Where are we going
• There comes a point in any patient evaluation when a we must formulate
his or her own opinion on the patient’s status.
• The quality of this opinion is obviously determined by the amount of
training and experience of the doctor.
• The clinical impression – a “state of the patient” declaration is a useful
way of assessing the problems presented to you prior to your assessment,
the new problems that you discovered, and whether these are resolving or
not.
• “My impression of the problems:
• For eg
• 1) The acute lung injury is not resolving, we are unable to wean, but do
have a treatable cause – the nosocomial pneumonia.
• 2) The patient’s heart rate remains too high . In addition, the patient
should be reviewed for possible antiarrythmatics .
3) The hyperbilirubinemia remains unexplained – it may be
caused by AKT induce hepatits ,hemolysis, the patient did
have a massive transfusion, but may also be due to sepsis or
cholestasis. I feel that we should be overly concerned about
this problem at this time.
•Endocrine – the plan is to switch the patient over from i.v. insulin to
subcutaneous – 10units of NPH q12 with a 4 hourly sliding scale of regular
insulin
• .
• Heme and labs – the plan is no transfusion unless the hemoglobin falls
below 7.0g/l or platelets fall below 50,000.
• Devices – the plan is to remove the IJV CVC line, which is no longer
needed.”

Mr vyas age 49y
Day 1 post left lung decortication, complicated by 1. Resp Failure
2, ARF 3. septic shock 4. Multiple transfusion
Background: DM, IHD
Current Problems
1, Failure to wean
2.oliguria renal failure
3.arrhythmias
4.Hemodynamic instability
5.Increased creatinine
6.ICD care
• Neuro – Ramsay 4 on midazolam 4mg/hr, morphine 2mg/hr.
• Labs - 138/3.2/111/29 Hb 9.0 (1 unit RCC overnight), plat 230, PTR 1.5
• ID - Temp 38.2, WCC 19.2, pseudomonas in BAL x 2/7, tx piptaz 4.5gm
8hlry
• Devices – R IJV , RRAL
Impression
• ALI not resolving – infectious component. Blood pressure and Heart rate
remains a little fast in setting of ischemia – cardiology should review . His
low HB may be due to I/O bledding. Renal function is worsening and
setting a oliguric AKI with Puffiness of face is present .
• Plan
• Neuro – Decrease fentanyl today and assess neurologically
• Resp – wean fio2 and peep
• CVS – amiodarone / metoprolol to 5mg q8h, cardiology to see ?
• GI – feeds to goal 50ml/ 2hrly,
• Renal – electrolytes correction and nephorlogy to revive
• Endocrine – glycemic control withSGT of 150-180 mg/dl
• Extremeties – wound care to see
• Heme/labs – transfuse if Hb < 8,
• ID – continue antibiotics
• Devices – central line care n arterial care
