About coding postprocedural postoperative shock
The ICD-10-CM code for postprocedural postoperative shock is T81.10 (Postprocedural shock unspecified). The official index lists 8 more specific codes, so check the documentation for details such as type, cause, site or severity before settling on T81.10.
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).
