ICD-10-PCS Code	Description
2Y01X5Z	Change Nasal Packing Material

Typical Clinical Scenarios

An adult patient is admitted after severe epistaxis refractory to bedside measures who previously had anterior nasal packing placed in the emergency department; inpatient otolaryngology removes the existing packing, evaluates ongoing bleeding, and replaces the nasal packing material to control hemorrhage without incising mucosa. Typical codes: 2Y01X5Z
A postoperative rhinoplasty patient on the surgical ward requires routine removal and replacement of intranasal packing during the first 24 hours after surgery to maintain hemostasis and nasal contour while avoiding disruption of surgical sites; the team takes out the existing packing and inserts similar packing material without cutting or puncturing the mucosa. Typical codes: 2Y01X5Z
A hospitalized patient with nasal trauma and expanding septal hematoma undergoes bedside management in which initial packing is removed to inspect the nasal cavity, and new like packing is placed to tamponade bleeding and prevent reaccumulation, performed without additional incision. Typical codes: 2Y01X5Z
