Single 5-gram injectable dose of aminocaproic acid, an antifibrinolytic medication to control bleeding

This code represents the administration of 5 grams of aminocaproic acid via injection. Aminocaproic acid is an antifibrinolytic agent used to prevent or treat excessive bleeding by inhibiting the breakdown of blood clots. It is typically used in situations where fibrinolysis is contributing to hemorrhage.

This code is used when aminocaproic acid is administered parenterally, often in surgical settings (e.g., cardiac surgery, orthopedic surgery) to reduce blood loss, or in patients with conditions causing hyperfibrinolysis. Documentation should clearly state the drug administered, the dosage (5 grams), and the route of administration (injection).

• Ensure the dosage administered is precisely 5 grams; if a different dose is given, a different code or multiple units may be required.
