Case Log Coding Guidelines Review Committee for Otolaryngology ACGME The following Case Log Coding Guidelines have been provided in an attempt to establish some degree of uniformity for all otolaryngology residents for logging cases into the ACGME Case Log System. The Review Committee for Otolaryngology publicly thanks and credits the Harvard otolaryngology residency program, for drafting the initially proposed document that was utilized in the development of these guidelines, and the University of Michigan program for the most recent revisions. Please note that these guidelines additionally provide role definitions for Resident Surgeon, Resident Assistant, and Resident Supervisor, and demarcate those procedural codes that define Key Indicator Cases (as indicated by red asterisks *). These cases constitute the 14 procedure categories identified by the Review Committee to be representative of otolaryngology surgical education. Also included are instructions for the proper un-bundling of procedures (as indicated by blue text) for Case Log recording (but not billing) purposes. This document contains a linkable Table of Contents for electronic use, but is also designed to print in booklet form (pages 2-9). This document will be periodically updated by the Review Committee for Otolaryngology based on updates to key indicator cases and procedures. Program directors will be notified of such updates via the ACGME e-Communication or other correspondence. 1 ©2012 Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) Table of Contents GENERAL/ENDOSCOPY/RHINOLOGY ......................................................................... 2 Emergency Department Procedures ........................................................................... 2 Post-operative Complications ..................................................................................... 3 Endoscopy: Airway and Foreign Body Procedures ..................................................... 3 Sinus Surgery ............................................................................................................. 3 General/Pediatric ........................................................................................................ 4 PEDIATRIC OTOLARYNGOLOGY ................................................................................. 4 LARYNGOLOGY ............................................................................................................ 4 HEAD and NECK SURGERY ......................................................................................... 5 Endocrine Surgery ...................................................................................................... 5 Neck Dissection .......................................................................................................... 5 Salivary Gland Procedures ......................................................................................... 5 Oral Cavity/Oropharynx .............................................................................................. 5 Laryngectomy ............................................................................................................. 6 Anterior Craniofacial Resection ................................................................................... 6 Maxillectomy ............................................................................................................... 6 Excision of Cutaneous Facial Lesion .......................................................................... 6 Head and Neck Ablative Procedures .......................................................................... 6 FACIAL PLASCTIC AND RECONSTRUCTIVE SURGERY ............................................ 7 Free/Pedicled Flaps .................................................................................................... 7 Plastics/Trauma Procedures ....................................................................................... 7 Microtia Repair ............................................................................................................ 8 OTOLOGY/NEUROTOLOGY ......................................................................................... 9 Otology ....................................................................................................................... 9 Ablative Otologic Procedures ...................................................................................... 9 Reconstructive Otologic Procedures ........................................................................... 9 Appendix: Key Indicator Categories ............................................................................. 10 laceration repair: *Asterisk by key indicator cases <1.0 cm: 13150 Rules for unbundling noted in blue 1.1-2.5 cm: 13151 2.6-7.5 cm: 13152 Role Definitions: Each additional 5cm Resident surgeon: performs ≥ 50% of the operation (code separate): 13153 with the attending physician or resident supervisor, Open repair frontal sinus fracture: including the key portions of the procedure Depressed: 21343 Resident assistant: performs < 50% of the operation, Complicated: 21344 or ≥ 50% of the operation but not the key portions of Oral vestibule laceration repair: the procedure. ≤2.5cm: 40830 Resident supervisor: instructs/assists a more junior >2.5cm: 40831 resident during a procedure in which the junior FOM/Oral tongue laceration repair: resident performs ≥ 50% of the operation, including the ≤2.5cm: 41250 key portions of the procedure; the attending physician >2.5cm 41252 acts as an assistant or observer.

