Repositioning A Life-Support Cannula

North Dakota rates for HCPCS 33957

Adjusts the position of a large tube that carries blood out to and back from a machine taking over the work of the heart and lungs, so that flow between patient and machine is correct again. A tube that has shifted can restrict flow or draw poorly, and moving it restores effective support. It is done while the patient remains on that support.
