ICD Code J80

ICD code J80 is acute respiratory distress syndrome, a severe lung condition causing widespread inflammation and difficulty breathing.

1. Acute onset of respiratory symptoms such as severe shortness of breath and hypoxemia

2. Bilateral opacities on chest imaging not fully explained by effusions, lobar/lung collapse, or nodules

3. Respiratory failure not fully explained by cardiac failure or fluid overload

4. PaO2/FiO2 ratio ≤ 300 mmHg with a minimum of 5 cm H2O positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP)

5. Presence of a known clinical insult or risk factor such as sepsis, pneumonia, aspiration, trauma, or pancreatitis

- 94656–94657 (Ventilator management, initiation and management)

- 94660 (Continuous positive airway pressure ventilation, CPAP)

- 94662 (Continuous negative pressure ventilation)

- 99291–99292 (Critical care, evaluation and management)

- 36556 (Insertion of non-tunneled centrally inserted central venous catheter)
