ICD-10 code P22. 0 for Respiratory distress syndrome of newborn is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Certain conditions originating in the perinatal period .
Acute respiratory failure, unspecified whether with hypoxia or hypercapnia. J96. 00 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes. The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM J96.
It is classified according to blood gases values:Type 1 Respiratory Failure (hypoxemic): is associated with damage to lung tissue which prevents adequate oxygenation of the blood. ... Type 2 Respiratory Failure (hypercapnic): occurs when alveolar ventilation is insufficient to excrete the carbon dioxide being produced.

Respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) occurs in babies born early (premature) whose lungs are not fully developed. The earlier the infant is born, the more likely it is for them to have RDS and need extra oxygen and help breathing. RDS is caused by the baby not having enough surfactant in the lungs.
ICD-10 | Shortness of breath (R06. 02)
Respiratory distress happens when a person is unable to regulate gas exchange, causing them to either take in too little oxygen or expel too little carbon dioxide. Respiratory failure can follow respiratory distress, and causes more severe difficulties with gas exchange. Left untreated, it may be fatal.
Respiratory distress syndrome, also known as hyaline membrane disease, occurs almost exclusively in premature infants.
Acute Respiratory Failure:Type 1 (Hypoxemic ) - PO2 < 50 mmHg on room air. Usually seen in patients with acute pulmonary edema or acute lung injury. ... Type 2 (Hypercapnic/ Ventilatory ) - PCO2 > 50 mmHg (if not a chronic CO2 retainer). ... Type 3 (Peri-operative). ... Type 4 (Shock) - secondary to cardiovascular instability.
A code from subcategory J96. 0, Acute respiratory failure, or subcategory J96. 2, Acute and chronic respiratory failure, may be assigned as a principal diagnosis when it is the condition established after study to be chiefly responsible for the hospital admission.
Secondary diagnosis: Respiratory failure may be listed as a secondary diagnosis if it occurs after admission, or if it is present on admission, but does not meet the definition of principal diagnosis.
In ICD-10-CM the classification of Respiratory Failure (J96) includes “acute (J96. 0-)”, “chronic” (J96. 1-). “acute and chronic” (J96.
