CV ASC Registry Education-Intra or Post-Procedure Event Types - Bleeding

Video Transcription

To code yes for bleeding at access site, there must be documentation the patient experienced external bleeding at the access or percutaneous site that's coded in sequence 7320 arterial access site that was observed and documented in the medical record.  Then, once that is identified, there must be any one of the following, a hemoglobin drop of three or more, a transfusion, or a procedural intervention or surgery at the bleeding site to reverse stop or correct the bleeding.  While there may be documentation that criteria number one or two or three took place, when there is no documentation reflecting the patient experienced external bleeding at the access site, this bleeding event would not be captured.

Video Summary

To code 'yes' for bleeding at the access site, it is necessary to have documentation of external bleeding at the access or percutaneous site. This should be followed by coding the arterial access site as 7320. Subsequently, a hemoglobin drop of three or more, a transfusion, or a procedural intervention/surgery at the bleeding site must be present to reverse/stop the bleeding. If there is no documented external bleeding at the access site, the bleeding event will not be captured, even if other criteria are met.
