ICD-10-CM Code for Hypoxemia R09. 02.
Hypoxemia is a below-normal level of oxygen in your blood, specifically in the arteries. Hypoxemia is a sign of a problem related to breathing or circulation, and may result in various symptoms, such as shortness of breath.Sep 30, 2005
R09. 02 is a billable diagnosis code used to specify a medical diagnosis of hypoxemia.
Normal arterial blood oxygen saturation levels in humans are 95–100 percent. If the level is below 90 percent, it is considered low and called hypoxemia. Arterial blood oxygen levels below 80 percent may compromise organ function, such as the brain and heart, and should be promptly addressed.
Many people with COVID-19 have low levels of oxygen in their blood, even when they feel well. Low oxygen levels can be an early warning sign that medical care is needed.
Having low oxygen levels in your blood is called hypoxemia. Having low oxygen levels in your tissues is called hypoxia. Hypoxemia can happen in high altitudes.Mar 6, 2018

Some of the most common causes of low blood oxygen levels (hypoxemia) include: Heart conditions. Lung conditions such as asthma, emphysema, and bronchitis. Strong pain medications or other problems that slow breathing.Feb 18, 2022

Below 88% becomes dangerous, and when it dips to 84% or below, it's time to go to the hospital. Around 80% and lower is dangerous for your vital organs, so you should be treated right away.
The blood hemoglobin concentration is determinant of oxygen delivery. In anemic patients, oxygen delivery decreases and oxygen extraction is increased. This leads to decreased venous hemoglobin saturation and a lower tissue oxygen saturation.Mar 13, 2009
