intervention. Retained secretions which required nasal or oral suctioning but are really not contributing to significant respiratory distress in a patient, this should not be coded as a significant problem. TOstryzniuk 15:11, 14 June 2011 (CDT)
**For collapse of one or both ENTIRE lungs, instead use '''[[Lung collapse (whole lung)]]'''
*incl subsegmenal, segmental, lobar, {sc:whole lung collapse}
*If the cause of this collapse is mucus plug /secretion, then also code '''[[Respiratory secretions, abnormal]]'''
*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]]
