Video Transcription

Video Summary

In this video, the AFib Ablation Registry discusses a case scenario involving a patient named Mr. Simpson who had an AFib ablation procedure. The morning after the procedure, Mr. Simpson complains of lower abdominal pain. A large hematoma is discovered on the right groin access site used for the procedure, and his blood pressure is low. Manual pressure is applied, a saline bolus is administered, and a FemStop device is ordered. Mr. Simpson's hemoglobin has dropped, and a unit of red blood cells is ordered. The video confirms that the hematoma at the access site should be coded as an intra or post-procedure event based on the registry's criteria. The definition and criteria for coding a hematoma at the access site are also discussed.
