CMP Z13.228
Lactic Acid R74.0
Urinalysis 810003
EKG R94.31
Results:
Patient received a pelvic exam. Pelvic exam tolerated well with no complications. Cervix appears closed.
No clots, blood, discharge was seen within the vaginal vault. On bi-manual examination patient did not
have any tenderness while palpating the abdomen. CMP showed potassium of 5.9 and was moderately
hemolyzed, CMP was redrawn and was completely unremarkable with potassium of 3.9 and no
hemolysis. CBC has no abnormal findings. Hemoglobin 12.4 hematocrit 37.6. Urinalysis shows no
leukocyte esterase, ketones, or white blood cells. Patient negative for urinary tract infection. Lactic acid
with a normal limit at 0.9. Point of care pregnancy test negative. Per the wet prep there are no
abnormal findings. Patient received Toradol 30 mg IV once and Zofran 4 mg IV once in emergency
department for symptom relief regarding abdominal pain and nausea. CT of the head was unremarkable
with no mass or hemorrhage. Ultrasound reading demonstrates normal myometrial echotexture.
Endometrium is thickened and mildly heterogeneous. Right ovary: complicated cystic structure within
the right ovary measures 29 mm. Appears to contain some internal septations and what appears to be a
retracting clot. Probable hemorrhagic cyst. There is normal arterial and Venus Doppler flow. No right
adnexal mass. Left ovary shows cystic structure within the left ovary which also contain some internal
septations and what appears to be a retracting clot. Probable hemorrhagic cyst. This measures 26 mm in
largest dimension. There is normal arterial Venus Doppler flow. No left adnexal mass. There is a small
amount of simple appearing fluid identified in the right hemipelvis and cul-de-sac.
12 lead EKG as interpreted by the emergency room attending and myself. Heart rate of 91. Normal sinus
rhythm. No ST elevation or depression noted. Normal axis deviation. No previous EKGs for comparison.
Assessment & Plan: (Include Primary Diagnosis* and Pertinent Diagnosis with ICD-10 codes related to
overall plan of care)
Follow up with OB/GYN in 1-2 days. In many cases hemorrhagic cysts go away on their own
however if the cyst is > 10 cm surgery may be considered. Patients’ bilateral cysts are 19mm on
the right and 26mm on the left.
Recommended follow up pelvic ultrasound in 10-12 weeks to reassess the bilateral ovaries and
endometrium. Specifically, it is important to obtain this ultrasound within the first 10 days of
menstrual cycle.
Repeat labs per OB/GYN for monitoring of hemoglobin and hematocrit.
Patient received Toradol 30 mg iv once and Zofran 4mg iv once in emergency department for
symptom relief.
Patient received Toradol 30 mg iv once and Zofran 4mg iv once in emergency department for
symptom relief.
Patient instructed to abstain from sexual intercourse.
Patient given prescription for naproxen 500 mg bid x7 days for symptom relief until seen by
OB/GYN. Non-steroidal anti-inflammatories reduce prostaglandin levels which are elevated in
women with excessive bleeding. With pt having hemorrhagic cysts and upcoming menstrual
cycle this is the best option to prevent further blood loss or complications.
Follow up with OB/GYN in 1-2 days
