Rachel Mack MSN, RN, CCDS, CDIP, CCS, CRC discusses CDI Tips for Transient Tachypnea of the Newborn (TTN): Streamline your documentation with quick pointers for accurate coding and diagnosis. TTN, a common cause of respiratory distress in newborns, can be distinguished from conditions like neonatal pneumonia or sepsis by key symptoms and characteristic radiographic features. Pro Tip: Look for classic signs like tachypnea with clear lungs, fluid in interlobar fissures, and no alveolar consolidation. Code it under ICD-10 P22.1 and remember common aliases like 'Respiratory Distress Syndrome Type II' or 'Wet Lung Syndrome.'
