Oth foreign object in bronchus causing other injury, sequela

This code describes a long-term or late-effect condition resulting from a foreign object, other than food, lodged in the bronchus that caused an injury. The initial injury has resolved, but its lasting consequences are still present.

Use this code when documenting a patient presenting with a chronic condition or complication directly attributable to a past event where a foreign object was aspirated into the bronchus, leading to an injury. This applies when the acute phase of the aspiration and initial injury has passed.

• Always sequence this code after the code for the specific sequela or chronic condition being treated.
• Ensure documentation clearly links the current condition to a past foreign body aspiration in the bronchus.
• Do not use for acute foreign body aspiration; this code is exclusively for sequelae.
