Toxic effect of carbon monoxide (T58)

The ICD-10 code section T58 classifies the toxic effects caused by exposure to carbon monoxide (CO) from various sources. These codes specify the source of carbon monoxide, such as motor vehicle exhaust, utility gas, domestic fuels, or other unknown sources, and capture the intent of exposure, including accidental, intentional self-harm, assault, or undetermined causes.

This range of codes provides detailed documentation for carbon monoxide poisoning incidents. For example, codes like T58.01XA cover accidental poisoning from motor vehicle exhaust and include synonyms such as "carbon monoxide poisoning from motor vehicle exhaust" or "accidental poisoning by motor vehicle exhaust gas," helping coders link the condition to the exact code. Likewise, intentional self-harm by carbon monoxide inhalation is coded under T58.02XA with synonyms including "suicide attempt by carbon monoxide inhalation" or "self poisoning by motor vehicle exhaust gas." Other variations specify initial, subsequent, or sequela encounters to accurately represent the treatment stage. These codes enable precise classification of carbon monoxide toxicity cases, essential for clinical, legal, and epidemiological purposes. Understanding these distinctions helps healthcare professionals and coders assign the correct ICD-10 code for carbon monoxide poisoning according to the source, intent, and clinical setting.

Includes

This note appears immediately under a three character code title to further define, or give examples of, the content of the category.

  • asphyxiation from carbon monoxide
  • toxic effect of carbon monoxide from all sources

7th Character Note

Certain ICD-10-CM categories have applicable 7th characters. The applicable 7th character is required for all codes within the category, or as the notes in the Tabular List instruct. The 7th character must always be the 7th character in the data field. If a code that requires a 7th character is not 6 characters, a placeholder X must be used to fill in the empty characters.

  • The appropriate 7th character is to be added to each code from category T58

7th Character

Indicates that a seventh character is to be assigned to codes in a subcategory.

  • A - initial encounter
  • D - subsequent encounter
  • S - sequela
