J96.10Chronic respiratory failure, unspecified whether with hypoxia or hypercapnia. J96. 10 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes.
Types of acute respiratory failure The two types of acute and chronic respiratory failure are hypoxemic and hypercapnic. Both conditions can trigger serious complications and the conditions often coexist.

Chronic respiratory failure can also be classified as hypoxemic or hypercapnic respiratory failure. Low blood oxygen levels cause hypoxemic respiratory failure. High carbon dioxide levels cause hypercapnic respiratory failure.

Hypercapnia (from the Greek hyper = "above" or "too much" and kapnos = "smoke"), also known as hypercarbia and CO2 retention, is a condition of abnormally elevated carbon dioxide (CO2) levels in the blood.

Common causes of hypoxemic respiratory failure include severe pneumonia and acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). Common causes of hypercapnic/hypoxemic respiratory failure include central nervous system depression, diseases of the respiratory muscles, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).
The most common cause of ARDS is sepsis, a serious and widespread infection of the bloodstream. Inhalation of harmful substances. Breathing high concentrations of smoke or chemical fumes can result in ARDS, as can inhaling (aspirating) vomit or near-drowning episodes. Severe pneumonia.
Hypercapnia is generally caused by hypoventilation, lung disease, or diminished consciousness. It may also be caused by exposure to environments containing abnormally high concentrations of carbon dioxide, such as from volcanic or geothermal activity, or by rebreathing exhaled carbon dioxide.
Hypercapnia is excess carbon dioxide (CO2) build-up in your body. The condition, also described as hypercapnea, hypercarbia, or carbon dioxide retention, can cause effects such as headaches, dizziness, and fatigue, as well as serious complications such as seizures or loss of consciousness.
Respiratory (RES-pih-rah-tor-e) failure is a condition in which not enough oxygen passes from your lungs into your blood. Respiratory failure also can occur if your lungs can't properly remove carbon dioxide (a waste gas) from your blood. Too much carbon dioxide in your blood can harm your body's organs.
When a person has acute respiratory failure, the usual exchange between oxygen and carbon dioxide in the lungs does not occur. As a result, enough oxygen cannot reach the heart, brain, or the rest of the body. This can cause symptoms such as shortness of breath, a bluish tint in the face and lips, and confusion.
Treating hypercapnia involves treating the underlying cause. This may require intubation, artificial breathing, CPR, antidotes to a drug overdose, or the use of long-term non-invasive ventilation therapy.
Type I respiratory failure involves low oxygen, and normal or low carbon dioxide levels.
