EVALUATE NDT PLACEMENT


Impression: Nasoduodenal tube remains coiled within the body of the
stomach.
 
I assume this is an interp from an x-ray confirming position of the NDT? If yes, I don't think V58.82 is the correct code, as that code definition states, "fitting and adjustment of non-vascular catheter NEC --
removal or replacement of catheter, toilet or cleansing."
