sleep apnea, hypertension, and diabetes who presented with right knee swelling, redness, and pain and was admitted to the Emergency Department. She was given therapeutic doses of heparin because of the concern of pain, as well as IV fluids, Oxycodone 5 mg to 10 mg p.o. q.4h. p.r.n. pain, Tylenol 650 mg p.o. q.4h. p.r.n. pain, Ibuprofen 600 mg q.6h. p.r.n. pain, Klonopin 1 mg p.o. at bedtime, Levofloxacin 500 mg p.o. daily for six days after the day of discharge, and NSAIDs, and was prescribed Lisinopril 10 mg daily, Lipitor 40 mg daily, Klonopin, MetroGel p.o. at bedtime, Lithium 900 mg at bedtime, Acebutolol 200 mg daily, and Risperdal 0.5 mg at bedtime, with no known drug allergies. She responded well to normal saline fluid boluses for a total of 3 liters over her hospital course, and was treated with Unasyn and vancomycin, and then switched to levofloxacin, with six more days after discharge from the hospital. Her bradycardia was resolved either over beta blockade or lithium toxicity, for which her beta-blocker was held and her lithium was also held, resulting in an improved heart rate in the 50s and 60s. Upon discharge, she was given instructions to draw blood for lithium level checks daily until it is below 0.5, at which time, she should be restarted on lithium 300 mg p.o. at bedtime, and to follow up with her primary care physician, Dr. Aurelio Gilberto Hencheck at Li County Hospital.

The patient is a 75-year-old female with a history of 2. Diabetes , on insulin, congestive heart failure, bilateral occipital CVAs, hypertension, chronic renal insufficiency, coronary artery disease, visual impair with tunnel vision, monoclonal gammopathy, and left upper extremity thrombophlebitis. She was found at home with altered mental status and a fingerstick of 37, which increased to 42 with orange juice and normalized her mental status. She was given 1. Lasix 80 mg p.o q.d. in the morning , 40 mg p.o. q.d. in the evening, 2. Atenolol 75 mg p.o. q.d., 3. Lipitor 10 mg p.o. q.d., 4. Amitriptyline 25 to 50 mg p.o. q.h.s. p.r.n., 5. Multivitamins., 6. Aspirin 325 mg p.o. q.d., 7. Folate 100 mg p.o. q.d., 8. Lisinopril 20 mg p.o. q.d., 9. Iron gluconate 325 mg p.o. t.i.d., 10. Novolin 34 to 40 units subcu. q.d., 11. Epogen 5000 units subcu. q. week., 6. Aspirin 325 mg p.o. q.d., 7. Colace 100 mg p.o. b.i.d., and 2. Metoprolol 12.5 mg p.o. b.i.d. Her NPH dose was cut to 20 units subcu. q.d. with lispro sliding scale q.a.c. and q.h.s., and Metoprolol was changed to Toprol as her blood pressure tolerates. Lisinopril was switched to captopril, then discontinued given her bumping which might suggest thalassemia. She is on iron and Epogen with Prophylaxis: Heparin and H2 blocker. Her minimally needed insulin was 5 units a day and her sugars were well controlled otherwise low. Lasix was decreased to 80 mg p.o. b.i.d. and the x-ray on the day of her discharge showed it was unlikely consolidated lobar pneumonia because of the improved forward flow from discontinuation of her ACE inhibitor. She was admitted with hypoglycemic diabetes possibly secondary to infection or logistical and social barriers, and was treated initially with levofloxacin for her right lower lobe pneumonia versus CHF, pleural effusion which decreased only minimally with diuresis of 1 to 2 liters overnight and for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes she underwent a thoracentesis on 2/11/05. Her chronic renal insufficiency was noted with creatinine at baseline of 2.6 and it decreased significantly on this admission possibly because of improved forward flow from discontinuation of her ACE inhibitor. She was on iron and Epogen with an improved hematocrit from the prior admission but no change in her MCV which suggests that she has more than renal disease causing her microcytosis. Her diabetc diet was low sodium, low fat, low cholesterol and prophylaxis included Heparin and H2 blocker. Her discharge medications included 1. Lasix 80 mg p.o. b.i.d., 2. Metoprolol 12.5 mg p.o. b.i.d., 3. Lipitor 10 mg p.o. q.d., 4. Amitriptyline 25 to 50 mg p.o. q.h.s. p.r.n., 5. Multivitamins, 6. Aspirin 325 mg p.o. q.d., 7. Folate 100 mg p.o. q.d., 8. Lisinopril 20 mg p.o. q.d., 9. Iron gluconate 325 mg p.o. t.i.d., and 10. Epogen 5000 units subcu. q. week. She was screened for admission to Jack Nor Medical Center Of where she will go today with intense physical therapy and learning greater independence in her daily functioning. Her pelvic films were negative for fracture. She should be ambulated t.i.d. with follow up with Dr. Rufener when she is able, Lasix dose can be increased as needed for better diuresis, and studies pending include cytology and culture of pleural fluid and follow-up chest x-ray on the day of her discharge.

