*Stridor is a high-pitched, wheezing sound caused by disrupted airflow. Stridor may also be called musical breathing or extrathoracic airway obstruction. Airflow is usually disrupted by a blockage in the larynx (voice box) or trachea (windpipe).

Stridor is a high-pitched, wheezing sound caused by disrupted airflow. Stridor may also be called musical breathing or extrathoracic airway obstruction / upper airway obstruction. Airflow is usually disrupted by a blockage in the larynx (voice box) or trachea (windpipe).

*{{Discussion}} This is the only code I could find for upper airway obstruction.

* I would say that linking Stridor with one of the following diagnosis would work:

*1. Primary Malignancy (solid tumor) NOS

*2. Iatrogenic, hemorrhage or hematoma, related to procedure or surgery NOS

*3. Laryngeal (larynx, vocal cord), edema

*Using the 2 codes together gives a clearer picture of the cause of this condition which is essentially upper airway obstruction. --[[User:LKolesar|LKolesar]] 11:26, 2018 September 14 (CDT)

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

* [[Iatrogenic, hemorrhage or hematoma, related to a procedure or surgery NOS]]

* [[Laryngeal (larynx, vocal cord), edema]]

*[[COPD, acute exacerbation]]

*[[Bronchitis, acute or chronic not specified, infectious or noninfectious]]
