Wiki tourniquet removal

[ggparker14]

5 mo old baby presents to ED with hair tourniquet around finger. Would this procedure be included in E/M?

Procedure: hair tourniquet cut off left fourth distal phalanx using curved scissors with total removal of multiple strands of hair.

Thanks for any help.
