Event Description

(b)(6).Additional information received from the healthcare provider (hcp) for a clinical study reported the patient was hospitalized for four days.She was admitted with telemetry.A cardiac workup was conducted due to her extensive cardiac history and complaints of chest pain; there were no changes in her electrocardiogram and cardiac enzymes were negative.The patient was given zofran and morphine in the emergency room with some improvement in her symptoms and resolution of her chest pain.On the floor the patient was kept npo (nil per is, nothing per mouth) due to her vomiting.On (b)(6) 2015, the patient's systolic blood pressures were in the low 90s and high 80s with orthostatic symptoms; her blood pressure medications were help and she was given a 500 cc normal saline fluid bolus and her blood pressure responded appropriately.The morning of (b)(6), the patient reported she had not urinated since 5:00 am the day before.Her creatinine that day was found to be elevated to 2.92 (her admission creatinine was 0.9).A straight catheterization generated 450 ml of urine and a foley catheter was placed.Urine studies revealed a fractional excretion of sodium of 0.17% and hyaline casts, suggesting an acute tubular necrosis likely secondary to hypotension.Fluids were started at 50 ml of normal saline per hour.The patient was encouraged to increase her oral fluid intake and nephrology recommended a renal ultrasound which did not show any abnormalities.The patient's acute kidney injury began to resolve during the rest of her hospitalization.The patient should have a repeat basic metabolic panel to monitor creatinine with her personal medical doctor after discharge.On (b)(6), the patient's surgeon evaluated and made an adjustment to her gastric pacemaker due to the recent worsening of her symptoms.The patient was maintained on coumadin while in the hospital for her left ventricular thrombus.She was given 7.5 mg on (b)(6) and on the (b)(6) she remained therapeutic until the (b)(6) when her inr (international normalized ratio) was 3.2.She was then given 2.5 mg that evening.It was noted on telemetry additional impulses were noted that were not in accordance with the pacemaker, the pacemaker was interrogated and these spikes were found to be due to the gastric stimulator.
