Definition:
Type of anesthesia administered on the patient during the stay. If during the stay, anesthesia is administered more than once, report the level of anesthesia in the following hierarchical order: General, Regional, Other, and Local.
The information submitted to SPARCS should be derived from the anesthesia record regardless the type of health care provider that provided the service.
Codes and Values:
| 1. | 00 | = | No Anesthesia |
|
| 10 | = | Local Anesthesia |
||
| Administered by the infiltration of a local anesthetic agent at the body site
where pain might originate during the procedure. Local anesthesia is typically
administered by the surgeon or other health care provider performing the procedure.
Anesthesia care providers sometimes monitor the patient during the administration
of local anesthesia by the surgeon or other provider, in which case the anesthetic
procedure is sometimes referred to as "local/MAC". In this term, MAC stands for
"Monitored Anesthesia Care". |
||||
| 20 | = | General Anesthesia |
||
| Administered by the intravenous injection of anesthetic agents, the inhalation of
anesthetic agents, or (more often) a combination of the two. Anesthetic agents are
sometimes (but infrequently) administered by other routes, such as via the nasal
or rectal mucosa. General anesthesia involves loss of consciousness and loss of
protective reflexes. |
||||
| 30 | = | Regional Anesthesia |
||
| Administered by injecting a local anesthetic agent to interrupt nerve impulses on
large nerves or nerve roots serving relatively large segments of the body. Included
under the term regional anesthesia are the following: spinal anesthesia, epidural
anesthesia, caudal anesthesia, brachial plexus anesthesia (including axillary block,
interscalene block, and supraclavicular block), sacral nerve block, femoral nerve block,
and ankle block. (This list is not exhaustive.) |
||||
| 40 | = | Other |
||
| Any anesthetic that does not fit one of the above categories should be classified "other". Analgesia or sedation that is administered to make a patient more comfortable during a procedure but does not involve loss of consciousness or loss of protective reflexes would come under this category. | ||||
