0520 - Sequence # 9025 | Bradycardia Adverse Events

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The video discusses a case scenario in which a patient experienced a bradycardia adverse event after an AFib ablation procedure. During recovery, the patient had a vagal response, resulting in lightheadedness, a heart rate decrease to 35, and a decrease in blood pressure. Despite a fluid bolus, the patient did not respond, but after an atropine bolus, the vital signs returned to normal. The event will be coded as a bradycardia adverse event based on updated coding instructions. However, it will not be counted as a major adverse event in Metric 4 since it was transient and did not require permanent pacing. No additional credits were mentioned in the transcript.
