151 UNSTABLE ANGINA PAIN < 15 MIN. RELIEVED BY NITRO OR @ REST
- I think unstable angina and coronary insuffiency have incorrect descriptions in our code book. Unstable angina is angina that is "UNSTABLE" it occurs at rest often lasts more than 15 minutes and needs more aggressive interventions with nitro spray,oxygen,IV morphine. Coronary insufficiency lasts less than 15 minutes and is managed well with nitrospray and rest.The most comman thing we see with the charts is the term "ACS" which emcompasses unstable angina,NSTEMI and STEMI.I would like to know how other collectors are coding patients with cardiac chest pain?GHall 11:56, 2 March 2009 (CST)
