Pt had surgery earlier in the day, had continuous bleeding, pressure was applied for 40 minutes and then was taken back to operating room.
Procedure is described as follows: Staples were removed, area was flushed, no bleeders could be identified. Surgicel was used with direct pressure...bleeding was minimal, this was followed by hemostatic powder. Bleeding continued to be reduced..patient remained in OR until bleeding completely under control.
I cannot find any code that would work? Or I have no idea where to even look. Help?
