post partum hemorrhage
Can someone help me w/the CPT coding, patient had delivered less than 24 hours prior to this procedure. Op note reads, postpartum hemorrhage(heavy vaginal bleeding) unresponsive to Methergine, Hemabate & Pitocin.
Exploratory lap revealed closed uterine incision , no bleeding noted, but very boggy uterus that would not firm up, because of the atony and the vaginal bleeding, bilateral uterine artery ligation was carried out and the bleeding stopped.
Thanks for your help
