Week 5 Assignment Questions
1. Locate the subheading “Pacemaker or Pacing Cardioverter-Defibrillator” following the “Heart and Pericardium” heading in the CPT manual, read the special notes and guidelines provided and identify how electrodes may be inserted.
The doctor makes an incision at the insertion point. Then the docotr inserts a sheath into a blood vessel, usually under the collarbone. A lead wire is inserted through the sheath into the blood vessel. The doctor will run the lead wire through the blood vessel into the heart. It is then tested. The defibrillator electrode will be slipped under the skin through the incision after the lead wire is attached to the generator. Certain tests may then be performed to assess the device function. The incision would then be closed.