A 58 year old female smoker with a history of Coronary Artery Disease (CAD), Cirrhosis, Diabetes Mellitus Type II (DMII), Hypertension (HTN), and Hyperlipidemia was admitted to the CCU after an elective cardiac catheterization following an abnormal stress test. The cath showed impaired flow in the inferior and posterolateral zones due to obstructive degenerative disease in the SVGs to the RCA and LCF-OM, and a stent was placed in the RCA graft though there was extensive calcification and difficulty obtaining full stent expansion. After the stent deployment there was poor reflow accompanied by mild chest pain and EKG changes, without hemodynamic embarrassment. The patient experienced jaw and chest pain post-procedure which she described as different from previous episodes of angina. The pump-function was preserved, BP low-normal, and rhythm was NSR on telemetry. For pulmonary issues, the patient had a chronic cough due to post nasal drip which was taken off of her antihistamine on admission and CXR was normal with no acute changes. There were no renal issues during the hospital course and the patient was on Lantus, Novolog SS, and FS Glu monitored while in the hospital. Heme-wise, the patient had a cath and subsequent oozing from the site in the groin and was discharged on home meds including Plavix and ASA.

Why was the patient prescribed flagyl

Mr. Almon is a 51 year old gentleman with history of insulin dependent diabetes mellitus and unstable angina who was doing yard work and experienced an episode of nausea and vomiting along with chest discomfort. His EKG was noted to have an old T wave inversion in lead 3 which was now upright and ST depressions that were normalizing, along with CKs of 974 and MB 24.3 and Troponin level of 1.77. He received aspirin 5 mg of intravenous Lopressor, Heparin drip and Adenosine MIBI. Cardiac catheterization revealed Right dominant system, no significant left main lesions identified, left anterior descending coronary artery with a discreet mid 65% lesion, distal 99% lesion and first diagonal coronary artery with a proximal discrete 70% lesion, left circumflex coronary artery with a distal after the second obtuse marginal discrete 60% lesion, supplying the second obtuse marginal. First marginal coronary artery had an ostial discrete 90% lesion and a second obtuse marginal had an ostial discrete 100% lesion. Right coronary artery had a mid discrete 95% lesion supplying the right posterior descending coronary artery. The patient underwent echocardiogram which revealed mild concentric left ventricular hypertrophy with normal cavity size and left ventricular systolic function mildly reduced with an estimated ejection fraction of 45%, severe hypokinesis of the basal and mid segments of the inferior wall and inferior septum, and severe hypokinesis of the posterior wall, apex and distal anterior wall. He underwent coronary artery bypass graft x 3 with a left internal mammary artery to left anterior descending artery, saphenous vein graft to the obtuse marginal coronary artery and saphenous vein graft to the intermediate coronary artery.
