Other infection due to central venous catheter, sequela

This code signifies a long-term or residual effect stemming from an infection that originated from a central venous catheter. It indicates that the acute infection has resolved, but the patient continues to experience a related health problem.

Apply this code when documenting a condition that is a direct consequence of a past central venous catheter-related infection, such as chronic organ damage, persistent pain, or functional impairment. This would be used after the acute phase of the infection has passed and the patient is being treated for the lasting effects.

• Always sequence this code after the code for the specific sequela being treated.
• Ensure documentation clearly links the current condition to a previous central venous catheter infection.
• Do not use this code for active infections; use codes from the T80.21- series for current infections.
