What is this code?

LOINC codes identify tests, measurements, observations, survey items, and clinical questions in a standardized way. It is associated with the component Tissue perfusion and oxygenation. It is commonly used with the system or sample type ^Patient.

When is it used?

  • Used in lab systems, EHRs, and clinical data exchange.
  • May identify a test, observation, survey item, or clinical document request rather than a diagnosis.
  • Status: ACTIVE
  • Order vs observation: Observation

What it does not mean

  • The code identifies the observation or test, not the actual result.

Key facts

Tissue perfusion and oxygenation
This term represents a non-invasive assessment that measures the delivery of blood and oxygen to tissues in the body, providing crucial information about cellular metabolism and organ function. This physiological evaluation can be performed through various methods such as visual inspection, oxygen saturation measurements, imaging techniques like sidestream dark field imaging, or specialized sensors, offering valuable insights into the balance between local oxygen delivery and consumption in specific tissue beds.
