Thus, if 25 patients were ventilated during the month and, for purposes of example, each was on mechanical ventilation for 3 days, the number of ventilator days would be 25 x 3 = 75 ventilator days for February. The Ventilator-Associated Pneumonia Rate per 1,000 Ventilator Days then would be 12/75 x 1,000 = 160.

According to clinical protocol at our facility, a patient is not "officially" weaned until he has been totally off of the ventilator for 72 hours. Until the patient successfully completes the weaning trial period, he is continually evaluated.
Coders should always refer to the respiratory flow sheet before coding any services related to ventilator support. This flow sheet includes the intubation time, periodic dating and timing of ventilator management services, and the extubation time. Coders shouldn't rely entirely on physician orders of intubation and extubation times. Coders need to go by the actual documentation. They need to have solid documentation of the times.
After the mechanical ventilator is turned off, it is inappropriate to continue to count ventilation hours, even though the patient is continually being evaluated.
RACs can easily data-mine for noncompliance related to coding for ventilator support, says Glenn Krauss, BBA, RHIA, CCS, CCS-P, CPUR, C-CDI, CCDS,independent revenue cycle consultant in Madison, WI. For example, patients whose length of stay is fewer than two days can’t possibly be on a ventilator for 96 hours. "Simple math tells you this can't be correct," Krauss says. "Technically speaking, they almost don't even need to look at the record; they can tell by an automated review."
Coders shouldn't rely entirely on physician orders of intubation and extubation times, agrees Alice Zentner, RHIA, director of auditing and education at TrustHCS in Springfield, MO. "Coders need to go by the actual documentation. They need to have solid documentation of the times," she says.
