Video Transcription

Video Summary

In the video, the case scenario focuses on a 75-year-old patient who underwent an atrial fibrillation (afib) ablation procedure. During the procedure, the patient was cardioverted twice. The first attempt at cardioversion using medication was unsuccessful, while the second attempt using direct current (DC) cardioversion was successful. The question arises as to how to code these cardioversion attempts. After reviewing the documentation, it is concluded that both methods of cardioversion should be coded, regardless of their success, as the question specifically asks if the methods were performed or attempted. The video concludes by thanking viewers for reviewing the afib ablation registry monthly case scenario for October 2021. No credits are mentioned.
