This code signifies a long-term consequence or residual effect resulting from a deliberate act of self-poisoning involving substances that primarily target the respiratory system. These sequelae can include chronic lung damage, persistent respiratory distress, or other lasting impairments directly attributable to the initial toxic exposure.

Apply this code when documenting a patient presenting with a current condition or symptom that is a direct and lasting result of a past intentional self-harm event involving respiratory toxins. This is appropriate for follow-up care for chronic respiratory issues stemming from such an incident, even if the acute poisoning event occurred months or years prior.

• Always sequence this code after the code(s) for the specific sequela being treated (e.g., chronic bronchitis, pulmonary fibrosis).
• Ensure documentation clearly links the current respiratory condition to a past intentional self-harm poisoning event.
• Do not use for acute poisoning events; this code is exclusively for sequelae.
