ICD10 PCS Code for Blood Patch into Pleural Space for Chest tube Air leak
This one gave me a headache because I couldn't find the PCS code. Please see the procedure note below:
PROCEDURES PERFORMED: blood patch to right upper lobe via chest tube
ANESTHESIA: None
ESTIMATED BLOOD LOSS: None
FINDINGS: Persistent air-leak reduced after blood patch introduced
SPECIMEN REMOVED: None
COMPLICATIONS: None
IMPLANTS: 50 cc Autologous Blood
TECHNIQUE:
The patient was initially prepped and draped in the usual fashion. The skin prep was performed with Betadine and then the chest tube was also prepped. Patient was turned into the left; lateral decubitus
position and then 50 cc of autologous blood was removed from the PICC line and this was introduced into the right chest tube and the atrium was elevated above the chest to keep the blood within the pleural cavity while the patient was turned in the supine, right lateral and left lateral positions to circulate the blood. The chest tubes were maintained on suction during this time. The air-leak was reduced afterwards, and then a 0-0 silk suture was used to close the gap around the chest tube to ensure no air would leak between the tubes and skin

Site where is is administered, not where it takes effect: but in this case they are the same...3E0L3GC.
