Poisoning by hemostatic drug, intentional self-harm, sequela

This code signifies a long-term complication or residual effect resulting from a deliberate overdose or self-poisoning with a hemostatic drug. These drugs are used to promote blood clotting, and their misuse can lead to various lasting health issues. The "sequela" indicates that the acute phase of the poisoning has passed, and the patient is now experiencing chronic consequences.

Assign this code when documenting a patient presenting with a chronic condition directly attributable to a past intentional self-harm event involving a hemostatic agent. This includes situations where the patient is being treated for organ damage, neurological deficits, or other persistent health problems that arose from the poisoning. It is used after the initial acute poisoning has been resolved.

• Always sequence this sequela code after the code for the specific nature of the sequela (e.g., chronic kidney disease, liver damage).
• Ensure documentation clearly links the current condition to the past intentional hemostatic drug poisoning.
• Do not use this code for acute poisoning events; instead, refer to the appropriate acute poisoning codes.
