Vasovagal syncope is the most common cause of fainting. It happens when the blood vessels open too wide or the heartbeat slows, causing a temporary lack of blood flow to the brain. It's generally not a dangerous condition. To prevent fainting, stay out of hot places and don't stand for long periods.
Some postoperative complications are related to the exact surgery that you have had, but many (such as wound infection) may occur after any kind of surgery. The most common postoperative complications include fever, small lung blockages, infection, pulmonary embolism (PE) and deep vein thrombosis (DVT).
For a condition to be considered a complication, the following must be true: It must be more than an expected outcome or occurrence and show evidence that the provider evaluated, monitored, and treated the condition. There must be a documented cause-and-effect relationship between the care given and the complication.
When assigning a ICD-10-CM diagnosis code(s) for a surgical complication, report the code for the complication first, followed by any additional diagnosis code(s) required to report the patient's condition. Example 1: Complication from a surgical procedure for treatment of a neoplasm.
Syncope is a temporary loss of consciousness usually related to insufficient blood flow to the brain. It's also called fainting or "passing out."
Overview. Fainting, or passing out, is referred to medically as a syncopal episode, or syncope. Syncopal episodes are typically triggered by a sudden, temporary drop in blood flow to the brain, which leads to loss of consciousness and muscle control.
Prescyncope is when you feel as if you're about to pass out, but you don't actually faint. It's sometimes referred to as near syncope. You may also feel lightheaded, sweaty, nauseous, warm, and weak, or have a fast heartbeat or blurry vision. Presyncope can be caused by the same factors that cause syncope.
