What is PE ICD 10 or Pulmonary Embolism ICD 10?

ICD 10 Code for Pulmonary Embolism is I26.99, also known as Pulmonary Thromboembolism ICD 10 or Pulmonary Infarction ICD 10, is a type of condition where there is a blood clot completely blocks an artery in the lungs, which restrict blood flow and then leads to symptoms like shortness of breath, pain in chest, and a rapid or increased heart rate. It often originates from a clot often in the deep veins of the legs, which is called deep vein thrombosis and that travels to the lungs.

Why is PE ICD 10 Happening?

Bilateral Pulmonary embolism ICD 10, or PE ICD 10, can be caused by:

• Blood Clots:

  Often from deep vein thrombosis.

• Surgery or Trauma:

  Leading to clot formation.

• Medical Conditions:

  such as clotting disorders.

Treatment Options for Acute Pulmonary Embolism ICD 10

• Medications:

  Anticoagulants to prevent clotting, thrombolytics to dissolve clots.

• Procedures:

  Vein filters, surgical removal of clots.

Coding Suggestions for PE ICD 10

It can be life-threatening and requires immediate hospitalization treatment. The acute phase necessitates emergency care and should be coded in in-patient or hospitalization reports.

Diagnostics for Pulmonary Embolism Unspecified ICD 10

• Imaging Tests:

  CT pulmonary angiography, chest X-ray, Duplex venous ultrasound, Ventilation/perfusion scan (VQ), Magnetic resonance pulmonary angiography (MRPA), Pulmonary angiography and Venography.

• Blood Tests:

  D-dimer test to detect clot presence.

Symptoms for Pulmonary Embolism ICD 10

• Sudden shortness of breath.
• Chest pain that may extend to the arm, jaw, shoulder, or neck.
• Rapid heart rate and breathing, weak pulse.
• Fainting and coughing up blood.
