What is this code?

LOINC codes identify tests, measurements, observations, survey items, and clinical questions in a standardized way. It is associated with the component Nerve conduction study panel. It is commonly used with the system or sample type Nerve.

When is it used?

  • Used in lab systems, EHRs, and clinical data exchange.
  • May identify a test, observation, survey item, or clinical document request rather than a diagnosis.
  • Status: ACTIVE
  • Order vs observation: Order
  • Panel type: Panel

What it does not mean

  • The code identifies the observation or test, not the actual result.

Key facts

Nerve conduction study panel Nerve
Nerve conduction study panel
This panel contains individual panels that hold the collections of terms used to report the discrete results for various parts of a nerve conduction study (NCS), including sensory, motor, F-wave, repetitive motor stimulation, and needle electromyography (EMG) studies. Specific panels are included for the sensory and motor parts of the NCS for commonly studied nerves, and results for any additional nerves studied as well as F-wave, repetitive motor stimulation, and EMG should be reported using the terms contained in the generic panels ([LOINC98696-8] for sensory nerve conduction; [LOINC: 98703-2] for motor nerve conduction; [LOINC: 98704-0] for F-wave; [LOINC: 98706-5] for repetitive motor stimulation; and [LOINC: 98716-4] for EMG).
