About ICD-9-CM 518.52

518.52 is an ICD-9-CM diagnosis code for other pulmonary insufficiency, not elsewhere classified, following trauma and surgery. ICD-9-CM was retired for U.S. claims on October 1, 2015, when ICD-10-CM took over.

The CMS General Equivalence Mappings translate it to 3 ICD-10-CM codes, such as J95.1 (Acute pulmonary insufficiency following thoracic surgery), J95.2 (Acute pulmonary insufficiency following nonthoracic surgery) and J95.3 (Chronic pulmonary insufficiency following surgery). All of these are approximate matches, so review the record to pick the right one.
