Critical care nurses encounter numerous issues related to ventilator support, including physiological conditions that impede optimal ventilator function, dyspnea, and patient-ventilator dyssynchrony.
Typically, only critical care patients are in the ICU. However, when a patient is in the ICU as a âboarder,â due to a lack of available space in the facility, and this patient does not have a critical diagnosis or critical symptoms, then coders should report other appropriate evaluation and management (E/M) codes.
