I have not seen this before can anyone tell me what CPT CODE I SHOULD USE?
PREOPERATIVE DIAGNOSIS: Malfunctioning with a tear of Tri-Funnel GJ tube noted
after malfunctioning and clogging of the tube, for which this consultation was
requested.
DESCRIPTION OF PROCEDURE: The old feeding tube was pulled out. The balloon had
been deflated due to a break in the inflation channel. The clip was seen at
the end of the tube which apparently dislodged.
Foley catheter size 18-French was used, to be used as a feeding tube.
Lubrication was applied after attaching the old, round disk. The tube was
placed into the gastric lumen. The balloon was inflated with 10 mL normal
saline. The tube then was pulled back and was secured against gastric wall.
The cross disk was then pushed down toward the skin and a sterile dressing was
applied.
THANK YOU
