ICD-10 code Z99. 11 for Dependence on respirator [ventilator] status is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Factors influencing health status and contact with health services .
Status code categories V46. 1 (ICD‐9, HCC 82) and Z99. 1 (ICD‐10, HCC 82) are for use when the patient is dependent on respirator (ventilator). This code category also includes weaning from a mechanical ventilator and encounters for respiratory (ventilator) dependence during power failure.
00 for Acute respiratory failure, unspecified whether with hypoxia or hypercapnia is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Diseases of the respiratory system .
Ventilator dependence was defined as the failure to wean the patient from the ventilator while hospitalized in the intensive care unit or respiratory care center, in conjunction with continued use of a ventilator according to hospital discharge status.
Secondary diagnosis: Respiratory failure may be listed as a secondary diagnosis if it occurs after admission, or if it is present on admission, but does not meet the definition of principal diagnosis.
Code Classification Z99. 11 is a billable diagnosis code used to specify a medical diagnosis of dependence on respirator [ventilator] status.
Acute Respiratory Failure as Principal Diagnosis A code from subcategory J96. 0, Acute respiratory failure, or subcategory J96. 2, Acute and chronic respiratory failure, may be assigned as a principal diagnosis when it is the condition established after study to be chiefly responsible for the hospital admission.
ICD-10-CM Code for Acute and chronic respiratory failure J96. 2.
Types of acute respiratory failure Hypoxemic respiratory failure means that you don't have enough oxygen in your blood, but your levels of carbon dioxide are close to normal. Hypercapnic respiratory failure means that there's too much carbon dioxide in your blood, and near normal or not enough oxygen in your blood.
Long-term ventilator dependence is the need for mechanical ventilation for more than 6 h/d for more than 21 days.
Respiratory failure is divided into type I and type II. Type I respiratory failure involves low oxygen, and normal or low carbon dioxide levels. Type II respiratory failure involves low oxygen, with high carbon dioxide.
Acute respiratory failure usually stems from difficulty getting enough oxygen to the lungs, problems removing CO2 from the lungs, or both. This can be due to tissue damage, fluid buildup, muscular spasms, or other physical processes.
