ICD-10-PCS 6A4 Extracorporeal or Systemic Therapies: Physiological Systems Hypothermia
The ICD-10-PCS root operation Hypothermia (code 6A4) refers to the deliberate reduction of body temperature as part of an extracorporeal or systemic therapy. This procedure is applied to physiological systems to manage or treat specific clinical conditions by lowering the patient's core temperature.
Within the Extracorporeal or Systemic Therapies section, the use of Hypothermia serves to protect organs and tissues, often during critical care or surgical interventions. The provided codes specify whether a single or multiple instances of hypothermia therapy are administered: code 6A4Z0ZZ indicates a Single hypothermia treatment, while code 6A4Z1ZZ denotes Multiple therapies. These distinctions help accurately capture the treatment duration and intensity as part of the patient's procedural record, ensuring precise documentation of systemic temperature modulation therapies.
