A 64-year-old patient came to the emergency department complaining of chest pressure. The provider evaluated the patient. Appropriate initial management was continued by the ED provider who contacted the cardiologist on call in the hospital. Admission to the cardiac unit was ordered. No beds were available in the cardiac unit and the patient was held in the ED. The cardiologist left the ED after completing the evaluation of the patient and had interpreted the findings of an EKG that indicated signs of acute cardiac damage. Several hours passed and the patient was still in the ED. During an 80-minute period, the patient experienced acute breathing difficulty, increased chest pain, arrhythmias, and cardiac arrest. The patient was managed by the ED provider during this 80-minute period. Included in the ED provider management were endotracheal intubation and CPR to restore the patient’s breathing and circulation for 20 minutes. CPR was unsuccessful, the patient was pronounced dead after a total of 44 minutes critical care time, exclusive of other separately billable services. What CPT® codes are reported by the ED provider?
