What are the treatments for COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease)?
Doctors consider stage 2 COPD to be moderate. When a person has stage 2 COPD, their symptoms can include shortness of breath, chronic cough, and frequent respiratory infections. COPD will generally become more severe as the disease progresses.

9 Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, unspecified.
COPD is defined as being “stable” when symptoms are well managed and pulmonary decline is minimized, while management of “unstable” COPD (in patients who experience frequent or severe exacerbations and a faster decline in pulmonary function) can be more challenging.
ICD-10 code J44. 9 for Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, unspecified is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Diseases of the respiratory system .
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, or COPD, refers to a group of diseases that cause airflow blockage and breathing-related problems. It includes emphysema and chronic bronchitis. COPD makes breathing difficult for the 16 million Americans who have this disease.

They will also consider the severity of your symptoms and the frequency of flare-ups.
Chronic obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) also commonly known as chronic obstructive lung disease is a disease for the lungs that is persistent with poor air flow as a result of breakdown of the lung tissue and dysfunction of the small airways.
ICD 10 codes j40-j44 will be used to define the various diagnoses of Chronic Obstructive pulmonary disease including all disease entities bronchitis and lung disease. Code j44 will be used for other chronic obstructive pulmonary disease including asthma with chronic, obstructive pulmonary disease, chromic asthmatic obstructive bronchitis, chronic bronchitis with airways obstruction, chronic bronchitis with emphysema and chronic obstructive asthma.
History of tobacco use (Z87.891) Occupational exposure to environmental tobacco smoke (Z57.31) Tobacco use (Z72.0) The ICD 10 codes between J44 and j45 are normally used to specify and distinguish between uncomplicated cases and those conditions in acute exacerbation.

Prevention of the disease is highly possible and should always be encouraged even though treatment is also effective.
COPD ICD 10 Code list and guidelines 1 As COPD is a group of diseases it is important to see the coding guidelines properly before deciding which code to be assigned. 2 Look for the notes – Excludes 1, excludes 2, includes, code also, use additional. 3 Excludes 1 note has codes from category J43, J41, J42, J47 and J68.0 4 Asthma of specified type (Eg: mild intermittent asthma) should be coded separately along with COPD. 5 Disease – Airway – Obstructive = Leads to COPD
Diagnosis of COPD can be done by doing pulmonary function test (PFT), chest X-ray, CT lung or arterial blood gas analysis.
Peter, 68 year old male admitted to hospital for cough and dyspnea from past one week. He had visited a nearby clinic and was diagnosed as COPD exacerbation.

Review of systems shows productive cough, chills and fever. Vitals noted as temperature 101.2 F, heart rate 89 bpm, respiratory rate 18 bpm, BP 140/86 mm Hg, oxygen saturation 84% RA, 98% on 4L nasal canula. Physical exam shows coarse breath sounds, and wheezing throughout. Chest X-ray showed positive for pneumonia. Sputum culture showed positive for pneumococcus.
Groups of lung diseases contribute to COPD, most commonly seen combinations are Emphysema and chronic bronchitis. Cigarette smoking is one of the major risk factor in increasing the number of COPD patients in the world.
Asthma with specified type can be coded separately. As COPD is a group of diseases it is important to see the coding guidelines properly before deciding which code to be assigned. Look for the notes – Excludes 1, excludes 2, includes, code also, use additional.
