    Instructor's Guide AC210610: Basic CPT/HCPCS Exercises Page 1 of 101 Answer Key Chapter 1 Introduction to Clinical Coding 1.1: Self-Assessment Exercise 1. The patient is seen as an outpatient for a bilateral mammogram. CPT Code: 77055-50 Note that the description for code 77055 is for a unilateral (one side) mammogram. 77056 is the correct code for a bilateral mammogram. Use of modifier -50 for bilateral is not appropriate when CPT code descriptions differentiate between unilateral and bilateral. 2. Physician performs a closed manipulation of a medial malleolus fracture—left ankle. CPT Code: 27766-LT The code represents an open treatment of the fracture, but the physician performed a closed manipulation. Correct code: 27762-LT 3. Surgeon performs a cystourethroscopy with dilation of a urethral stricture. CPT Code: 52341 The documentation states that it was a urethral stricture, but the CPT code identifies treatment of ureteral stricture. Correct code: 52281 4. The operative report states that the physician performed Strabismus surgery, requiring resection of the medial rectus muscle. CPT Code: 67314 The CPT code selection is for resection of one vertical muscle, but the medial rectus muscle is horizontal. Correct code: 67311 5. The chiropractor documents that he performed osteopathic manipulation on the neck and back (lumbar/thoracic). CPT Code: 98925 Note in the paragraph before code 98925, the body regions are identified. The neck would be the cervical region; the thoracic and lumbar regions are identified separately. Therefore, three body regions are identified. Correct code: 98926 Instructor's Guide AC210610: Basic CPT/HCPCS Exercises Page 2 of 101 6.

  • Outcomes of Endoscopic Sinus Surgery in Adult Lung Transplant Patients with Cystic Fibrosis
    European Archives of Oto-Rhino-Laryngology (2019) 276:1341–1347 https://doi.org/10.1007/s00405-019-05308-9 RHINOLOGY Outcomes of endoscopic sinus surgery in adult lung transplant patients with cystic fibrosis Paolo Luparello1 · Maria S. Lazio1 · Luca Voltolini2 · Beatrice Borchi3 · Giovanni Taccetti4 · Giandomenico Maggiore1 Received: 2 January 2019 / Accepted: 18 January 2019 / Published online: 28 January 2019 © Springer-Verlag GmbH Germany, part of Springer Nature 2019 Abstract Purpose Cystic Fibrosis (CF) is the most common autosomal recessive disease in Caucasian population. Due to its patho- logical mechanism, chronic rhino sinusitis (CRS) associated or not with nasal polyposis usually occurs in adults and affects close to one-half of all CF patients. The goal of our work was to evaluate the impact of Endoscopic Sinus Surgery (ESS) in the quality of life (QoL) of the CF patients and demonstrate an improvement of the functional outcomes in the patients underwent the surgical procedure rather than in the not treated ones, particulary in lung transplant patients. Methods We studied 54 adult patients affected by CF. Lund–Kennedy, Lund–Mackay scores, and SNOT-22 were analysed. 14 had lung transplant and 9 had both lung tranplant and ESS procedures. Results 22 (40.7%) out of 54 CF patients underwent ESS. This group presented more likely complaints consistent with CRS. Lund–Kennedy and Lund–Mackay scores appeared higher in the ESS group: 10 (range of 6–12) and 15 (range of 12–20), respectively. SNOT-22 showed median values for non-ESS and ESS group of 20 (range of 3–68) and 40 (range of 10–73), respectively.

    Sugammadex Reversal of Rocuronium-Induced Neuromuscular Blockade: A Comparison with Neostigmine–Glycopyrrolate and Edrophonium–Atropine Ozlem Sacan, MD BACKGROUND: Sugammadex is a modified ␥ cyclodextrin compound, which encap- sulates rocuronium to provide for a rapid reversal of residual neuromuscular Paul F. White, MD, PhD blockade. We tested the hypothesis that sugammadex would provide for a more rapid reversal of a moderately profound residual rocuronium-induced blockade Burcu Tufanogullari, MD than the commonly used cholinesterase inhibitors, edrophonium and neostigmine. METHODS: Sixty patients undergoing elective surgery procedures with a standard- ized desflurane–remifentanil–rocuronium anesthetic technique received either Kevin Klein, MD sugammadex, 4 mg/kg IV (n ϭ 20), edrophonium, 1 mg/kg IV and atropine, 10 ␮g/kg IV (n ϭ 20), or neostigmine, 70 ␮g/kg IV and glycopyrrolate, 14 ␮g/kg IV (n ϭ 20) for reversal of neuromuscular blockade at 15 min or longer after the last dose of rocuronium using acceleromyography to record the train-of-four (TOF) responses. Mean arterial blood pressure and heart rate values were recorded immediately before and for 30 min after reversal drug administration. Side effects were noted at discharge from the postanesthesia care unit. RESULTS: The three groups were similar with respect to their demographic character- istics and total dosages of rocuronium prior to administering the study medication. Although the initial twitch heights (T1) at the time of reversal were similar in all three groups, the time to achieve TOF ratios of 0.7 and 0.9 were significantly shorter with sugammadex (71 Ϯ 25 and 107 Ϯ 61 s) than edrophonium (202 Ϯ 171 and 331 Ϯ 27 s) or neostigmine (625 Ϯ 341 and 1044 Ϯ 590 s).

Clin Toxicol 2016; online early: doi: 10.1080/15563650.2016.1175620: Context We hypothesized that in chronic digoxin toxicity, anti-digoxin antibodies (Fab) would be efficacious in binding digoxin, but this may not translate into improved clinical outcomes. Objective This study aims to investigate changes in free digoxin concentrations and clinical effects on heart rate and potassium concentrations in chronic digoxin poisoning when anti-digoxin Fab are given. Materials and methods This is a prospective observational study. Patients were recruited if they have been treated with anti-digoxin Fab for chronic digoxin poisoning. Data was entered into a standardised prospective form, supplemented with medical records. Their serum or plasma was collected, analysed for free and bound digoxin and free anti-digoxin Fab concentrations. Results From September 2013 to February 2015, 36 patients (median age, 78 years; 22 females) Current Awareness in Clinical Toxicology is produced monthly for the American Academy of Clinical Toxicology by the Birmingham Unit of the UK National Poisons Information Service, with contributions from the Cardiff, Edinburgh, and Newcastle Units. The NPIS is commissioned by Public Health England 2 were recruited from 18 hospitals.
