0621 - Sequence # 10025 | Discharge Atrial Rhythm

Video Transcription

Video Summary

In this video, the AFib Ablation Registry presents a case scenario focused on a patient named Mr. Sanders who undergoes an AFib ablation procedure. The procedure is successful, resulting in sinus rhythm immediately post-procedure. However, an ECG performed on the discharge day shows a rhythm of AFib. The question posed is how to code the atrial rhythm at discharge, and the answer is AFib. The video emphasizes the importance of accurately coding the discharge atrial rhythm as it affects new data metrics in the Registry's dashboard. These metrics include the proportion of patients discharged in sinus rhythm, atrial paste rhythm, or a rhythm other than sinus or atrial paste. More information on these metrics can be found in the minutes of the Registry's May 2020 call.
