Question-A patient with a third-degree burn of 54% of his body is being treated under anesthesia for excision, debridement, and extensive skin grafting. The patient’s condition is listed as severe, and he is not expected to survive without the operation. The operation is further complicated by the emergency condition of the patient, and delaying this procedure could lead to loss of body parts. How should the anesthesiologist report her services with this procedure???

Answer-

The total body surface area (TBSA) burned is 54%. The first code, 01952, includes 9% of the burn; the add- on code 01953 would be reported for each additional 9% (five units equal 45%plus the initial 9% reaches the total 54%
