Assessment/Plan
Mrs. Smith is a 67 Y.O. female with a past medical history of diabetes (on
‘metformin+ glimepiride, last Aic 6.5% 8/2017), asthma, hyperlipidemia, HTN,
hypothyroidism, dysrhythmias (hx of multiple SVTs and VTS, no history of Afb, no
known codes in the past who presented to ED 5/2/18 complaining of progressively
worsening SOB for the past week.
1, Shortness of breath RO6.02, SOB (shortness of breath) RO6.02
‘SOB began 7 days ago and progressively worsened. Pt was given one time
Duoneb in ED. Currently on nebulizer albuterol ¢4, PRN,
LUkely multifactorial; likely due to viral URI which may have precipitated the afib
with RVR.
Event study via Holter monitor in 8/8/2015 described 278 SVTS and suggested
presence of episodes similar to Afib.
Less likely PE considering no recent history of prolonged immobility.
Less likely thyroid related considering recent TSH level normal 0.722
Plan:
+ continue albuterol
-Solu-Medrol 60 mg dally with titration as tolerated
= monitor pulse ox
- Therapeutic heparin drip for Afb will also address PE if present
2. Rapid atrial fibrillation 148.91,
New onset. Previous Holter Monitor analysis report on 7/26/18 stated presence of
AFib 3% burden.
CHA2DS2-VASc Score of 4, at high risk for stroke.
Hemodynamically stable.
Plan:
+ continue ditiazem drip Smg/hr for rate control, wean as tolerated
- anticoagulation with heparin drip with bridging to PO anticoagulation as covered
by insurance
= telemetry monitoring
= Regular vital signs to assess hemodynamic stability
3. HTN (hypertension) 110
With hypertensive urgency.
Patient was considerably hypertensive on admission to a peak of 200/138.
Shortness of breath unlikely secondary to hypertensive emergency as there is no
evidence of pulmonary edema on chest x-ray, no altered mental status or chest.
pain. Review of vitals from previous admissions shows consistently elevated
systolic BP ranging 140-180. Home medications include Metoprolol 25mg daily,
HTZD 12.5mg daily.
Plan:
Goal SBP 150 mmHg and first 24 hours
Holding home antihypertensives as the patient is on diltiazem drip
4. Viral URI with cough 306.9
