~~Como Admit Acquired Primary Limits 1/ Dx grouping - this is part of both of those discussion~~

* Should we be coding cardiac arrest as a comorb if they have a past history of cardiac arrest? Or is it considered resolved? Some of us are coding it as a comorb and some of us aren't. Thanks - Brynn

** TT note: See [[Controlling Dx Type for ICD10 codes]] - we can instruct not to code this specific code as a comorbid, but the problem is likely more widespread and should be addressed that way; Just leaving it here as an example.

Line 20:

**[[Pulseless Electrical Activity (PEA)]] -- also known as electromechanical dissociation

**Could also be a supraventricular arrythmia or high degree of heart block

* It was decided at TASK on May 22, 2024, that this diagnosis no longer has to be the [[Primary Admit Diagnosis]], it can be but may not always be the [[Primary Admit Diagnosis]]

*Also code [[Targeted Temperature Management (TTM)]] if applicable.

*Do NOT code this as a ~~comorbid condition.~~

*Do NOT code this as a [[Comorbid Diagnosis]]

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