5A1935Z ICD-10-PCS Code: Respiratory Ventilation, Less than 24 Consecutive Hours
Axis Breakdown
Every ICD-10-PCS code is exactly seven characters, one per axis. Each character's meaning is defined by its position in the code.
| Position | Value | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Section5 | Extracorporeal or Systemic Assistance and Performance |
| 2 | Body SystemA | Physiological Systems |
| 3 | Root Operation1 | Performance Completely taking over a physiological function by extracorporeal means |
| 4 | Body System9 | Respiratory |
| 5 | Duration3 | Less than 24 Consecutive Hours |
| 6 | Function5 | Ventilation |
| 7 | QualifierZ | No Qualifier |
MS-DRG Grouper Relationships (FY2027)
Potential MS-DRG participation — not a DRG assignment.
The MS-DRG grouper treats this as a non-operating-room procedure. It appears in the surgical logic of 1 MS-DRG:
- MDC 04 — Respiratory System Diagnosis with Ventilator Support: DRG 208
From the CMS MS-DRG Definitions Manual, Appendix E. Actual DRG assignment depends on the complete claim.
