Poisoning by thrombolytic drug, assault, sequela

This code signifies a long-term health consequence or complication arising from a deliberate act of poisoning with a thrombolytic medication. It indicates that the patient is experiencing residual effects from a past event where a thrombolytic drug was administered with malicious intent.

Apply this code when documenting conditions that are directly attributable to a previous assault involving a thrombolytic agent, and these conditions are no longer acute. Examples include chronic bleeding disorders, organ damage, or neurological deficits that developed as a result of the poisoning and are still present.

• Always sequence this code after the code(s) for the specific sequela being treated.
• Ensure documentation clearly links the current condition to a past thrombolytic poisoning by assault.
• Do not use for acute poisoning events; this code is exclusively for residual effects.
