Status Asthmaticus - This code is used for an acute asthma attack as reason for admission to the hospital.

When a patient has chronic asthma and comes in with an exacerbation of this (not status asthmaticus) you can use COPD Acute Exacerbation because chronic asthma is considered one of the Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Diseases. This is according to ICD 9, see quote in COPD Acute Exacerbation.

For comorbid coding go to Asthma.
