496 - Chronic airway obstruction, not elsewhere classified. ICD-10-CM.
Lobar pneumonia, unspecified organism J18. 1 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes. The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM J18. 1 became effective on October 1, 2021.
ICD-10 code J98. 11 for Atelectasis is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Diseases of the respiratory system .
8: Other specified respiratory disorders.
Pneumonia, unspecifiedICD-10 code: J18. 9 Pneumonia, unspecified | gesund.bund.de.
9: Fever, unspecified.
Definition. Atelectasis is the collapse of part or, much less commonly, all of a lung.
9 – Acute Bronchitis, Unspecified. Code J20. 9 is the diagnosis code used for Acute Bronchitis, Unspecified.
ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code J01 8); acute abscess of sinus; acute empyema of sinus; acute infection of sinus; acute inflammation of sinus; acute suppuration of sinus; code (B95-B97) to identify infectious agent.
Mucus plugging is classified as a foreign body as it is foreign to the respiratory tract. Please note that in Sixth edition the external cause code for mucus plugging would be W80. 8 Other specified object.
A blockage in your airway could prevent your body from getting enough oxygen. A lack of oxygen can cause brain damage, and even a heart attack, in a matter of minutes. Any obstruction of the upper airway has the potential to be life-threatening.
Small airway disease (SAD) results from remodeling, obstruction by mucus, and disappearance of terminal and transitional bronchioles, the last airways before the gas exchanging region of the lung. SAD is an early pathologic lesion in susceptible smokers who develop COPD.
New Word Suggestion. At the bases of both lungs. For example, someone with a pneumonia in both lungs might have abnormal bibasilar breath sounds.
SymptomsDifficulty breathing.Rapid, shallow breathing.Wheezing.Cough.
Bibasilar atelectasis is a condition that happens when you have a partial collapse of your lungs. This type of collapse is caused when the small air sacs in your lungs deflate. These small air sacs are called alveoli. Bibasilar atelectasis specifically refers to the collapse of the lower sections of your lungs.

Findings: Complete nasal obstruction by polyps obscuring of all of the normal landmarks. The right middle turbinate was found and preserved. The residual body of the left middle turbinate was found and preserved. There was thickened hyperplastic mucosa throughout the sinuses with some polyps in the sinuses, and the majority of the sinus cavities were filled with glue-like mucopurulent debris. At the end of the case there were no visible polyps, the airway was clear, and the debris had been removed.
IV sedation and general anesthesia was administered, per the anesthesia department. A single lumen endotrachial tube was placed for bronchoscopy, per anesthesia. Due to the nature of the trauma, we were interested in ruling out a bronchial tear. The bronchoscope was introduced in the mouth and passed into the throat without difficulty. There was no evidence of sanguineous drainage or bronchial trauma noted to the left mainstem. There were copious amounts of secretions noted and removed without difficulty. The right mainstem was also cannulated and found to be free of unexpected trauma. The bronchoscopy was terminated at that time.
The alveolar guard was placed over the upper alveolus to protect the teeth. Appropriate drapes were placed. The anterior laryngoscope was inserted and direct laryngoscopy (Placement of the direct laryngoscope.) was performed with no abnormal findings other than the above-described tumor.
The position was confirmed by bronchoscopy. The patient was placed in the decubitus position with the left side up. The chest was prepped in standard fashion with Betadine, sterile towels, sheets, and drapes. A small incision is made along the upper boarder of the fourth rib just below the intercostal space and a standard port placement was utilized to gain access to the thoracic cavity. An endoscope was inserted into the chest cavity. Initially we had excellent exposure with good isolation of the lung. (Thoracoscope was used.) We identified a large bleb at the apex of the lower lobe of the left lung, which was likely to be the source of the chronic air leak. We removed the area of the large bleb at the apex with a wedge resection using thoracoscopic green load for therapeutic correction of the patient's pneumothorax. (Wedge resection.) The wounds were closed in layers. Chest tubes were placed. The patient tolerated the procedure well and was taken to the recovery room.
Postoperative Diagnosis: Recurrent pleural effusion, stage IV right lung cancer. (Report this diagnosis if no further findings are found in the notes.)
The residual body of the left middle turbinate was found and preserved. There was thickened hyperplastic mucosa throughout the sinuses with some polyps in the sinuses, (Documentation supports the presence of sinus polyps.) and the majority of the sinus cavities were filled with glue-like mucopurulent debris.