  • Comparison of the Effects of Dexmedetomidine Versus Fentanyl

    Comparison of the Effects of Dexmedetomidine Versus Fentanyl

    Current Therapeutic Research Volume 70, Number 3, June 2009 Comparison of the Effects of Dexmedetomidine Versus Fentanyl on Airway Reflexes and Hemodynamic Responses to Tracheal Extubation During Rhinoplasty: A Double-Blind, Randomized, Controlled Study Recep Aksu, MD; Aynur Akın, MD; Cihangir Biçer, MD; Aliye Esmaoglu,˘ MD; Zeynep Tosun, MD; and Adem Boyacı, MD Department of Anesthesiology, Erciyes University School of Medicine, Kayseri, Turkey ABSTRACT Background: Stimulation of various sites, from the nasal mucosa to the dia- phragm, can evoke laryngospasm. To reduce airway reflexes, tracheal extubation should be performed while the patient is deeply anesthetized or with drugs that do not depress ventilation. However, tracheal extubation during rhinoplasty may be dif- ficult because of the aspiration of blood and the possibility of laryngospasm. Dexmede- tomidine and fentanyl both have sedative and analgesic effects, but dexmedetomidine has been reported to induce sedation without affecting respiratory status. Objective: The aim of this study was to compare the effects of dexmedetomi- dine and fentanyl on airway reflexes and hemodynamic responses to tracheal extuba- tion in patients undergoing rhinoplasty. Methods: This double-blind, randomized, controlled study was conducted at the Erciyes University Medical Center, Kayseri, Turkey. Patients classified as Ameri- can Society of Anesthesiologists physical status I or II who were undergoing elective rhinoplasty between January 2007 and June 2007 with general anesthesia were eli- gible for study entry. Using a sealed-envelope method, the patients were randomly divided into 2 groups (20 patients per group). Five minutes before extubation, pa- tients received either dexmedetomidine 0.5 μg/kg in 100 mL of isotonic saline or fentanyl 1 μg/kg in 100 mL of isotonic saline intravenously.

    Surgical Management of Nasal Airway Obstruction John F. Teichgraeber, MDa, Ronald P. Gruber, MDb, Neil Tanna, MD, MBAc,* KEYWORDS Nasal obstruction Nasal breathing Septal deviation Nasal valve narrowing Turbinate hypertrophy KEY POINTS The management and diagnosis of nasal airway obstruction requires an understanding of the form and function of the nose. Nasal airway obstruction can be structural, physiologic, or a combination of both. Anatomic causes of airway obstruction include septal deviation, internal nasal valve narrowing, external nasal valve collapse, and inferior turbinate hypertrophy. Thus, the management of nasal air obstruction must be selective and carefully considered. The goal of surgery is to address the deformity and not just enlarge the nasal cavity.

  • Diagnostic Direct Laryngoscopy, Bronchoscopy & Esophagoscopy

    Diagnostic Direct Laryngoscopy, Bronchoscopy & Esophagoscopy

    Post-Operative Instruction Sheet Diagnostic Direct Laryngoscopy, Bronchoscopy & Esophagoscopy Direct Laryngoscopy: Examination of the voice box or larynx (pronounced “lair-inks”) under general anesthesia. An instrument called a laryngoscope is carefully placed into the mouth and used to visualize the larynx and surrounding structures. Bronchoscopy: Examination of the windpipe below the voice box in the neck and chest under general anesthesia. A long narrow telescope is passed through the larynx and used to carefully inspect the structures of the trachea and bronchi. Esophagoscopy: Examination of the swallowing pipe in the neck and chest under general anesthesia. An instrument called an esophagoscope is passed into the esophagus (just behind the larynx and trachea) and used to visualize the mucus membranes and surrounding structures of the esophagus. Frequently a small biopsy is taken to evaluate for signs of esophageal inflammation (esophagitis). What to Expect: Diagnostic airway endoscopy procedures generally take about 45 minutes to complete. Usually the procedure is well-tolerated and the child is back-to-normal the next day. Mild throat or tongue discomfort may persist for a few days after the procedure and is usually well-controlled with over-the-counter acetaminophen (Tylenol) or ibuprofen (Motrin). Warning Signs: Contact the office immediately at (603) 650-4399 if any of the following develop: • Worsening harsh, high-pitched noisy-breathing (stridor) • Labored breathing with chest retractions or flaring of the nostrils • Bluish discoloration of the lips or fingernails (cyanosis) • Persistent fever above 102°F that does not respond to Tylenol or Motrin • Excessive coughing or respiratory distress during feeding • Coughing or throwing up bright red blood • Excessive drowsiness or unresponsiveness Diet: Resume baseline diet (no special postoperative diet restrictions).
