Introduction. Status asthmaticus is a medical emergency, an extreme form of asthma exacerbation characterized by hypoxemia, hypercarbia, and secondary respiratory failure.
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.

Asthma causes symptoms like shortness of breath, wheezing, coughing or chest tightness. Severity differs in each person.
Asthma exacerbation: – It is nothing but an acute increase of symptoms in a person with asthma. This can be coded only with the Physician diagnosis. Status asthmatics : – Another term for this is severe asthma exacerbation. It is considered as severe as this may lead to even respiratory failure due to hypoxemia.
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.
Apart from knowing the symptoms and doing a lung physical examination the physician will also do few test measures like X-ray, spirometry, allergy testing, nitric oxide breath test or peak flow to determine the type of asthma and it’s severity. Hence a coder should definitely pay attention to these areas as well.
Asthma is a chronic disease, means it does not have a complete cure. Hence people with asthma should learn to live with it. Though it cannot be cured completely, symptoms can be reduced if we give proper care and treat on time.
In the ICD-9 index under Diabetes under poorly controlled it states:#N#code to Diabetes, by type, with 5th digit for not stated as uncontrolled.#N#My training was query the doctor for clarification when terms like poorly or not adequately controlled are used.
The article should have stated that while doctors may use the terms “uncontrolled” and “poorly controlled” interchangeably, they are not synonymous, according to Huff. But the terms “uncontrolled” and “out of control” are synonymous, he says.
uncontrolled diabetes -vs- controlled diabetes#N#The rule of thumb that I was given is IF the patients HgA1c is within normal limits then it is controlled diabetes, if it is not then it is uncontrolled diabetes.
coders are not to interpret lab results. If it is not stated as uncontrolled in the documentation then we cannot code it as such. If you look at the 5th digit definitions in the code book it says "not STATED as uncontrolled.
