R09.0 Asphyxia and hypoxemia (also a header)
R09.1 Pleurisy
R09.2 Respiratory arrest
R09.3 Abnormal sputum
R09.8 Other specified symptoms and signs involving the circulatory and respiratory systems (also a header)

What has happened to this code

Every change the publisher made, from 2012 to now. Entries marked draft are from the pre-implementation releases: ICD-10 took effect on 1 October 2015, so nothing before FY2016 was ever valid on a claim.
