Additional Info
- The "NOS" here refers to the fact that it's not clear if the pneumothorax is tension or non-tension
- Does NOT include traumatic pneumothorax causes
- But does include iatrogenic pneumothorax, when combined with Iatrogenic, puncture or laceration, related to a procedure or surgery NOS
- This code includes a nontraumatic bronchopleural fistula where it's not clear if the pneumothorax is with or without tension. When these fistulas are spontaneous (rather than caused iatrogenically or by trauma), it is due to lung infection or abscess, then that code should also be combined with the appropriate one of these. And in this case also code Empyema (pyothorax) if present, combining it with the others.
Guideline for Iatrogenic Pneumothorax
According to our general rule of not coding iatrogenic events as traumas, code an iatrogenic pneumothorax as
- Iatrogenic, puncture or laceration, related to a procedure or surgery NOS
- Plus the most appropriate of the following;
Alternate ICD10s to consider coding instead or in addition
| Pneumothorax codes: |
| Pleural abnormalities codes: |
Candidate Combined ICD10 codes
- Code cause if known.
