Trapped lung is one of the outcomes of fibrinous or granulomatous pleuritis and is a cause of chronic, benign, unilateral pleural effusion. It is characterized by inability of the lung to expand and fill the thoracic cavity due to a restricting fibrous visceral pleural peel.
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.

Air space opacification is a descriptive term that refers to the filling of the pulmonary tree with material that attenuates x-rays more than the surrounding lung parenchyma. It is one of the many patterns of lung opacification and is equivalent to the pathological diagnosis of pulmonary consolidation.
According to Coding Clinic, chronic restrictive lung disease is assigned to code 518.89, Other diseases of lung, not elsewhere classified. It also says that chronic restrictive lung disease “is an ill-defined term, however, and should be used only when the condition cannot be described more specifically.”
Introduction. Hypercarbia is defined by an increase in carbon dioxide in the bloodstream. Though there are multiple causes for hypercarbia, the body is usually able to compensate if the respiratory drive and lung function are not compromised. When this compensation is inadequate, respiratory acidosis results.
VICC advises that documentation of respiratory desaturation, meeting criteria for coding, should be coded to R09. 89 Other specified symptoms and signs involving the respiratory system following the Index entry Symptoms specified NEC/involving/respiratory system NEC.

The General Equivalency Mapping (GEM) crosswalk indicates an approximate mapping between the ICD-10 code J98.8 its ICD-9 equivalent. The approximate mapping means there is not an exact match between the ICD-10 code and the ICD-9 code and the mapped code is not a precise representation of the original code.

What every physician needs to know: Trapped lung syndrome refers to a condition in which the lung does not fully expand during pleural drainage to oppose the chest wall. This form of non-expandable lung is the sequela of prior pleural inflammation that results in the creation of a fibrous peel on the visceral pleura.
The pressure curve of lung entrapment starts out with a normal and relatively flat pressure-volume curve with little change in pressure for any change in volume. As the terminal part of the lung fails to expand with continued drainage, the pressure drops additionally with any given change in volume, and the curve steepens. The pressure curve of trapped lung typically starts out at zero or slightly negative and drops precipitously during the initial withdrawal of pleural fluid.
Under normal conditions, if one were to add fluid to a closed system (the thorax), the pressure would rise; and as the fluid is removed, the pressure would fall until a steady state is reached. In the chest, the pleural pressure at functional residual capacity (FRC) is normally slightly negative (-3 to -5 cmH 2 0) because the balance of forces of the chest have a tendency to expand, and the lung’s elastic recoil results in a tendency for the lung to collapse.
The major difference is that lung entrapment may result from either pleural or non-pleural causes, while trapped lung results from pleural causes only. Patients with active pleural inflammation can have thickening of the visceral pleura, causing non-expandable lung, especially toward the end of pleural drainage.

Patients with active pleural inflammation can have thickening of the visceral pleura, causing non-expandable lung, especially toward the end of pleural drainage. Non-pleural causes of lung entrapment include diseases that increase the elastic recoil pressures of the lung, such as endobronchial obstruction causing atelectasis or interstitial disease, such as lymphangitic carcinomatosis.
Similarly, in the setting of non-expandable lung, as fluid is removed, pleural pressure drops and eventually air has to enter the pleural cavity.
This high pleural elastance (change in pressure/change in volume) is a hallmark of trapped lung.
