Y10-Y34: Event of undetermined intent
Y14: Poisoning by and exposure to other and unspecified drugs, medicaments and biological substances, undetermined intent
Y14 is related to a group of conditions related to poisoning or exposure to various drugs, medicaments, and biological substances where the intent is undetermined, meaning it's not clear whether the exposure was accidental, intentional self-harm, accidental misuse, or an assault. This exposure can occur through ingestion, inhalation, skin contact, or injection. The substances may include prescribed drugs, over-the-counter medications, or biological materials such as toxins or pollutants. Symptoms can widely vary depending on the type of substance, quantity, exposure route, and individual's health condition, but may include nausea, vomiting, drowsiness, confusion, difficulty breathing, seizures, or changes in heart rate or blood pressure. Without prompt and appropriate treatment, these conditions can lead to severe health complications or might even be fatal. Therefore, any suspected exposure or poisoning must be taken seriously and medical attention must be sought immediately.
