Mr. Faiella is a 78 year old man who presented with two episodes of chest pain and had recently undergone a MV and TV repair with SVG to OM1. An EKG showed pacing and a CK revealed a TnI elevated at 0.17, while Adenosine MIBI revealed a fixed inf/lat defect, consistent with LCX disease. He was sent home with Nitroglycerin, and the pain recurred while watching TV, resolving with one Nitroglycerin tablet. CV: Ischemia was ruled out for MI, added Isordil to regimen, ASA, and continue Carvedilol, Captopril. Likely to have CAD, Adenosine MIBI origin, will stop nitrates. Pt was able to amubulate w/o SOB or CP, CHF: euvolemic, continue Lasix, Aldactone, Digoxin. Neuro: recent history of TIA, on Coumadin, may not want to reverse. On order, he was prescribed ECASA (Aspirin Enteric Coated) 325 mg PO QD, Coumadin PO (ref # 44750239), Captopril 12.5 mg PO TID, Aldactone PO (ref # 94240639), Digoxin 0.125 mg PO QOD, Lasix (Furosemide) 80 mg PO BID, Niferex-150 150 mg PO BID, Nitroglycerin 1/150 (0.4 mg) 1 tab SL q5min x 3 PRN chest pain HOLD IF: SBP < 100, Aldactone (Spironolactone) 25 mg PO QD, Coumadin (Warfarin Sodium) 6 mg PO QD, Carvedilol 3.125 mg PO BID HOLD IF: SBP < 100, and Celexa (Citalopram) 20 mg PO QD, with potential serious interactions between Aspirin & Warfarin, Captopril & Spironolactone, and Potassium Chloride & Digoxin. He was instructed to call his cardiologist and return to the emergency department if his chest pain recurs, worsens, or he becomes short of breath, and to make an appointment with Dr. Moxness within the next 1-2 weeks. VNA was asked to oversee medications, check vitals, and draw PT/INR once a week, while PT was asked to help Mr. Muskett regain strength, flexibility, and range of motion. Number of Doses Required (approximate): 5. There were overrides on orders for COUMADIN PO (ref # 44750239) and ALDACTONE PO (ref # 94240639) due to Potentially Serious Interactions: ASPIRIN & WARFARIN, CAPTOPRIL & SPIRONOLACTONE, and POTASSIUM CHLORIDE & SPIRONOLACTONE.
