Question 1
This is a 78-year-old gentleman with renal failure and on chronic hemodialysis. He was taken to the operating room for insertion of a subclavian venous catheter. After prepping and draping, a percutaneous subclavian venous catheter was inserted without difficulty. The catheter was irrigated with heparin solution and appeared to be functioning well. The patient tolerated the procedure well.
Codes(s): __________
Question 2
The patient is a 59-year-old female with severe varicose veins. Since she stands most of the day while at work, she often experiences pain and needs to take frequent rest breaks. Because the pain is interfering with her work performance, she is requesting treatment for her varicose veins. Surgical and nonsurgical options were discussed with the patient. She chose the surgical option. She was admitted to the hospital and underwent long saphenous vein stripping from the saphenofemoral junction to below the knee of the left and right legs. She tolerated the procedure well and will be seen in the clinic in three days.
