Clinical notes
Code first
This code represents a manifestation of an underlying disease. Coding convention requires the underlying (etiology) code to be sequenced first, with this code listed second.
- smoke inhalation (T59.81-)
Excludes2 (not included here)
An Excludes2 note means the excluded condition is not part of this one, but a patient can have both at the same time — in that case both codes may be reported together.
- smoke inhalation due to chemicals, gases, fumes and vapors (J68.9)
