There are no significant risks to this test, other than those associated with any needle insertion
it depends on what the needle is being used for
into the diaphragm
electromyography done by electromyography technologist or neuro physician
CPT procedure code 95861 = Needle electromyography; 2 extremities with or without related paraspinal areas.
I think the needle will be inserted in lumbar 3 and 4 for epidural.
Complications of external sphincter electromyography are rare. Occasionally patients report blood in their urine after being tested with needle electrodes. Also, the urethra may become mildly irritated causing a change in the normal.
During an EMG test, a fine needle is inserted into the muscle to be tested
A needle is inserted into the tumor and a sample is withdrawn
the needle is not correctly inserted into the vial
95864 is a CPT Medicine/Neurology and Neuromuscular procedure code for a: Needle electromyography; 4 extremities with or without related paraspinal areas.
