This excludes acute and chronic respiratory failure (518.84), acute respiratory distress (518.82), acute respiratory failure following trauma and surgery (518.51), chronic respiratory failure (518.83), respiratory arrest (799.1), and respiratory failure, newborn (770.84). This applies to respiratory failure NOS.
