Is there a code for Penrose drain?
Patient is 23 week old diagnosis with Pneumoperitoneum, likely SIP.
Procedure:
The right abdomen was prepped and draped in a sterile fashion. A small right lower quadrant incision was made. Upon entering the peritoneal cavity, air, fluid and meconium was evacuated. A 1/4-inch Penrose drain was cut to the appropriate size. One end was inserted into the abdominal cavity, directed across the abdomen. The drain was secured to the skin with 4-0 Prolene. A sterile dressing was applied.
