Why the move from ICD-9 codes to ICD-10 codes? The transition for medical providers and all insurance plan payers is a significant one since the 18,000 ICD-9 codes are to be replaced by 140,000 ICD-10 codes. ICD-10 replaces ICD-9 and reflects advances in medicine and medical technology over the past 30 years.
ICD-9 uses mostly numeric codes with only occasional E and V alphanumeric codes. Plus, only three-, four- and five-digit codes are valid. ICD-10 uses entirely alphanumeric codes and has valid codes of up to seven digits.
ICD-9 follows an outdated 1970's medical coding system which fails to capture detailed health care data and is inconsistent with current medical practice. By transitioning to ICD-10, providers will have: Improved operational processes by classifying detail within codes to accurately process payments and reimbursements.

A tracheotomy or a tracheostomy is an opening surgically created through the neck into the trachea (windpipe) to allow direct access to the breathing tube and is commonly done in an operating room under general anesthesia.
Place your finger in the hole and sweep 360o to check for adhesions; be careful if there are any broken ribs, they are sharp and can cut you! Clamp the other end of the chest tube with the Kelly clamp and use this to guide the tube into the pleural cavity along your finger which should still be in the hole you made.
If it is not draining, it should be removed entirely and a new chest tube should be inserted using sterile techniques. Obstruction. A tube can be occluded by blood clots or particularly thick, viscous fluid. You can assess for an obstruction by looking at the water-seal in the pleuro-vac when it is set to gravity.
Clamp 1 end of the chest tube. Make an incision along the superior border of the 5th rib that is large enough for your finger and the tube. Use a Kelly clamp to dissect the soft tissue, opening it periodically as you go to make sure the space in the soft tissue is large enough for the procedure.
An air leak can occur due to bronchopulmoary injury or fistula, entry of air from the insertion site, or having some of the holes at the end of the chest tube outside of the body. To identify an air leak, check the water-seal for constant bubbling.
You should not strip or “milk” the chest tube, as there is no evidence demonstrating that this will resolve an obstruction and can cause harm by creating increases in negative pressure within the thoracic cavity. If the obstruction is not resolving spontaneously, you may need to replace the chest tube. Air leak.
You can’t pull back and readjust the chest tube, as it is no longer sterile. If the chest tube is still draining something, then it is reasonable to discuss with the admitting team whether the tube should be replaced entirely or if it should be left in place for the time-being.
Air leak. An air leak can be normal when you first insert the chest tube or while attempting to resolve a pneumothorax. A new or persistent air leak is concerning and suggests there may be a problem with the circuit preventing the chest tube from functioning correctly.
