Question 1

what are the tests for macrosomia?

Accepted Answer

Ultrasound: A prenatal can help determine the size of the fetus.

Question 2

what are the symptoms of macrosomia?

Accepted Answer

Macrosomia: As the term implies, macro, "big", soma, (carisoprodol) "body", the first thing you can see is a very large baby, usually larger than 8 pounds 8 ounces.
The first symptoms we observe in a macrocosmic baby is jitteriness, this is almost always due to low blood glucose levels, next we may observe clonus, which is due to a low ionized calcium level, and third we may observe jaundice, due elevated bilirubin levels.

Question 3

why ama fighting icd-10?

Accepted Answer

Their argument...: Is that switching to the icd-10 would is overly burdensome, expensive, and has not been proven to improve patient care or safety at all. Do we really need a code for “walked into lamppost, initial encounter" (w22.02xa), or “burn due to water-skis on fire” (v91.07xa)? Both real icd-10 codes.

Question 4

difference between pacemaker and icd?

Accepted Answer

See Below: A pacemaker triggers your heart beat when it gets too slow..Paces. An icd also has a back up pacemaker but can deliver a shock to the heart when it is an irregular rhythm.

Question 5

can you compare icd 10 with dsm iv tr?

Accepted Answer

Yes, BUT: There are a number of diagnoses that don't have exact matches.

Question 6

how long does labor associated with macrosomia last?

Accepted Answer

Depends on situation: For those hardy enough to try to tough it out it can last for days. For those who realize their pelvis is to small to pass a big baby, it ends when the cut it out.

Question 7

but does the pregnancy state incidental icd v22.2 mean u pregnant?

Accepted Answer

Probably: Yes V22.2 is the ICD 9 code for pregnant state. But I would not rely on a code to confirm a pregnancy because sometimes we doctors may use a wrong code. If you are wondering if you are pregnant, I suggest you take a pregnancy test or see your OBGYN for confirmation

Question 8

can you tell if somebody has an icd implanted by feeling of their chest?

Accepted Answer

Usually: ICDs are small devices, about the size of a pager, that are usually placed just below the left collarbone, but sometimes on the right.  Newer defibrillator types may be implanted slightly leftward &amp; bellow the left nipple.  Older defibrillators may be in the abdomen.  Breast tissue, fat, or rarely muscle can hide the device.   Make sure wounds are well healed and kept clean to prevent infection.

Question 9

what is a cups code for surgery? i know of icd codes, but cups is that international or what is it exactly?

Accepted Answer

: You probably are referring to a CPT code. ICD codes describe diagnoses. CPT codes describe provider interactions with patients - office visits, consultations, treatments, etc.

Question 10

my relative just got an icd and they keep telling him to stop eating any salt, is not eating salt permanent?

Accepted Answer

Maybe: It is generally recommended for heart failure patients to consume less than 2000 mg of sodium (salt) per day.  This helps prevent fluid accumulation in the lungs, legs and abdomen which can lead to hospitalizations for congestive heart failure.  The icd was probably implanted for severe heart failure in your relative.
