Can anyone help me with how to code this?
Thanks.
CT-GUIDED CELIAC BLOCK:
INDICATION: Advanced pancreatic cancer, intractable pain.
TECHNIQUE: After written informed consent was obtained under sterile
conditions with the patient placed in the right lateral decubitus
position via paraspinal posterolateral approach a 21-gauge spinal needle
was advanced to the left paraaortic space. Small amount of contrast was
injected. A test dose of 5 mL of 2% lidocaine was infused. Patient
reported some degree of mild pain relief with the injection. Next, a
total of 20 mL of absolute _______ was slowly infused for neurolysis of
the celiac plexus. Patient tolerated the procedure well. Post-procedure
scanning showed dispersion of the injected under the iodinated contrast
into a location at L1 at the expected location of the celiac plexus.
IMPRESSION:
Celiac plexus block and neurolysis as described.
Thanks.
