Y90: Evidence of alcohol involvement determined by blood alcohol level

Y90.7: Blood alcohol level of 200-239 mg/100 ml

The condition under the ICD-10 code Y90.7 refers to a blood alcohol level of 200-239 mg/100 ml. This indicates severe alcohol intoxication, where the person has a high concentration of alcohol in their bloodstream. Consuming a significant amount of alcohol leads to this state. Symptoms can include nausea, vomiting, confusion, and even unconsciousness. It impacts the whole body, but the digestive and nervous systems are primarily affected. At this level, the person's judgment, motor coordination, and sensory perception are significantly impaired. This intense intoxication can also lead to potential harm or risk for others due to the person’s inability to make sound decisions or accurately respond to their environment. Additionally, such a high concentration of alcohol may also contribute to alcohol-related injuries, traffic accidents, violence, and fatal alcohol syndrome.
