Poisoning by intravenous anesthetics, undetermined, subs

This code indicates a poisoning event due to an intravenous anesthetic where the intent (e.g., accidental, intentional self-harm, assault) cannot be determined. The patient is receiving active treatment for the adverse effects of the anesthetic, or the sequelae of the poisoning are being managed during a follow-up visit.

Use this code for a patient presenting for ongoing care or follow-up after an intravenous anesthetic poisoning of unknown intent. This applies when the initial acute phase of treatment has concluded, but the patient is still experiencing or being treated for the effects of the poisoning.

• Requires a seventh character "D" for subsequent encounter, indicating ongoing care.
• Always sequence this code after any codes for the specific manifestations of the poisoning.
• Do not use if the intent of the poisoning is known (e.g., accidental, intentional self-harm).
