Anesthesia for Chest Surgery on the Lungs

Michigan rates for HCPCS 00546

Covers the anesthesia care given during an operation on the lungs or the lining around them, carried out through the chest wall. The anesthesia clinician manages the airway and ventilation — chest surgery often requires the breathing to be arranged so one lung can be kept still — and monitors heart rhythm, blood pressure and oxygen throughout before overseeing recovery and pain control. The surgeon's work in the chest is a separate service and is billed separately.
