Discharge Report
Patient: Patricia Lorez
Physician: Bart Elders, MD
Hospital Course: This 52-year-old white female was noted on
chest x-ray to have a lesion in her right lung. It was followed
for a short period of time and appeared to be somewhat
denser. She was, therefore, submitted for a thoracic surgical
consultation. After extensive preoperative evaluation by Dr.
Green and Dr. Black, she was thought to be a suitable
candidate for thoracotomy.
On March 3, she underwent a right upper and right middle
lobectomy for a stage 1 adenocarcinoma, which appeared to
be in the right upper lobe with extension across the fissure to
the right middle lobe. The patient was maintained overnight in
the ICU, after which she was extubated and transferred to the
ambulatory ward. The epidural was removed on the second
postoperative day, and the chest tubes were removed on the
fourth postoperative day. From that point on, with an episode
of atrial fibrillation occurring the fifth day postoperatively, she
was treated with digoxin and diltiazem with resolution. She did
have short bursts of atrial fibrillation, however, the day prior
to discharge; therefore, she was begun on oral anticoagulation
in anticipation that she may continue to have episodes of
atrial fibrillation after discharge. On the seventh postoperative
day, the patient was discharged home and given a return
appointment in two weeks with a chest x-ray, rhythm strip,
and protime.
Medications at the time of discharge:
1.
Digoxin 0.25 mg p.o. q.d.
2.
Diltiazem 120 mg p.o. q.6h
3.
Ipratropium bromide inhalers
4.
Coumadin 5 mg p.o. q.d.
5.
Percodan as needed for pain
Final Diagnosis: Stage I adenocarcinoma, right upper lobe

Read the following record of operation and select the correct anesthesia code.
Record of Operation
Patient: Ann Zantza
Physician: Dennis Munoz, MD
Preoperative Diagnosis: Cancer of right breast
Postoperative Diagnosis: Cancer of right breast
Surgeon: Morton Holden, MD
History: This patient has cancer of the right breast. It was elected to do a right total mastectomy
with an axillary dissection.
Procedure: This patient was given a general anesthetic. The right arm was free draped, and she
was prepped and draped in this position. We marked our superior and inferior skin incisions, and
then we developed our superior flap and went down to the chest wall. We then developed the
inferior flap and went down to the chest wall. We then removed the breast going from medial to
lateral. We then marked it from pathological orientation. I then opened up the clavipectoral
fascia. There was an easily palpable node in an area where I had felt palpable nodes before her
neoadjuvant chemotherapy. I dissected this node out. This could be a sentinel node, but I
obviously do not know that for sure. However, it is in the area where I felt palpable nodes, and I
elected to send it for frozen section with the idea that if I saw a tumor within the node, then I
would consider being more aggressive with my axillary dissection. We sent this for frozen
section and it came back with no tumor. It could be that there was a tumor in this node and
chemotherapy dealt with it. Either way, we continued with our axillary dissection, but we elected
not to go after level II nodes because this was negative. We identified the axillary vein, the long
thoracic nerve, and the thoracodorsal vessels and nerves, and then we did a formal axillary
dissection going from below the axillary vein all the way down. We sent this for pathology. We
had excellent hemostasis. We clipped multiple small vessels and lymphatics. We irrigated out the
wound with fluid that had Ancef in it. We then put a Hemovac drain through a separate wound
laterally inferiorly and put one limb in the axilla and one limb on the chest wall. We sutured

stitches, and then staples were placed in the skin. Telfa toppers and gauze were applied. The

Read the following operative report and select the correct CPT Anesthesia code.
Operative Report
Patient: Patricia Ortez
Physician: Harold Green, MD
Preoperative Diagnosis: Left frozen shoulder
Postoperative Diagnosis: Left frozen shoulder
Procedures Performed:
1.
Arthroscopic debridement, left shoulder
2.
Joint manipulation, left shoulder
Clinical History: This 52-year-old lady presented with a history of progressive pain and
discomfort of her left shoulder. The evaluation confirmed evidence of left frozen shoulder. After
the risks and benefits of anesthesia and surgery were explained to the patient, the decision was
made to undertake the procedure.
Report of Operation: Under general anesthesia, the patient was laid in the beach-chair position
on the operating room table. The left shoulder was prepped and draped in the usual fashion. A
standard posterior arthroscopic portal was created, with the camera introduced into the back
joint. We had excellent visualization. It was immediately apparent that there was substantial
inflammation throughout the entirety of the joint. Using a switch stick technique, we created an
anterior portal and brought in the 7-mm cannula from the front. With a 4.0 double-biter resector,
the synovium was then debrided throughout the entirety of the rotator cuff over the surface of the
biceps and the anterior ligamentous structures, as well as irrigated to remove any blood. The
articular surfaces were inspected and found to be normal. The attachment of the biceps was
normal, although it had been covered with synovium. Anterior ligamentum structures were free
from the subscapularis. The joint was then infiltrated with 80 mg of Depo-Medrol and 12 cc of
Marcaine. The instruments were removed. The arthroscopic portal was closed with absorbable
sutures and Steri-strips. The joint was then manipulated. Prior to manipulation, we had about 90
degrees of elevation passively. Post manipulation evaluation was free up to 180 degrees, and
external rotation in an abducted position was possible to 90 degrees, as was internal rotation.
Extension was possible to 40 degrees, and adduction was possible to 50 degrees. The wounds
were then dressed with Myopore dressing. The patient was then placed in a CryoCuff sling,
awakened and placed on her hospital bed and taken to the recovery room in good condition.
