O29.09Other pulmonary complications of anesthesia during pregnancy

O29.09 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for other pulmonary complications of anesthesia during pregnancy. It belongs to category O29 (complications of anesthesia during pregnancy), block O20-O29 (other maternal disorders predominantly related to pregnancy) and chapter 15 (pregnancy, childbirth and the puerperium). It is a header code, so it can't be reported by itself; one of its 4 subcodes must be used instead.

Within O29.0, choose O29.09 (Other pulmonary complications of anesthesia during pregnancy) only when documentation doesn't support a more specific option: aspiration pneumonitis due to anesthesia during pregnancy (O29.01) and pressure collapse of lung due to anesthesia during pregnancy (O29.02).

To report this condition, pick the subcode that matches the documentation: O29.091 (first trimester), O29.092 (second trimester), O29.093 (third trimester) and O29.099 (unspecified trimester).

Use an additional code, if necessary, to identify the complication.

It has been part of ICD-10-CM since the code set took effect on October 1, 2015 and hasn't changed since.
