Typical Clinical Scenarios

An elderly hospitalized patient with poor peripheral access for antibiotic administration and fragile veins requires a tunneled or semi-permanent central venous infusion route for prolonged IV therapy; the vascular surgery team places an infusion catheter into the right basilic vein via a percutaneous approach to ensure reliable long-term infusion. Typical codes: 05HB33Z, 05HB3DZ
A hemodynamically unstable trauma patient in the emergency department needs urgent central venous monitoring and rapid fluid resuscitation but upper central access is preferred over internal jugular or femoral sites; an intraluminal monitoring device or central line is inserted into the right basilic vein using an open approach in the operating room for immediate monitoring and resuscitation. Typical codes: 05HB0DZ, 05HB03Z
A patient with a previously placed right basilic vein catheter develops catheter malfunction and recurrent occlusion; during an inpatient admission for catheter revision, the team removes the nonfunctional device and inserts a new percutaneous endoscopic infusion device to restore patency for ongoing therapy. Typical codes: 05HB43Z, 05HB4DZ
