Plethysmography, total body, is a diagnostic procedure that involves the measurement of changes in the volume of the body. This is achieved through the use of a specialized chamber designed to capture and analyze these volume changes. The primary application of this procedure is in the assessment of respiratory function, allowing healthcare providers to evaluate how well a patient is breathing and to identify any potential respiratory issues. Additionally, total body plethysmography can also be utilized to study the patient's blood pressure, providing valuable insights into cardiovascular health. The CPT® code 93722 specifically refers to the physician's interpretation of the results obtained from this procedure, along with the generation of a detailed report. This interpretation is crucial for understanding the implications of the plethysmography results and for guiding further clinical decision-making.
