Coders should be assessing their knowledge of anatomy and physiology and preparing for ICD-10-CM/PCSâs more detailed documentation requirements for code capture. The upcoming series of articles will review and discuss the various anatomy and physiology body systems as well as how ICD-10-CM/PCS is impacted by them.

Croup is a common infection that causes swelling in the trachea (windpipe) and larynx (voice box). Croup occurs in children six months to 12 years of age. It is most common in children one to three years of age. Because croup is caused by a virus, it can spread to other children through coughing and sneezing. The virus also is spread by dirty hands, shared toys, and shared drinking glasses or spoons and forks.
