*{{Discussion}} The title here indicates the insertion of a Defibrillator, then the bracketed section has "transcutaneous, epicardial leads". This title is poorly written and the category is confusing. | |||
*The options are: | |||
*1. ICD (defibrillator implant); | |||
*2. Permanent Pacemaker ( done surgically); | |||
*3. Temporary pacemaker insertion ( done either with epicardial wires usually only seen in cardiac surgical patients OR transvenously for every other patient. | |||
*4. Transcutaneous pacing (which is done with external pads placed on the patient chest). | |||
*Please clarify how we are to code each of the above options. | |||
