O89.0Pulmonary complications of anesthesia during the puerperium

O89.0 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for pulmonary complications of anesthesia during the puerperium. It belongs to category O89 (complications of anesthesia during the puerperium), block O85-O92 (complications predominantly related to the puerperium) and chapter 15 (pregnancy, childbirth and the puerperium). It is a header code, so it can't be reported by itself; one of its 2 subcodes must be used instead.

Within O89 (complications of anesthesia during the puerperium), O89.0 is specifically for pulmonary complications of anesthesia during the puerperium. Related codes cover cardiac complications of anesthesia during the puerperium (O89.1), central nervous system complications of anesthesia during the puerperium (O89.2), toxic reaction to local anesthesia during the puerperium (O89.3), spinal and epidural anesthesia-induced headache during the puerperium (O89.4), other complications of spinal and epidural anesthesia during the puerperium (O89.5), failed or difficult intubation for anesthesia during the puerperium (O89.6), other complications of anesthesia during the puerperium (O89.8) and complication of anesthesia during the puerperium, unspecified (O89.9).

To report this condition, pick the subcode that matches the documentation: O89.01 (puerperium) and O89.09 (puerperium).

Use an additional code, if applicable, to identify specific complication.

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