Outpatient—Emergency Department (Respiratory) Patient Name: Richard McEwen Diagnosis: Acute bronchial asthma A child was brought to the emergency department (ED) in distress, having significant difficulty breathing. The mother stated that her son had been wheezing and coughing upon exertion for about a week, but she thought he just had a cold. He began exhibiting severe symptoms today when he was playing at a local playground. The ED physician provided a level 2 service and determined that the patient had a past medical history of bronchial asthma. During examination, bronchospasm and hypoxemia were observed. The patient was administered an intramuscular injection of 0.1 mg epinephrine and given a portable nebulizer with compressor. A peak flow meter was used to monitor the patient's expiratory airflow during the next 2 hours. Once the airway was clear, the patient was discharged home; and the mother was instructed to schedule an appointment with his primary care physician as soon as possible for follow-up. Instructions: Assign ICD-10-CM, CPT, and HCPCS level II codes for this case. Please be aware that when an answer consists of more than one code, there will be an answer blank for each code.
