Additional Info
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).
Template:ICD10 Guideline Symptoms not needed when cause known
- Template:Discussion I have patients that come in with upper airway obstructions related to foreign body or other causes. I cannot find a specific code for this and just putting "stridor" does not seem sufficient. Maybe I am missing it. Let me know.--LKolesar 11:22, 2018 December 11 (CST)
- Can buddy it with: Respiratory tract, foreign body in
- here is old code Upper Airway Obstruction which is mapped to NEW ICD code for various reasons that could cause airway obstruction.Trish Ostryzniuk 11:50, 2018 December 11 (CST)
