ICD-10-PCS 5A0 Extracorporeal or Systemic Assistance and Performance: Physiological Systems Assistance

The ICD-10-PCS root operation Assistance (code 5A0) involves providing extracorporeal or systemic support to physiological systems. This means the procedure temporarily helps or takes over the function of a body system to sustain life or improve function.

Within the classification of Extracorporeal or Systemic Assistance and Performance, these codes cover various ways of aiding the cardiac and respiratory systems, among others. Examples include assisting cardiac output through devices like a balloon pump or an impeller pump, either intermittently or continuously (e.g., 5A02110, 5A0221D). Respiratory assistance codes document support such as continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) for ventilation assistance lasting from less than 24 hours up to over 96 hours (e.g., 5A09357, 5A09557). Other procedures include extracorporeal hyperbaric oxygenation and veno-venous filtration (e.g., 5A05121, 5A05A0L). Correct use of these Assistance codes is essential to precisely describe the method and duration of systemic physiological support provided during patient care.

List of ICD-10-PCS codes used to specify 5A0 - Assistance (taking over a portion of a physiological function by extracorporeal means). There are a total of 35 procedure codes in this section.
