Edit ICD10 dx: Respiratory failure (insufficiency), chronic

unstructured part of page:

{{ICD10 transition status | OldDxArticle = | CurrentStatus = reconciled | InitialEditorAssigned = Tina Tenbergen }} == Additional Info == *Note that this code covers not just overt respiratory failure, but all levels of respiratory insufficiency. **e.g. You can use it for a chronically hypercapnic COPD patient, or for a chronically hypoxemic pulmonary fibrosis patient, etc. *This code would likely be the main admit diagnosis to IICU for a large number of patients going to that unit **And furthermore, it's appropriate in the ICU record prior to IICU transfer to code it as an acquired diagnosis. *Also code the cause if known. *Also code '''[[Chronic dependence on mechanical ventilator]]''' if present. *Use this code for a patient who comes to the ward or ICU from home or a chronic care facility or IICU, where respiratory insufficiency or failure has been present -- in this situation use this code as a [[Comorbid Diagnosis]]. (ie. Home O2) *When a patient develops chronic respiratory insufficiency or failure after the start of their current database record, code it as an '''[[Acquired Diagnosis / Complication]]'''. And the decision that this occurred will be a clinical decision, made by the data collectors. *For a typical '''IICU''' patient, use the following codes if applicable: **[[Respiratory failure (insufficiency), chronic]] in admit codes. (If the patient came from another unit (ex.MICU) this code would be an acquired diagnosis in that profile). **Code the underlying cause for the respiratory failure (ex. GBS, C-spine injury, etc). **[[Muscle, wasting/atrophy NOS]] **[[Tracheostomy, has one]] == Alternate ICD10s to consider coding instead or in addition == *[[Respiratory failure (insufficiency) NOS, acute]] *[[Respiratory failure (insufficiency), chronic]] *[[Respiratory failure (insufficiency) NOS, not specified as acute or chronic]] *[[Chronic dependence on mechanical ventilator]] *[[Hypercapnia (hypercarbia)]] *[[Hypoxemia (hypoxia)]] *[[ARDS (noncardiogenic pulmonary edema)]] *[[Transfusion-related acute lung injury (TRALI, form of ARDS)]] *[[Respiratory arrest]] == Candidate [[Combined ICD10 codes]] == == Related CCI Codes == {{Data Integrity Check List}} == Related Articles == {{Related Articles}} {{ICD10 footer}} {{EndPlaceHolder}}
