Y62: Failure of sterile precautions during surgical and medical care
Y62.1: During infusion or transfusion
The ICD-10 code Y62.1 refers to a medical condition that occurs during the process of an infusion or transfusion. Infusions and transfusions are medical procedures where substances such as fluids, medications, or blood products are delivered directly into the body through a vein. This specific condition might occur if there are complications with the procedure, such as an allergic reaction, contamination, or a mismatched transfusion. Symptoms could vary widely depending on the exact nature of the complication. For example, an allergic reaction may cause hives, itching, and difficulty breathing, while contamination could result in fever, chills, or an infection. Similarly, a mismatched transfusion could lead to fever, back pain, and dark urine. Recognizing these signs early and notifying healthcare professionals is crucial for prompt treatment and management.
