ICD-10-PCS 093 Medical and Surgical: Ear, Nose, Sinus Control
The ICD-10-PCS root operation Control (code 093) refers to stopping or reducing bleeding from a body part. This operation is essential in managing hemorrhage to stabilize patients and prevent further blood loss.
Within the Medical and Surgical section, specifically involving the Ear, Nose, and Sinus body system, Control often targets bleeding in the nasal mucosa and soft tissue. For example, the code 093K7ZZ describes controlling bleeding via a natural or artificial opening, while 093K8ZZ specifies doing so through a more minimally invasive endoscopic approach. These distinctions allow precise coding to reflect the technique used to achieve hemostasis in the nasal passages. Accurate application of these ICD-10-PCS Control codes supports effective documentation of procedures aimed at hemorrhage control in the ear, nose, and sinus regions.
