You can help reduce your risk by doing the following:
In chronic obstructive lung disease (asthma, chronic bronchitis, obstructive emphysema) there is a segmental reduction in the caliber of the airways, which always results in obstruction to air-flow. Increased airway resistance is a physiological expression of airway obstruction.The addition of inspi …

Acute airway obstruction occurs when there is a blockage in the airway, which can partially or totally prevent air from reaching the lungs. Swallowing or inhaling a foreign object, an allergic reaction, asthma and even certain types of infections can cause the airway to become obstructed.

Types of airway obstructions Upper airway obstructions occur in the area from your nose and lips to your larynx (voice box). Lower airway obstructions occur between your larynx and the narrow passageways of your lungs. Partial airway obstructions allow some air to pass.
One of the most common airway obstructions is the one that results from an extrinsic cause to the airway--food, blood or vomit. Any solid object can work as a foreign body and cause an airway obstruction--mechanical obstruction. Evaluation and control of the airway are carried out through quick and simple procedures.
Airflow obstruction refers primarily to a finding, by spirometry, of a reduced expiratory airflow compared to the total amount of air exhaled. This has been defined as a reduction in the ratio of forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1) to forced vital capacity (FVC).
ICD-10-CM J41. 8 is grouped within Diagnostic Related Group(s) (MS-DRG v39.0): 190 Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease with mcc.
The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM J98. 19 became effective on October 1, 2021. This is the American ICD-10-CM version of J98.
Small airway disease (SAD) is a common feature in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patients. Chronic exposure to cigarette smoking causes inflammation, damage, tissue remodelling and eventually airway loss. These features lead to airflow limitation and defective alveolar ventilation.
496 is a legacy non-billable code used to specify a medical diagnosis of chronic airway obstruction, not elsewhere classified. This code was replaced on September 30, 2015 by its ICD-10 equivalent.
COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease) makes it hard for you to breathe. The two main types are chronic bronchitis and emphysema. The main cause of COPD is long-term exposure to substances that irritate and damage the lungs. This is usually cigarette smoke. Air pollution, chemical fumes, or dust can also cause it.
General Equivalence Map Definitions The ICD-9 and ICD-10 GEMs are used to facilitate linking between the diagnosis codes in ICD-9-CM and the new ICD-10-CM code set. The GEMs are the raw material from which providers, health information vendors and payers can derive specific applied mappings to meet their needs.
The Index to Diseases and Injuries is an alphabetical listing of medical terms, with each term mapped to one or more ICD-10 code (s). The following references for the code J98.8 are found in the index:
The following clinical terms are approximate synonyms or lay terms that might be used to identify the correct diagnosis code:
The General Equivalency Mapping (GEM) crosswalk indicates an approximate mapping between the ICD-10 code J98.8 its ICD-9 equivalent. The approximate mapping means there is not an exact match between the ICD-10 code and the ICD-9 code and the mapped code is not a precise representation of the original code.
