Post operative Resp Failure vs Pulmonary Insuff post-op or trauma
I am confused about Post-op Respiratory Failure. Does the post-op Respiratory Failure default to Post Traumatic Pulmonary Insuff (518.5) for an MCC??
I was of the understanding that in order to get the MCC, the physician must document Acute post-op pulmonary insuff for the MCC. Any information would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you
