The consent form was signed by the parents, and the patient was taken to the operating room. She was anesthetized, and the right frontotemporal region was prepped and draped. A burr hole, using a rounded tip, was made into the skull. Immediate evacuation and decompression resulted. The patient’s vitals were stable, and she was discharged to the neurosurgeon for evaluation of a craniotomy. need cpt code
