I21.9TaskMyocardial infarction, acute (AMI), NOSICD 10 has this code for STEMI:

2024 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code I21.3

  • ST elevation (STEMI) myocardial infarction of unspecified site that includes transmural (Q wave) infarction

ICD 10 has this code for NSTEMI:

2024 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code I21.4

  • Non-ST elevation (NSTEMI) myocardial infarction that includes Nontransmural myocardial infarction NOS

Would it be less labor intensive for collectors to be able to use these codes instead of MI codes dependent upon development (or not) of Q waves as this is problematic to determine. Thank you, Pamela Piche 07:49, 2024 April 5 (CDT)

  • I have added this to TASK, in 2019 ICD 10 did not have STEMI/NSTEMI codes, now in the 2024 version they do, I agree with Pam can we switch to the new codes? Lisa Kaita 15:10, 2024 April 5 (CDT)

I64TaskStroke, NOSwe need clarification on when to use this code, eg. if there is a history where it says a history of stroke, or if on CT they comment remote lacunar infarcts? Lisa Kaita 12:01, 2024 April 17 (CDT)17 April 2024 17:01:53
J94.2TaskHemothorax or hemopneumothorax, nontraumaticJust wondering whether this code could be combined with iatrogenic causes similar to the guideline for:

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;

Pneumothorax, tension, nontraumatic

Pneumothorax, nontension, nontraumatic

Pneumothorax, nontraumatic, NOS

Thanks, Pamela Piche 08:55, 2024 March 19 (CDT)

  • Allan made the initial entry of not to use this as an iatrogenic or trauma code in 2017, so let's discuss this at TASK Lisa Kaita 15:03, 2024 April 5 (CDT)

R02TaskGangrene, NOScan we use this code for necrosis or necrotic wounds? Lisa Kaita 11:57, 2024 April 17 (CDT)17 April 2024 17:03:39
R57.2TaskShock, septicWhen the progression is very fast eg. admitted at 0100 with severe sepsis, lactate 1.7, then at 0220 lactate is now 2.7 do we use the admit severe sepsis and code the septic shock as acquired? Lisa Kaita 12:17, 2024 April 17 (CDT)
How hard of a rule is lactate >2? If they meet the criteria for septic shock with the exception of a high enough lactate, can we code septic shock Lisa Kaita 12:17, 2024 April 17 (CDT)

R65.0TaskSepsis (SIRS due to infection, without acute organ failure)When the progression is very fast eg. admitted at 0100 with severe sepsis, lactate 1.7, then at 0220 lactate is now 2.7 do we use the admit severe sepsis and code the septic shock as acquired? Lisa Kaita 12:17, 2024 April 17 (CDT)

R68.0TaskHypothermia, not due to low environmental temperature/exposurewhat do we consider to be hypothermic? Lisa Kaita 10:02, 2024 April 22 (CDT)22 April 2024 15:02:40
T85.6TaskIatrogenic, mechanical complication/dysfunction, internal prosthetic device or implant or graft NOSAt our last TASK meeting the decision was made to exclude spontaneous rupture of an ETT cuff or cuff leak, but we are wondering if this is correct based on what is listed in the includes section of this page and what is in Iatrogenic, mechanical complication/dysfunction, internal orthopedic prosthetic device or implant or graft or bone device and Iatrogenic, mechanical complication/dysfunction, cardiac or vascular prosthetic device or implant or graft, NOS Lisa Kaita 12:37, 2024 March 20 (CDT)20 March 2024 17:37:32
