About coding pleural surgical shock
The ICD-10-CM code for pleural surgical shock is T81.19 (Other postprocedural shock). The official index lists 1 more specific code, so check the documentation for details such as type, cause, site or severity before settling on T81.19.
Within T81.1, choose T81.19 (Other postprocedural shock) only when documentation doesn't support a more specific option: unspecified (T81.10), postprocedural cardiogenic shock (T81.11) and postprocedural septic shock (T81.12).
Codes in this range require a 7th character: A for initial encounter, D for subsequent encounter and S for sequela. Use placeholder "X" characters to fill any empty positions before the 7th character.
Use an additional code for adverse effect, if applicable, to identify drug (T36-T50 with fifth or sixth character 5).
