I'm fairly new to anesthesia, so if I'm incorrect, please let me know.

I had a case that was similar but it also involved wound dressing not just wound vac removal and reapplication. I went with 15852 which crosswalked to 00300. I think you are in the right code area as far as anesthesia, but I did not see where the 97605 was in the anesthesia crosswalk book to cross over.
 
twtcpc,

What is the location of the wound? As long as it was head, neck, or posterior trunk your coding is appropriate, however, if at a different location then it may be another ASA code (i.e. 00400/00920/00940).
