Toxic effect of 2-Propanol, intentional self-harm, init

This code signifies a patient presenting with adverse health effects resulting from the deliberate ingestion or exposure to 2-Propanol (isopropyl alcohol) with the intent to harm themselves. The patient is in the initial phase of treatment for this toxic exposure.

Apply this code when a patient is admitted to the emergency department or hospital for acute poisoning due to intentional self-harm involving isopropyl alcohol. This would include scenarios where the patient explicitly states self-harm intent or where clinical evidence strongly suggests it.

• Ensure documentation clearly states "intentional self-harm" or "suicide attempt" related to the 2-Propanol exposure.
• This "initial encounter" code is used for the entire period the patient is receiving active treatment for the toxic effect.
• Always code any associated physical injuries or mental health diagnoses separately.
