Why ICD-10 codes are important
ICD-10 code R09. 02 for Hypoxemia is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Symptoms, signs and abnormal clinical and laboratory findings, not elsewhere classified .
Having low oxygen levels in your blood is called hypoxemia. Having low oxygen levels in your tissues is called hypoxia. Hypoxemia can happen in high altitudes.
Hypoxemia and hypoxia do not always coexist. Patients can develop hypoxemia without hypoxia if there is a compensatory increase in hemoglobin level and cardiac output (CO). Similarly, there can be hypoxia without hypoxemia.
Definition. By Mayo Clinic Staff. Hypoxemia is a below-normal level of oxygen in your blood, specifically in the arteries. Hypoxemia is a sign of a problem related to breathing or circulation, and may result in various symptoms, such as shortness of breath.
Hypoxia is actually divided into four types: hypoxic hypoxia, hypemic hypoxia, stagnant hypoxia, and histotoxic hypoxia. No matter what the cause or type of hypoxia you experience, the symptoms and effects on your flying skills are basically the same.
Four types of hypoxia are distinguished in medicine: (1) the hypoxemic type, in which the oxygen pressure in the blood going to the tissues is too low to saturate the hemoglobin; (2) the anemic type, in which the amount of functional hemoglobin is too small, and hence the capacity of the blood to carry oxygen is too ...

Another possible cause of hypoxemia is a right-to-left shunt. ... Thickened Alveolar-Capillary Membrane. ... Low inspired oxygen pressure.
In general, hypoxia and/or hypoxemia is diagnosed by physical examination and by using oxygen monitors (pulse oximeters), determining, the oxygen level in a blood gas sample and may include pulmonary function tests.
Pulse oximetry and arterial blood gas findings should be interpreted in conjunction with the clinical situation as patients with normal pulse oximetry and/or normal pO2(a) may still be hypoxic.
Introduction and Definition Hypoxic refers to a partial lack of oxygen; anoxic means a total lack. In general, the more complete the deprivation, the more severe the harm to the brain and the greater the consequences.
Impaired oxygen (hypoxia) or reduced blood flow (ischemia) to the brain is a major cause of morbidity and mortality in humans resulting in cognitive impairment, seizures, and other neurological disabilities. Ischaemic stroke is the third leading cause of death in Western countries, behind only heart disease and cancer.
In order to determine whether you have hypoxemia, your doctor will need to check the amount of oxygen in your blood. Most often, your doctor will use an oxygen monitor that is placed on your finger. However, sometimes your doctor will take a blood sample to measure oxygen levels in the blood.
In many cases, hypoxemia points to hypoxia since low oxygen concentration in the blood often affects oxygen delivery to the tissues. They can also have similar symptoms, making the two even more difficult to discern....Hypoxia vs. hypoxemia causes.Hypoxia vs. hypoxemia causesHypoxiaHypoxemia1 more row•Nov 19, 2020

Hyperoxia is the opposite of hypoxia; hyperoxia refers to a state in which oxygen supply is excessive, and hypoxia refers to a state in which oxygen supply is insufficient. In the environment, it refers to excess oxygen in a body of water or other habitat.
The other signs and symptoms of hypoxia include:Bluish discoloration of skin, lips, and oral cavity.Decreased level of consciousness.Cough.Fast heart rate.Difficulty breathing.Slow heart rate.Palpitations.Sweating.
R09.02 is a valid billable ICD-10 diagnosis code for Hypoxemia . It is found in the 2021 version of the ICD-10 Clinical Modification (CM) and can be used in all HIPAA-covered transactions from Oct 01, 2020 - Sep 30, 2021 .
DO NOT include the decimal point when electronically filing claims as it may be rejected. Some clearinghouses may remove it for you but to avoid having a rejected claim due to an invalid ICD-10 code, do not include the decimal point when submitting claims electronically.

R09.02 is a billable ICD code used to specify a diagnosis of hypoxemia. A 'billable code' is detailed enough to be used to specify a medical diagnosis.
An example of asphyxia is choking. Asphyxia causes generalized hypoxia, which affects primarily the tissues and organs. There are many circumstances that can induce asphyxia, all of which are characterized by an inability of an individual to acquire sufficient oxygen through breathing for an extended period of time.
