Anesthesia for Decortication of the Lung

Missouri rates for HCPCS 00542

Anesthesia care for an operation that peels away a thick, stiff rind of scar tissue trapping a lung so that the lung can expand again. The anesthesia team keeps the patient asleep, manages breathing while the chest is open, and replaces blood lost from the raw lung surface. The surgeon's work is charged separately.
