CPR

I directly supervised CPR which was continuously being performed per AHA guidelines in addition to other critical activities.

Provider: Self

Total CPR time: [See nursing notes]

The documentation for CPR is fairly simple and the provider supervising is able to bill even if they are not the one doing compressions.
The most important aspect of CPR documentation is the total CPR time. This is a total time of all episodes of cardiac arrest.
It is probably okay to say “see nursing documentation” but that makes it harder for the coders to find the information and if they can’t find it, they won’t bill for it.
CPR is treated like any other procedure so the time spent supervising CPR is excluded from critical care time. The time before arrest and/or after ROSC is obtained is included in critical care.
