Video Transcription

Video Summary

In this video summary, a case scenario from the CAF PCI Registry in October 2022 is discussed. The scenario involves a 67-year-old female who presents to the emergency department with leg pain after a syncopal episode while rollerblading. She is unable to bear weight and has a deformity in her leg. The patient has no medical history, takes no medications, but exhibits symptoms of paleness, sweating, and nausea. After a positive STEMI reading on the pre-op ECG and a diagnosis of a right tib-fib fracture on the portable x-ray, the patient is taken to the CAF lab for PCI. In terms of coding, sequence number 7835, which identifies the STEMI or STEMI-equivalent, is coded as the first ECG since it captured the abnormality initially. A screening ECG is recommended for patients with atypical symptoms to rule out cardiac issues. The video concludes with credits for the CAF PCI Registry Monthly Case Scenario for October 2022.
