Diagnostic Information | |||||
Final Diagnosis For Which Treatment Was Sought Including Patient's Actual Condition | |||||
The patient presented to the emergency room via rescue because she was found at home unconscious. ER found the patient to have low hemoglobin and hematocrit and a slightly elevated troponin level. She was admitted to telemetry for transfusion of blood and possible cardiac workup. The patient had been started on DVT prophylaxis and a 2D Echocardiogram had been ordered. The patient was transferred to ICU where she was evaluated by an Intensivist who felt that the patient's ABG results indicated the patient had lactic acidosis. His impression was altered mental status secondary to metabolic acidosis. He ordered a neurology consult and CVP line for placement for fluid resuscitation. Cardiology responded and did a full evaluation of the patient. Cardiology agreed with the working diagnosis and noted he would check the second 2D Echo, which had already been ordered by the admitting hospitalist, in order to evaluate left ventricular function and valvular anatomy. Neurology then evaluated the patient and suspected the patient's syncopal episode was due to severe anemia. The neurologist then ordered an EEG. While the patient was undergoing the Echo, she began to have a seizure episode. The patient was transfused another two unis of blood and began Cerebrax for seizure activity. The 2D Echo was completed, revealing a right ventricular systolic pressure of 56mmHg. This finding was not reported to anyone by the panel cardiologist that interpreted the study. Instead the report was placed in the electronical medical chart. | |||||
Operation, Diagnostic, Or Treatment Procedure Rendered Causing The Injury | |||||
This provider saw and examined the patient in his capacity as the covering intensivist service. The patient's physical exam was normal with the exception of some altered mental status. The patient did not have any indication of DVT and it was noted that the patient did not have any difficulty breathing. The provider's impression was altered mental status secondary to anemia and possible seizures. The provider noted the metabolic acidosis had been corrected and the WBC was now normal. He recommended to discontinue antibiotics and ordered a recheck of the hemoglobin and hematocrit. | |||||
Diagnostic Code : | |||||
Misdiagnosis Made, If Any, Of Patient's Actual Condition | |||||
There was no misdiagnosis. The allegation consisted of the failure to review the second 2D Echocardiogram results and prescribe appropriate testing and treatment plan which resulted in a pulmonary embolism. | |||||
Principal Injury Giving Rise To The Claim | |||||
Cause of death was related to pulmonary embolism. | |||||
