Poisn by analeptics and opioid receptor antag, assault, init

This code signifies a poisoning event resulting from the intentional administration of analeptics (stimulants) or opioid receptor antagonists (e.g., naloxone) with the intent to harm another individual. The patient is experiencing the acute effects of this toxic exposure, which may include adverse reactions to the substances.

Use this code when documenting a patient presenting with symptoms of poisoning due to analeptics or opioid receptor antagonists, and the medical record clearly indicates the exposure was due to an assault. This code is appropriate for the initial visit or encounter where the poisoning is being evaluated and treated.

• Ensure documentation explicitly states "assault" as the intent of the poisoning.
• Verify that the substance involved is an analeptic or opioid receptor antagonist.
• This "A" seventh character indicates the initial encounter for this specific poisoning event.
