Assign ICD-10-PCS code 5A1955Z, Respiratory ventilation, greater than 96 consecutive hours, since the ventilator was turned off on day five. After the mechanical ventilator is turned off, it is inappropriate to continue to count ventilation hours, even though the patient is continually being evaluated. The additional 72 hours that the patient is evaluated is not included in the ventilation time.
Begin counting the duration of mechanical ventilation at the time the patient is intubated in the emergency department, if the patient is subsequently admitted to the same hospital. In that situation code both the mechanical ventilation and endotracheal intubation.
Mechanical ventilation is a process by which gases are moved into the lungs by means of a mechanical device that assists respiration by augmenting or replacing the patient’s own ventilatory effort. With mechanical ventilation, the patient is either intubated or receives a tracheostomy and a variable degree of assistance is delivered to meet respiratory requirements in an uninterrupted fashion.
Occasionally, the endotracheal tube will need to be replaced due to mechanical problems (e.g., leakage of the cuff). The removal and immediate replacement of an endotracheal tube is counted as part of the initial duration. For those patients receiving mechanical ventilation via endotracheal intubation, and who later receive a tracheostomy through which mechanical ventilation continues, the duration is counted beginning at the start of intubation. The duration would continue through the time in which the tracheostomy is used. Examples of indications for tracheostomy can include, but are not limited to:
The purpose of weaning is to allow the patient to gradually resume spontaneous breathing, while being continually monitored. However, not all patients on mechanical ventilation require a period of weaning.
A patient, who had suffered acute respiratory failure, is admitted to the long term care hospital (LTCH) for ventilator weaning. On day one, the weaning trial was stopped after 12 hours. On day two, the weaning trial was discontinued after 16 hours. The patient tolerated a weaning trial of 18 hours on the third day. By day four, the patient had several more hours of monitored weaning and was breathing spontaneously on his own. On day five, the ventilator was turned off and the patient was extubated. According to clinical protocol at our facility, a patient is not “officially” weaned until he has been totally off of the ventilator for 72 hours. After the patient successfully completes the weaning trial, he is continually evaluated. Can we count the additional 72 hours as vent time, since evaluation and monitoring is part of the weaning process?
These weaning procedures are used in conjunction with the patient’s spontaneous breathing until the patient meets established clinical criteria and can totally support his or her own respiratory needs.
According to clinical protocol at our facility, a patient is not "officially" weaned until he has been totally off of the ventilator for 72 hours. Until the patient successfully completes the weaning trial period, he is continually evaluated.
Coders should always refer to the respiratory flow sheet before coding any services related to ventilator support. This flow sheet includes the intubation time, periodic dating and timing of ventilator management services, and the extubation time.
RACs can easily data-mine for noncompliance related to coding for ventilator support, says Glenn Krauss, BBA, RHIA, CCS, CCS-P, CPUR, C-CDI, CCDS,independent revenue cycle consultant in Madison, WI. For example, patients whose length of stay is fewer than two days can’t possibly be on a ventilator for 96 hours. "Simple math tells you this can't be correct," Krauss says. "Technically speaking, they almost don't even need to look at the record; they can tell by an automated review."
After the mechanical ventilator is turned off, it is inappropriate to continue to count ventilation hours, even though the patient is continually being evaluated.

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.
Serious inflammation of the lung in patients who required the use of pulmonary ventilator. It is usually caused by cross bacterial infections in hospitals (nosocomial infections).
For noninvasive mechanical ventilation BiPAP, the patient is not intubated will be coded to root operation “Assistance.” BiPAP that is being delivered to the patient through an endotracheal tube or a tracheostomy will be coded as mechanical ventilation with the root operation “Performance.”

These codes would not be reported to capture mechanical ventilation that is being used during a surgical procedure. The ventilatory support that is provided to a patient during surgery is considered an integral part of the surgical procedure and is not coded separately.
