What anesthesia code would you recommend for rewarming by cardiopulomary bypass for a patient with accidental hypothermia
Patient was found outside during the -40 windchill with an internal temp of 78 degrees. After they were unable to warm the patient with warming blankets they performed the cardiopulmonary bypass procedure and I am struggling to assign an anesthesia code. The procedure code assigned is an unlisted code.
Thank you in advance for your time and consideration.
