About coding postoperative collapse

The ICD-10-CM code for postoperative collapse is T81.10 (Postprocedural shock unspecified).

Within T81.1, choose T81.10 (unspecified) only when documentation doesn't support a more specific option: postprocedural cardiogenic shock (T81.11), postprocedural septic shock (T81.12) and other postprocedural shock (T81.19).

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).
