ICD-9 code 493.92 for Asthma unspecified with (acute) exacerbation is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range -CHRONIC OBSTRUCTIVE PULMONARY DISEASE AND ALLIED CONDITIONS (490-496).
Extrinsic Asthma. Extrinsic asthma is caused by an allergic reaction to something in your environment that your immune system views as "foreign" to your body. Intrinsic asthma is any type of asthma that isn't caused by an allergy. During an asthma attack, inflammation causes your airways to swell and clog with mucous.
It is characterized by spasmodic contraction of airway smooth muscle, wheezing, and dyspnea (dyspnea, paroxysmal). Asthma is a chronic disease that affects your airways. Your airways are tubes that carry air in and out of your lungs. If you have asthma, the inside walls of your airways become sore and swollen.
A chronic respiratory disease manifested as difficulty breathing due to the narrowing of bronchial passageways. A form of bronchial disorder with three distinct components: airway hyper-responsiveness (respiratory hypersensitivity), airway inflammation, and intermittent airway obstruction.
In most cases the manifestation codes will have in the code title, "in diseases classified elsewhere.". Codes with this title are a component of the etiology/manifestation convention. The code title indicates that it is a manifestation code.
Refer Chapter 10 (Diseases of the respiratory system (J00- J99) in ICD-10-CM for Asthma guidelines.
Need to code both asthma and COPD because asthma with additional specificity can be coded along with COPD.
What happens to our Lungs (Center of respiratory system)during asthma attack: During asthma attack, muscles around the airway gets tighten and the lining inside the airways becomes swollen and produce extra mucus. This makes airway to become narrow and partially block airflow in and out of air sacs.
This type of asthma occurs more than 2 times in a week with regular breathing difficulties to an extent of disturbing daily activities. Moderate persistent. These patients suffer from symptoms daily and last for several days. Severe persistent.
Their symptoms may completely disappear after few years. Experts say this may be due to the growth of airways along with body growth. Cough variant. It is so called because of the main symptom, dry cough. Mild intermittent.
Asthma causes symptoms like shortness of breath, wheezing, coughing or chest tightness. Severity differs in each person.
Inhaler : – Medicine filled inhalers are given to patient to use comfortably at any place when symptoms occurs suddenly.
