This code signifies the long-term or residual effects resulting from carbon monoxide poisoning due to the incomplete combustion of domestic fuels other than utility gas or motor vehicle exhaust. These sequelae are specifically attributed to an intentional act of harm (assault). The patient is no longer in the acute phase of poisoning, but is experiencing lasting complications.

Apply this code when documenting chronic neurological deficits, persistent cardiovascular issues, or other lasting organ damage that is directly attributable to a past carbon monoxide poisoning event. This code is appropriate when the poisoning was determined to be an assault and the carbon monoxide source was from domestic fuels like wood, charcoal, or kerosene. It should be used after the acute phase of poisoning has passed.

• Always sequence this sequela code after the code for the specific residual condition being treated.
• Ensure documentation clearly links the current sequela to a past carbon monoxide poisoning from domestic fuels and specifies the assault intent.
• Do not use for acute poisoning or for poisoning from utility gas, motor vehicle exhaust, or other specified sources.
