“A 2-year-old patient presents to the ED after having fallen in a lake, with a near drowning. The patient is in shock. Regular venous access methods have failed, and the emergency department attending physi-cian decides to do a venous cutdown. After a transverse incision over the vein of the patient’s ankle is made, a small stab incision is done distal to the first incision. Two sutures are placed around the vein. A cannula is passed though the incision of the vein. The skin is closed in layers with sutures.” The post What is the appropriate CPT codes and modifier for this question??? first appeared on Nursing School Essays.
