Sleep related hypoventilation
hypoventilation
Hypoventilation (also known as respiratory depression) occurs when ventilation is inadequate (hypo meaning "below") to perform needed respiratory gas exchange. By definition it causes an increased concentration of carbon dioxide (hypercapnia) and respiratory acidosis.

Intermittent use for exertional nocturnal desaturation is not." Based on that, when the patient is not on O2 24/7, I understand the clinical concept discussing "regardless of the amount of time" to support adding code Z99.81, but not for use in a chronic respiratory failure query.

What is oxygen desaturation during sleep?

The oxygen desaturation index (ODI) is a measure of insufficient blood oxygen during sleep. If you have a diagnostic sleep study, this can be one of the components in the report that you receive describing your results. Oxygen saturation is a measure of the oxygen in your blood.

What is significant nocturnal hypoxemia?

Nocturnal hypoxemia was defined as more than 10% of total sleep time below a SpO2 of 90% (Deflandre et al., 2018).

What is nocturnal hypoventilation?

Nocturnal hypoventilation (NH) is a complication of respiratory involvement in neuromuscular disorders (NMD) that can evolve into symptomatic daytime hypercapnia if not treated proactively with non-invasive ventilation.

Oxygen Desaturation Dips into the 80 - 89% range can be considered moderate, and those below 80% are severe.

What is the difference between 95800 and 95806?

Reporting 95800 includes a measurement of sleep time and 95806 describes a measurement of respiratory airflow and effort.

What is idiopathic sleep related nonobstructive alveolar hypoventilation?

The idiopathically acquired form of central alveolar hypoventilation is also described in the ICSD-3 under Sleep-Related Nonobstructive Alveolar Hypoventilation, Idiopathic. It is characterized by blunted chemoresponsiveness in the absence of identifiable abnormalities (pulmonary, cardiac, neurologic, or muscular).

What is Hypopneas in sleep study?

Hypopnea is both a symptom of and the common name for a type of sleep breathing disorder. The definition of a hypopnea is 10 seconds or more of shallow breathing where you lose 30% to 90% of your normal airflow, with a blood oxygen saturation drop of 3% to 4%2 or accompanied with sleep fragmentation.

Review the medical record documentation for the condition that requires the oxygen dependence, e.g., COPD, emphysema, acute-on-chronic systolic heart failure, chronic systolic heart failure, chronic respiratory failure. Query for clarification if condition is not documented.

What does it mean when a patient is dependent on oxygen?

Dependence on supplemental oxygen indicates the patient is on long term oxygen therapy. This can be reported regardless of the amount of time on oxygen each day (e.g., patient uses oxygen only at night).

Is dependence on oxygen a chronic respiratory failure?

Good point, Michael, because “dependence’ on oxygen is not documentation of ‘chronic respiratory failure’ nor does it code to ‘chronic respiratory failure’, although it could be clinical support for same.

Can you report dependent on oxygen?

Looking at the reference below - I always read this as you can report "dependence on supplemental oxygen" regardless of the amount of time per day the patient is on oxygen . I did not think it implied to chronic respiratory failure, as the this reference is not located under "unspecified chronic respiratory failure".

Is continuous home O2 a reliable indicator of chronic hypoxemic respiratory failure?

April 2019. Per the 2019 Pocket Guide, pg 194, it is indicated that "Dependence on continuous home O2 (24 hours a day) is a reliable indicator of chronic hypoxemic respiratory failure. Intermittent use for exertional nocturnal desaturation is not.".
