~~includes subsegmenal~~, segmental, lobar~~, mucous plug~~

*''Includes'': subsegmental, segmental, lobar collapse.

**For collapse of one or both ENTIRE lungs, instead use '''[[Lung collapse (whole lung)]]'''

*~~Use this code only if it shows up on a chest X-ray as a problem~~ or ~~is causing~~ '''~~significant respiratory distress~~''' ~~which~~ '''~~requires aggressive intervention~~'''.

*If the cause of this collapse is mucus plug /secretion, then also code '''[[Respiratory secretions, abnormal]]'''

**~~Retained secretions which required nasal or oral suctioning but are really not contributing~~ to ~~significant~~ respiratory ~~distress in a patient should not be coded~~

*If it the collapse/atelectasis is causing respiratory failure, then as usual, link those two codes together.

**Indeed, if mucus plugging is causing atelectasis and leading to respiratory failure, then link [[Atelectasis]] to [[Respiratory failure (insufficiency) NOS, acute]] and [[Respiratory secretions, abnormal]]

== Alternate ICD10s to consider coding instead or in addition ==

*[[Disorder of upper respiratory tract, infectious or noninfectious NOS]]

*[[Lung collapse (whole lung)]]

*[[Respiratory secretions, abnormal]]

*[[Observation for reason NOS]]
