Status asthmaticus is typically diagnosed by symptoms and supported by various tests that measure respiration rate and blood oxygen levels. The common diagnostic signs of status asthmaticus include: Breathlessness at rest.
Status asthmaticus is an older, less precise term for what's now more commonly known as acute severe asthma or a severe asthma exacerbation. It refers to an asthma attack that doesn't improve with traditional treatments, such as inhaled bronchodilators. These attacks can last for several minutes or even hours.

Moderate Persistent Asthma Asthma is classified as moderate persistent if symptoms occur daily. Flare-ups occur and usually last several days. Coughing and wheezing may disrupt the child's normal activities and make it difficult to sleep. Nighttime flare-ups may occur more than once a week.
ICD-9 code 493.92 for Asthma unspecified with (acute) exacerbation is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range -CHRONIC OBSTRUCTIVE PULMONARY DISEASE AND ALLIED CONDITIONS (490-496).
Mild persistent asthma is defined as requiring a low dose of ICS to achieve control, moderate asthma as requiring a higher dose of ICS or additional medication, and severe asthma as requiring high ICS doses plus add-on medication with or without oral corticosteroids.

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.
A chronic respiratory disease manifested as difficulty breathing due to the narrowing of bronchial passageways. A form of bronchial disorder with three distinct components: airway hyper-responsiveness (respiratory hypersensitivity), airway inflammation, and intermittent airway obstruction.
It is characterized by spasmodic contraction of airway smooth muscle, wheezing, and dyspnea (dyspnea, paroxysmal). Asthma is a chronic disease that affects your airways. Your airways are tubes that carry air in and out of your lungs. If you have asthma, the inside walls of your airways become sore and swollen.

A chronic respiratory disease manifested as difficulty breathing due to the narrowing of bronchial passageways. A form of bronchial disorder with three distinct components: airway hyper-responsiveness (respiratory hypersensitivity), airway inflammation, and intermittent airway obstruction.
Symptoms include wheezing, coughing, tightness in the chest, shortness of breath, and rapid breathing. An attack may be brought on by pet hair, dust, smoke, pollen, mold, exercise, cold air, or stress. A chronic respiratory disease manifested as difficulty breathing due to the narrowing of bronchial passageways.
Refer Chapter 10 (Diseases of the respiratory system (J00- J99) in ICD-10-CM for Asthma guidelines.
Asthma causes symptoms like shortness of breath, wheezing, coughing or chest tightness. Severity differs in each person.
Need to code both asthma and COPD because asthma with additional specificity can be coded along with COPD.
What happens to our Lungs (Center of respiratory system)during asthma attack: During asthma attack, muscles around the airway gets tighten and the lining inside the airways becomes swollen and produce extra mucus. This makes airway to become narrow and partially block airflow in and out of air sacs.
This type of asthma occurs more than 2 times in a week with regular breathing difficulties to an extent of disturbing daily activities. Moderate persistent. These patients suffer from symptoms daily and last for several days. Severe persistent.
Their symptoms may completely disappear after few years. Experts say this may be due to the growth of airways along with body growth. Cough variant. It is so called because of the main symptom, dry cough. Mild intermittent.
Apart from knowing the symptoms and doing a lung physical examination the physician will also do few test measures like X-ray, spirometry, allergy testing, nitric oxide breath test or peak flow to determine the type of asthma and it’s severity. Hence a coder should definitely pay attention to these areas as well.
