This procedure is a part of CCI Collection. This is one of the CCI component 2 codes - what was done.

Additional Info

• This identifies efforts to control bleeding, not remove or evacuate blood or a hematoma or clot.
  • It includes doing so by ANY/ALL methods -- e.g. surgically, embolization, banding (e.g. of varices), etc.
  • So for example, create a code to indicate generic procedure to control bleeding of esophageal varices from components by using this PLUS the "body part" code (T) Esophagus
• But this way of coding generic procedures to control bleeding does NOT indicate the method used to do so -- but it is often possible to create another CCI code (and combine it with the "Control of Bleeding" CCI code) to indicate the method also
  • For example you can combine the CCI component for Therapeutic intervention on the blood vessel of interest with the "what was done" CCI component code of Occlusion to indicate banding, or embolization, or surgical ligation, etc.
    • But to do this you have to use the Therpeutic body part component code for the correct vasculature -- e.g. for esophageal bleeding you need to code the veins draining the esophagus, which for the upper esophagus would be (T) Other Vessels of Head, Neck, Spine, NOS and for the lower esophagus would be (T) Thoracic Vessels, NOS

Collecting "CCI collect each" items

• "CCI collect each" items are entered each time they happen
• Px Date
  • if an Acquired Procedure, enter the Px Date for each day that they happen
  • if an Admit Procedure leave the date blank
• Px Count
  • if they happen more than once on a day, enter the number of times for that day, otherwise enter a Px Count of 1

Px Date for patients who move
