Oth intraop cardiac functional disturb during oth surgery

This code signifies an unexpected and adverse cardiac event or dysfunction that occurs during a surgical procedure other than cardiac surgery. It encompasses a range of issues such as arrhythmias, myocardial ischemia, or acute heart failure that manifest during the intraoperative period.

Use this code when documentation clearly indicates a new onset or exacerbation of a cardiac functional disturbance during a non-cardiac surgical procedure. This requires physician documentation specifying the cardiac event and its occurrence during the surgery.

• Always sequence this code after the code for the underlying surgical complication (e.g., hemorrhage, infection) if applicable, or after the primary reason for the surgery if no other complication is documented.
• Ensure the documentation specifies "intraoperative" and "other surgery" to differentiate from postoperative complications or complications during cardiac surgery.
• Do not use for pre-existing cardiac conditions that were merely monitored during surgery; this code is for new or acutely worsened disturbances.
