CV ASC Registry Education-Seq#7210 (Cumulative Air Kerma)

Video Transcription

Sequence 7210, Cumulative Air Kerma, is indicating the total radiation dose recorded to the nearest  milligray or gray between start of the PCI, cath PCI procedure, as coded in sequence 7000, procedure start date and time, to the end of the cath PCI procedure, as coded in sequence  7005, procedure end date and time. The value recorded should include the total dose for the lab visit.  Cumulative Air Kerma is the total air kerma accrued from the beginning of an examination or procedure and includes all contributions from fluoroscopic and radiographic irradiation.  This element is captured as a whole number. However, if you have a cumulative air kerma that reports to a decimal value, then please truncate or drop the decimal values.  As an example, if the level is reported as 50.3 milligray, then code 50 milligray and simply drop the 3.
