What is cpt code 77003?
CPT code 77003- Fluoroscopic guidance and localization of needle or catheter tip for spine or paraspinous diagnostic or therapeutic injection procedures (epidural or subarachnoid).
WHAT CPT CODE FOR STERNOCLAVICULAR JOINT INJECTION?
The CPT code for a sternoclavicular joint injection is typically 20610, which is used for the injection into a major joint or bursa, including the sternoclavicular joint. If imaging guidance is used during the procedure, you would also include an additional code, such as 77002 for fluoroscopic guidance. Always confirm with the latest coding guidelines and payer requirements, as codes may vary based on specific circumstances.
What is dilated under fluoroscopic control to a 42 French?
A ureteral stent is typically dilated under fluoroscopic control to a 42 French diameter. This process opens up the ureter to ensure proper drainage of urine from the kidney to the bladder, helping to alleviate any blockages or obstructions in the urinary system.
What procedure that is performed under ultrasound guidance to assess the status of the fetus is called?

How can a cardiac catheterization allow a cardiologist to monitor bodily functions?
Through the use of fluoroscopic (x ray) guidance, a catheter, which may resemble a balloon-tipped tube, is strung through the veins or arteries into the heart, so the cardiologist can monitor a body's various functions at each moment.
What is the procedure that is used to decompress the renal system with inserting a catheter into the kidneys?
The procedure is called percutaneous nephrostomy. A catheter is inserted through the skin into the kidney to drain urine and relieve pressure on the renal system. This procedure is done under local anesthesia and guidance from imaging techniques such as ultrasound or CT scan.
What precaution is taken in electrophysiology study of the heart in pediatric patients?
prevention of complications in children may be increased by using ultrasound guidance for access to the internal jugular vein for coronary sinus cannulation (insertion of a tube for the transport of fluid) during EPS

Talking from personal experience, I've had tubes in my ears and I vomited (sorry to be gross) right after waking up. However, if you are vomiting after a few days or a week of having your tubes in, then I suggest going to your physician. Also perhaps due to the imbalances created from the insertion of the tubes.
Can intercoms interfere with pacemakers?
Intercom systems typically operate at low power and use frequencies that are unlikely to interfere with pacemakers. However, strong electromagnetic fields from certain devices, including some intercoms, could potentially affect pacemaker function in rare cases. It's advisable for individuals with pacemakers to maintain a safe distance from any electronic devices and consult their healthcare provider for specific guidance regarding their pacemaker. Overall, the risk of interference is minimal, but caution is always recommended.
If you are not sure of a laboratory procedure what should you do?
