0624 - Sequence # 9080 | Hemorrhage (non-access site)

Video Transcription

Video Summary

In June 2024, Mrs. Blue underwent an AFib ablation procedure that resulted in a pericardial effusion with tamponade. The procedure had to be aborted, and she was emergently transferred for cardiac surgery. The coding for this case includes pericardial effusion resulting in cardiac tamponade, pericardial effusion requiring intervention, and unplanned emergent cardiac surgery. Additionally, hemorrhage non-access site should be coded as well if it meets certain criteria. Data Dictionary will be updated to include these criteria. This case highlights the importance of accurate coding and documentation in medical procedures.
