Y70: Anaesthesiology devices associated with adverse incidents
Y70.8: Anaesthesiology devices associated with adverse incidents : miscellaneous devices, not elsewhere classified
The Y70.8 code refers to a medical condition arising from the use of anaesthesiology devices that are not classified elsewhere. This means that due to various reasons, an anaesthetic device can cause an unexpected and unfavorable event during its operation. Symptoms related to this issue can greatly vary based on the specific incident, though some common side effects after anaesthesia may include nausea, vomiting, dry mouth, sore throat, shivering, sleepiness or mild confusion. In more severe cases, devices can cause injury or harm to the patient's body, respiratory difficulties or cardiovascular issues. These incidents are not due to the inherent nature of the disease being treated, but are unexpected mishaps or complications related to the use of these particular devices in the anaesthesiology field.
