What is ICD-10-CM, ICD-10-PCS, CPT, and HCPCS?
For ambulatory surgery, code the diagnosis for which the surgery was performed. If the postoperative diagnosis is known to be different from the preoperative diagnosis at the time the diagnosis is confirmed, select the postoperative diagnosis for coding, since it is the most definitive. See Section I.C.15.

If a patient is actively bleeding, the patient should be taken urgently for control of the hemorrhage. Until the patient is transferred to the operating room, if hemorrhaging is significant, direct pressure, either with a throat pack or gauze, should be applied to the tonsillar fossa if the patient is cooperative.

K91- Intraoperative and postprocedural complications and disorders of digestive system, not elsewhere classified
In most cases the manifestation codes will have in the code title, "in diseases classified elsewhere.". Codes with this title are a component of the etiology/manifestation convention. The code title indicates that it is a manifestation code.
The overall rate of perioperative hemorrhage or hematoma is 2.25 per 1,000 admissions. If a hospital had a rate of 0, one might suspect tomfoolery.
If there are dense adhesions and an enterotomy is inadvertently caused, was it unavoidable? If there is hemorrhage because the neoplasm is excessively vascular, the bleeding is inherent to the pathology, and not directly caused by the surgery. If a patient undergoes a thoracotomy, an iatrogenic pneumothorax is expected, and is excluded from PSI-6.
In order to trigger PSI-9, there must be a hemorrhage or hematoma due to a surgical procedure performed during an admission that requires a second PCS procedure to address the issue, and there cannot be any extenuating conditions from a list of coagulation disorders. The index procedure must be performed in the operating room, but the subsequent procedure can be at the bedside or in the OR. Many root operations are included in the list of procedures, including repair, drainage, occlusion, extirpation, and control.
I am not sure why it is titled “perioperative hemorrhage or hematoma,” because the included diagnoses are all “postprocedural” hemorrhages or hematomas. There is a whole set of intraoperative hemorrhage and hematoma ICD-10-CM codes, but they are not included in PSI-9. In fact, I think this introduces one of the elements of confusion. It is possible that some are conflating PSI-9 with PSI-15, abdominopelvic accidental puncture or laceration rate. The conditions that fall under PSI-15’s purview are intra operative misadventures of puncture or laceration.
