Poisoning by tramadol, undetermined, sequela

This code indicates a long-term health condition or complication resulting from a tramadol overdose or exposure where the intent (accidental, intentional self-harm, assault) cannot be determined. It signifies that the acute phase of the poisoning has passed, and the patient is now experiencing residual effects.

Apply this code when documenting a chronic health issue directly attributable to a past tramadol poisoning event, and the medical record does not specify whether the poisoning was accidental, intentional, or due to assault. This is appropriate for follow-up encounters addressing these persistent sequelae.

• Always sequence this code after the code for the specific sequela (e.g., chronic kidney disease, neurological damage).
• Ensure the medical record clearly links the current condition to a past tramadol poisoning and explicitly states the undetermined intent.
• Do not use for acute poisoning events; refer to the acute poisoning codes for initial encounters.
