Video Transcription

Video Summary

The video is a case scenario from the IMPACT Registry in June 2022, focusing on sequence number 8075, an airway event requiring escalation of care. The case involves a 37-year-old male with a history of surgically corrected Tetralogy of Fallot, sleep apnea, and asthma. The patient presents to the emergency department with symptoms of increasing shortness of breath, cough, fatigue, and palpitations. After various tests, including labs, ECG, chest x-ray, and echocardiogram, the patient undergoes a transcatheter pulmonary valve replacement. Later on, the patient complains of shortness of breath and low oxygen saturation. A STAT echocardiogram reveals no change in the valve position. Due to hypoventilation concerns, the patient is started on BiPAP. The question posed is whether sequence number 8075 should be coded as an airway event requiring escalation of care, with the answer being yes. The scenario highlights that escalation of care for airway events includes episodes of apnea, hypoxia, or obstruction, not limited to intubation only.
