Y60: Unintentional cut, puncture, perforation or haemorrhage during surgical and medical care
Y60.2: During kidney dialysis or other perfusion
During kidney dialysis or other perfusion refers to a condition encountered during a medical procedure in which harmful waste and excess fluids are removed from the blood in patients whose kidneys aren't able to adequately perform this task. Dialysis or perfusion-associated problems mostly arise from the equipment used in the procedure. Errors or complications can include issues like incorrect needle placement, equipment malfunctions, or contamination leading to possible infection. Symptoms and consequences depend on the specific issue and can range from localized problems, like bruising or swelling around the needle site, to systemic issues like fatigue or fever. While the occurrence of these issues varies greatly, it is typically managed promptly by healthcare professionals once identified during the procedure.
