If a MD says he did CPS (cardioplumonary support system in place) during an intervention procedure and also notes "cardiopulmonary fem-fem bypass" is this coded with 33960?

"acute cardiogenin shock with hypotension requiring CPS and cardioplumonary support with fem-fem bypass"

pt crashed after angioplasty and also required CPR and Intubation and was rushed off for bypass surgery.

Thanks....anyone?

To me it seems like he did ECMO. I've used 33960 before and that is used primarily for Monitoring of CPS. To me if it was documented that he placed cannulas in arteries/veins for CPS I would use 36822 (Placement of ECMO). Then I would used 33690 for the 1st day of monitoring and then 33961 for each subsequent day. Hope This Helps
