Icd 10 pulseless electrical activity12/5/2023 Pulse amplitude may vary, and blood pressure may fluctuate.Vital signs may reveal hypotension, tachycardia, tachypnea, or low oxygen saturation.In particular, the examiner should look for the following in the physical examination, as these are frequent findings at the time of admission: Heart rate related - Palpitations associated with arrhythmias.Hemodynamic - Pulsation in the neck and abdomen, choking sensation, jaw pain, right upper quadrant (RUQ) pain, chest colds, and headache.Low cardiac output - Fatigue, weakness, dyspnea on exertion, lethargy, and lightheadedness.Hypotension - Seizure, mental status change, diaphoresis, and signs of orthostatic hypotension and shock.Heart failure - Dyspnea, orthopnea, paroxysmal nocturnal dyspnea, and edema.Neurological - Dizziness, near syncope, and confusion. Symptoms commonly documented in patients history, classified according to cause: In the lab, pacemaker interrogation plays a crucial role in determining if the pacemaker mode had any contribution to symptoms. Most of the signs and symptoms of pacemaker syndrome are nonspecific, and many are prevalent in the elderly population at baseline. No specific set of criteria has been developed for diagnosis of pacemaker syndrome. Patients who develop pacemaker syndrome may require adjustment of the pacemaker, or fitting of another lead to better coordinate the timing of atrial and ventricular contraction. When the timing between the two chambers goes out of synchronization, less blood is delivered on each beat. Normally the first chamber of the heart (atrium) contracts as the second chamber (ventricle) is relaxed, allowing the ventricle to fill before it contracts and pumps blood out of the heart. Individuals with a low heart rate prior to pacemaker implantation are more at risk of developing pacemaker syndrome. In general, the symptoms of the syndrome are a combination of decreased cardiac output, loss of atrial contribution to ventricular filling, loss of total peripheral resistance response, and nonphysiologic pressure waves. It is an iatrogenic disease-an adverse effect resulting from medical treatment-that is often underdiagnosed. Pacemaker syndrome is a condition that represents the clinical consequences of suboptimal atrioventricular (AV) synchrony or AV dyssynchrony, regardless of the pacing mode, after pacemaker implantation. They must be used in conjunction with an underlying condition code and they must be listed following the underlying condition.Ventricular pacemaker with 1:1 retrograde ventriculoatrial (V-A) conduction to the atria (arrows). "In diseases classified elsewhere" codes are never permitted to be used as first listed or principle diagnosis codes. The code title indicates that it is a manifestation code. In most cases the manifestation codes will have in the code title, "in diseases classified elsewhere." Codes with this title are a component of the etiology/manifestation convention. These instructional notes indicate the proper sequencing order of the codes, etiology followed by manifestation. Wherever such a combination exists there is a "use additional code" note at the etiology code, and a "code first" note at the manifestation code. For such conditions, ICD-10-CM has a coding convention that requires the underlying condition be sequenced first followed by the manifestation. Certain conditions have both an underlying etiology and multiple body system manifestations due to the underlying etiology.
