**AG REPLY TO TINA: Let's make this a soft crosscheck where the popup message is: "Acute respiratory diagnoses (e.g. pneumonia) in a person on chronic mechanical ventilation is possible of course. Are you certain both of these codes are appropriate here. Note that we do NOT allow [[Respiratory failure (insufficiency) NOS, acute]] with chronic vent dependence. In this case, consider the pneumonia (or other specific acute respiratory diagnosis) as the primary." | **AG REPLY TO TINA: Let's make this a soft crosscheck where the popup message is: "Acute respiratory diagnoses (e.g. pneumonia) in a person on chronic mechanical ventilation is possible of course.

*** That says to make it a soft check, yet it also says that acute failure should not be allowed for chronic vents. Need to discuss further which of the two it should be. | *** That says to make it a soft check, yet it also says that acute failure should not be allowed for chronic vents.
