decubitus ulcer - Patient was transferred down from the ICU to the progressive care unit on IV
worsening
Zosyn Cipro Vanco. Patient worsened and began developing fevers and blood cultures came out positive for
bacteroides ovatus Bacteremia with sensitivities pending. Patients vancomycin was discontinued and this

that his sacral wound was more fluctuant and worsening. General Surgery was also consulted again for which
upon discussion with family no surgical intervention was decided upon and patient and family agreed to take
patient home to his daughter's place for home with hospice. Recheck blood cultures otherwise showed no
growth however is likely slow-growing secondary to the anaerobic nature of Bacteroides. In regards to
patients wound care he is continued on Medihoney application to sacral wound with ABD covering to the
sacral wound with use of hypafix tape to secure the ABD pads and changing daily as well as p.r.n. Soiling.

only
hold parameters. Patients blood pressure did decrease with fevers as well from sepsis and at this point patient
is not discharged on any Antihypertensives as he is going home with hospice.

Indication:
sepsis, AMS, vomiting, sacral ulcer
Technique: Axial images were obtained without iv contrast and with
multi-planar reconstruction.
Findings: Lower Chest: Small dependent right lower pleural effusion with
mild right lower lobe compressive atelectasis. Small to moderate
incompletely visualized left pleural effusion . Mild left lower lobe
compressive atelectasis. Cardiomegaly. Density blood is less than
myocardium suggestive of underlying anemia.
Hyperdense spleen measuring 77 HU can be seen with sickle cell disease,
secondary to iron deposition or Thorotrast accumulation. Liver is of
normal density measuring 50-60 Hounsfield density units. punctate
benign-appearing hepatic calcification. Cholelithiasis. No biliary
dilatation identified. The pancreas is grossly unremarkable in appearance.
There is symmetric bilateral renal atrophy. 4.6 cm exophytic left upper
pole renal cyst measures 14 HU. Diffuse arterial sclerosis involving the
small renal arteries. Adrenal glands unremarkable. Urinary bladder not
distended. Mild bladder wall thickening.
There is diffuse arteriosclerosis most prominent within a small arteries.
Is the patient diabetic? No abdominal aortic aneurysm.
There is no significant ascites. However, there is moderate diffuse
subcutaneous body wall edema.
There is soft tissue thickening and abnormal density along the posterior
aspect of the sacrum and coccyx with subcutaneous air bubbles identified
along the right posterior aspect of the coccyx and in the left gluteal
soft tissue structures extending into the left gluteal musculature. The
left gluteal musculature is enlarged. There is no focal localized fluid
collection identified suggestive of abscess. Findings are compatible with
known sacral decubitus ulcer and underlying cellulitis and left gluteal
myositis. No focal destructive bony changes identified. No suspicious
periostitis. The soft tissue fullness and stranding extends to the
posterior aspect of the anus. There is no focal intrapelvic fluid
collection. There is increased stool within the rectum with moderate
distension and resultant rectal wall thickening.
There is mild generalized stranding within the peritoneal and mesenteric
fat. There are a few mildly dilated loops of proximal mid small bowel,
nonspecific.. No bowel wall thickening.
Six lumbar-type vertebral bodies. Mild compression fracture superior
