ICD-9-CM 785.9 is a billable medical code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis on a reimbursement claim, however, 785.9 should only be used for claims with a date of service on or before September 30, 2015.
The ICD code I469 is used to code Pulseless electrical activity. Pulseless electrical activity or PEA (also known by the older term electromechanical dissociation) refers to a clinical diagnosis of cardiac arrest in which a heart rhythm is observed on the electrocardiogram that should be producing a pulse, but is not.
In PEA, there is electrical activity, but the heart either does not contract or there are other reasons this results in an insufficient cardiac output to generate a pulse and supply blood to the organs. Specialty: Cardiology. ICD 9 Code: 427.9. Source: Wikipedia.
R09.89 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes. The 2018/2019 edition of ICD-10-CM R09.89 became effective on October 1, 2018. This is the American ICD-10-CM version of R09.89 - other international versions of ICD-10 R09.89 may differ.
89 for Other specified symptoms and signs involving the circulatory and respiratory systems is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Symptoms, signs and abnormal clinical and laboratory findings, not elsewhere classified .

779.81 Neonatal bradycardia - ICD-9-CM Vol.
1: Bradycardia, unspecified.
9: Fever, unspecified.
A diminished foot pulse may be the only clue that a patient is at increased risk of cardiovascular death. There is a strong association among peripheral artery disease (PAD), coronary artery disease, carotid artery disease, and abdominal aortic aneurysm.
A heart rate of less than 60 beats per minute, with its origin in the sinus node.
R00. 1 - Bradycardia, unspecified. ICD-10-CM.

Be aware that this code include subcutaneous insertion of the pulse generator and transvenous placement of electrode/electrodes. Use CPT 33208 when the services involve insertion or replacement of a permanent pacemaker with transvenous electrodes in both the right atrium and right ventricle.
Bradycardia can be caused by: Heart tissue damage related to aging. Damage to heart tissues from heart disease or heart attack. A heart condition present at birth (congenital heart defect)

Atropine is the first line medication for the treatment of bradycardia. The administration of atropine typically causes an increase in heart rate.
Atropine: The first drug of choice for symptomatic bradycardia. The dose in the bradycardia ACLS algorithm is 1 mg IV push and may repeat every 3-5 minutes up to a total dose of 3 mg.
Bradycardia treatment may include lifestyle changes, medication changes or an implanted device called a pacemaker. If an underlying health problem, such as thyroid disease or sleep apnea, is causing the slow heart rate, treatment of that condition might correct bradycardia.
Patients with imminent heart failure or unstable patients with bradycardia need immediate treatment. The drug of choice is usually atropine 0.5–1.0 mg given intravenously at intervals of 3 to 5 minutes, up to a dose of 0.04 mg/kg. Other emergency drugs that may be given include adrenaline (epinephrine) and dopamine.
Arterial pulsation is used to gate the signal to the arterial component of blood contained within the nailbed. Ear oximetry is a noninvasive method for evaluating arterial oxygenation. Ear oximeters are commonly used in sleep studies. Single and Multiple Determinations (94760, 94761):
Providers are reminded to refer to the long descriptors of the CPT codes in their CPT book. The American Medical Association (AMA) and the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) require the use of short CPT descriptors in policies published on the Web.
Likewise, these codes are considered included as an element of other primary procedures such as a simple pulmonar y stress test (94620) and respiratory therapy services (G0237, G0238, and G0239).5 Conversely, 94762 achieves “A” status, allowing for separate reimbursement when coverage regulations are met. Under certain circumstances, 94762 may be separately payable to a physician (see “Indications, Medical Necessity, and Documentation”).
Pulseless electrical activity or PEA (also known by the older term electromechanical dissociation) refers to a clinical diagnosis of cardiac arrest in which a heart rhythm is observed on the electrocardiogram that should be producing a pulse, but is not.

This is the official approximate match mapping between ICD9 and ICD10, as provided by the General Equivalency mapping crosswalk. This means that while there is no exact mapping between this ICD10 code I46.9 and a single ICD9 code, 427.5 is an approximate match for comparison and conversion purposes.
