URT composed of the nose, the pharynx, and the larynx the organs of the upper respiratory that
are located outside the chest cavity.
Nasal cavity – inside the nose, the sticky mucous membrane ling the nasal cavity traps dust
particles, and tiny hairs called cilia help move them to the nose to be sneezed or blown out
Sinuses - these air filled spaces alongside the nose help make the skull lighter
Pharynx – both food and air pass through the pharynx before reaching their appropriate
destinations. The pharynx also plays a role in speech
Larynx – the larynx is essential to human speech
Trachea – located just below the larynx the trachea is the main airway to the lungs
Lungs - together the lungs from one of the body’s largest organs they’ve responsible for
providing oxygen to capillaries and exhaling cabondioxide
Bronchi – the bronchi from the trachea into each lungs and create the network of intricate
passages that supply the lungs with air
Diaphragm – the diaphragm is the main respiratory muscle that contracts and relaxes to allow
air into the lungs
Coding points:
Identify whether an artery, vein or both are being used as bypass graft
How many grafts being done
Harvesting Guidelines:
Harvesting of saphenous veins is included in veins procedure. Whereas some other vein should
be separately coded.
Some other vein
Harvesting guidelines
Harvesting of all artery included in artery procedure except upper extremity artery (e.g.) (radial or ulna
artery)
Q4. CABG x 5, first 2 is harvested from radial artery, another 3 is harvested from endoscopic vein?
Selective catheterization
CVIR = 362XX (category) for 4 & 5th digit we have some guidelines
1st order: 5
2nd order: 6
Jugular Basilic
Subclavian Cephalic
Femoral vein
Inferior vena cava
3. Check whether the procedure is performed with port pump or without port pump
Example:
1. Patient is 4 year old patient came to ED for respiratory failure physician performed catheter into
femoral vein for treatment purpose?
Answer:
2. Catheter inserted into basilic vein with US guidance for 10 year old patient.
Pacemaker (Cardiovascular System)
Defibrillators are devices that restore a normal heartbeat by sending an electric pulse or shock to the
heart. They are used to prevent or correct an arrhythmia, a heartbeat that is uneven or that is too slow
or too fast. Defibrillators can also restore the heart's beating if the heart suddenly stops
Electrodes may be inserted through a vein – Trans venous or they may be placed on the surface of the
heart – epicardial. The epicardial location of the electrodes requires a thoracotomy for electrode
insertion.
Wire specifically y inserted into the vein of the heart.
Types of pacemaker:
1. Single chamber pacemaker: includes a pulse generator and one electrode inserted in either the
atrium or ventricle
2. Dual chamber pacemaker: pulse generator + one electrode inserted in the right atrium and one
electrode inserted in the right ventricle.
3. Bi ventricular pacemaker: pulse generator + electrode inserted into right & left ventricle.
4. Multiple chamber pacemaker: pulse generator + electrodes inserted into right & left atrium and
right or left ventricle
Coding points:
1. Types of pacemaker
2. Electrodes insertion method
a. Epicardial method
b. Trans-venous/Intravenous
3. Pacemaker is permanent or temporary
Default: PERMANENT
4. Methods:
Placement
Removal
Replacement
Example:
1. Removal and replacement of dual chamber pacemaker via transvenous
Anterior Posterior
Anterior
When blood flows out from the front of the nose with the patient in sitting position
Posterior
Bleed from the nose lacrimal duct mainly blood flows back into throat
Complex – Packing with nasal balloon, rhino rocket, Vaseline gauze, wick placement
