Common sedatives or hypnotics

• benzodiazepines
• barbiturates
• dilantin and most other antiseizure drugs
• tricyclics and most anti-depressants (but not lithium, which is categorized under “Psychiatric drug NOS”)
• xylazine is a non-opiate sedative, analgesic and muscle relaxant authorized for veterinary use in the US, now being found in a number of illicit drug mixtures such as fentanyl, cocaine and heroin

Acute intoxication codes

• SMW

• Cargo

• Categories

• This category simply indicates that the patient was intoxicated -- i.e. drunk, high, etc
• Acute intoxication does not necessarily mean there is a chronic abuse/dependence/addiction
  • If there was a threat to life, or limb, or to functioning for one or more organs -- then you should instead use, as appropriate, a code from

• This is usually going to be an Admit Diagnosis -- although if the patient becomes intoxicated from taking something AFTER admission, it could be an Acquired Diagnosis / Complication
  • please note that if using this code as an Acquired Diagnosis combine with Iatrogenic, complication of medical or surgical care NOS if appropriate

For situations where patients have overdosed, ie where there is an immediate risk to their life, use the corresponding "overdose" code:
