What should be the ICD 10 code for Ventilator Dependent Respiratory Failure. (VDRL)
I'm glad I mentioned that this was not my area of expertise.Ventilator dependent doesn't mean that the condition was a complication of the ventilator, only that the patient requires the ventilator for support, so I wouldn't use the complication codes. If this is the only detail you have about the condition, I would code it simply as unspecified respiratory failure.
