Which statement is true regarding mechanical ventilation? There are only two mechanical ventilator pcs codes: greater than 96 hours and less than 96 hours. Occasionally, the condition of a patient who has been on ventilation earlier in the hospital stay deteriorates and a subsequent period of mechanical ventilation may be required. In such cases, two codes should be assigned to represent each episode of continuous mechanical ventilation. Mechanical ventilation and endotracheal intubation are always coded together. You can always assign mechanical ventilator following a major surgery.
