The ICD-10-CM is a catalog of diagnosis codes used by medical professionals for medical coding and reporting in health care settings. The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) maintain the catalog in the U.S. releasing yearly updates.
Localized edema
ICD-10 code J81. 0 for Acute pulmonary edema is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Diseases of the respiratory system .
J81. 0, acute pulmonary edema.
2022 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code L76. 32: Postprocedural hematoma of skin and subcutaneous tissue following other procedure.
ICD-10-CM Code for Acute pulmonary insufficiency following nonthoracic surgery J95. 2.
Acute pulmonary oedema is a medical emergency which requires immediate management. 1. It is characterised by dyspnoea and hypoxia secondary to fluid accumulation in the lungs which impairs gas exchange and lung compliance.
Abstract. Flash pulmonary edema (FPE) is a general clinical term used to describe a particularly dramatic form of acute decompensated heart failure.
81 for Encounter for surgical aftercare following surgery on specified body systems is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Factors influencing health status and contact with health services .
Encounter for other specified surgical aftercare Z48. 89 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 Z48. 89 became effective on October 1, 2021.

Abstract. The development of a postoperative respiratory insufficiency is typically caused by several factors and include patient-related risks, the extent of the procedure and postoperative complications. Morbidity and mortality rates in acute lung injury (ALI) and acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) are high.
ICD-10 Code for Chronic pulmonary insufficiency following surgery- J95. 3- Codify by AAPC.
Respiratory insufficiency: The condition in which the lungs cannot take in sufficient oxygen or expell sufficient carbon dioxide to meet the needs of the cells of the body. Also called pulmonary insufficiency.
Pulmonary edema is usually caused by heart problems, but it can also be caused by high blood pressure, pneumonia, certain toxins and medicines, or living at a high altitude. Symptoms include coughing, shortness of breath, and trouble exercising.
A disorder characterized by accumulation of fluid in the lung tissues that causes a disturbance of the gas exchange that may lead to respiratory failure. Accumulation of fluid in the lung tissues causing disturbance of the gas exchange that may lead to respiratory failure.
Mechanisms for non-cardiogenic pulmonary edema include an increased capillary permeability and changes in pressure gradients within the pulmonary vasculature causing inflammation.
If the documentation is unclear, clarification would be needed. Although linking language is not required, it is best practice to link the etiology to acute pulmonary edema, leaving no question about its underlying cause and providers should be educated as such.
The onset of acute pulmonary edema often has a sudden onset, but it can be gradual as well. A patient with acute pulmonary edema typically demonstrates a variety of symptoms such as shortness of breath, especially while lying flat or with activity, wheezing, bilateral infiltrates on chest x-ray, a feeling of drowning, tachypnea, tachycardia, dizziness, restlessness, anxiety/agitation, frothy and/or pink tinged sputum, cyanosis and a variety of additional symptoms based on the underlying etiology.
