Need some help with this case. Patient had a completed EGD in our ASC,went into Respiratory Arrest afterward. Physician did CPR until EMS arrived to transport patient to hospital. Patient was given supportive medication and had an ECG. CPR was done for 25min. I know this does not qualify for the Critical Care codes since it was under 30min. Not sure what to code other than the EGD (43239 - patient had biopsy), CPR 92950. I really like some help with this. Thanks, Robin
