Additional Info
- Here are the rules for when you can this code:
- If patient comes into hospital, from home or a chronic care facility where he/she is on the ventilator, then use this code as a Comorbid Diagnosis.
- So, it follows that if the patient comes to you on a ventilator from any acute care facility (including IICU) you do NOT use this code.
- If a patient who previously was not on chronic MV leaves the hospital to go to home or a chronic care facility on the ventilator, use this code as a Acquired Diagnosis / Complication.
- So, it follows that if the patient leaves on a ventilator to go to another acute care facility (including IICU) you do NOT use this code.
- If patient comes into hospital, from home or a chronic care facility where he/she is on the ventilator, then use this code as a Comorbid Diagnosis.
- Also code cause if known
- Do NOT use this code for "Failure to wean" -- that is not a valid ICD10 diagnosis. Code the type of respiratory failure present (acute, chronic, NOS).
Alternate ICD10s to consider coding instead or in addition
- Respiratory failure (insufficiency), chronic
- Respiratory failure (insufficiency) NOS, acute
- Respiratory failure (insufficiency) NOS, not specified as acute or chronic
- Respiratory disorder, postprocedure/postop NOS
Candidate Combined ICD10 codes
- Generally when you code this you should also combine it with Respiratory failure (insufficiency), chronic
