Mech vent at night only
I have a patient with a permanent trach who is on mechanical ventilation at night only. Patient was on this treatment prior to admit and we are having a hard time coding the ventilation. Codes 96.71 and 96.72 are for continuous invasive mechanical ventilation for 96hrs. This patient is on mechanical ventilation at night only and not continuous. How is this coded? Thank you
