Question 1 Needs Grading What is the code for a tunneled centrally inserted central venous catheter‚ without pump or port‚ in a 72-year-old patient? CPT Code: ____________________ Selected Answer: 36558 Correct Answer: 36558 Rationale: The coder should begin by locating the main term "Insertion" and then the subterm "Venous." After reviewingthe codes in the tabular list the coder should select 36558 because this is a "72 year old patient." Question 2 Needs Grading CPR (Cardiopulmonary

may be caused by a blocked artery or the leaking or bursting of a blood vessel. Some people may experience only a temporary disruption of blood flow to their brain. According to the American Heart Association‚ the vast majority of strokes is eighty-seven percent are ischemic strokes. There are three different kinds of stroke. One of the most common stroke is called Ischemic stroke. About eighty-five percent of strokes are ischemic strokes. It happens when the arteries to your brain become blocked

The main common carotid artery splits into the external carotid artery and the internal carotid artery. The external carotid artery supplies blood to the exterior features outside of the skull‚ primarily the exterior of the face and the neck. The internal carotid artery supplies blood to the interior of the skull‚ including the anterior

that is very common.Which is called Peripheral Artery Disease. Peripheral Artery Disease or P.A.D. is something that causes plaque buildup in the arteries that carries blood to the head‚ organs‚ and limbs. P.A.D. affects the body from blocking the blood flow or slowing it down. It is more known in people older than 50. The disease is caused by a condition known as atherosclerosis. Atherosclerosis causes a waxy substance to form inside the arteries also known as plaque (Cholesterol)l. It affects

The full name for heart disease is coronary heart disease. This is when there are blockages in the coronary arteries. These blockages are usually cause by atherosclerosis. “Atherosclerosis is the buildup of cholesterol and fatty deposits‚ also called plaques‚ on the inner walls of the coronary arteries” (A‚ 2). When these blockages start to form issues come about. Since the arteries are being blocked‚ it can result in less blood traveling to the heart. If the blood traveling to the heart is

While standing at the upper arm‚ feel for the axillary artery (lateral to the pectoralis muscle) and draw a line along it from the mid-axilla to the lower axilla. This is helpful orientation for the longitudinal course of the artery. When trying to visualize the brachial plexus‚ it is imperative to know the nerve position in relation to the axillary artery pulse. For example‚ the median nerve lies superior to the pulse‚ the ulnar nerve

CHAPTER.1 INTRODUCTION For decades‚ scientists have been using electromagnetic and sonic energy to serve medicine. But‚ aside from electro surgery‚ their efforts have focused on diagnostic imaging of internal body structures—particularly in the case of x-ray‚ MRI‚ and ultrasound systems. Lately‚ however‚ researchers have begun to see acoustic and electromagnetic waves in a whole new light‚ turning their attention to therapeutic—rather than diagnostic—applications. Current research is exploiting

and arteriovenous malformation. Some that are less common‚ but do occur would include drugs‚ infection‚ and trauma. Dissecting aneurysms occur when blood enters a vessel wall through a rupture in the intima‚ which is the inner lining of vein or artery. The damage in dissecting aneurysms varies greatly depending on the damage it has already caused. These are the weakest aneurysms‚ because they don’t leave the premises of the parent vessel. There are cases were dissecting aneurysms cause great damage

incision in the chest to correct and fix abnormalities affecting heart production. The most common type of heart surgery: Coronary artery bypass grafting which improves the blood flow to the heart (Types of Heart Surgery NHLBI‚ 2013). The procedure involves using a healthy artery or vein from the body and connecting/grafting‚ to the blocked coronary artery. The grafted artery or vein bypasses the blocked portion‚ creating a new path for oxygen-rich blood to flow to the heart muscles (Types of Heart Surgery

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) refers to damage to‚ or disease of‚ the heart‚ arteries‚ veins and/or smaller blood vessels. The three major forms of this disease are: * Coronary heart disease – the poor supply of blood to the muscular walls of the heart by its own blood supply vessels‚ the coronary arteries * Stroke – the interruption of the supply of blood to the brain * Peripheral Vascular disease – diseases of the arteries‚ arterioles and capillaries that affect the limbs‚ usually reducing blood
