The ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code L89.90 is used for patients with pressure ulcers on unspecified site with unspecified severity. This code is often associated with patients who are at risk for developing pressure ulcers due to their limited mobility or extended bed rest. A low air loss mattress can help prevent and treat pressure ulcers in these patients by providing a constant flow of air to reduce pressure on the skin.ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code L89.90
The ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code L89.91 is used for patients with pressure ulcers on unspecified site, stage 1. This is the mildest form of pressure ulcer, where the skin is not broken but may appear red or discolored. A low air loss mattress can help prevent further progression of the pressure ulcer and promote healing by reducing pressure on the affected area and improving circulation.ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code L89.91
The ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code L89.92 is used for patients with pressure ulcers on unspecified site, stage 2. This stage is characterized by a partial thickness skin loss, with the ulcer appearing as an abrasion, blister, or shallow crater. A low air loss mattress can help provide a healing environment for these pressure ulcers by evenly distributing pressure and reducing friction on the affected area.ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code L89.92
The ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code L89.93 is used for patients with pressure ulcers on unspecified site, stage 3. This stage is characterized by a full thickness skin loss, with the ulcer extending down to the subcutaneous tissue. A low air loss mattress can help promote healing and prevent infection in these pressure ulcers by reducing pressure on the affected area and maintaining a dry and clean environment.ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code L89.93
The ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code L89.94 is used for patients with pressure ulcers on unspecified site, stage 4. This is the most severe stage of pressure ulcers, where the ulcer extends down to the muscle, bone, or supporting structures. A low air loss mattress can help alleviate pressure and promote healing in these patients by providing a comfortable and supportive surface for the affected area.ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code L89.94
The ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code L89.95 is used for patients with pressure ulcers on unspecified site, unstageable. This means that the stage of the pressure ulcer cannot be determined due to the presence of necrotic tissue or eschar. A low air loss mattress can help remove excess moisture and promote granulation tissue formation in these ulcers, making them easier to stage and treat.ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code L89.95
The ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code L89.96 is used for patients with pressure ulcers on unspecified site, chronic. This code is used for pressure ulcers that are not expected to heal within the patient's lifetime. A low air loss mattress can help improve the quality of life for these patients by providing pressure relief and preventing further breakdown of skin and tissue.ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code L89.96
The ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code L89.97 is used for patients with pressure ulcers on unspecified site, other. This code is used for pressure ulcers that do not fit into the previously mentioned categories. A low air loss mattress can help prevent and treat these pressure ulcers by providing a supportive and therapeutic surface for the affected area.ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code L89.97
The ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code L89.98 is used for patients with pressure ulcers on unspecified site, unspecified. This code is used when the site and stage of the pressure ulcer are not specified. A low air loss mattress can help improve the overall comfort and well-being of these patients by providing a supportive and pressure-relieving surface for the body.ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code L89.98
The ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code L89.99 is used for patients with pressure ulcers on unspecified site, unspecified with necrosis. This code is used when the pressure ulcer has necrotic tissue present. A low air loss mattress can help promote healing and prevent infection in these ulcers by providing a dry and clean environment for the affected area. In conclusion, low air loss mattresses can be beneficial for patients with a variety of pressure ulcer diagnoses. By providing a therapeutic and supportive surface, they can help prevent and treat pressure ulcers, as well as improve the overall comfort and well-being of patients with limited mobility or extended bed rest. It is important to consult with a healthcare professional to determine the best treatment plan for each individual patient.ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code L89.99
