This code describes a subsequent encounter for a patient who has experienced accidental poisoning by fibrinolysis-affecting drugs, other than those specifically classified elsewhere.
Example 1: A patient was initially treated in the emergency room for accidental overdose of a fibrinolysis-affecting drug. They are now being seen by their primary care physician for follow-up care related to the poisoning., A patient accidentally ingested their spouse's medication, which is a fibrinolysis-affecting drug. After initial treatment, they are now receiving ongoing care for complications resulting from the poisoning., A child accidentally ingested a fibrinolysis-affecting drug found in their grandparent's medicine cabinet. Following emergency treatment and stabilization, they are now seen for follow-up monitoring of their condition.
