I have a few coding question that I wanted to know the correct answers for the three questions. I am hoping that someone can help me? Thank you.
A 12year old male has received 64 percent total body surface area burns after being trapped in a burning car, The surgeon has already performed excision of the burns and application of skin grafting to the patient’s upper extremities two days prior. The patient is being returned to the OR today for excision of the full thickness burns of the posterior and anterior trunk with simultaneous application of integra (facellular dermal skin substitute replacement). After surgical preparation of the anterior and posterior trunk, a total of 480sq cm were excised with a Watson knife until viable tissue was encountered. Homeostasis was obtained with electrocautery with then with Epi soaked pads. The Integra sheets were gently scooped out of holding basin and placed on the excised wound bed, checked to ensure no air bubbles or wrinkles remained and excess material was trimmed. The seams were placed along Langer’s lines to reduce risk of contracture. A net dressing was applied and expanded over the graft site and secured with staples, The wound was covered with gauze dressing and secured with bolster to prevent mechanical shear.

A patient is referred to the hospital radiology clinic for numbness and tingling in the arms that the physician suspect is related to thoracic outlet syndrome. The radiologist performs a Doppler analog waveform analyze a photoplethysmography and a flow velocity signal of the arteries of both arms. A duplex scan of both arms is also performed.
