A ventilator dependent patient (due to emphysema) is admitted to the hospital at 10 am on January 1. He is admitted for dehydration and is placed on the hospital ventilator upon, admission. The patient is discharged on January 6 at 1pm .
Dehydration ICD 10 Codes are located in chapter 4 (endocrine nutritional and metabolic diseases, code range E00 – E89 and chapter 16 (conditions in perinatal period, code range P00-P96) P74.1 – Dehydration in newborn (from birth to 28 days)
ICD-10-CM Official Guidelines for Coding and Reporting FY 2021 Page 20 of 126 Z99.12, Encounter for respirator [ventilator] dependence during power failure The external cause of morbidity codes and the Z codes listed above are not an all-inclusive list. Other codes may be applicable to the encounter based upon the documentation.
For encounters for weaning from a mechanical ventilator, assign a code from subcategory J96.1, Chronic respiratory failure, followed by code Z99.11, Dependence on respirator [ventilator] status. The status Z codes/categories are:
Z99.1Status code categories V46. 1 (ICD‐9, HCC 82) and Z99. 1 (ICD‐10, HCC 82) are for use when the patient is dependent on respirator (ventilator). This code category also includes weaning from a mechanical ventilator and encounters for respiratory (ventilator) dependence during power failure.

The conventions for the ICD-10-CM are the general rules for use of the classification independent of the guidelines. These conventions are incorporated within the Alphabetic Index and Tabular List of the ICD-10-CM as instructional notes.
When assigning a chapter 15 code for sepsis complicating abortion, pregnancy, childbirth, and the puerperium, a code for the specific type of infection should be assigned as an additional diagnosis. If severe sepsis is present, a code from subcategory R65.2, Severe sepsis, and code(s) for associated organ dysfunction(s) should also be assigned as additional diagnoses.
More than one external cause code is required to fully describe the external cause of an illness or injury. The assignment of external cause codes should be sequenced in the following priority:
The word “with” or “in” should be interpreted to mean “associated with” or “due to” when it appears in a code title, the Alphabetic Index (either under a main term or subterm), or an instructional note in the Tabular List. The classification presumes a causal relationship between the two conditions linked by these terms in the Alphabetic Index or Tabular List. These conditions should be coded as related even in the absence of provider documentation explicitly linking them, unless the documentation clearly states the conditions are unrelated or when another guideline exists that specifically requires a documented linkage between two conditions (e.g., sepsis guideline for “acute organ dysfunction that is not clearly associated with the sepsis”).For conditions not specifically linked by these relational terms in the classification or when a guideline requires that a linkage between two conditions be explicitly documented, provider documentation must link the conditions in order to code them as related.
Do not code diagnoses documented as “probable”, “suspected,” “questionable,” “rule out,” “compatible with,” “consistent with,” or “working diagnosis” or other similar terms indicating uncertainty. Rather, code the condition(s) to the highest degree of certainty for that encounter/visit, such as symptoms, signs, abnormal test results, or other reason for the visit.
Condition is on the “Exempt from Reporting” list Leave the “present on admission” field blank if the condition is on the list of ICD-10-CM codes for which this field is not applicable . This is the only circumstance in which the field may be left blank.
