Poisoning by thrombolytic drug, undetermined, init encntr

This code signifies an adverse event resulting from a thrombolytic medication, where the intent (accidental, intentional self-harm, assault) of the poisoning cannot be determined by the provider. The patient is in the initial phase of receiving active treatment for the toxic effects.

Apply this code when a patient presents with symptoms of thrombolytic toxicity, and the medical record explicitly states that the intent of the exposure is unknown or undetermined. This is used for the first encounter where the poisoning is being evaluated and treated.

• Requires documentation of "undetermined" intent for the poisoning.
• Always sequence this code first for the poisoning event, followed by codes for specific manifestations of the toxicity.
• Do not use if intent is clearly accidental, intentional self-harm, or assault; use the appropriate intent-specific code instead.
