Additional Info

  • Note that this code covers not just overt respiratory failure, but all levels of respiratory insufficiency.
  • This may be coded as a Primary Admit Diagnosis if it is the main reason for admission.
  • This code is not allowed to be used along with Chronic dependence on mechanical ventilator. A person on chronic vent can have an acute respiratory diagnosis (e.g. pneumonia) but in such a case do not use the current code.
