The other day, I was asked to write the admission orders for a sick patient for the very first time. Every doctor I have seen has taken different approaches towards writing these notes. For me, the two acronyms below has worked well for me and covers most issues that needs to be addressed when admitting.
AD DAVID
- Admit to / Allergies
- Diagnosis
- Diet type
- Activity level
- Vitals / IV
- Investigations (e.g. blood work, imaging, consults)
- Drugs
Under the medication orders, I use the following acronym: BE SAD PP
- Bowel protocol
- Emesis protocol
- Sleep
- Antibiotics
- DVT prophylaxis
- Pain
- Pre-admission medications
AD DAVID
- Admitido por / Alergias
- Diagnostico
- Tipo de Dieta
- Nivel de Actividad
- Signos Vitales
- Investigaciones (análisis de sangre, imagenología, consultas, etc.)
- Drogas (fármacos)
Bajo las órdenes de medicamentos, uso la siguiente sigla:
BE SAD PP (Cambiado a IESATDM ya que no encontré modo de mantener las siglas en ingles.)
- Protocolo de Intestino
- Protocolo de Emesis
- Sueño
- Antibióticos
- Profilaxis de la TVP
- Dolor
- Medicamentos antes del ingreso

Inferior rib notching - refers to a remodeling deformity of the lower aspect of the ribs, usually induced by dilated intercostal vessels. Arterial dilatation most commonly occurs when there is obstruction of the aorta such as in coarctation, while venous dilatation may occur in the setting of SVC obstruction. In both settings the intercostal vessels act as collaterals to bypass the primary vascular obstruction with the rib notching being a secondary effect. Nerve sheath tumours are the major non-vascular cause of inferior rib notching.
Muescas en la parte inferior de las costillas - se refiere a una deformidad que remodela la cara inferior de las costillas, generalmente inducida por vasos intercostales dilatados. Dilatación arterial ocurre más comúnmente cuando hay una obstrucción de la aorta como en la coartación, mientras que la dilatación venosa puede ocurrir en el establecimiento de obstrucción de la VCS (vena cava superior). En ambos ajustes los vasos intercostales actúan como colaterales para evitar la obstrucción vascular primaria con el entallado de las costillas siendo un efecto secundario. Tumores de las vainas nerviosas son las causas principales no vascular de muescas en la parte inferior de las costillas.

Patient #1: The patient is a 35-year-old rancher who goes to his family doctor due to an ulcerated lesion on his hand that is black and most likely necrotic. The rancher claims that the lesion does not cause him pain, but he has recently developed a fever and a headache. Further questioning reveals that several of the patient’s cattle have recently died from unknown causes.Patient #2: Around the same time, a man in the same region visits the ER and presents with a fever, chills, shortness of breath, headache, and a cough. These progress to edema and swelling of the mediastinal lymph nodes. Within three days of presenting the latter symptoms, the patient dies. Upon questioning of family members it is revealed that he had visited a sheep farm three months prior.
