Vermont rates for HCPCS 31605
An emergency opening is cut through the thin membrane at the front of the neck, just below the Adam's apple, and a tube is inserted so the patient can breathe. It is done when someone cannot breathe and a tube cannot be passed through the mouth or nose. It is a life-saving measure carried out in minutes and converted to a longer-term airway later if needed.
