Hi~Does anyone know if there is a CPT code for a Blood Patch. I have never heard of this before.
Pt has a persistent air leak and bronchopleural fistula in the rt lung.
There was 30 ML of blood taken fro the patient's left subclavian Infusion-A-Port and injected into the 14-french chest tube. Chest tube was placed to water seal and clamped for 2 hours. The patient was then asked to assume several different positions.
The chest tube will be unclamped and pt will have repeat chest x-ray.
Thank you in advance!
