Y72: Otorhinolaryngological devices associated with adverse incidents
Y72.8: Otorhinolaryngological devices associated with adverse incidents : miscellaneous devices, not elsewhere classified
Otorhinolaryngological devices associated with adverse incidents refer to mishaps or malfunctions related to various devices used in otorhinolaryngology (or ENT, ear, nose, and throat) medical practice that aren't classified elsewhere. These complications can occur due to device failure, incorrect usage, or an unforeseen reaction within the patient's body. The presented symptoms can vary widely depending on the device and the specific situation. However, they may include pain in the affected area, redness, swelling, or increased difficulty in hearing, breathing, or swallowing. These adverse incidents could potentially impact the ear, nose, or throat areas, and may also influence the surrounding areas in the head and neck. The progression and severity of these incidents are contingent on numerous factors including the type of device, duration of exposure, and individual patient characteristics.
