Poisoning by thrombolytic drug, accidental, subs

This code signifies an accidental overdose or adverse reaction to a thrombolytic medication, such as tissue plasminogen activator (tPA), that occurred unintentionally. The patient is receiving active treatment for the poisoning, or the sequelae of the poisoning, during this encounter.

This code is appropriate for documenting follow-up care for a patient who experienced an accidental poisoning by a thrombolytic drug. This includes subsequent visits for monitoring, managing complications like bleeding, or adjusting treatment plans after the initial acute event.

• Always assign an additional code for the specific manifestation of the poisoning (e.g., hemorrhage).
• Ensure the "D" seventh character is used only for encounters after the initial treatment of the poisoning.
• Distinguish from adverse effects of correctly administered drugs, which would use a different code category.
