Additional Info
Includes
- Torsades de Pointes
- R-on-T phenomenon
Repeated events
If this happens repeatedly during the same ward or unit stay, only code it the first time it happens, regardless of whether it is an Admit Diagnosis or Acquired Diagnosis, rather than each time it happens. See ICD10 codes only coded the first time for other diagnoses coded this way.
| Example: |
|
- This code is for V-tach --- and it includes Torsades de Pointes, which is a specific form of V-tach
- Code it only if there is ECG (or rhythm strip) evidence for it's presence.
- i.e. if suspected but was not caught and thus demonstrated on ECG, then instead code Cardiac arrhythmia, NOS
- It can be intermittent, or prolonged
- If it occurred during the admission, code it whether or not it is being treated.
