ICD-11 code : 6C48.2;
Preferred Label : Caffeine intoxication;
ICD-11 definition : Caffeine intoxication is a clinically significant transient condition that develops
during or shortly after the consumption of caffeine that is characterised by disturbances
in consciousness, cognition, perception, affect, behaviour, or coordination. These
disturbances are caused by the known pharmacological effects of caffeine and their
intensity is closely related to the amount of caffeine consumed. They are time-limited
and abate as caffeine is cleared from the body. Presenting features may include restlessness,
anxiety, excitement, insomnia, flushed face, tachycardia, diuresis, gastrointestinal
disturbances, muscle twitching, psychomotor agitation, perspiration or chills, and
nausea or vomiting. Cardiac arrhythmias may occur. Disturbances typical of intoxication
tend to occur at relatively higher doses (e.g., 1 g per day). Very high doses of
caffeine (e.g., 5 g) can result in respiratory distress or seizures and can be fatal.;
