Video Transcription

Video Summary

In this August 2026 case scenario, Ms. Freeman underwent successful atrial fibrillation ablation with pulse field ablation. During registry abstraction, the team found documentation that she received intravenous amilteron for four days during a January 2025 hospitalization. Because this was an extended infusion and there is proof she took it in the past, amilteron should be coded as <strong>past</strong> in the pre-procedure medication field. The video also explains the other options: current, held, and never, and notes that one-time or PRN medications are generally not captured unless they represent ongoing use.
