The symptoms of low levels of CO exposure are similar to flu symptoms or food poisoning:
The long term effects of breathing in carbon monoxide can affect:
Symptoms. Signs and symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning may include: Dull headache; Weakness; Dizziness; Nausea or vomiting; Shortness of breath; Confusion; Blurred vision; Loss of consciousness; Carbon monoxide poisoning can be particularly dangerous for people who are sleeping or intoxicated.

J96. 12 - Chronic respiratory failure with hypercapnia | ICD-10-CM.
The most common symptoms of CO poisoning are headache, dizziness, weakness, upset stomach, vomiting, chest pain, and confusion. CO symptoms are often described as “flu-like.” If you breathe in a lot of CO it can make you pass out or kill you.
2022 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code T65. 91XA: Toxic effect of unspecified substance, accidental (unintentional), initial encounter.
Hypercapnia, or hypercarbia, is when you have too much carbon dioxide (CO2) in your bloodstream. It usually happens as a result of hypoventilation, or not being able to breathe properly and get oxygen into your lungs.
9: Fever, unspecified.
The critical chemical difference is that CO2 contains one atom of carbon and two atoms of oxygen, whilst CO has one carbon and one oxygen atom. Carbon dioxide is non-flammable, whilst carbon monoxide is not – we certainly wouldn't encourage you to light a match in order to determine which gas is which.
In people suffering from co-morbidities, symptoms such as shortness of breath or chest pain may be more evident. The classical signs of carbon monoxide poisoning — described as cherry-red lips, peripheral cyanosis, and retinal haemorrhages — are rarely seen.
As CO levels increase and remain above 70 ppm, symptoms become more noticeable and can include headache, fatigue and nausea. At sustained CO concentrations above 150 to 200 ppm, disorientation, unconsciousness, and death are possible.
0 - Burn of unspecified body region, unspecified degree.
ICD-10 code A41. 9 for Sepsis, unspecified organism is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Certain infectious and parasitic diseases .
When a burn is described as infected, how many codes are needed, and how are they sequenced? Two codes are required, and the code for the burn is sequenced first.
