Hemothorax or hemopneumothorax, nontraumatic Just 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)

Iatrogenic, mechanical complication/dysfunction, internal prosthetic device or implant or graft NOS At 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) 2024-03-20 5:37:32 PM
Myocardial infarction, acute (AMI), NOS ICD 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)
2024-04-05 8:10:42 PM
STB ICUs VAP Rate, CLIBSI Rate Summary
  • IIRC we collected CAM positive (TISS Item) specifically for this, right? If so, can we stop collecting it? And can we make sure a stoppage like this in the future results in reviewing what we collect? Ttenbergen 10:02, 2024 March 20 (CDT)
    • Delirium rate per 1000 days per unit is being reported in the OIT Reports. ---JMojica 11:49, 2024 March 20 (CDT)
      • As in Delirium days is reported in Critical Care Program Quality Indicator Report? But that doesn't mention anything about per-1000-days. Ttenbergen 17:00, 2024 March 20 (CDT)
      • The rate is mentioned in the succeeding definition with the delirium days as numerator. Your proposal here is to stop collecting TISS item CAM positive which I disagree because that TISS item is being used and reported as rate in OIT Report. Besides, the reason why it was dropped in in the STB VAPCLI report is because the requestor has changed. Brett Hiebert who used to request this was involved in the VAP group and another Delirium group so he asked to have both as one request. Brett had left and the VAP group filled up a new request to continue the VAP data and not on the delirium data. --JMojica 13:58, 2024 March 25 (CDT)

    ICU Database Task Group Meeting – Jan 11, 2023

    Copied here as starting point for 2023, please edit/overwrite

    • Present: Allan, Gail, Julie, Michelle, Mindy, Stephanie, Tina, Val, Pagasa, Mailah
    • Minutes prepared by: AG
    • Action items in BOLD

    1. Transition to Database Server#Shared Health - Nothing new about either of the possible alternative options for hosting the database.

    2. Controlling Dx Type for ICD10 codes - Regarding the task to improve data collector diagnosis assignment into the 3 "bins" of admission diagnosis, acquired diagnosis and comorbid diagnosis.

    • Lisa indicated that for a first pass on this, she will distribute all the codes among all the collectors.

    3. New item: Clarification of Pulmonary emphysema or bullous disease without COPD. Allan modified this Wiki entry to make it clearer.

    4. New item: Regarding the code Sudden cardiac death (and died)

    • After discussion we recognized that we have no need to specifically code patients' cause of death. We know it occurred by virtue of the Dispo field. Thus we agreed to remove this item from the list of ICD-10 codes, and to have Julie go into all records where it has been recorded and remove it. Allan modified the Wiki page also.

    5. New question: It was noticed that an error occurs if a diagnosis of Influenza is recorded (which is an implied bug) and one attempts to combine it with a Nosocomial problem code. Tina will fix this.

    6. Followup item from long ago: Seeking to get ABGs at Grace Hospital to be included in the Lab Info System (LIS).

    • The last time we tried for this, in 2015, the resp therapy group at Grace was not interested in being required to manually logging this information into LIS, as IS done at HSC and St. B.
    • We think they may be more open to it now -- so today Allan emailed Heather Smith, asking her to raise it with them.
    • If they indeed are willing, Allan will talk to Dr. Soroko about getting it implemented.

    7. Uncertainty of when/how to use Complication of labor and delivery, NOS

    • As our database is only for adult patients, this code should not be used to indicate such a complication for a newborn. For example: During hospitalization, such a complication occurs, but it only affects the newborn and has no medical consequence for the mother --- here this code should not be used.
    • Of course, for some such complications when the newborn with a complication becomes an adult, that problem persists, e.g. Fetal Alcohol Syndrome. If that adult is then admitted, it is the Fetal Alcohol Syndrome that should be included as a Comorbid Diagnoses -- again you would NOT code Complication of labor and delivery, NOS.
    • The only time Complication of labor and delivery, NOS would be coded is when the mother incurs that complication herself, AND there is not a more specific code for the complication she incurred.
