The 2020 edition of ICD-10-CM I26.09 became effective on October 1, 2019. This is the American ICD-10-CM version of I26.09 - other international versions of ICD-10 I26.09 may differ.
The patient arrives in the hospital’s emergency service unit in a state of cardiac arrest and is resuscitated (and admitted) with the condition prompting the cardiac arrest known, such as ventricular tachycardia or trauma. The condition causing the cardiac arrest is sequenced first followed by code 427.5, Cardiac arrest.

Respiratory Arrest Leads to Cardiac Arrest Respiratory arrest will always lead to cardiac arrest if nothing is done to treat it. 2 When a patient has respiratory arrest, two things happen: Carbon dioxide is not removed properly from the bloodstream, leading to a buildup of carbonic acid.
Sudden cardiac arrest is the abrupt loss of heart function, breathing and consciousness. The condition usually results from a problem with your heart's electrical system, which disrupts your heart's pumping action and stops blood flow to your body.
If the patient dies during the admission, the cardiac arrest will not serve as a major complication or comorbidity (MCC). If the patient dies in-house from the cardiac arrest without attempt at resuscitation, such that the cardiac arrest is their terminal event, you do not code the arrest.
The condition causing the cardiac arrest is sequenced first followed by code 427.5, Cardiac arrest. When cardiac arrest occurs during the course of hospitalization and the patient is resuscitated, code 427.5 may be used as a secondary code except as outlined in the exclusion note under category 427.
Secondary cardiac arrest is different because it results from a problem originating outside of the heart. For example, secondary cardiac arrest can result from drowning, narcotic-like drugs or respiratory (lung) failure.
Causes and mechanismsSudden cardiac arrest (SCA), or sudden cardiac death (SCD), occur when the heart abruptly begins to beat in an abnormal or irregular rhythm (arrhythmia). ... Coronary artery disease (CAD), also known as ischemic heart disease, is responsible for 62 to 70 percent of all sudden cardiac deaths.More items...
ICD-10 code I46 for Cardiac arrest is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Diseases of the circulatory system .
ICD-10 code Z86. 74 for Personal history of sudden cardiac arrest is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Factors influencing health status and contact with health services .
INITIAL VITALS, use the normal Vitals & ECG Power Tools to document (even if the patient is in cardiac arrest.) While Pt is in arrest, use the “CPR Vitals” power tool • Upon ROSC, use the normal vitals & ECG power tools. Use the “CPR Vitals” Power Tool to simplify documentation. actual pt's pulse.
Causes of Death in Cardiogenic Shock and Cardiac Arrest The causes and predictors of death differ between CS and CA: ABI is the primary cause of death in patients with CA, whereas CS patients typically die via refractory shock, organ failure, and arrhythmias.
The cardiogenic shock code is still a “symptom” code that is not usually reported if the underlying cause is stated. If the cardiogenic shock leads to cardiac arrest, then it makes sense that only the cardiac arrest code would be reported.
code blueHospital staff may call a code blue if a patient goes into cardiac arrest, has respiratory issues, or experiences any other medical emergency. Hospitals typically have rapid response teams ready to go when they get notified about a code blue.
The sudden cessation of cardiac activity so that the victim subject/patient becomes unresponsive, without normal breathing and no signs of circulation. Cardiac arrest may be reversed by cpr, and/or defibrillation, cardioversion or cardiac pacing.
Cessation of heart beat or myocardial contraction. If it is treated within a few minutes, heart arrest can be reversed in most cases to normal cardiac rhythm and effective circulation.
The cardiac arrest codes are found in I46. The options are I46.2, Cardiac arrest due to an underlying cardiac condition, I46.8, Cardiac arrest due to other underlying condition, and I46.9, Cardiac arrest, cause unspecified. I46.2 and I46.8 would be secondary diagnoses because if you establish the underlying cause, ...
There are approximately 350,000-400,000 cases of cardiac arrest arising outside of the hospital setting per year, and not all of these patients make it to the emergency department. The incidence in any given hospital on any given shift is somewhere between zero and what you see on TV medical shows.
The last facet of documenting the emergency department cardiac arrest is to be sure to take inventory of the resultant conditions. Did the patient fall and sustain fractures or lacerations? Were there fractured ribs from CPR? Are there sequelae such as coma or anoxic brain injury, respiratory failure or arrest, shock liver, acute kidney injury, etc.? Make precise, thorough, and exhaustive diagnoses with appropriate linkage.
If the patient dies during the admission, the cardiac arrest will not serve as a major complication or comorbidity (MCC).
This intellectual exercise reminded me of debates I had previously about whether you code cardiac arrest in the hospital if the patient is not successfully resuscitated. For that, I and Coding Clinic have a definitive answer. If a patient sustains cardiac arrest in the hospital and you attempt (or are successful at) resuscitation, you code it and the procedures performed. If the patient dies during the admission, the cardiac arrest will not serve as a major complication or comorbidity (MCC).
If there are residual issues or deficits, those could be definitive diagnoses. For instance, if the patient has anoxic brain damage and is in respiratory arrest and on a ventilator, those could be the captured diagnoses. However, I think leaving out the cardiac arrest would be leaving out a key part of the story.
On the other hand, you are doing the workup because it occurred. If a patient has a symptom that elicits a work up, but it has resolved by the time they are brought into the ED, you still can code it, such as with syncope or altered mental status.
Clinical Information. A pulmonary embolism is a sudden blockage in a lung artery. The cause is usually a blood clot in the leg called a deep vein thrombosis that breaks loose and travels through the bloodstream to the lung. Pulmonary embolism is a serious condition that can cause. permanent damage to the affected lung.
damage to other organs in your body from not getting enough oxygen. if a clot is large, or if there are many clots, pulmonary embolism can cause death. Half the people who have pulmonary embolism have no symptoms. If you do have symptoms, they can include shortness of breath, chest pain or coughing up blood.
Code 427.5, Cardiac arrest, may be used as a secondary code in the following instances:#N#The patient arrives in the hospital’s emergency service unit in a state of cardiac arrest and is resuscitated (and admitted) with the condition prompting the cardiac arrest known, such as ventricular tachycardia or trauma. The condition causing the cardiac arrest is sequenced first followed by code 427.5, Cardiac arrest.#N#When cardiac arrest occurs during the course of hospitalization and the patient is resuscitated, code 427.5 may be used as a secondary code except as outlined in the exclusion note under category 427. 1 The patient arrives in the hospital’s emergency service unit in a state of cardiac arrest and is resuscitated (and admitted) with the condition prompting the cardiac arrest known, such as ventricular tachycardia or trauma. The condition causing the cardiac arrest is sequenced first followed by code 427.5, Cardiac arrest. 2 When cardiac arrest occurs during the course of hospitalization and the patient is resuscitated, code 427.5 may be used as a secondary code except as outlined in the exclusion note under category 427.
When cardiac arrest occurs during the course of hospitalization and the patient is resuscitated, code 427.5 may be used as a secondary code except as outlined in the exclusion note under category 427.
When the physician records cardiac arrest to indicate an inpatient death, do not assign code 427.5 when the underlying cause or contributing cause of death is known since the Uniform Hospital Discharge Data Set (UHDDS) has a separate item for reporting deaths occurring during an inpatient stay.
If the patient is freshly resuscitated and brought to the hospital, I don’t think the Z code would be appropriate, as the evaluation and care of the prehospital arrest is still in process. However, during subsequent admissions (or office visits, for that matter), the Z code would be entirely appropriate for use, as the acute episode of cardiac arrest precipitating the index admission to the hospital is resolved.
