Summary & Overview
ICD-10-PCS Code For Cardiac Output: Procedure Code Group Overview
The International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision, Procedure Coding System (ICD-10-PCS) code group XXE2 includes procedures performed to determine the level of physiological function of the heart using computer-aided measurement techniques in the cardiovascular system. These ICD-10-PCS codes are used for inpatient documentation when clinicians perform cardiac output measurement and computer-aided assessment to establish a point-in-time evaluation of cardiac performance. Accurate coding within the ICD-10-PCS XXE2 group is essential for proper inpatient reimbursement, as it captures the procedure performed and supports clinical documentation accuracy and determines appropriate case mix and payment.

Typical Clinical Scenarios
- An elderly patient with known ischemic cardiomyopathy is admitted from the emergency department with acute decompensated heart failure and hypotension that is not responding to initial diuretics and vasodilator adjustments. The inpatient team needs an objective, computer-aided measurement of cardiac output to guide titration of inotropes and vasopressors and to assess hemodynamic response to therapy. Typical codes:
XXE2X19 - A patient undergoing high-risk valve surgery is admitted electively to the cardiac surgical service for preoperative optimization and hemodynamic monitoring; invasive and noninvasive assessments are planned to document baseline cardiac output before and after cardiopulmonary bypass. A computer-aided measurement of cardiac output is performed to provide precise perioperative physiologic data for anesthetic and surgical management. Typical codes:
XXE2X19 - A critically ill postoperative patient in the intensive care unit develops signs of low perfusion and oliguria after complicated coronary artery bypass grafting, prompting concern for low cardiac output syndrome. The team performs a computer-assisted cardiac output measurement to confirm decreased output, differentiate causes of shock, and guide escalation of mechanical support or pharmacologic therapy.
